Are you by any chance re-using the hard drive with pre installed windows from your previous system? I know its a new build but is that the case or is it a new copy of windows on a completely new machine?
im reusing my hardrive
Some questions to ask.
New Copy of windows on new machine, and it wont install on clean drive?
Old harddrive with new copy of windows, using the cd to boot?
Old harddrive, and trying to get the new pc to loggin on a new computer (without a fresh install of windows)?
Thoughts:
If you are trying to save an old windows, because you didnt want to fresh install. It is difficult and honestly annoying at times to get it to work (and you get driver residue). Your drivers are from the old computer, and they are trying to run your current computer but nothing is matching up so its failing. The simpliest solution is to do a fresh install, this also will yield the least amount of problems overall. Second solution, is if it allows you to run a repair with your windows disk, see if it will load drivers, if it will install your drivers disk for your mobo during this time and hopefully that works. About the keyboard and mouse problem, its most likely your windows and mobo cant interact for your usb ports to work.
