USB keyboard? Those need to be enabled in BIOS.

Enable USB Legacy Emulation and set the Keyboard to BIOS control in Integrated Peripherals.

i have the "Pheonix AwardBIOS CMOS..."

my keyboard cant do any of the F_ keys anywhere even in BIOS!

is this because it is USB?

i have a PS/2 keyboard should i try it out?

do i need to turn anything on or off/switch in bios to get her to work?

this is getting very frusteration i wish she would work for me!

I woulod try the PS/2 keyboard first just to verify that the other keyboard is the problem.
Even if it is the problem, once you get XP installed with the PS/2 keyboard you should be able to switch over to the USB one.

I had the same problems with a USB mouse with my NF7-S. it would not boot and the when it did, the keyborad and mouse would not work and had to restart every time. Not fun trying to run windows update. There is a bios update at the Abit site. I'll post alink in a bit.

**edit** oh yea, don't use the windows one click update ultility, flash from a floppy. I learned that from a bad flash and the computer would not reboot.

Ditto. The BIOS is easy Dav, eventually you'll get used to the better layout.

well i wont be able to stay awake at work, but i finally got it to go. It had to do with the USB settings in bios, but i swear i had already worked through that like 15 dif times....then all of a sudden it worked the one time *rolls eyes*. But oh well, the OS is loading now

Thanx for the help guys.

there is a F-LOCK key on logitech usb keyboards. took me a while to find it. i had the same problem as you! the key is in the top left of the keyboard! an it says F_LOCK right under it

try it out! an that will let you play with the F keys in bios
