Ok, I've had the Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 4000 for about a year now (I got it with a wireless mouse too). It all works great, until now. I just removed from my Xbox a 200 GB Maxtor hard drive. Then I installed it on Primary Master on my PC. I went into my BIOS and it recognizes it, but then when I boot up my PC, my keyboard keys are all f'd up. Things like R becomes 6, Y becomes Backspace, Enter becomes 1, and vise versa.This is really screwy. I have the driver installed on my PC, and I've tried to change the USB port of the receiver, but no luck.

I've never seen anything like this before. Any ideas to how installing a hard drive could affect my USB's? Also, how do I remake my Xbox hard drive into a PC hard drive? Windows won't recognize it.

P.S. I am using an old P/S 2 keyboard to type this. I'd prefer not going back to it Sad

Most importantly How do I get my Xbox hard drive usable for my PC? Formatting it with Windows install CD's failed and Windows won't recognize it...

the Keyboard i have No Idea =(

But with the Xbox HDD just Unlock it then Delete the Partition and make a NTFS  Partition and format it.

A good program to do that is Partition Magic.

I got the keyboard working Smiley I had another one lying around ( I have two sets of the keyboards / mice).

Partition Magic would unlock it for me? Does it have to be on Master, or can it be on Slave?

Partition Magic 8 gives me this error upon starting the application:

Init failed: Error 100.
Partition table is bad

Any ideas?

Lol, I had to use my Xboxhdm for it. I just didn't like it because I had to move around my DVD drive and change the jumpers Sad

But I got it all done! Partition Magic recognizes it as unformatted space Smiley
