12/16: I measured some of the fibers in bundle 41, but I noticed traces of the cladding appearing on the fibers, so I stopped until I could consult someone about this problem. I swept lab 405 before leaving.

12/17-12/21: Dr. Jones replaced the hard drive in the computer next to the phone. He showed me that the new drive must be in the master configuration rather than the slave configuration. He instructed me to install Windows 7.
12/22: I installed Windows 7 on the computer next to the phone in lab 403. When I put the installation CD into the DVD drive, a menu of boot options appeared. First I had to enter "1" and later after the computer rebooted it required "2" to complete installation and start running Windows. Another step in the installation was to delete all the partitions on the hard drive because they were not in the NTFS format Windows needed.

Then I tried to install Windows again with the same result. I tried the 32-bit Windows in case the CD was not bootable because it was 64-bit, but 32-bit was no better. Then I wondered if I was making a mistake in installing Windows. I looked up the installation directions and found that I was supposed to turn off the computer after inserting the installation disk. When I turned it on again, it booted from the installation disk. There were no more problems from that point on.

12/31: The computer by the phone in lab 403 has been turning off instead of sleeping correctly. I found suggestions online to update the motherboard driver, but I wanted to investigate the computer to discover the cause of the problem. I turned it on, and an error described by [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929826 Microsoft] occurred. I found an [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff793434.aspx explanation] of KMS activation that may be helpful.
After restarting to install important updates, the activation error disappeared, and I continued trying to find information about sleep. One of the [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266283 knowledge base articles] describes a computer that is unable to wake using the mouse or keyboard. The mouse on the computer by the phone is allowed to wake the computer. [http://www.cnet.com/products/intel-desktop-board-dg33fb-classic-series-motherboard-atx-lga775-socket-g33-series/specs/ CNet] says the motherboard supports ACPI.
