Enabling USB during boot...

I'm trying to format my hard disk and re-install Windows, but I can't get the system to boot from the CD drive. My USB keyboard does not seem to respond to input during bootup, and I need to 'press any key to boot from CD ROM' after having set the boot priority in BIOS.

Does anyone know how to enable USB support during this phase, or otherwise how to force the system to boot from the CD without waiting for my input? In the past I've always used my brother's older PS2 keyboard, but I'm not at college now, so I can't.

The motherboard is a vanilla Abit IC7.

Thanks.
 
there should be a bios setting something along the lines of "USB Keyboard Support" with the options being "Bios" or "OS" or something similar

just choose bios and it should work
 
might be called something like keyboard emulation, or legacy keyboard, or ps2 emulation.
