820GM and USB keyboard

Hi,

I have an 820GM system. Just recently, I started using a USB keyboard
with it. At first I didn't notice a boot time message about the system
not finding a keyboard, because it works great inside Windows Vista.
The issue became obvious when I had to go into the BIOS 2 days ago. I
kept pressing F2 during boot but it would just go straight into Windows.
Is this system the only one in the planet that does not recognize a USB
keyboard before the OS runs?

Hook your other keyboard up so you can get into BIOS and look for a setting
like or similar to "Enable Legacy USB Devices" and make sure it is enabled.
There may be a single setting or separate settings for keyboard and mouse.
Save changes and exit and your USB keyboard should then work.
