Ok, I was trying to make a floppy disk for networking today when I realized, lo and behold, my floppy drive wasn't even plugged in. So I plugged it back in (the floppy cable was attached). After that I rebooted, but my floppy was still in there. I don't know if this caused the problem or if plugging in my floppy while the computer was still on (probably not so smart) caused this, but now I get a checksum error - defaults loaded message and I can't even boot by pressing F1 or DEL as the comptuer instructs me. I can't press these because it doesn't recognize that my PS/2 keyboard is even attached! or at least i dont think it does because the NUM/CAPS lock keys don't light up when I press them.
I tried clearing the CMOS repeatedly, booting after unplugging the 3.5" drive, after removing the floppy cable, after removing the floppy disk, turning power off completely, using a USB keyboard. No luck.
My specs are:
XP Pro SP2 (all updates)
ABit AS-7
P4 Northwood 3.0 GHz HT 800 FSB (socket 478)
1 GB (2x 512 Corsair Value) PC3200
Western Digital SATA150 80GB 7200 RPM
Samsung CD-RW/DVD-ROM
Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
NVidia GeForce MX420 64MB
3.5" Floppy Drive
I think that's everything.
