Thanks a million:) If it solves that particular problem - I will write back here to help others. Thanks GAOTD for providing Post-Offer advice, we do follow Softwares and Comments (#99) - Hi, How kind of You to spot my problem in a "sea" of Comments! I run XP Pro (SP2) and indeed there are 3 usb devices plugged in at booting (mouse, keyboard and my big drive - Seagate FreeAgent, here reason being that lots of Programs of startup are installed there? Funnily enough it's like being "married" to a perfect stranger, you loose track of what's what, what's important, lol, but here in my case OS is only on C, so apart from perhaps CD Drive/Floppy? - other none-OS drives should not even be "taken to account" at booting? How stupid these Windows are at times., and yet I will still not switch to Mac, so - doggy life for Windowers!:) Here - opportunity arose from ASC being proposed. That's the only reason I had explained at such great length (sorry) my own circumstances, we all learn from one another. If it doesn't work, keyboard will have to be plugged in first - otherwise I will not be able to even choose the OS drive.? Perhaps I will take Your advice and see if usb devices (especially big Drive?) have something to do with this mystery. Surely that wasn't IT(?!), problem remains. I have no idea what had changed, but just in case it was that Zentimo - I stopped it from starting with Windows and restored all "powers" back to Windows. I have been using for quite a while Zentimo Disk Manager, from GAOTD by the way, (optimized for "safe removal" of devices and taking that task from "normal" Window's one: "Safely Remove Hardware", that's all) and with everything plugged in at booting - there was NO problem.
