- WinXP hangs on bot without ext. USB attached
- Posted by JeffB on January 23rd, 2008
Recently cloned WinXP machine, loaded patches, etc. If I remove the
USB drive (ext) the system hangs about the point where the screen
'blanks' before the login screen appears.
If I power down and add the USB drive, it boots fine. WHen USB
attached, I do hear/see it being accessed at the above hang point.
any ideas?

Does it boot in safe mode?
or tried boot log mode, then checked what its hanging on?

that stored on root of C: as bootlog.txt?
