Heres to a solution to a problem I've been pondering upon today when building my new PC running WinXP home- a boot error from POST after recovering it from an accidental power off during formating on the initial install.

@^#*# Input devices!

Played some CS on Xpcases.com servers and a little warcraft 3 in the morning.
