any computer techies out there
 
have a question 2 hard drives installed both with xp . have a kvm switch that connects keyboard and mouse(usb). Problem is When i try to select which drive to boot from the keyboard (usb) does not respond. I have to hook up another one via ps2 and I can select it. any Ideas??

The problem with XP is that it's an old OS. Since USB was still pretty new when XP came out you would most likely need the drivers for the keyboard.

On most new desktops today they did away with the ps2 connections and went with USB ports. You wouldn't need any kind of drivers if you had a newer OS installed cuz the drivers are already built into the OS.

You took the words out of my mouth Yotano. Also an alternative is a more advanced version of Windows XP, I use an XP called "BLACK XP 44" it's a more advanced version and it might have the proper drivers. I would take Yotano's advice on this one though.

maybe try a usb to ps2 adapter to go around the problem. they are about $1 on you know where

That is an illegally distributed, hacked copy of Windows XP... the ONLY Microsoft sanctioned (and therefore, legal) versions of XP are Home, Professional and Media Centre editions.

I have windows 7 but I'm not a fan of it It is basically a cleaned up vers of vista. I will see If I can download the drivers for my keyboard(logitech) If not I will Have to figure something out. Thanks

if the ps2 works but not the usb, just try the adapter i suggested. its a $1 risk

Solid info to learn.

I have 2 logitec multi keyboards. A new one and an old one. I updated the drivers but the new one still does not respond. I used the old one and that works perfect.
Old school don't break down! LOL

Thanks for the info now I can switch from one drive to the next.
