During post the keyboard works fine, I can access the bios and make changes. Once XP-Home boots though it does not recognize the keyboard. No errors, it just will not work. I have tried 2 usb and 2 serial keyboards and no joy.

Any ideas as to why the keyboard will not work?

Does the mouse work properly?

Have you tried removing the keyboard driver in Device Manager...and rebooting?

Yes the mouse works fine.
Yes I have deleted the keyboard driver.
It did no good.
In fact it shows two keyboard entries and I deleted them both only to have the OS [XP home] reinstall them both at reboot.

Still does not work.

If I had only 1 keyboard attached, but had two entries for a keyboard in Device Manager...I think I'd go this route: Remove Unused Drivers and Devices - http://www.windowsnetworking.com/kbase/Win...andDevices.html

Have you tried running the chkdsk /r command...either from within XP or from the Recovery Console of the XP install CD?
