Question : XP Safe Mode Boot Hangs on hpdskflt.sys

XP Pro installed on an HP 6910p.  hpdskflt.sys is a driver for the onboard mobile data protection sensor.  The O/S has been installed from an image from Altiris Recovery Solution.  I'd like to know if there is a way i can prevent this driver from being loaded at boot so I can bypass the issue.  The functionality of the sensor is not important at this time.

Answer : XP Safe Mode Boot Hangs on hpdskflt.sys

If possible, try getting to the XP recovery console with the XP CD. Once inside the console, go to the Windows root folder. Then type listsvc to make sure that hpdskflt.sys is on the list. Finally type disable hpdskflt.sys or just disable hpdskflt.
