kinkster Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Title pretty much says it all. Also i havent installed XP yet, so I cant fix it from there. Im trying to change the boot device from HDD to CD. So i press F12 (keyboard works at that point) then go in and i get no power or anything to the keyboard. Pluged it in to differnt ports etc..

Dermatea Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Have you tried swapping keyboards? Maybe your Apple USB keyboard is slightly faulty. If it's just changing a couple of settings in BIOS, I think any keyboard will do. It could be some sort of obscure USB recognition error, in which case using a PS/2 keyboard might clear things up. Then again, do you have a PS/2 port on your computer? Most, if not all normal PCs have two or one PS/2 ports, but I'm not too sure about Macs, cuz' I read somewhere that they only have USB ports, but I might have misread.

~pcwiz Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Yeah macs only have USB I believe, but by his reference to "BIOS" I think he's talking about a hackint0sh.
