bootless Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 "The NEC disk drive should be checked as removable. Removable refers to the media itself."Oh, I thought it meant the drive could be removed, lol. Thanks. I screwed up with the driver info. They aren't in the same paragraph as the WD drives but rather the start of a new paragraph for that hardware. Sorry. My bad. I had to look at it again to realize it. I will fix the previous post but leave the info as maybe it has value or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootless Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Update-If I have any external plugged in now and try to boot it won't boot. If I have the external unplugged but don't remove all instances of it in Device Manager it won't boot either. Strangest thing. Once any instance to external is removed then I can boot normally.How can I get back to the USB default settings without doing a clean install of WIN98SE?Can I install certain files over the top to get back to default USB driver settings. I can see that Windows is loading the wrong driver for the new external h.d. I know which driver should be loaded with the external. Is there a way to manually install the driver to the associated external, like a DOS command? That might do the trick for my system being able to see a new external. Can I make a boot disk from the saved registry settings that do work when an external h.d. is plugged in and boot from it? There has to be a way to fix this usb issue.Any ideas?thanks.
