Try a different USB port.  Only one of the USB ports on the back of the computer tower is active before Windows loads.

Use the PS/2 keyboard and mouse when reinstalling Windows.

Check your BIOS if USB Controller is set to ON.

Contact Dell.

Or,

If your Dimension came with Dell PC Restore Partition (available on Dimension and Inspiron systems that shipped on or after 7/16/2004 in the Americas and 8/30/2004 in Europe) , try to fix the Dell MBR (info here) and then use the Dell PC Restore Utility (info here) to restore your system to "as-shipped" configuration.
