754574 2009-03-08 02:03:00 I'm doing a clean install of xp on a mates HP machine. I get the machine to boot from the cd and it starts to do is thing loading system drivers.
Then I get to the xp pro setup screen where it asks me to press enter to setup xp or R to recover and so on. Its at this stage the usb keyboard stops working, it doesn't reconise the enter, R, or F3 key. I have tried another usb keyboard and the same. I went into the bios and turned usb from auto to enabled.
And no I don't have access to a ps2 keyboard at the moment.
:thanks

754575 2009-03-08 02:11:00 You could download nlite (www.nliteos.com) and create an unattended install.

You can follow the tutorial here (www.nliteos.com)
