problems will generally be inherited by the upgrade anyway. <br><br> I might suggest that if during this process (whatever it actually is), if you are using any USB Dongles that support wireless devices (keyboards, mice, network adapters, etc.,) either Bluetooth, IR or RF you remove them from the equation and only use wired devices (mouse, keyboard and monitor).
