Hello,
I am trying to install Windows XP in BootCamp but when I reboot and the Windows installer starts and I have to choose a partition to install windows, the keyboard won't work. I tried with two different apple keyboards (wired) but still they won't work!

I have no idea..but I will tell you that I tried to do the "Repair" with my XP professional disc and it asked for SP2 which I didn't have and the rest of the story isn't pretty...couldn't even open in safe mode..just keep recycling to the SP2 prompt.....

This is when I decided to get a Mac...I've got socks older than my last 3 pc's

When starting up clear the PRAM by holding down the command, option, P and R keys. Your computer will restart, make the startup sound then proceed with setup as usual.
