| 674117 | 2008-05-31 04:08:00 | Fully Correct :thumbs: F8 Will take you into a screen that allows you to boot into different modes as well as other operations (wont go there at the Moment) - All I was wanting to do is see if the Keyboard is working or not. So now lets start from the beginning - Blow away the whole partition, then load in the windows CD and reinstall the OS. Make sure the keyboard is working first of course. WARNING: This will completely wipe your drive,MAKE SURE every thing you want to keep is saved to removable media first - To remove the partition, format what ever ;) download the CD version of partitionLogic (partitionlogic.org.uk) - its a zipped ISO file, so you will need to unzip the file to a folder on your PC, use your ISO section of your CD writing program or download ImageBurn (www.imgburn.com/) - burn the image of Partition Logic to a CD, boot from this CD ( no keyboard input required) - Select your drive - then down the bottom left Click on DELETE (http:) - you will get a warning, agree, then click Write Changes (bottom Right) in less time than it takes to say OH SH*T :eek: the drive in now completely empty, reboot with the windows XP CD, and install. Dont use the Format option, while this will format the drive I find it is better to completely blow the partition. |

| 674118 | 2008-05-31 04:25:00 | In your BIOS under Integrated Peripherals check OnChip USB Controller is Enabled, USB Keyboard Support Enabled, it should see your USB Keyboard then. According to the Manual for your board: USB Keyboard Support Allows USB keyboard to be used in MS-DOS. (Default: Disabled) USB Mouse Support Allows USB mouse to be used in MS-DOS. (Default: Disabled) |

| 674119 | 2008-05-31 05:53:00 | This sounds like a pretty bad Virus, but I'm sure there is some way to get rid of it... I think the best thing that you can do after fixing your PC is the just have one account with a pass :P That should stop anyone downloading viruses. P.S I hope you manage to format it :) (Although I'm convinced that its a keyboard prob.) |

| 674120 | 2008-05-31 22:56:00 | --- ISSUE RESOLVED --- Thanks to all who helped. It was a silly error that I should have thought of, but thanks to all of you I managed to format it. The problem was that USB keyboard was disabled in BIOS. Currently i am reloading XP on it (i'm on my laptop atm) with success. Thank you all very much. P.S - Yes Spartan, the virus was one of the most malicious ones i've ever had. Beware :) |
