    Hi,

    I just got a usb keyboard and noticed a bit of a probelm...I have a XP/Win7 dual boot but when trying to change the boot option the keyboard is not working. I am guessing that the USB port is not active until windows has loaded. can anyone confirm or deny this?

    It's a bit of an issue really, how can I change the boot setup if the keyboard is not active...anyone know of a fix for this?

    Thanks

    you can enable legacy usb in your bios. Enable that and you'll be able to use your keyboard during boot.

    to do this, just as you power on your pc, hit the specified key to get into the bios (this is more than likely , "F2" [if it's a dell] or "delete" or "F1" )

    navigate the bios menu looking for "Legacy USB" and enable it.
