I recently got a graphics card and I thought I might reset my hardrive before I installed it. After resetting my hardrive and booting into windows my mouse and keyboard do not work. I can't select my timezone or amswer any questions to setup my Windows.

My mouse and keyboard work fine in BIOs and work halfway into loading windows. I have tried multiple mice and keyboards and have even tried booting into safe mode which just brings me back to the screen in which I setup windows. Is there anyway I can fix this?

You're missing some drivers. If you have a full system backup, you can restore from it and be back up and running in under an hour. If not, you could check to see if there's a way to restore to factory settings. Failing these, you'll need to either get restore discs from your computer's manufacturer or perhaps get a Bluetooth keyboard. The full system backup is the ounce of prevention, without that, you're into the painful pound of cure.

Good luck.
