| 674764 | 2008-06-01 11:52:00 | Windows XP XP2. I recently installed a new printer and the computer won't boot if the printer is already on. Is there a setting that I can change or do I have to ensure the printer is off before starting the computer. Windows XP SP2 |

| 674765 | 2008-06-01 11:56:00 | Does the printer have a card reader on it?? If it does, is there a memory card in it?? If there is, take it out And is the hdd the boot disk in the BIOS? |

| 674766 | 2008-06-01 12:09:00 | I have the same problem when my Sony video camera is connected to my computer. It's only an issue if I have to reboot while I've got it connected, but I'll try taking the card out next time and see what happens. |

| 674767 | 2008-06-01 12:10:00 | The printer has memory card slots but no card that I can see. To check if the hdd is the boot disk do I need to do this when I start the computer. Is that the only way to check the BIOS? |

You have to get into the BIOS, before you get into windows Usually by pressing the Del key after you reboot. Or it could be F1/F2/F10 |

| 674769 | 2008-06-01 12:19:00 | Ok I'll do that now. And....... dopey me, of course there was no memory card in the printer, I didn't put one in. I only have a camera and connect it via the lead thing, USB?? | bellbird (6169) | ||
| 674770 | 2008-06-01 12:35:00 | Can you be a little more specific about what you mean by it wont boot? eg does it blue screen, does it say that it can't find the operating system or invalid boot disk, can you get into safe mode? | kevyalex (7334) | ||
| 674771 | 2008-06-02 02:13:00 | is usb boot enabled in bios if so try disabling it, your pc maybe trying to boot off what it believes to be a usb disk ( flash card interface) | beama (111) | ||
| 674772 | 2008-06-02 04:07:00 | Speedy, I had trouble seeing which key to press to get into BIOS as the choices disappear so quickly. Anyway i got into it today but what to do now. Do I select the BOOT tab and if so what do I do next. Thanks to others for their input. | bellbird (6169) | ||
| 674773 | 2008-06-02 04:14:00 | Make sure the hdd is the first boot device thats selected under the boot menu then save the bios settings. Then reboot | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
