Lots of errors and the like

[CDC Mail Guy]

Need to reinstall Windows XP Pro. Optical set at first to boot, and XP disk in the drive, but when I sttempt to push a button on the keyboard, it's not being recognized.

Keyboard is a usb, but I have tried other "regular" PS2 keyboards, and they don't work either.

Any help offered will be appreciated.

Edit...fixed

Do the lights on the keyboard come on? Have you tried to reset the cmos?

It was a very simple fix, and I am more than VERY embarrassed to say that I was plugging the KB into the wrong port! (Yes, I know they're color coded)

No lights were coming on on the USB KB, but once I figured out that I was an idiot, the PS2 KB worked fantastically.

Enable usb legacy support and the bios should work with the usb as well.
