X58 Gigabyte board won't boot

[Yasin40]

Hi guys

I just got a Gigabyte X58 ud4p board with an i7 920

When I turn it on, I see the splash screen (gigabyte logo and stuff), and then it does something and says "disk boot failure insert boot disk and press enter" 

I press enter but nothing happens

I tried booting with a Windows 10 SSD and a Windows Vista hdd

Both got that message

I can't seem to get into the bios to change boot priority (maybe I just don't know how on an old x58 board) 

How can I fix this problem?

F12 seems to always be boot option, try restarting and mashing F12
if nothing, try a different SATA port on the board.

I already tried the other ports

F12 is boot menu, correct. I can get into boot menu but I can't move around in the boot menu (or click enter when I get the error I mentioned for that matter) 

My SATA SSD has a + next to it so I think the board is seeing it but I can't select because the keyboard won't work

What should I do?

SATA set to ACHI instead of IDE? If you're using a Win 10 drive from another PC that's at all recent it will be set up for ACHI, X58 often defaults to IDE.

Try a different keyboard. Sounds like it's not playing ball with this board. If it has USB3 ports, make sure you plug it into the USB2 ports instead. If possible use PS/2.

No

idk, maybe try a different USB keyboard or a USB 2.0 port if you were using USB 3.0

Use a USB 2.0 port on the mobo (some have USB 3.0, don't use those for BIOS), if you already were then move to another one. What keyboard are you using btw? Some like my Corsair K70 Lux have a switch on the back for a BIOS mode, doesn't work on older boards without that switch on.

I just have a dell kb and a generic one

No bios switches and only usb 2 on the mobo

I tried all ports

Tried unplugging the PC, taking out the CMOS battery, holding down the power button for 10-15 seconds then letting it sit for 10 minutes or so? That often sorts out wacky bugs with the BIOS or CMOS.

Other than trying a PS/2 keyboard like Mnky suggested, I can't think of much else to try. It won't register the keyboard at all in the BIOS?

No

I click f12 while it's posting, get the boot priority menu and then I can't do anything

Yeah, other than trying a new keyboard I don't see what else you can do. I don't know if any X58 boards had a BIOS flashback feature, some do have multiple BIOS chips you can switch between though.
