I have always thought this was a bios issue - you can tell your
computer where to look as it gets ready to boot so that, in the
event of a hard disk failure, you can look somewhere else for a
system. In my case, I foolishly set that option to look at my CD
and my USB, and so, with some USB disk units, I have to
disconnect them.

My experience with many USB devices causing XP not to boot
properly has more
to do with the devices' level of USB. By and large, if I have a
USB 1.1
device connected (my USB 1.1 hub, for example), XP won't boot.

No, Windows XP is funny about stuff like that. My card reader
can prevent
Windows from starting if I fail to disconnect it before rebooting
my
computer. This is a common problem.
