rmsuperstar99 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I have been having trouble using keyboard under the BIOS emulation, ever since I got my 2G MBP 1 year ago. Some of the issues where I have found this can be a problem: Reinstalling Windows/Recovery Console/Upgrade Windows - "Press Any Key to Boot From CD [or DVD].." does not accept keyboard entry, therefore, it is extremely difficult to get into setup. Booting Windows 2008 RC1 x64 DVD causes an odd (unfinished) boot menu, which requires that "1" be pressed. Safe Mode/NTLDR using ISOLINUX/SYSLINUX Oddly, the "EFI Console" that can be opened from rEFIt, never takes keyboard entry Actually Booting MS-DOS (just kidding, only for a laugh! ) I have found that doing some random button mashing has gotten the keyboard I was wondering if any other people were having problems with this, or if my MBP is broken, and if anyone has found a solution. I like the computer, and this is the only issue I have had any trouble with, (other than some minor battery issues - cleared the PRAM is all good.) -Rmsuperstar99 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84375-press-any-key-to-boot-from-cd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyhighmac Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 BIOS emultation. Maybe your mbp hasen't loaded everything before windows starts up. Try using a usb keyboard.
