It's working. I haven't a single clue why. The BIOS saw both drives as I was checking the legacy usb. Booted from the xp cd, it sees both drives, see that one is partitioned as I did and is right now formatting the partition to reinstall xp. I genuinely don't know why this is working.. but I like it.

If so, you need to look in the BIOS for a USB keyboard support option, and set it to legacy (I think, it lets DOS programs recognise it) Is it a USB keyboard?

I can set boot order, F2, F10 and ctrl-A work before but when I get to the 'Generate Diskette' prompt it will not recognise the kb. The other two FDD in the house don't work. I'm going to phone repair places. I'm stuck.. Hi Steve – I can’t. I can set boot order, F2, F10 and ctrl-A work before but when I get to the ‘Generate Diskette’ prompt it will not recognise the kb.

You can create a driver disk by booting from the CD that came with the motherboard, and following the instructions on that, then pressing f6 when the windows installer prompts you to. And try setting onboard SATA in the bios to on instead of auto, and turning RAID off. Did you manage to get the SATA drivers onto a floppy?
