I've started installing XP onto my iMac, and it's at the screen where it asks what partition it should be installed on. In order to select a partition, I'm supposed to use the arrow keys on my keyboard, but my keyboard doesn't seem to be recognized by the installer, as well as other keyboards I've tried. So now I can't install windows. How can I get it to work?
 
I have no solution, but I am going to offer an alternative.

Virtualbox is a free kernal emulator. You can easily install Windows and other OS's within it. I use it and it works a dream. And you don't need to re-boot your computer.
