Windows 10: PC keyboard stuck on startup after reinstalling Windows and wiping drives.

HP Compaq 1494 Elite motherboard, Prebuilt PC.First time fully resetting after a year’s useKeyboard will work on forcing experimental mode but not on fresh installation menu. I’m not sure how to change my 3.0 USB controller to a 2.0 if that is the fix. I’ve tried resetting it and other things. Safe Mode option only returns me to the installation menu after a reset, keyboard and mouse not registering on the pc.

Cannot boot or reinstall windows, or wipe drive

Hi anelson0528,

I'm Paul, a Microsoft Community Member. I hope I can help you with your concern.

Please try to use Diskpart to wipe the Disk drive. Refer to the steps below.

1. During the Windows 10 setup, press Shift + F10 keyboard shortcut to open Command Prompt.

2. When Command Prompt opens, enter diskpart and press Enter.

3. Now enter list disk and press Enter.

A list of all available hard drives will appear. You need to select the disk that you want to wipe.

4. Enter select disk 0 and press Enter.

5. Enter clean and press Enter.

6. Optional: Use convert gtp or convert mbr command to convert your drive to the desired type.

7. Enter exit and press Enter.

Close Command Prompt and try to install Windows 10 again.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.

Old PC Stuck on 'Hello There, lets get a few..'. Doesnt detect input

Hi, I recently bought a new PC and deciding I would give away my old PC which is why I wiped it. After being wiped and then turned on the PC was stuck on Reset This PC (basically confirm it) as no input such as the mouse or keyboard would work. (they would power on, but for example no keys could be pressed, numlock cannot be turned on)
The PC has no ps/2 connectors nor does the mobo. I have wiped the cmos and restarted it, there was a couple of beeps, I turned it back on and then it said it was reinstalling windows. Now I'm stuck on the hello there windows page which asks for me to confirm county keyboard layout ect. What are my options? Mouse and keyboard are receiving power.
Does this mean it is maybe a driver issue? I did use a boot able windows when reformatting the PC. Pretty stumped.

Someone suggested to use a HP Mouse/keyboard and the keyboard I am infact using with it is HP. I have tested that they work on a different PC and they do.

I have created a DVD Iso of Linux and another one of Windows 10 but the PC does not boot from cd drive and i have no way of going into the BIOS.
