I managed to mess up a windows xp pro machine to where it now boots
but fails to recognize mouse or keyboard, I cannot get logged in
since inserting the password requires a working keyboard.
I've attempted to use a windows XP pro installation disk to try a
restore. However I get a blue screen when it tries to start windows.
I see the line..
`Setup is inspecting your machines hardware'
Then windows setup comes up.
`starting windows' then a while later the blue
screen.
Blue screen rough content:
,----
| A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
| damage to your computer.
|
| If this is the first time... blah blah...
|
| Blah blah
|
| Technical information
|
| ***Stop: 0x0000007b (0XF78D2524, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000,
| 0X00000000)
`----
The machine can boot as I've mentioned but has no mouse or keyboard.
I've plugged usb mouse and keyboard directly to the back of this
computer but still no cigar.
Does anyone have a recommendation besides `reinstall'.
I mean, that would be my very last resort since I have built up quite
a handy system for my work.
Maybe some kind of boot disk that would allow me to enter the password
or by pass it ...?
