USB keyboards on boot up...

[pookguy88]

i just got the MS Natural Keyboard Pro, and it is USB connection only. It works fine in windows, but i can't seem to use it outside of windows anymore... like I can't push the delete key at the beginning to get into the bios...
anyway to fix this??

Get your old PS/2 keyboard and get into BIOS support. Enable USB Legacy support or similar for full control.

Sometimes also called USB DOS function in different BIOS types.

Some BIOSes are even so clear as to call it "USB keyboard" with choices Enabled and Disabled. On a side note, I didn't know that the Natural Pro came in a USB-only incarnation. Mine has a splitter of sorts on the end of the cable and forms both connections.
