Lost Local Keyboard and mouse - Help!

[Mark Jurras]

Here is the boot.ini file. as you can see the VGA mode has the /sos switch which allows 'safe
mode'. Unfortunatly the mouse and keyboard do not respond in this mode either. But do respond
before NT loads? Now I can't get into the machine.

[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00" 
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode]"
/basevideo /sos
