hello,

let me make is clear that it is a different question from other related questions already posted here.

Here is the scenario,No OS is installed in Computer. I am trying to install windows xp professional but due to keyboard failure I can't make it.

PS/2 keyboard is not working at all.

USB keyboard is working only before POST,I can work in BIOS.

As soon as it starts booting from CD disc,keyboard fails to respond.

And I can't go ahead from this message

Press any key to boot from CD......
