It doesn't do it if I have no other USB devices plugged in in addition to the USB thumb frive. However if its in the port replicator, with external mouse/keyboard I get a lot of device discovery prompts following the prompt for the password. Its only a nuisance for me, though when I built it off the port replicator then took it into the office and booted it the first time I thought I broke it and hard reset it. The next boot I was watching closely and saw the prompt go by. -- Thanks, Dean E. Weimer http://www.dweimer.net/
