Win7 fails boot & does not start the keyboard
Dell vostro 400 on Win7Pro from vista pro upgrade disk ...months ago.
All is well until I boot it with a usb stick having data files on it.
I remove stick and boot but it fails, freezes, stopping 100% inert on first page on screen.
I also am left with an unactivated keyboard so can't hit F2/F12 to go to a fix point.
Can't start the machine by booting with the Win7 disk in the reader.
This is now like a dead machine except for a useless page 1 looking at me.
How do I start this machine and get it to boot? Any bypass?
Anybody have any suggestions?
