Hi guys,

First of all let me tell you the keyboard I am using. It is a Microsoft Natural Multimedia keyboard which is PS/2 but the PS/2 port on my computer seems to have shorted out so I have obtained a PS/2 to USB dongle which I have been using fine on my current installation.

Problem is that when I try to reinstall my o/s XP Home it goes into the DOS part of the setup fine but when it asks me to press R to repair or Enter to continue etc it doesn't seem to recognise the keyboard.

I have got the USB support turned on in the BIOS so that ain't the problem. Think it might be the dongle???

Anyone know how I can get around this?

Thanks
