Installing XP with USB keyboard. The F8 Button

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Hello all. I am attempting a clean install of Windows
XP. My new computer does not have PS2 ports for a mouse
and keyboard. Therefore I am using a USB keyboard.
Unfortunately I can not accept the license agreement by
hitting F8 on my USB keyboard. Any workarounds or ideas?
Thanks for your time!

Press the F-Lock key, then F8.

In your bios, enable legacy USB support
