I am dual booting 2 separate win xp's on 2 hard drives. so i get the selection before windows start as to which windows to load.

with a ps2 keyboard i can select with this saitek usb keyboard i can't.

It works when trying to get into the bios and in the bios so motherboard recognises it, but I don't know why it doesn't pick it up at the select point.

in bios there should some option like usb keyboard support bios/os or usb keyboard support enabled/disabled, make sure it's turned on, just have a good hunt, other keywords would be usb emulation etc
