Trying to repair Bootcamp but keyboard not working at installation screen?

Okay so I was a happy little camper, had windows 7 running on bootcamp perfectly and had yosemite installed recently.
Bootcamp was running out of space so I created an exFat partition and that's when the past 24 hours of my life have turned into ****.
Bootcamp would show in system preferences but when I restarted the computer and held alt, it would not show at start up neither directly restarting into bootcamp worked. Finally found a solution for that, did the whole fdisk stuff and fixed the MBPR etc etc. Now bootcamp is present at start up via alt option but once I start I only get a black screen with a blinking cursor. The solution to that I discovered is to repair bootcamp using a bootable usb/cd. Since I'm using a MBP retina 2014, I had to create a bootable usb via bootcamp. Now, when I go to the start up screen and select the win 7 bootable drive, I get to the installation screen to select language but my trackpad/mouse and keyboard are not responding!!! *takes a gun and shoots himself* How do I fix this ? I've been trying to find a solid solution but no luck! please someone help me out

Please, is there any workaround to this problem? I would wish to install arch on my PC.
Maybe installing an older version CD could work, but i am not sure if older versions of arch offer support for ext4...
EDIT: Ok I solved it, it was a very strange option in Bios, called "Installer OS Select", where the options to choose were Windows or Others, and I choose others and voilà!, Keyboard working.
Strange, right?

    First off, your installation disc is in all likelihood faulty.

  • Appletv 2 flashing quickly - no reponse at all -tried to unplug power but did not work.

    Appletv 2 flashing quickly - no reponse at all -tried to unplug power but did not work. What should i do?

    You'll have to connect the your ATV2 to computer via micro-usb port on the back. Open itunes and put the ATV2 in DFU mode by holding down the menu and play button for 7 seconds. Itunes should recognize the device. Once it does press the restore button,itunes will then download the latest software and reinstall it on the ATV2.  You will then have to go through the setup process again. If that doesn't fix the problem take it back the store you bought it at.

    Hi Roger
    Thank you for your reply.
    My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
    However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
    Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is  http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
    I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
    I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
    Thanks is advance.

  • USB Keyboard Not Working At Login Screen

    After waking my brand new Mac Pro (OS X 10.7.4) from sleep, my usb keyboard sometimes becomes unresponsive. So, at the login, I am unable to type my password in order to restore my session.
    Is there a reason for usb devices to not work after waking the mac up? I tried all of the usb ports on the mac, as well as all the ports on both monitors. Thankfully, I have a bluetooth mouse and that works. But no idea why the usb devices stop working all together...
    My software is completely up to date. And since this computer is less than a month out of the box, I'm puzzled as to why there would be any issues with it. Please let me know if there is a setting that affects this and what I need to do to fix it.
    Thanks!

    Maybe it needs to be plugged into the Mac before it goes to sleep...
    Because when it wasn't letting me type anything I tried every USB port on the Mac itself, as well as the monitors, and even using an extender. Nothing worked.
    However, I did eventually leave the keyboard plugged into the Mac and it woke up without a problem this morning. So, I'm hoping your solution did the trick!
    Thanks

  • [SOLVED]Keyboard not working at installation (so, I can't install)

    Hello,
    When I execute the installation program (from a CD or USB), keyboard works when the GRUB shows up, but when I press enter to run archiso, after the kernel and module loading, I arrive to "archiso login:_" screen with a non-working keyboard, neither my PS2 nor USB keyboard, so I can't login in and, of course, install arch.
    I've been trying to collect some rare data from the kernel loading screen in order to ease finding a solution:
    (after archiso kernel module loaded) -> ohci_hcd 0000:00:04.0: Unlink after no-IRQ? Controller is probably using the wrong IRQ.
    (after setting clock) -> select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out.
    As I said, I tried from a CD and a USB with the same result. I've md5 the images I'd downloaded and they are correct.
    Greetings

  • I dropped my iphone 4s in water and now everytime i plug it in it show a charger pointing to a itunes thing i have tryed to recover it but its not working!! what do i doooo?!?!?!

    i was at the beach and was washing my shoes off then it fell in the water it was working alright but then it died and will not turn on and keeps showing the same thing i have tried to recover the iphone a couple of times but its saying the same thing.. do i have to go get it repaired if so how much... please help!!!

    If you are talking about the warranty from Apple that would have expired when your iPhone hit the water. So it doesn't matter. Just take it to Apple and purchase an out of warranty replacement for it.

  • 6th gen ipod nano not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). tried everything to fix, but still not working... please help

    I have a 6th gen ipod nano that is not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). I get an error that it 'could not be identified properly'. I have tried all tips on the apple site to correct the problem, including unistalling and reinstalling itunes twice. Nothing works. Has anyone tried something that worked that is not part of the Apple support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218)? Thank you in advance for any help!

    I have followed every troubleshooting page on the apple support site yet my ipod nano 6th gen is not recognized by itunes
    I have spent 3 days messing with my pc and have made no real progress.
    Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty.  Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

  • There is a white straight line which comes under the Most Visited, Getting Started and latest headlines and continues to be on the entire firefox. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but does not work.

    Got Plugins symbol at the white straight line...
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == 1 day ago

    Hello Iqbal.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
