   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?
