Re: Shift + F10 doesn't work!!!!!

If you are using a USB keyboard try plugging in a PS2 keyboard before starting the install to see if that allows the keys to work.

I have been trying to install XP Pro Sp2 onto my new computer which has a
SATA2 drive. It would get stuck at 34 min which I know is where hardware
sticks. I looked at what some MVP's replied to about the possible solution
but to view the text files you have to hit Shift + F10 which on my mobo
doesn't work. MSI K9N Neo-F mobo 1000MHz, OCZ 1GB ram DDR2 667, AMD 2.4 AM2
socket dual core, gigabyte video ati x1300 PCI express16, sony dvd/cd burner
ide, nec floppy ide, wd caviar se wd1600js sata 2 160gb. Please don't tell
me the same response for the 34 minute hardware sticking point. I have tried
those keys at all points of the boot process.

Thankyou for your help,
