New Motherboard

So, I just replaced my motherboard from my frankenstein HP computer.  It's just an inexpensive Foxconn, seeing as I only wanted to replace the board (needed socket 754, agp, DDR 400).  Now, it works.  Mostly.  I have a few problems I can't seem to figure out.  If /comp/ could give me any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.

First, my USB keyboard does not work in BIOS or windows setup but works the rest of the time just fine.  My PS/2 keyboard works fine all of the time.  It's not an old motherboard, so I wouldn't suspect this problem, but is this something I just have to deal with due to poor USB support?

Another thing: on the boot screen it lists my memory as being DDR 200 (o_0a).  It recognizes all of it (1.5 GBs) but it thinks it's a strange speed.  My motherboard was also designed for DDR 400 as is listed in the manual.  WTF?  Could this be fixed by reorgnainizing my memory (say, my 1 GB stick in the 1st bay)?

And the last thing: I wasn't able to repair my existing OS- WinXP home as all I have for that are recovery disks and the only OEM I have is XP pro, so I instead installed my OS on my recovery partition.  Now, I don't mind this, but I was wondering if there was a way to delete all of my indows files/system files on my old, main partition without doing it by hand or deleting my data that is on there.  Possible or no?

Thanks.

*sigh* and here I had the vain hope that you would rephrase your question into something worthwhile (or get a fucking clue and google).

Your complaints mainly tell me that you're too stupid to be working on computers, if you can't determine what speed your RAM runs at even.  Dumbass, there is no DDR200.  Of course, you have no clue what frequency DDR400 actually RUNS at, so I guess this is to be expected. After all, you actually entertain that rearranging three dimms in a different configuration is going to change things (failing to realize that it would take no more than three test cases to determine that "Oh, this isn't changing anything- I'm a moron".)

That you can't figure out how to enable legacy USB (which I suspect to be your problem) even WITH the "Good documentation, good construction, good support" just fucking baffles me.


As for data management, figure that shit out on your own- you can't have your hand held all the time.
