Trying to install Windows 2000 on an Ergo/Twinhead laptop.

When I first tried it, came up with a Blue Screen error telling me
the
BIOS was not ACPI compliant. I found this:-

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=256841

So, I hit F7 as it suggests and it seems to go further. Now however,
I
get an error message saying setup cannot find keyboard.

Any ideas? (Yes, kbd works).

So far I've tried:-
1. Looking to disable ACPI in BIOS - no option
2. A usb keyboard - doesnt recognise
3. A newer BIOS - this is the newest
