I received a new “corporate” Toshiba M200 laptop a few weeks ago as a lease replacement of my old “corporate” Dell C400. On 8/23/2004, I finally got around to installing software for my “corporate” Brother 3100C MFC. The install went fine, but of course it annoyingly requires a reboot for the software and driver to be fully active. Reminding me of Windows 95, XP hangs when trying to shutdown (which I have become accustomed to). So, I power off the laptop manually (as usual). When I start up again, XP abruptly comes to the “Windows XP startup was interrupted…” menu, with several starting options. No matter which one I pick, a BSOD blips for a split second and the machine immediately reboots. After BSODing for ten minutes, I figure out the BSOD says something like ‘registry failure’. Great. Since the Toshiba M200 does not have any other built-in device to boot off of (unless there is a way to boot off of an SD (which there probably is)), I was SOL. So I schlepped my brand-new dead M200 back to the “corporate” laptop dept. via FedEx for them to fix. If I could’ve gotten away with it, I just would have loaded Red Hat on it and life would be good. Maybe next time.
