Hello,
two days before i install xp
today usb keyboard and mouse work in bios but not working in winxp sp2, usb ports works and asking to install keyboard and mouse but i cannot do anything
 
do you have PS/2 ports on your motherboard? if yes, go borrow a USB to PS/2 adapter and see if your keyboard works then.

do you have some custom galactic space age keyboard and mouse? I can't imagine why a motherboard cannot deal with a simple keyboard.
