that's a strange one.. Check your floppy cable. Do you get any errors on the initial bios boot screen?

sorry, i looked around but figured that this was the most correct forum to post at. my case is different; before i installed my via sata raid card, i could always boot into bios but now it is like my keyboard isn't even on when i startup. i cant hit any keys at all. is there a way to boot from windows at all? i think this is the only way that i am going to be able to do it. thanx a bunch.
