|    Locked Out Of Changing Boot Menu - Can't    |
|    13 Dec 20 20:07:33    |
      I just had my Windows XP Pro reinstalled because of years of problems       which rendered my XP a mess. During reinstalling my programs, I find       I can get into the Boot Menu (F12), but neither my keyboard nor mouse       will allow changing from the Hard Disk Boot to the ability to boot       from a CD. There is no movement of either. That means for one thing,       I cannot use a Repair Disk (Recovery) disk in the future.              The version of Win XP reinstalled was from my       original-bought-and-paid-for-CD. In other words, a legitimate XP       copy. The machine is the same one that this copy of Win 7 came with.       And it always before was set to boot from a CD.              Anyone have any idea about this?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
