Default Win boot help

Hi all

What is the key or key combo to bring up the option to choose what drivers
you want loaded in the start up of win xp home at the command prompt?

The normal safe boot option isnt good enough im getting freezes during boot
from a transplant of a harddrive with xp.

Thanks
GK

Do you have any important files on your hard drive? Do you have a
separate copy of those files, on removable media like DVDs or flash
drives?

No key combo there. At *install* - F6 w/ a floppy in the drive
containing drivers is what you are referring to.
