A7V8X-X + Keyboard PS/2 + Windows XP

[Pirineus]

First of all excuse my horrible english :-(

I'm trying to install windows xp sp1 in a A7V8X-X with a AMD XP 2600, and
during the installation, when I'have to fill some data using keyboard, it
doesn't work.

This keyobard is PS/2 and it works well in the BIOS and it works well in
other computers too.

I found in Internet some other people with the same problem, and they say
that the problem is the asus motherboard, and that the unique solution is to
buy a USB Keyboard :-(

Any idea ?

Thanks, Pirineus.

I have the same board using a standard PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 Logitech
cordless mouse (not optical) and do not have any problems loading XP.
I would suggest you just try a diffrent PS/2 keyboard and see what happens.
If you do not have a spare keyboard, just buy the cheapest one you can find
for this test and do not waste your money on USB just yet.
Don`t forget that every time you try to load XP you need to reformat the
hard drive to ensure that the copy you are installing is the only copy
there.

Which just goes to show that your original keyboard was at fault.
