HiiWhen i start the computer the keyboard doesn't get detected in the bios it says keyboard was not detectedpress f1 to continue (i cant press f1 obviously)so the keyboard starts to work only after the windows loading screen but before it it doesn't so i cant re-install xp as i need to hit anykey to boot the cd which the keyboard ain't working. I was thinking if i clear the cmos would the bios pick the keyboard because if i do i need to to hit f1 after i turn computer on and load defualt cmos setting but if the keyboard doesn't work ill be STUCK. So would i be stuck or not it will work? because my computer works after loading screen so i don't want to totally screw things up. thnx
IF hte keyboard is a USB keyboard, then it probably won't work. The keyboards that BIOS will pick up are always always always in my experience - PS/2 keyboards. I used a USB to PS/2 device to make the computer pick up the keyboard. Other than that, try another keyboard? A bent pin could always be the thing to blame :x
