AARGH! XP NTFS partition reboots incessantly! I am able to use the keyboard prior to the OS loading. As soon as the desktop appears, the USB keyboard and mouse no longer work, and the system reboots. I have run check disk/r via boot disk and the hardware scan via the boot menu options with no detected problem. I can get into safe mode, by selecting F8 but with no keyboard or mouse am stuck for further investigation. I have tried to use last known good configuration - no dice. I appreciate any help, as I want to stop talking like a pirate! Thank You-
