have done many formats but this one beats my knickers..Dell Optiplex GX240.(bought from boot sale by my friend as an upgrade) Doesn't except my keyboard or mouse..lets me enter bios but arrows don't work so can't choose boot up from xp disc. My mouse is lit up but won't work...plug them back into my own tower it all works...but my friends dell !!!!! I'm beginning to understand the word 'hate'. It boots up to windows 98,then no mouse detected'. Then the screensaver..F2 to bios F12 to bootup but keyboard works to get into them but won't let me select boot from cd...Am close to giving up(which I don't mind at the moment) If i'm in the wrong please with my question will someone put it in the right place for help...I apologise in advance for wrong doings......bimble....PS: I have an xp pro cd to load up on it....i've moved to an acer vista laptop so i thought i'd pass my xp disc on as my old lappy died.I'm just trying to do a favour for a friend but if I can't then I can't....:blackeye:
