Motherboard : G31T-M7 ( i know its old)
CPU : Core 2Duo E8400
OS : Win 7 64-bit
Keyboard/Mouse : Zeus M-710


My friend give me his spare unit ( I need to reformat it cause of hdd -new- always redirect me to startup repair ) . The thing is, I cant boot via usb. I figured it's because it's not enabled in the bios. But I can't enable it because the keyboard is not working. Any help and advice you can give me? I appreciate it.

You can buy a cheap USB Female to PS/2 Male adapter plug.

I actually think of that but as of now I don't have ps/2 mouse and keyboard. Can you give me more advice?


Update: I can get inside the bios now using the front usb panel, but the thing is, when I go into the boot sequence, I can't see boot via usb. The only options is:

*Boot via hdd
*Boot via floppy disk ( idk what is this. Please enlightened me)
*Boot via CD/DVD ( I can actually use this but I don't have a DVDr and a CD, but I can borrow one)


Another problem : rear usb panel is not working. So I can't use keyboard/mouse/usb at the same time. What could possibly the problem in here?

You must be too young to remember when all PC's had a Floppy Drive. On many computers if you set the floppy disk first in the boot sequence, but had no floppy drive connected, the computer would boot from USB instead. You could try it.
