Can' install: Can't insert number on Console Menu

Post by jjmaia »

Hello, all!

I'm trying nas4free on some used material. I'm installing from an USB pen drive, and i want to install on a 250GB HDD!
The problem is that i cant skip this step:

I press the key but nothing happens. In case it helps, pressing caps lock wont light the CL light, same wth Numb lock.

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: Disconnected the keyboard (PS/2) and connected a usb one and it gave a lot of errors.
Maybe it want's to install on a USB disk, but i want to install on a HDD...

your keyboard are not recognized or your motherboard have a defective PS2 connector, please identify what is the problem ( Not a N4F problem for sure).

If the problem is from the board i'm screwed...
I don't have another PS/2 keyboard, can this work with an USB keyboard?

EDIT: Lol, just remembered I have changed the bios parameter so it could boot from a USB flash drive, so the board and the keyboard should be fine...

In case it matter, the specs are:

GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H
AMD ATHLON X2 4850E (2.5GHZ) BOX SKT AM2
2GB RAM

is the ps/2 keyboard working in the bios?

i would suggest that you update the bios and then reset the bios.
