Hello everyone again!
My Dual Pent 3, though working well, is getting long in the tooth and I wanted to upgreade. Well my brother hooked me up big time and gave me an unused server.
So I formated the hard drive (123 gig drive) and tried to load eCS 2.0.
At the screen where it asks you to start the install from the CD or just load from the Harddrive the keyboard would not work. If I went into the Bios the Keyboard worked fine.
The Keyboard is USB and the Mouse I put on PS/2 connector.
I found that when the eCS 2 screen where it gives me the choice of booting from the CD or harddrive I can change the choice via the mouse.
I did this and once eCS 2.0 loaded to the install screen the keyboard and mouse worked fine.
I installed eCS using the standard settings and everything looked great, I rebooted and all I get now is the curser flashing at the top left hand side of the screen right after the bios gets doen booting up.
This computer has been a Windows XP server for over a year with no issues so I doubt its a hardware issue
I took some hardware readings:
