Booting problem - Toshiba Netbook NB200
I don't know much about these machines, but I wonder if its got some problem
with memory that gets corrupted when it reboots?
Is there any way on these machines to get into a bios or boot menu?

We have a little net book, running XP, and it is a lovely little machine
for browsing the web, reading mail etc. Works perfectly except when
rebooted, which I only do after MS updates.
When shut down, for any reason, it will not restart until the battery has
run down, and I mean completely flat. Every little volt. Removing the
battery does not help - the battery has to be in place, but completely
expired, which normally takes a couple of days. Then, with the charger
plugged in, it will boot normally and run perfectly, either from battery
or mains until the next upgrade/shut down.
The battery itself seems to be OK - it will run the machine for several
hours, which is all it managed when the machine was new a couple of years
ago.
Any thoughts?
