OK, not a keyboard driver issue then.

You say you have an Award BIOS but are you sure that access is by using the
DEL key? Some Award BIOS's are accessed using Ctrl + Alt + Esc. Are you
attempting to access the BIOS at the correct moment - immediately following
power-on?
If that fails too, see Mike Stevens' page
http://michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm
it might be worth trying any of the other various combinations shown on his
page, or try any others shown on the WIM's BIOS page
http://www.wimsbios.com/faq/howtoget...mputerbios.jsp

If you are certain that DEL is the correct key (e.g. you've used it before
to access your BIOS) then are you now certain that the DEL key is still
functioning correctly? - A faulty keyboard perhaps? May be worth
substituting to prove it.

Actually no it is still and will always be a PS/2 keybord and i am able to
boot into safe mode and choose a bootabel device but just not the flash
drive
like i want so what i was going tho do was when and if the computers hard
drive crashes i will always have a usb bootable medium with a clone of the
hard drive in it so when it does crash i was going to go into the bios to
change it to boot from USB E:

and if this helps the bios is V1.0A

it says award winning bios

You haven't replaced the keyboard with a USB or wireless one by any
chance?
Just a thought, are you able to boot into Safe Mode? Might be a clue.

What does DevMan tell you?
