Window restart after plug in USB thumb drive

[Guest]

Hi,

I have some problem regarding usb thumb drive.
When i boot up my system (win XP or XPe) with my usb thumb drive inserted, i
would get a 0x0000007B error and my system would keep on restart. There is no
way to enter OS unless i take out my USB thumb drive.

1) Is this problem related to win XP or XPe OS??
2) I'm am using Phoenix bios 4.0 release 6. Could this also be the problem??

Please help. Thanks

It is your BIOS. It is set to boot to USB. Change that and your problem
goes away. I had this issue with my desktop trying to boot to my iPod
after a BIOS update was applied.

Hi Dearheart,

Thanks for the quick reply, initially my BIOS setting was set to boot from
harddisk 1st priority followed by USB thumbdrive. But i was doing some bootup
with the USB so i change the priority to USB thumbdrive 1st follow by
harddisk. After i finish my stuff and set back to boot from harddisk 1st
priority thumbdrive 2nd, that is when i cannot boot up my OS with the
thumbdrive inserted.

If it's the BIOS causing the problem, is it due to the fact that Phoenix
BIOS version 4 release 6 does not support booting up with usb thumbdrive
inserted??
Thanks for any help that you can offer

So you're trying to boot to the thumb drive? Dietmar's your man there.

Hi Dearheart,

Booting into the thumbdrive work perfectly fine for me. The problem occurs
when i change back the priority to harddisk 1st and wants to bootup from
harddisk with the thumbdrive still inserted. XP/Xpe simply keep resetting.

who is Dietmar??how do i get to him??i need all the help i can get now.
Thanks

Ah. Gotcha. That's strange, then... it could well be a BIOS fault.
Resetting mine to not boot to USB sorted it out.

Hi Dearheart,

Could it be the fault of win XP/Xpe??the reset caused a blue screen of error
7B and by this time BIOS probably have hand over operation to the OS. I not
so sure of this and that y i need to find the root cause of this problem.
Thanks.
