Cannot access Bios or Boot Menu during startup
I'm using a Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H motherboard and installed some DVD drives to rip music off of CDs. Doing so, the boot order got messed up and I was unable to get to the Boot Menu (F12 key) or the Bios (using the delete key). I tried a wired USB keyboard and tried using the old-fashioned PS/2 socket, but none of these worked. If I enter the bios using the USB keyboard through the booted Windows 10 menus, the keyboard works fine to navigate. I finally had to manually switch SATA ports (trial and error because I did not know which SATA socket I needed to boot off of) for my SSD boot drive to get my computer working, but I would like to find a fix for not getting being able to access the Bios or Boot Menu from a cold startup in case I ever have to do this again.
I also tried using a CD Boot Rescue disk, but it would not boot using a flash drive or any of my DVD drives.
