    HIR USB Keyboard problem

    I'm evaluating Server. Moving Windows 2000 Server from older machine to new Dell which only has USB Keyboard and mouse. After restore Alt-Ctrl-Del is recognized but keystrokes at login screen are not accepted. Suggestions?

    Strange because if you can type Ctrl-Alt-Del then the keyboard is recognized. Did you wait a minute or two and reboot 2-3 times to give PnP enough time to prepare for USB devices? It is conceivable that your Win2k server has trouble working with the very new USB chips. Try to find Win2k USB drivers for this machine and use HIR to integrate. If it doesn't work why not use virtualization and dump it into a VM. The VM layer will not guzzle nearly enough horse power of a new server from 2008 to make your Win2k run slower than on original machine.
    Jack of many trades, master of none.

     I thought so too.  I reloaded image using Vista option and it finally got working. The only problems I have now are that the machine keeps prompting for an nVidia driver, nvata.sys, on bootup (which I spent 3 hours on a tech support call to Dell with and which never got resolved) and that regardless of how large I set IRPStackSize to, I get a message about "not enough server storage is available to process this command" when I try to connect to a shared external USB drive attached to one of my computers.
