keyboard commands don't work after boot from os cd
Need to reformat Dell Dimension 3100 HD. Have OS CD. After booting from CD, 3 options are: Set up W-XP - press enter, Repair W-XP - press R, Quit setup - press F3. At this point keyboard commands don't work. Any suggestions?

Use a PS2 Keyboard not a USB one.
The USB Drivers are not loaded and the Keyboard doesn't work at this stage.

USB controller was already on in BIOS. I finally solved problem by rebooting a few times with keyboard plugged into different ports. Thanks for your help.
