NF7-s Rev 2.0 setup problems

[Manno]

Hello everyone been lurking here for awhile gaining some knowledge while acquiring parts for new computer.

Just assembled the following:

NF7-S Rev. 2 board Bios Rev. 16
AMD 2100 Tbred B
SLK 947 with Smartfan II
Win XP
WD 80 Gig 8 meg drive
32x Acer CD-RW
512 Meg Ultra Extreme 3500 DDR
PNY 5600 Ultra 128 meg Graphic card

Tried to setup XP initially using Serielle adapter Bios didn't seem to recognize So I recabled using IDE bus and windows installed to the graphic screen then I get a blue stop code 00002111? # maybe a off any rate it means that the upgrade file is corrupt. MS recommends to reboot from CD to repair.

Problem is system will not boot from CD now. It seems when I get to the point in bios screen to press a key to boot from CD-Rom my keystrokes are not recognized and it continues to boot from HD.

I can't access the setup screen easily either Delete keystrokes not being recognized until I go thru a few cycles of power off power on with insert key depressed then delete key. I thought I could reset bios to only boot from CD until I get this corrupted file fixed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated I must say this has to be the most difficult time I have ever encountered in building a unit. If anyone wishes to reply directly please use link below.

I've only come across this problem using a usb keyboard. Are you sure the kb is ok?

After all the of the mention Of USB I tried a USB wireless. It worked!!! I disabled the hard drive in the Bios reloaded xp but used a 98 SE original disk as opposed to a 98 upgrade. Presently plodding along (never OC'd before) temp is holding 30-31C Idle. a 2100 B at 200x11. 1.65 V. Memory is using turbo timing default 8,3,3,2 and auto ratio. I haven't aquired the test software yet to pose a load or torture my overclocking hopefully I will have that downloaded this weekend and see where I am at.
