If he reset the bios to default and if you have a USB keyboard, the bios may
now be set not to detect the USB keyboard properly. Did he make note of what
the settings in the bios were before he made a radical change to them?

Also, setting the bios back to the defaults is not necessarily the correct
settings for XP. You may need to go over all the settings, not just the USB
related ones, to make sure everything is set properly.
