Wonder if you could make a USB drive or something like that load a PXE image on them and boot a non-windows os.. Looks to me like something to play with and see if it can be used as a crack tool.. -Denis On Sat, 22 Nov 2003, Irwan Hadi wrote:

Obviously its timing out after said time but im wondering what the hell makes the dell bios think it can boot off the printer, my only assumption would be the smart card reader. Wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this and if so could give a little more insite. I dont see anything short of a bios upgrade from dell fixing this, as of now i just have the customer unplugging the printer upon reboots as a temp workaround.I think at that time I resolved it by turning off support for legacy USB applications on the BIOS, or something like that. Just go to the BIOS, and check the settings for the USB. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
