Is it likely to be anything else than a loose connection? I've checked everything I can.. including removing the new HDD (it's now back to it's original state before I put the new drive in, but still no keyboard etc)

:help:

Thanks!

The plot thickens... It appears to be my wireless keyboard & mouse, as I've just found an old usb mouse, and that's working.

So at present:

USB mouse - Working
Wireless logitech keyboard & mouse - not working

Installed drivers compatible with op sys?

preferably whilst using non wireless

Wireless, I've tried reconnecting, still nothing. I've even changed the batteries, just in case of co-incidence. Still nothing.

The OS is still the same, it's still running from the original HDD at the moment, without the new one plugged in.

How strange.. I just wiggled the connections, rebooted and everything seems to have come to life!

Now, to reinstall the other drive again.

Thanks for your help :thumbs:

Go to control panel, then device manager, scroll down to keyboard/pointing devices to see if they are active. You can reinstall drivers from there if need be by right mouse clicking.

If a yellow circle attached to them, might be a driver has not loaded for some reason.

Doh!!! to late
