keyboard issues!!

all the backup data is already on my 2nd (400Gb) drive, I need to get stuff off the main (500GB) drive

ok I cleared the CMOS. Now it went through the first part of the setup just fine (with the ps2 kb and mouse. After the reboot, the screen comes up saying setup is restarting and I see the mouse pointer, then it's like I hit the reset button and reboots. I'm trying the NDI again now, maybe somethin wasn't quite right

:EDIT: failed the second time, looks like it's start from scratch

It must have crashed. My grandmother's emachines was crashing just after installing windows a lot, then windows wouldn't even install, similar to how it behaves if there is an overclock (won't get some files from the CD), then, at that point, I just gave up. I tried about a year later, windows installed, and it worked just fine.

I think you need to zero wipe the drive using the ultimate boot CD or do a format/mbr because this is typical of mbr corruption.

i would that also cb, i ave seen meny a machine that wouldn't install because the existing install was damaged,een if you format it, some time it would go mad, mainly becuase theres the mbr error,

UBCD is good, i personally have a machine that has low level format in the bios really cool, but takes years, can fix drives that are condemed.

yep, went in and erased my partitions, then repartitioned, then formatted, then isntalled, all is well. now I need to figure out how to setup my old accounts (norton, diskeeper, etc) and get them all going again

also need to find my CD for my d-link wireless card
