dban and my keyboard

I'm having trouble trying to use DBan on this one computer. When I get to the main menu for dban, all of a sudden, it stops recognizing my keyboard.

I noticed that my little num lock light on my keyboard goes out and I'm stuck on the main menu and I can't get anywhere. Has anyone heard of this? I also tried it again with other keyboards to make sure it wasn't the one board, and I used both USB and PS2 keyboards to make sure and wasn't able to make any headway.

I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do for this system and any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Make a new dban disk.

I usually just use the UltimateBootCD.

The ultimatebootcd has dban and other utilities on it.

You could try to zero fill with a different program. killdisk is faster, but only cause it does 1 pass.
