    What do you mean when you say "they don't work"?
    When the machine boots up, do you get a keyboard error?
    Does the mouse just sit there and you can't move the pointer?

    btw, you probably could have posted this in the "Hardware section".

    after about 20 minutes of googleing i found out that you cant boot a disk if u have a usb mouse in a usb slot for some reson... so i grabed one of my old ps/2 mice, and it worked fine .

    yes i could have but... meh

    I forgot to ask about the usb mouse.
    I was thinking about usb when I typed, just forgot to put it in.
    Glad it was easily fixed.
