When I start my friends computer, scan disk begins to run because he doesn't know how to use a computer properly. Anyway, when scan disk gets to about 80%, it gets an error telling me that something was corrupted and to run scan disk in Windows. When I go to press enter to get passed the error, my keyboard doesn't respond. It's connected to a PS2 port on the mobo. So I bring out my USB keyboard, still no dice. I bring back the PS2 connected one and try to get into the BIOS, doesn't work. Strange, because when I tried to get into the bios with my USB keyboard, it worked. But for some reason it remains unresponsive when I get that scan disk error. So, I pop the Windows CD in hoping to reformat the drive. Unfortunatly, neither my USB or PS2 keyboard will respond, so I can't reformat the drive. I'm assuming that the PS2 port on my mobo is FUBAR, but why won't the USB work? Is there a way to skip scan disk during boot up (besides the "skip" button which, not suprisingly, doesn't respond to either keyboards input)? I might just have to break down and buy a new mobo and proc, but I really don't want to spend the extra money. I'd appreciate any help in troubleshooting this problem.
