I did a hard re-boot last night on my desktop (Win XP Pro, P4 2.7GHZ, Custom gAMING sYSTEM i BUILT IN 2002..she’s old but good), anyway it wouldn’t boot past post. screen locked up, wierd I thougt. Did I do damage to the MB. HDD. what. I opened her up and felt the HDD spinning so it was free, It reminded me of how a PC would act if no keyboard or mouse was plugged in. Sooo for s&^)@ and grins, I plugged the mouse USB directly into the back instead of the USB Hub and voallah she booted up fine. Again wierd, was the hub bad, no cause the steering wheel even when it didn’t boot up moved like it was supposed to and it is plugged into the Hub. For some reason I removed the USB Flashdrive, plugged the mouse back into the hub and it booted up fine..I put the Flashdrive back in, rebooted and it stopped again??? I have had this USB flash drive for a while and never had this happen before..How did it suddenly cause my PC to look for it as a bootable drive,,At least that is what it seems like it is doing..I plugged it into my Laptop running Vista Prem 64bit, rebooted it and nothing abnormal, again wierd?
Anybody have an answer as to why this XP desktop suddenly wants to freeze up on boot when the flashdrive is in the hub??
