    Hey all,

    My computer is stuck at the screen where it asks you to select between "delete restore data and restart" or "continue resuming."

    Since resuming from hibernation failed on my first try, I would naturally pick delete restore data and restart. Anyway, the problem is that I cannot use my keyboard to select the option and hit enter. For some strange reason, my keyboard (USB-based) would not respond.

    The other thing is when I'm in the initial boot screen, I can hit delete to enter the BIOS screen. However, once I get up to that selection screen, the keyboard goes out. Also my mice (USB-based, with PS2 adapter connected) does not light up.

    I'm basically stuck, until I have a PS/2 based keyboard, I really can't do anything now. Any other suggestions in the mean time?

    Thanks!

    Yeah that's what I thought. There's a timeout, right?
