Keyboard and mouse dosen't work in startup repair

[Red9912]

Hello, I have tried to format my computer and when I put the CD and restarted the PC I got up the "Press Any Key to Boot from CD or DVD" my keyboard and mouse did not work so i couldn't click on any key. I could not even use keyboards to enter the bios. It was also so the computer went into startup repair, and then I could not press anything, i was stuck in the startup repair screen. btw im using windows 7.

Can anyone help me?

When you get to startup repair try plugging off your mouse and keyboard and plugging them in again. That helped me.

Have you tried using all USB ports, front and back? When I switched to those in the back my computer recognized my keyboard and mouse.

Yes i tried that and even tried using a ps/2 adapter and still didn't work. But when i used the ps/2 adapter my keyboard's lights was on but it still didn't work :/

If you cant enter BIOS you can always try removing CMOS battery from your motherboard, wait 5 mins and putting it back in. That way your BIOS will go back to default settings and then the USB ports in the back should work.

You should always unplug computer from power and make sure you're grounded when doing stuff like that.
