boot

Hello,

I recently did a full upgrade of windows 7 on my thinkpad, everything worked fine after up until the second reboot (the first reboot after some updates installed worked OK).

At second reboot time the system would just black screen just before the Windows logo appears, disk/wireless/power/battery lights are all lit and the disk light is active (flickering).

However, if I remove my battery and boot with just power it boots fine and quickly, and everything is OK.

Any help on why this wont boot with battery plugged in is greatly appreciated - i need to take this battery out on the road/trains etc....

Cheers Matt
