Riiight.

The reboot (I.E: display relighting with the boot logos) was not happening before.

Not realising that, I whipped the power just as the Kernel began flashing and recorded the If there is anyone present who wants to upgrade the flash, let them speak now,
or forever hold their peace...
message.

I went through the upload again expecting to whip the power/click cancel just as the disk pump search began.

This time the player lit up and found the disks all on its own, it is now pumping happily.

I HTH the next person.

Speaking too soon; thanks all is fine now
