i430VX Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Check the BIOS and see if USB legacy is an option. Turn it on if so. Other than that, I don't know.

i430VX Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Can you try a different USB keyboard and different ports on the PC?
bluebolt Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Unfortunately, you haven't given us much information about your hardware, but "computer is too new" may mean you're running up against this problem: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/175782-ntdetect-failed-during-setup/?do=findComment&comment=1126466 In which case--if your motherboard does not have a PS/2 connector--there is no way to make your USB ports work in Windows 2000 Professional.

jumper Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 Try disabling BIOS -> USB legacy once it is no longer needed. Try connecting the keyboard with and without a USB hub. Does a USB mouse work?
i430VX Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Would an object like this be of use? https://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-32bit-Dual-PS2-PS-2-Card-PC-Keyboard-Mouse-PCI-2Ports-PS-2-without-USB-/181671723885 Or would that require a driver the Windows 2000 installation would not have at Install?

I'm going to buy this object, thanks.
tomasz86 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 You could also just use WINNT.SIF to make your installation process fully automatic so that no user input will be required. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/19/ You could then use your mouse to install the USB drivers once the OS is running. That is what I use when testing Windows 2000 installation in a VM. Alternatively you could just integrate the USB drivers into your Windows source before the installation.
ruthan Posted Monday at 01:59 PM Posted Monday at 01:59 PM (edited) I hit the same problem with Dell Poweredge 1950 server, no PS/2 ports, no USB settings it the Bios. Could additional USB controller help, which one si the most compatible? Unattended install has small problem, im afraid that they is probably no way how to select partition on Win2000 should be installed.. I have tried also Ventoy USB instead of direct USB install, but on this machine, its allways blue screening, step further. It really looks like some fixable bug, that for F6 is keyboard working fine, but not after Sort of give up way is install Windows 2000 on the other machine or virtual and restore image on the target machine and use some P2P - physical to physical adjusted, in case, when its not booting.. I have the best experience with Paragon tools for P2P.. I checked all of these PS/2 PCI/ PCI-e cards, you look at close, there is everytime some fine print about not supported by BIOS.. and you can find some USB chip on these cards, which means that you need USB driver to make it working.. So its not solution for such problem. I wonder some machines still have COm - serial ports, long time ago we used serial mice.. maybe, maybe someone did some keyboard for serial port, some servers, have keyboard with serials ports.. but i never was familiar with it, if working for bioses etc.. Update: At least SP2 is working with back USB ports, im using Lenovo keyboard, but its probably does not matter, all floppy has to be at the back port, even when F6 phase it working on the front port. I have tried additional PCI-E USB2 controller with MOS chip, but it does not worked. Edited Monday at 04:37 PM by ruthan
