AL I've been following this thread for several days and I haven't seen any mention of keyboard type. If you are using a USB keyboard BIOS has to be setup to recognize it. Just connect oem Kboard OS/2 or serial--boot to BIOS--set BIOS to recognize Kboard in BIOS, NOT Windows---set drive sequence and it should be ok. After doing this just change Kboard to USB.
