Re: Booting in with USB devices attached and turned on



I downloaded the manual for that motherboard. I can't see any really obvious
settings in the BIOS that would cause this problem. There is one setting
that you could try. It is on the Integrated Peripherals page in the BIOS.
The setting is "USB 1.1 Legacy Support" If it is enabled try disabling it.
If it is disabled try enabling it. If this setting is disabled and you have
a USB keyboard you may not be able to get back into the BIOS until you hook
up a PS/2 keyboard so make sure you have a PS/2 keyboard before disabling
it.

I have MSI 845G Max motherboard. I have flashed the bios but that's all I
know about bios and I have explicit instructions to do that.

Also one other thing that might help you with helping me is: I have a
Wacom
on one of the USB ports and it doesn't cause any problems booting in. I
bet
it turns itself in in a later order, huh?

I'm hoping this information will help!!

Okay, pass along all the instructions!!! I'm good at following
directions..

Can you give me directions where to look for the boot order or any other
information that's needed, please?

With some BIOSs there is a seperate entry to enable booting from a USB
device. This is different from setting the boot order. What motherboard
do
you have?

I don't believe that is the case. I believe my Bios are set to boot
off of the C drive only but I will check.

Any other suggestions, since I don't think the Bios setting is set on
that?

Look in the BIOS settings for your computer for an item that says
something like "Boot from USB device". Make sure it is disabled. It
is different for different motherboards so you'll have to see
exactly what options are available in your BIOS.

I've had a problem with USB devices in the past but found a
work-around but
now it's causing more problems.

1st problem was that I got a scanner (USB) and when the scanner was
on, the
computer would not boot in. Easy solution, turn off scanner and
then boot in
and then turn on scanner.

Now I've gotten a USB hub and it's doing the same thing. It won't
boot in until I disconnect and turn it off and boot in without it.

What a pain!!! Is there any solution for this? I have Windows XP
Pro, SP2,
Ram is 1 gigabyte, 2.0ghz, Pentium 4.

Anything I can check or do to resolved this issue?
