Booting Option

I have 2 HDDs, 1 has XP and the other has Vista. I'd like to mainly work in
XP but every once and awhile Id like to play with Vista. My problem is that
when it gets to the point during startup that asks which OS to boot to, the
PC hasn't recognized my USB keyboard so I am unable to make a choice. I can
hook up a PS2 keyboard but I'd like to be able to select my OS with the USB
keyboard already attached.

Is there anyway to get this USB keyboard recognized before this prompt?

I beleive I found the answer. I just need to poke around the BIOS and see
about enabled the USB devices. Im new here so I don't know if you can delete
a post or not.

Re: Booting Option

You can cancel one and then it is removed from the server. However, by that
time it is already downloaded on lots of systems and cannot be recalled from
them. I wouldn't worry about it. You answered the question and we all have
done the same thing.
