    USB keyboard is not recognized while booting with windows 7 DVD,


    USB keyboard is not recognized while booting with windows 7 DVD,

    I wanted to format my machine by booting from Windows 7 DVD. At that moment, my USB keyboard is not recognized and I wasn’t able to press and character. As a workaround, I managed to plug a PS2 keyboard and it is recognized and worked fine!


    What settings in the BIOS might be related to this issue?


    Or is it a windows issue?

    Thank you

    Best

    i use a logitech wireless usb keyboard/mouse without problems. recently reinstalled windows on new pc with it too. bios on new pc has a 'legacy usb support' item that needs to be on (so did the old one). if not that, what make/model keyboard? if wireless are the batteries OK? i gather it's recognised when you enter the bios settings. is it an EHCI bios? they get a bit more tricky, but should have legacy settings.

    Many thanks for the help,

    The issue has been settled down at the BIOS level! And now as I boot, windows can recognize my USB keyboard

    I’ll be attaching the screenshot later

Hi, I connected a USB keyboard to my laptop and it is not recognized at all. The normal keyboard works fine but the external USB one doesn't. Any idea anyone? (I need this second keyboard for boring-to-tell reasons)
