We had one whose Microsoft keyboard and mouse disappeared after an upgrade.. and also after a fresh install of XP.
This disappearance suggests a likely hardware problem. If you can give us the make and model of computer, we may be able to get the right contact point for you if it is hardware. Generally any computer manufacturer has a vested interest in solving your problem the first time you call, because three calls kill all the profit in selling you the system. It is not possible to make a dual-boot linux with windows XP running ntfs and having the whole disk to start with. If you want to try linux you will either have to reinstall XP with FAT32 or install it on a partition less than the whole disk leaving a space unpartitioned or use partition magic or a similar tool to work with the partitions. One of the disadvantages of using free software is that it deals mostly with formats that are not secret or priprietary or for which one must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement to obtain information. With all of that said, yes we are willing to help anyone with any system here, but some systems we know more about than others. The more we know about your hardware setup and system, the better positined we will be to help you. Civileme
