HP E-PC Disabling Startup Msg

**KingsDude** · 05-17-2005, 12:14 AM

Hey, so I have an e-pc and I don't have the PS2 keyboard and mouse plugged in. Is there any way I can disable it to check for it, and just automatically bypass the step.

Check BIOS for the following setting.

Halt on Errors: None

Buy a mini keyboard, only about $20.00 on ebay. Called the Dreamgear Mini Key. Only the size of a credit card. This way you can hid it anywhere. There is no way to disable the keyboard warning.

Well try enterning the BIOS with F11 key instead of as you do with F1 and post back your findings.

F11 just took me to like a boot menu. Nothing will work.. Maybe if I plug in a USB keyboard and press EMIT CODE???

Try this:
Start without keyboard, if the error appears, plug a keyboard an press F4, now unplug the keyboard, the next start, the error shouldn't appear again

In the BIOS of the ePCs, theres no entry like "Halt on Errors" so this is (as far is I know) the only way to solve the Problem (I hope it will work at your ePC, at mine, it worked!)
