I have a dell 2400 series, and I want to do a PC restore but everytime I press ctrl, f11 it says keyboard failure and won't allow me to view the restore screen, what can I do besides ordering a restore disk?

First - why the post hijack?

Second - contact Dell. A restore of this type (what you describe) is an

The first thing I would try is another keyboard.
