No Keyboard Power When Dos Switches To Os

[djrythmn]

OK I a bit of a noob

Here's the problem - I upgraded my bios that botched my comp so esupport sent me a new chip. once installed and after changing my clock settings. my comp would boot all the way to my windows admin screen. how ever my usb Mouse(LOGITECH) and Keyboard(Microsoft digital media pro) don't work (as in all lights go out) Now this only happens when my comp is switching from Dos to OS. I can use my keyboard in dos so I know it's not the connections.

In the bios the usb 2.0 is enabled to DOS as well as keyboard .
I don't have a USB LEGACY SETTING!

I have a Frankenstien Comp I had built specifically for music editing in 2000


abit IT7 motherboard
htp374 Raid ata/133
pentium 4 2.4 GHZ
clocked at 2400(133)
2 maxtor 125g 7600rpm drives
I have 6 USB Ports and no Serial Ports
OS - Windows xp home edition service pack 2

I am currently at an internet cafe so I can only check this about once or twice a day. ANY Answers would be helpful

I tried to do windows repair from the cd (xp home edition). also but now it says it can't find my hard disks.
I tried to get the drivers for the ata133 raid mother board but the windows setup says it can't find "Txtsetup.oem"

Please help

If you have a PS/2 keyboard port, use a PS/2 keyboard.

ok I only have a usb keyboard and mouse no serial ports on the comp.
now I think the prob is different. I got my Winodow xp cd -I was gonna try windows repair I loaded the drivers for my raid and went to hit repair but now It says it can't detect my hard disk

So I'm really thinkg my prob is lying there

any suggestions?


Thanks

PS/2, not serial - you don't have those either?

[djrythmn]

I downloaded the manual for the ABIT IT7 mother board and everything is seated right.
and I only have the 4 usb ports and 2 usb/lan ports.

OOMG I wanna through this thing out the window but I've got way too much into it


i don't know what else to check

or why the windows set up does'nt show my hard drives

[glc]

Boot it up with Powermax - does it see the drives? If so, run diagnostics.

[djrythmn]

Ok did the power max my drives passed all the tests. ... The is too weird .. I am really stuck.
Some one please help!

it's just the windows xp disk thats not detecting the drives but everything else sees them.
is there any way to get past this prob?

thx

As glc has asked, you must have PS2 keyboard and mouse sockets on that board, can you borrow or buy a cheap PS2 mouse and keyboard combo?

[glc]

The IT7 does in fact have PS/2 ports, I just researched it. However, more and more new boards and computers are getting rid of them.

If you loaded the RAID drivers with a floppy and the drives aren't seen, there's a problem with the RAID somewhere. Can you get into the HPT bios settings? Is the HPT controller even enabled in the system bios?
