My comp will not boot if a usb ext HD or a pen drive is attached. The HP printer does not seem to be a problem. Once booted does your USB pen work? On Suse It either gives a blank screen or locks the PC up completely, and that's with two different makes of pen drive. Both worked fine under Suse 9.0, Unfortunately I have got a lot of downloads on my hard drive, so a reinstall is a bit of a bind, but if I knew the USB and floppy worked fine with Mandrake 10, I would bite the bullet and wipe my drive.

Re: [newbie] help! Mandrake 9.1 installed, WinXP killed!
if you boot up on the Winxp cd and choose recovery console, that will bring you to a dos prompt. you can then try chkdsk /r, fixboot or fixmbr. There is help on the web if you do a google search for unmountable boot volume that will bring up further help but the chkdsk /r worked for me. Richard G.

Re: [newbie] ARTICLE: Windows XP password are useless
Hi, Another thing that is possible with windows xp home edition, is that if you boot into safe mode , you can change all the user passwords to whatever you want you don't even need to know the old password, you just change it.It dosen't work with winxp pro though.

With physical access to a standard PC, everything is possible (within about 15-30 mins), except if you encrypt your filesystems. The only new thing is, that you now have such a rescue disk for MS Windows XP by using a MS Windows 2000 CD, instead of having to make your own one.
