Just installed Windows XP on my Window ME computer and
chose the dual boot option. I have a USB keyboard and
because the USB drivers are not loaded until the OS starts
up, I cannot toggle the OS choices on the dual boot screen
b/c the keyboard is not recognized. Is there anyway to
load the USB drivers before the OS starts? Obviously a
PS/2 input keyboard will work, but curious if there was
anyway to set up my USB keyboard. Thanks in advance.

If you use a PS/2 or a serial mouse then you could
use a third-party boot loader such as XOSL. It responds
to mouse commands.
