Computer will not boot up from diskette or CD-ROM

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



My computer running Win 2000 Pro. does not recognize the keyboard or the
mouse. I tried to boot from a DOS diskette or a Norton Utilites CD-ROM but it
goes to Windows and ask for ctrl-alt-del. I cannot inturrupt the boot setup
either.

Suggestions?
