HELP!

[Guest]

My mom's Dell PC (running win 7) stopped detecting the keyboard and mouse (no ps2 ports) even though it is detected in bios, I remember a few days ago I booted into safe mode but I forgot how (f8 method no work) HELP APPRECIATED!

As far as I'm aware, F8 is the method to boot a Dell Win 7 machine... Are you sure you're doing it properly? I know sometimes it can ignore it if not pressing it like a madman escaping from hell.

Check out this guide. In windows 7, open msconfig, and you can use that application to schedule a reboot into safe mode.

How can I do that without keyboard or mouse...

if its running 7 boot it up and cut the power and it should ask you at next boot what mode you want to boot into.  I'm assuming the keyboard and mouse work outside windows

Works, until it asks me for a disc...

Dammit I misread the OP, again.....

 

I will assume that you've tried every single USB port you have.

 

Try using another keyboard, mashing other keys like delete or escape

 

Can you get to the BIOS right now?
