Ok. I have an Essential 933c from Gateway.. one of those little boxes with no ps/2 connections.. just USB..
well when I try to install W2k3 server I get to the point where it wants me to hit enter to install and it does nothing.. no keyboard reponse.. I tried like three different keyboards.. I thought it may be a driver issue for the usb ports.. anyone else have any ideas.. I wonder if there is a ps/2 card that will fit and let me atleast install the server..

thanks..

I'm surprised that the Win2K3 does not recognize the USB right away since I know XP does in the same circumstances.

You might be able to get past this problem if you create an Unattend.txt file and provide all of the answers needed upfront.

Sorry it has been a while since I did that so I really can't walk you throught he process but I believe that will resolve your problem. You just need to get your install past the point where USB support has been enabled.
 
I may try that this weekend when I get a chance.
