Hey
I just replaced a motherboard in a dell gx620. put all the components in and it fires up but I cannot log in. it responds to Cnt Alt DEL to accesss the login ( and will recognise cap lock on etc) but when I try to type a password (or username) it just beeps and does not type characters. is there some security to windows (XP PRO) that is on the old hard drive that is locking me out?
appreciate your response...
