usb or ps2 keyboard ? might need to be enabled in BIOS

If you want to use a USB keyboard to access Windows command prompt options, make changes in the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System), or to operate legacy operating systems, you must enable support for the device inside the BIOS.

Shut down the computer and disconnect the USB keyboard. Connect a PS/2 keyboard to the PS/2 connector port on the rear of the computer. Turn on the computer and press the "Delete" key several times as soon as you see the initial boot or company logo screen. Wait for the main BIOS setup screen to appear. Press the right or left arrow keys to move the cursor to the "Advanced" or "Advanced Settings" menu option. Press the "Enter" key. Move the cursor to the "Integrated Peripherals" or "Peripheral Configuration" menu option. Press the "Enter" key. Press the down-arrow key to navigate to the "USB Controllers" option. Press the "+" or "-" key to change the menu option to "Enabled." Move the cursor to the "USB Legacy Support" or "USB Legacy Function" field. Press the "+" key repeatedly until the value option changes to "Enabled." Press the "F10" key to save changes to the BIOS settings and exit the setup utility. Wait until the computer begins to restart and then press the power button and hold it for approximately four or five seconds. The computer shuts down completely. Unplug the PS/2 keyboard from the computer and set it aside. Reconnect the USB keyboard restart the computer. As soon as you see the initial boot screen, tap the "Delete" key several times and wait for the BIOS setup screen to appear. If you are able to access the BIOS setup screen with the USB keyboard, USB support is active in the BIOS.

USB thumb drives give you the ability to mobilize information, but they also have the power to act as a boot disk for both Windows and Mac computers. If you have a bootable thumb drive that you want to boot your computer from, you can easily set it up in the BIOS menu of your Windows computer or through the boot menu in Mac's OSX.

Plug your USB thumb drive into the computer. Boot the computer and follow the on-screen prompt to enter the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) menu. You should "Press a certain key Usually the DEL or the F2 key to enter BIOS setup" or something similar when you turn your computer on. Follow the directions to enter the BIOS menu. Scroll over to the "Boot" menu in the BIOS screen. Change the primary boot device to USB port or something similar depending on your BIOS menu. Restart the computer with the USB thumb drive in the USB port. b> Mac b> Plug your USB drive into your Mac's USB port. Turn on the computer while holding down the "Option" button on your keyboard. Wait for the boot menu to appear with all of your bootable devices shown. Use the mouse to select your USB thumb drive from the boot menu. Wait for the computer to boot using your thumb drive. Hope this helps.

1. Insert the restore disk into your computer's DVD/CD drive. Prior login to your user account is not required.

2.Reboot your computer. Watch the boot screens and wait for the onscreen prompt to press any key. If you do not get a prompt, reboot your computer once more and skip to step four.

3.Press any key to boot from CD when prompted to do so. You will now be taken to the first screen in the restore process. Follow the onscreen prompts to finish restoring your machine.

4.Change your BIOS settings, if necessary, to boot from your CD drive first. Common options for entering the BIOS include pressing "ESC," "DEL" or "F12" on your computer's first boot screen. If you don't know how to get to the BIOS, check your computer's documentation for instructions. Once inside the BIOS, set the primary boot to CD-ROM and save your changes. Exit the BIOS and wait as your computer reboots and begins the restore process.

To open the BIOS Setup screen:

1. Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
2. Turn on the computer.
3. When the first screen displays, immediately press the F10 key if your computer was built in 2006 or later (came with Vista or Windows 7). Press the F1 key if your computer was built before 2006 (XP or earlier). Press the key once every second until a BIOS Setup utility screen opens.
4. Use the keyboard to move through the menus.

Hi Colin,

Thank you for providing a good amount of detail, we experts really appreciate the detail as it helps us help you.

First you need to identify the BIOS select button. This usually displays if only for a second as the PC fires up. If you can see it onscreen it will say something like Press F1 for Setup, or Press ESC for BIOS. Look for that and then press the key. If you don't see it you may have to make several attempts, all while the PATA drive is connected.

IF you don't see any options try using ESC or Tab to clear the PB splash screen and see the writing. If you have no luck spotting it don't feel bad, they have a window of opportunity between 0 and 3 seconds on most PCs.

Try mashing repeatedly on the F1 key on boot up until you see the boot error or a BIOS screen. If you have the boot error, power the machine off and repeat the process trying ESC, F2, Del, F10, F11 on successive boots until you find the right one.

Then once in BIOS you will have to browse around a bit and find the Boot Order selection, move the PATA drive to the last position, Save the changes then Exit BIOS. This will allow the factory disk to boot the machine and see the PATA drive as a secondary Master drive. Unfortunately HP/PB tends to leave the default BIOS setting in place which favours the older drive as a primary boot device and because you had an operating system on it, th PC knows it's bootable and attempts to boot.

Once you remedy the Boot Order all should go smashingly.

Let me know if you have any further troubles.

Try to change the boot order to boot to usb or floppy and try to flash the bios.

There are several ways to access the BIOS. Usually the Delete key at boot up (just hit it repeatedly when you start seeing stuff) or the F1 key is also a popular method of accessing BIOS. Another option on things like HP is to hit the "F10" or "F12" key. One of these should work for you. Don't wait until you see the Windows "Splash" screen or you've waited too long. Sometimes you may have to wait for it to boot up and then restart, especially if you have a CRT monitor instead of an LCD as it can take awhile for a CRT to "warm up" and start displaying.
