possible you blew a fuse or circuit but will still show up as working in windows. do you have or can get a hd to load just windows on without any service packs to see if it is a hardware or software issue.

so what about a spare drive? do you have or can get an usb keyboard as an experiment to see if can possibly work in the bios but make certain usb keyboard & mouse enabled on dos side before trying usb keyboard.

Have a go at re-soldering the cut wire to the frontal USB's,failing that add another card if you have a spare slot

you know what, guys - i am planning to make another partition to install Vista, so i would see if it's software or hardware...
if it's not gonna work after clean install then it's hardware, and i am not gonna do anything about it, since i would be upgrading in october.
thanks for help!
i can reply to this thread when i would install vista, if you guys want

well... i just messed the whole computer up!
freaking PartitionMagic
ok, so what happened was - it rebooted and gave error on 33% like it did also 2 months ago... i wasn't scared because 2 months ago - even though it had an error - everything worked magically fine..
in this case..... BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH....
and what the hell am i supposed to do if i have biology paper due tomorrow and humanities paper due to next week and i have all my materials on that computer.
and of course like last time and i didn;t do backup... so i am screwed
any ideas how can i revive my computer?
