I was trying to boot up with a boot disk so my husband could play Full Throttleas he keeps getting kicked out at various places with our regular boot and our "doom" type boot. Cusutomer support at Full Thottle says I have to contact Conner, the hard drive people, and tell them I am trying to run an overlay and which one and how to use with a boot disk. I found Conner on the internet and wrote to them several days ago but no response. Do you have any idea what I need and/or how to get it or what to do???
