Comment: Okay. So 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 related question. I have the bloetooth 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... Anyway, Thanks! Dan

Reply: (edit)Hey Dan, Drag out the old keyboard-the one with the usb lead on it and use that. There may be a blue tooth awareness issue with startup and windows on the mac bios. Use the old trusty USB lead keyboard and once all is good, use the bluetooth again. Cheers Any Society That Would Give Up Essential Liberty For Temporary Security Will Lose Both & Deserve Neither.
