    I did the semi restore method which was posted on these forums and I got my usb mouse working, but thats all that seems to work. And the wierd thing is it only works on the usb port furthest from the screen. I also have an external DVD writer which when I plug in it asks for the driver then says my hardware won't work properly. Aren't these drivers supposed to be included with XP? This writer works fine on my other xp machine but I don't remember if I had to install any extra drivers. I even tried to plug it in on the s400 slot but it gives the same error. Anyone have any ideas as to what drivers I might need to install? Also why the mouse only works on the one slot?
