Mouse and Keyboard issues after Parted Magic desktop loads
Posted: Thu Dec 04, 2014 9:17 am
Hi
I'm trying to help a friend repartition a hard drive remotely...he's 500 miles away. Sent him latest UBCD5 and his pc boots up into the menu. Keyboard works and we select Parted Magic. When the graphical environments load, no mouse or keyboard works, so I cant use the Partition Editor. I also tried Failsafe menu, and was hoping to do it via Parted, but as soon as we get into the root prompt --- you guessed it, no keyboard! Uggh! I read that USB Legacy support should be enabled. I can't confirm if it is or is not, since he is not very pc literate. It's a Dell Inspiron 570. I had him set all bios options to default, save and exit..still no luck after attempting that. Is there any other suggestions?
Thanks!
