for background to this you really need to see this thread but especially last post....
Anyway - situation now is that I have my new AMD64 rig and I can boot to BIOS or DOS and keyboard/mouse seem fine... Also I can boot Windows and all the startup tasks etc complete (although pretty slowly I have to say) BUT at no point am I able to move the mouse nor access any input via keyboard either.
I am using my old rig to post.... As it says in that thread so far I have tried:-
Last known good config
Safe Mode
Booting to XP CD - but the only thing I'll get access to is the recovery console so far as I can see.... does anyone know of anything I can try from there?
I may TRY a boot to the Caldera-DOS recovery environment of DriveImage and see if I can recover that way, but this is a last resort, like my last backup is about ten days old because I had just found DriveImage was also hanging on this machine.....
Seems like I am going through a "cursed" stage.....
