Topic: GParted killed my keyboard!

I used GParted for the first time. Everything seemed to work fine. I got it set up and everything, partitioned my drive the way I wanted it.  Everything seemed ok.
Then, I rebooted my computer, and... My keyboard wont respond to anything!
Ctrl - Alt- Del still works, my keyboard works in GParted, but I cant type anything in any other application!!!! HELP!!!

Re: GParted killed my keyboard!

Any details on your system?
Keyboard type / connection (usb, wireless, ps2 ... ) , computer type/motherboard/chipset ...

Gparted can't kill keyboards or any other hardware parts.

Is the keyboard firmly connected? Did you try to disconnect power cable and other cables and connect them back?

*** It is highly recommended to backup any important files before doing resize/move operations. ***

Gparted hasen't killed your motherboard.
If it had you wouldn't be able to use your keyboard in Gparted either, like Class already said Gparted can't kill hardware, try to repair your installation or just format the drive...
