Dell Bios access

[redking3]

The F2 key will not work to access the bios on a Dell E520. The post message shows an error message as failed keyboard yet the keyboard works when finished booting. Need to change bios to accept 500GB hard disk.

borrow another keyboard from a neighbour.

Use a PS2 keyboard and enable USB keyboard support.

I Did use a second keyboard. No luck. It seems that only one USB port is available at boot & I haven't found out which one yet.
Therefore the F2 key does not work soon enough. Dell is not forthcoming in finding the answer in an easy way.
To Mrlinux there is no PS2 port and I can't enable anyway without going into Bios.
Thanks guys.
