marianoi 0 Posted March 7, 2005 Hi All, Thanks for your previous replays. I have a new issue to comment you guys. I have an external ZIP drive (Iomega 100) connected to one of the USB 2 ports of my PC. When restarting the PC with the ZIP drive connected to it the system never boots! (black screen before the win XP screen). If I unplug the drive, automatically the system starts booting again. I checked the BIOS and the HD boots before any USB device…actually I disabled the option for booting from devices other than CD and HD. Does anyone know how can I solve this issue? Thanks a lot!!!

jaylittle 0 Posted March 7, 2005 I've heard of this before. It has something to do with XP thinking that the zip drive is a harddrive. Have you tried booting up with the zip drive connected while a zip disk is inside of it? There is a knowledge base article on this IIRC - I'll try to dig it up for ya. EDIT: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=304776 Doesn't look too good. MS reccommends reinstalling without the zip drive connected. Share this post Link to post
