USB Legacy Support and USB Keyboard

newparad1gm · 05-22-11, 12:53 PM

I'm having a problem with an external hard drive during boot that I've found a possible solution to in disabling USB Legacy Support in BIOS on my Asus P6T. However, the problem is that I have a USB keyboard plugged into my computer. If I disable the USB Legacy Support, would I no longer be able to use the keyboard to hit Del to access BIOS on startup?

Just thought I would ask before trying as I don't want to have to open up the computer to reset the CMOS if I find I suddenly can't access the BIOS anymore. (I also don't have a PS/2 keyboard handy).

I would leave it on, it maybe a little problematic. Legacy support is really for DOS and BIOS programs.
