Hi all,

I'm trying to format my 2 hard drives and install a fresh copy of windows for the arrival of my new hardware.

I have the ISO burned correctly on to a DVD and I've set BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD-RW only.

However when I get to the "Press any key" screen it will not respond to any key I press no matter what.

I've messed with every setting on the BIOS to do with the keyboard / USB 2.0 / 3.0 and plugged the USB into every port possible.

I'm still having no luck and I'm starting to pull my hair out! Please help! I've looked around forums and I've been told to use a PS/2 keyboard... But I don't have one and surely Asrock wouldn't create a motherboard that doesn't allow some USB keyboards to work during that screen?

Motherboard : ASROCK z77 Extreme 4
Keyboard : Roccat Arvo
