It sounds like your BIOS is not supporting legacy usb devices. Boot to your BIOS setup page and look for an option that says something like Enable Legacy USB Devices. That is what is needed to make a USB keyboard work at that early stage of the boot process. If you have a quite old BIOS then it may not have support for USB yet. When USB interfaces were first added to motherboards it took a while for the BIOS to catch up and support them. In which case an update to the BIOS may be needed. But hopefully you will simply find the legacy USB option to enable in your BIOS and then it will work. Bob
