USB keyboard support for installing windows xp

[army20]

Hello All

I have no PS/2 port on my computer and I need to install Windows XP with a USB keyboard. Is there any way to load a driver for that ?

Look in the BIOS Setup for "USB Keyboard Emulation" option or similar. The USB keyboard will then be identified as a standard PS/2 item and installation can proceed normally.

I wish I could attach one of my hundreds of usb to ps/2 addaptors to this post that I have right here, within an arm's reach. However, you should be able to pick one up at any office supply shop. That is, if your BIOS does not support emulation as suggested by LLXX.

if there's no usb emulation, try enabling legacy usb for devices or something like that.

it's the old full speed (usb 1.1) support.
