thewaynePLEASE keep a wired keyboard and mouse around!
I'm currently trying to fix multiple infections on my dad's computer, and in doing so, I want to boot into Safe Mode. One big problem -- wireless keyboard and mouse. The driver for said devices doesn't load until Windows is well into its startup. So you can't flip the computer into safe mode without a wired keyboard!
PITB, but keep the junkie keyboard that came with your computer around, just in case.

Trouble is, the USB keyboard and mouse aren't recognised at all! :)
So while it boots from the CD fine, I cant select the bloody option to install it!
