Hi,

I am trying to format my C drive to wipe out ME and load XP for a clean
boot. Unfortunately, I ordered a copy of an OEM version (due to my
ignorance on what OEM version is..but now I know) and it is
non-returnable. It is my understanding that it will only load on a
clean boot.
I can't get to my bios or work with the start up disk because the start
up doesn't recognize the keyboard or mouse until the OS is loaded. Does
anyone know how to get around this? Any help would be appreciated,
thank you.

USB or PS2 keyboard and mouse? Options for either should be in BIOS so that
you can boot accordingly. (So that mouse and keyboard will work when
computer starts as opposed to waiting for OS.)

If the mouse and keyboard are wireless then you may have to find a PS2 or
USB to continue.
