The keyboard is enabled in the BIOS, and works until windows fully loads to the welcome screen, and then I saw the hub deactivate. I had to plug in a PS/2 keyboard, and then break out of the hibernation, to a fresh boot. When Windows came up, it found all my USB devices, and all was well with the world! Now all I have to do is figure out my ground loop/altenator whine issues.
Good, the next thing I was going to tell you to try was to recover windows...might wanna run a scandisk on that drive. Boot sectors don't just disappear for no reason.
