Inspiron 530 - USB Ports Not Working
I think maybe my USB ports got fried or something. They just all of a sudden quit working. I can plug my phone into a USB port and it will charge it, but will not recognize it. The biggest problem is that I do not have any PS/2 ports on the box and I cannot get my mouse or keyboard to work. I can power the PC on and my desktop and everything comes up, but I can not get into anything because my mouse and keyboard do not work. I tried a brand new keyboard and the same thing happened.
I am able to get into the BIOS and the keyboard works in there, but does not work anywhere else. I looked for an option to turn on or enable USB or Legacy keyboards and nothing is there.
I am running Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
I put a different Had Drive in the PC and it ran just fine with no problems and all USB's worked. So I believe this maybe a driver issue. But how do I get new drivers on the Hard Drive with the broken USB's?
Help!!!
Thank you in advance.

Hi Bossman325,
Are you able to access the BIOS during boot, or the F8 menu to get into safe mode?
