Hi Guys. Is it possible to, and if so, how do I activate/install the USB drivers so that USB applications can run in safe mode. I need this as my backup external Iomega CD Zip drive runs off the USB port. If I stuff up and do not have an up to date backup, I can still load data to the Zip drive whilst in Safe. A BIIIIIGG ASK! Regards

not sure if you can load the drivers in safe-mode. but certain newer motherboard can detect usb drives in a way that they can be seen in safe-mode. my motherboard can do this by enabling a setting in the bios. but it seem to cause other problems and isn't worth it for me. TheGorx.net
