Is your keyboard a USB model? If so, did the computer come with that keyboard? There may be a setting in the BIOS to Enable legusy USB devices. That will allow the keyboard to function prior to entering Windows.
The catch 22 is getting the BIOS to open in order to change the setting. You may need to temporarily connect a PS/2 Keyboard in order to open the BIOS screens.

Then try a different keyboard. Also, you may be using the wrong procedure. Start continously tapping the correct key as soon as you start the computer.
