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.

Okay, again, please learn to read and interpret.  I mentioned it coming up as DDR 200 BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS BOTH INCORRECT AND IMPOSSIBLE.  I personally have never heard of this problem before and well, Google is shit for DDR200 recognize incorrect, etc.  Why would it matter I list the frequency?  DDR400 333MHz, PC2700. Doing so would be redundant.  On occasion, having asymmetrical amounts of RAM in a configuration in which the largest is in the first bay and the second in the second, can cause RAM to be detected strangely.  I think you just have no answer to this.

And why you wouldn't say "Try enabling legacy USB" instead of being an elitist asshole, baffles me.  I mean, even if your ego couldn't handle  that, you must be able to see the time and effort you would have saved in typing a single sentence (or no sentence at all.)  Granted, it wouldn't have helped at all.  But the thought would have been nice.

Really, what is your problem?  Why did you feel the need to go out of your way to be a jerk?  You're the people I hate on comp and /g/- too fucking good for everybody else, but god forbid you actually post something useful.

*sigh* this thread is made of so much fail and wasted effort.  Seriously, I'm getting reamed for having a USB keyboard?  A USB KEYBOARD?!  Really, maybe I'd understand if USB ports were at a premium and I didn't actually have you know, EIGHT of them.  Also, power consumption?  Yeah, I'm going to make my system unstable because of the negligible amount of power my damn keyboard takes.  Sorry I'm an idiot for wanting to read my keyboard at night so it's lighted.  I must be a complete fag.  Sorry I found my $5 PS/2 IBM keyboard uncomfortable to type on.  So since I have my keyboard hooked up, now I can only hook up...my mouse, my external hard drive...eerr, make that six of them.  All at once.  Hell, make that six USB fondue pots.  No, six USB calculators.  Just in case one breaks.

Now I remember why you don't post anything but shitty memes and e-penis threads in /comp/.
