Hoping someone may have a suggestion to my problem. The PC is dual booting XP and LINUX using GRUB. However before you get to the GRUB menu I am getting a quick message at the POST screen that no keyboard has been detected. When the GRUB menu appears (as you would expect) I am uable to select an OS as there is no keyboard!

I usually use a Bluetooth key board, and have tried both PS2 and USB with the same result. Even putting the Xp disc in the DVD drive I grind to a halt when I am asked to 'press any key to boot from the CD'.

All connections inside the machine are OK, there appears to be nothing obvious.

Motherboard is an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe.The LINUX OS is on a seperate hard drive. (Enermax Liberty 620w PSU, 2 x 6800GS Graphics, AMD X2 4400 CPU, 2gb Corsair RAM)

Any suggestions would be gratefully recived.

I cant get to the BIOS as I cannot use the key board, so cant press 'DEL'!!!

What do you mean by BT set up?
