If it's not being recognised before the boot.ini/OS is kicking in then It's probably a BIOS problem. If you can access the BIOS you could try resetting it to defaults, if you can't there should be a MOBO jumper near the battery that will allow you clear the CMOS. If you're unsure about this consult your MOBO manual or try and find a techy friend. Just a thought if your keyboard is USB then make sure that the BIOS USB settings have not been disabled.
