I have a Dell Dimension E521. After installing Avast and some tune-up utilities, the keyboard stopped working before Windows could boot up, preventing me from accessing the BIOS. I tried clearing the CMOS by removing the battery, but now I get the error messages 'Diskette Drive 0 seek failure' and 'Keyboard failure' with instructions to press F1 to continue or F2 to enter setup. However, the keyboard has no power and I can't press any keys. This PC has no PS2 ports, so I can't use a PS2 keyboard. What can I do to resolve this issue?
