[QUOTE="sirius, post: 441370, member: 258"] My works computer died on monday, and in my amazement they got me a new one, repaired mine and replaced somebody elses in the office. All was going great, it arrived at about 3.00 yesterday afternoon, a Dell 8400 base unit, p4 HT, 1gb ram and x300 graphics. I installed two CAD programs, set my desktop up, set the classic start menu etc in the Windows XP Pro to get it more comfy. I installed a BIG A0 format HP designjet 500 printer to the USB port, did a test print, all fine. Went home. Came in this morning to install my HP1220c colour A3 printer.......reads the sticker top of the printer, and it warns you that you need to install the CD first, before connecting any cables (serial or usb). So, I put the disc in, installed the printer, attached another USB cabl to the A3 printer. The CD thing hangs, but it tells me its installed the printer. Ctrl&delete out of the hanged program. "system must now be restarted for changes to take effect" or similar.........reboots the computer, and it doesnt start again!!!!!. First it was looping the boot sequence over and over, then, it just went to a flashing cursor. My boss called the computer guy in who supplied the PC, and tried some recover tools in XP CD bootup. Tried a fixmbr, chkdsk/recover, etc.....and nothing would work. He says Ive destroyed the vital part of the hard disk, and has now taken it away to redo it all from scratch.... Is this feasable? Installing a HP printer totally wrecks the machine? Its brand new, and I feel guilty lol. [I]Can you put two printers on the same machine using USB? Is thats whats fried it????[/I] Cheers if anyone puts my mind at rest..... Sirius. [/QUOTE]
