Hello,

I have installed windows on my iMac ( as well as having good 'ol trusty OSX ) and wouldn't you know it my. Windows .... broke..... Anyway. This is still kind of a Mac realted question. I have the bluetooth keyboard, and when. I try to boot from the Windows cd ( just to at least TRY to repair my Windows ) It says.. "press any key to boot from cd". And i am mashing the keyboard, but to no avail.It just.

Goes past this screen and i get my Windows error. I was wondering if anyone has ANY insight as to how I can get the keyboard to be detected so I can boot from the cd! I have tried holding down alt ( option ) and getting the boot option screen and pressing keyboard buttons, and it works there, but after it leaves that screen, all is lost..

Thanks.

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Hai

Drag out the old keyboard-the one with the usb lead on it and use that. There may be a blue tooth awarness issue with stratup and windows on the MAC BIOS.

use the old trusty USB lead keyboard and once all is good, use the bluetooth again.
