Pokušaj da se poigraš sa boot.ini switchevima, konkretno da izostaviš /fastdetect switch koji je po defaultu uključen u XP-u.
Cut-paste iz Microsoftove baze znanja:
" /FASTDETECT
Default boot option for Windows. Replaces the Windows NT 4 switch /NOSERIALMICE. The reason the qualifier exists (vs. just having NTDETECT perform this operation by default) is so that NTDETECT can support booting Windows NT 4. Windows Plug and Play device drivers perform detection of parallel and serial devices, but Windows NT 4 expects NTDETECT to perform the detection. Thus, specifying /FASTDETECT causes NTDETECT to skip parallel and serial device enumeration (actions that are not required when booting Windows), whereas omitting the switch causes NTDETECT to perform this enumeration (which is required for booting Windows NT 4)."
Izedituj svoj boot.ini i to liniju koja izgleda (otprilike) ovako:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
izbaci /fastdetect switch, snimi promene, restartuj računar i nadaj se najboljem.
Kažem pokušaj jer bi ovo trebalo da bude rešenje problema, ali sam našao na netu da ni ovako ljudima nije hteo da proradi serial miš.
