Are you using a USB keyboard?

If you are is it plugged directly into the motherboards USB port also do you have a PS/2 keyboard to hand.

If it is USB then is it in the USB 3 ports? If so, try it in the USB 2

assuming you can get into the bios ok, have a look for something like "usb legacy devices" and make sure it's set to enabled.

thanks ill give that a go, just wondering if there is a setting in bios that is causing my original error "Fatal error: one or more table pointers are invalid"

ive tryed the suggested Note: If it does not work use the command bootsect.exe /nt60 ALL/force instead of bootsect.exe /nt60 SYS /force

but i cant seem to get it to run it wont run from c: says its not recognised

just checked bios usb legacy devices is enabled

thanks
