hi, i'm new to linux,

i am currently dual booting with windows xp and linux mandrake 9.2

when the boot up screen comes up, i cant choose any options using a usb keyboard. so i hafto use a keyboard that plugs into the keyboard port. is there any way that i can use the usb port for my keyboard??

also is there a way to set windowsxp as default boot up??

thank you

Yes to both questions.

Without knowing what system you have, look in the bios setup, usually under, I think, integrated peripherals, and choose to enable USB keyboard support. Save your settings and reboot. See if that solves the use of keyboard issue.
