    I am trying to do a clean install of Win 7 x32 on a m1530, and when I boot off of the cd it will load up to the screen where you set the date or whatnot, and I have no mouse or keyboard controls. ( I have tried it with a Vista x32 Home cd with the same results, no controls )

    The system has 7 RC on it right now and if I go through there and select a custom install it will setup all the files and restart, but when it restarts to the Windows setup menu I get a BSOD.

    Any ideas would help, I am frustrated and stumped.

    *EDIT* Just tried with an external keyboard plugged into USB with no luck.
