I just went through al seven (4 x 2.0, 3 x 3.0) ports again. Still nothing. I keep wondering if it's the SSD being corrupted that's the problem, but even if that was the case, shouldn't the motherboard still let me into the BIOS?

Update: No, I've tried every port on the rig and still nothing. What I did find was that my board support USB BIOS Flashback, which allows you to reset the BIOS with just a USB key. I went through the steps for that and the BIOS notably changed; the font is a lot smaller now when I boot the...

Yes, both keyboards are USB. So I need to buy a USB-PS/2 port connector? I just checked and I'm not sure my mobo even has a PS/2 input slot.

Alright, so I installed Windows 10 this morning, and when I was choosing what to keep from my old W7 OS, the only option open to me was "nothing", so I had to go ahead. I backed up everything using Paragon Restore, then upgraded. When I got into Windows 10, I wanted my USER folder back, so I...

Yup. Tied F2, F12 and DEL; none of them work. There's a BIOS button on my mobo that I tried holding down/pressing during startup and that doesn't seem to work either. I also tried two different keyboards, plugged directly into the board. I don't see how it could be an issue with the hardware. I...

I would, but since I can't enter the BIOS, it doesn't matter much.

This is a long, dumb story. Stay with me. I installed Windows 10 on my Windows 7 machine today after backing it up using Paragon. When I began the installation, the only option I had was a fresh install (IE: my user folder and documents were deleted), so I took it. When I got into Windows 10, I...

...And now I just feel stupid. Oops. I swear to Christ I'm not a luddite; I built my rig personally! Alright then, follow-up question: I was planning on switching ISP's from Bell Canada to Teksavvy (a more independent, consumer-friendly ISP), where the two choices for internet are DSL and...

I just moved to a new home that seems to only have DSL ports in the walls, and the existing owner's modem is hooked up using the same cable. I'm used to only being in a house with ethernet ports and not just DSL, so I ordered a DSL-Ethernet adapter off Amazon that arrived today. I plugged it...

Thanks for the replies, I now know that the problem is the format of the hard drive. I was using it as a Time Machine backup system for my Mac, so that might explain why Windows can't read it. However, the hard drive is 2TB, and it's almost full, whereas my Mac has a 750GB hard drive, so I...

I just built my new computer and I need to transfer all the files from my mac laptop to it, off my external hard drive. When I plug it in, there's the sound that Windows knows something was plugged in, but it can't detect the hard drive. If I plug it into my mac, it's recognized and works just...
