Guest Eric Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Does anyone have any suggestions on how to install XP with USB keyboard and mouse? In the middle of installation process, it requests for continuing installation with USB devices even thought XP has difficulty to recognize them, then USB keyboard and mouse are not function at this stage, and XP cannot finish the rest of installation process without confirmation. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to skip this kind of questions during the installation? Thanks in advance for any suggestions Eric

So, borrow a non-USB keyboard and mouse for this occasion. HTH -pk
Guest Bob I Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Re: How to install XP with USB keyboard and mouse? Sounds like the BIOS is not set for Legacy USB devices. Get a PS/2 keyboard and change it.

Guest Eric Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Re: How to install XP with USB keyboard and mouse? Thank everyone for suggestions I have checked BIOS, which support USB keyboard and mouse, and my USB keyboard and mouse are still working during the initial stage of XP installation, I can click my mouse to confirm Y/N for other devices, and type F8 to agree for XP installation. Does you have any suggestions why the USB keyboard and mouse stop working in the middle of installation process?

Guest R. McCarty Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Re: How to install XP with USB keyboard and mouse? What motherboard/chipset does your PC use ? Some Wireless mice/keyboard combinations can have their receiver connected either with USB or by using a USB-to-PS2 adapter plug. If you have that converter, I would try and install XP with the receiver connected to a PS2 socket.

Guest thaerr Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 RE: How to install XP with USB keyboard and mouse? I'm having this problem as well. I don't think it has anything to do with your keyboard being a usb keyboard. I'm having the problem using a ps2 keyboard. From what I understand, XP sp1 has issues on installation with keyboard drivers. I'm told that you may be able to install the keyboard drivers via a floppy boot disk as a workaround, but I haven't been able to check this out just yet.
