I have a dell demension 3100 and it only has usb ports for all inputs. no os2 for keyboard and mouse. when starting i get a keyboard error press F1 or F2 but because of the unservisable USB port it does not reconize my keyboard.
'
Is there any way to input the F1 code?

that machine has eight different usb ports, afaik.

I think you mean PS/2, not OS/2 ports....

It's rare that all the usb ports would fail.

Right click Computer > Hardware > Device Manager > USB Controller and look for the ominous warning sign. Error codes are published by microsoft:

This link is for Windows XP. If you are using a pre-XP Windows OS, search the Microsoft website for the Device Mgr Error Codes for that OS.

Hope this helps.

The F2 prompt indicates that the keyboard has initialized.
