GA-P55m-UD2 1.0 setting up RAID post win7 install

Doesn't make things any easier does it?

Maybe he has 10 different spare USB keyboards, that would help as one would have to be more compatible 

Using latest BIOS?

Actually I couldn't get any of the Gigabyte websites to recognise the model the other day and so couldn't check for BIOS versions etc.
Now that I can I have just noticed that it does indeed have a PS2 port which I did think strange when the OP said it.

The latest BIOS version we have here is F11.

Maybe the OP can verify if he is running that or an older version?

So it does have PS/2 then?   If so he should be fine with a PS/2 keyboard, or using his USB keyboard with a USB to PS/2 adapter.

And of course if he is using a very old BIOS a new one might fix it right up without any of this PS/2 hassles.   

Be sure he clears the DMI pool when flashing

Thanks for the replies guys, sorry for not responding sooner.  I sorted the RAID problem by plugging in a PS2 keyboard into the PS2 port I didn't think I had.    I don't know why I thought this mobo didn't have one but it does and works fine.  It only has the one PS2 port, not one for KB and another for mouse.  Felt a right prat when I realised it was hiding back there.

I still have the issue with the USB keyboard on startup.  I have setup a dual boot and need to select which OS I want to run, if I plug my KB in when the question comes up about selecting OS it works and I can choose but if the KB is already plugged in then it doesn't recognise it. 

I haven't checked which BIOS is in but I don't think I've updated it since the original install a year ago so I will do that and see what happens.

Try Enable and Disable USB Storage Detect in the Integrated Peripherals BIOS page, may also just be called USB Storage in your BIOS.

Be sure you are on the latest BIOS too.

Thanks.  Updated BIOS and now the keyboard works during startup.   What a palarver (sp?)  Thanks for all the input, stopped me from tearing out what little hair I have left.

Moral of the story, open your eyes and make sure you're up to date.
