Ok...
I previously had a MSI K8N Neo4-F, but I just replaced it with a DFI LanParty UT nf4 SLI-DR Expert.
I got everything working and stuff, and I want to reinstall my Windows X64.
I put the CD in the master Optical Drive.
I go into the BIOS and I set the settings to this:
First Boot Device: CDROM
Second Boot Device: Disabled
Third Boot Device: Disabled
Boot Other Device: Disabled
Swap Floppy Drive: Disabled
etc...
I save and exit the BIOS
It boots and what not... It says:
"Press any key to boot from CD"
I press enter
BUT
It goes to the page where it's asking me if I want to boot up:
Windows X64 Professional
Windows XP Home
(I previously had XP Home on the hard drive I am using)
Here's the problem... My keyboard does NOT work. It won't recognize me pressing enter or f8 or anything.
Then it loads the windows thing after the 30 second timer runs out.
And it says Windows is experiencing problems or something during the launch/boot
It says whether I wanna boot into Safe Mode, etc.
But it has a timer as well and says if I don't choose anything, it will boot normally. Sadly, my keyboard doesn't work during this. Consequently, it boots normally and fails to boot.
I'm not quite sure what to do...
All advice is greatly appreciated!!!
PS- The Windows CD is not scratched in any way.
