Unable to use Keyboard to boot from CD

[ESGTech]

Hello,

I have a HP Pavilion p7-1120 that is getting a Corrupt Windows error when trying to log on. Tried to go through troubleshooting with recovery and reset, both failed. Trying to use a Disc but when prompted to "press any key" non of the key on the keyboard load the Disc. Also tried to access the Bios or any of the F key funsctions with no luck. There is no PS/2 port, and have tried 3 different keyboards, 1 of them is from HP. I have tried different USB port, but all the keyboards work when it takes you to advanced repair options. Thanks for any help you can provide.
