Need urgent help!!! USB keyboard + windows re-install

[aakerman]

The bios asks: "Do you want to boot from cd-rom? press any key"

YES I want to boot, because I have wiped my hard drive and need to re-install windows... the problem is the keyboard is connected via USB and does not react to any keypresses! So I can't do anything, just sit there watching it count down.. then it tries to boot on the empty drive and says "NTLDR MISSING, Ctrl alt del to restart" which of course doesn't work either.

What can I do, save go out and buy a keyboard adapter.. (

specs:
nforce ultra2 400 mobo
logi internet elite ( ii think) keyboard
barton 2800

Turn on legacy USB support in bios.

 

[aakerman]

Good idea.

One problem with that though: I can't get into the bios .. keyboard doesn't work

 

[imported_Tick]

Just wow.

You have no other keyboards?

 

[aakerman]

Nope
But now I went through my drawers and discovered an old USB->PS2 adapter, so no worries.
I've had this problem before, and solved it by rebooting right when the computer was entering windows - then it automatically enters the BIOS upon reboot. But couldn't do it this time as windows wasn't installed =)

Yey.
