TRY HOLDING DOWN THE F1 BUTTON WHEN YOU REBOOT

Your motherboard's chipset has to support what are known as USB legacy devices, and the settings for the mouse and keyboard have to be enabled.
The settings are located in Integrated Peripherals section of your PC's BIOS setup program, unless your PC is too old to have a BIOS with that feature.
If you have a manual for your PC's motherboard, its BIOS section will explain the settings. If you don't have a manual, identify the make and model of the motherboard and download a copy of the manual in the PDF format from its manufacturer's site. You need the free Acrobat Reader to read it. You can use the free CPU-Z utility to identify a motherboard from within Windows.
If the latest available BIOS update for your PC's motherboard does not support USB before Windows loads, you can't use USB keyboard or mouse at that level.
Good Luck

You will have to borrow a PS/2 keyboard to use to get into the bios to enable USB keyboard support... That is, as long as your motherboard supports it.
By the way, there is no such thing as an OS/2 keyboard. OS/2 was an old IBM operating system. Though the term PS/2 comes from the computer system that OS/2 ran on.

To get to BIOS make sure and hit the appropriate keys (Delete sometimes is it). Other keys will not work.
If this is not the case, then you have a real ordeal. Must find an adaptor that will connect your USB keyboard into its purple OS/2 hook up, or borrow a OS/2 type keyboard from a friend.

You have to use a wired keyboard to get into the bio.
