As the title says, my computer when i first turn it on, loads the BIOS then halfway down it says:

Auto-detecting USB Mass Storage Devices
Device #01

And it just hangs on for what feels like forever until finally Windows XP loads (usually hangs on from 2 mins to sometimes 5!)

Would appreciate ANY help on the matter!!

Thanks!!

What like a USB stick or something? Or something like a mouse, joystick etc?

A USB mass storage device is something like a memory stick, external hard drive, iPod...

Basically anything that can store data.

As far as I know, a USB mass storage device was not plugged in at the time of boot up. I do have a USB memory stick which I use from time to time, but I don't have it plugged in during start-up.

Thanks

Try disabling the detection of such devices in the BIOS.

USB mass storage devices are not needed for 99% of boot setups anyway.
