Is it an USB keyboard? If yes, then you have to enable the support for it in BIOS.

You have to borrow a PS/2 keyboard from someone. No other way really.

or buy a chaepo PS\2 keyboard.

I work on alot of machines that is why I always keep a cheapo 10.00 PS\2 keyboard on hand.

USB drivers don't load until the OS is loading...BIOS is pre-OS therefore no keyboard.
Everyone should have a PS2 keyboard handy for just this reason.
!0 bucks and you should be good to go...

Another useless and wrong post by patio..

Most BIOSes on USB-capable computers also have USB keyboard support. It's just not the default sometimes

That's interesting...i've seen 3 machines this month that all had USB ports and no USB keyboard support in the BIOS.

It could be the default. Try reseting the BIOS (turn the power off completely, remove BIOS battery for a couple of seconds or reset it with a jumper).

PS/2 to USB adapter

Instead of buying an old school PS/2 keyboard you can get a PS/2 to USB adapter. PS/2 to USB adapter

Good luck.
