Hello,

Thank for your mail , with F8 I want do a no failure start windows .

When I do defrag I have always some fragments files perhaps because some program run.

With F8 I have only the base of windows XP and I think defrag run well , OK ;

Best regards from Naoned .

Are you tapping F8 during boot ( not pressing and holding down) . . tap about twice a second

Sounds like you are wanting to start XP in the Safe Mode . . You should be able to do that by repeatedly tapping F8 during boot . . if that does nothing, you may have to change a setting in your BIOS to recognize legacy USB perhiperals . . that assumes you have a usb keyboard?
