I want to format a hard disk and boot from a CD, but at the point where it says "Boot from CD, press any key" or something, the keyboard stops functioning so the computer just reboots normally. Why does the keyboard stop working just then and works at all other times?

if you are using a usb k/b check in the bios it is enabled for dos
try another k/b

Go into your Bios and change the boot order so thar CD-Rom will be first in power up order. The put your CD in and power up.
