Re: Lucid no longer boots / Can boot from CD or flash card either.
Allow me to share an experience I had recently with my laptop:
I was getting corrupted CD's when burning them and the notebook wouldn't boot from the CD. This notebook has a removable CD/DVD drive, so I wound up removing and reinstalling the same CD/DVD drive. That improved the connection enough to solve my problems with data corruption. Could this be a problem for you?
Also, are you sure you're booting from the CD or USB key, not the HDD? Elementary I know, but have you checked your BIOS setting to make sure you are booting from the CD/USB? In the past I have unplugged the power to a HDD just to make sure I was booting from CD/DVD/USB.
Just brainstormin', you've probably thought of all this but it's free to ask right?
