I really do think you'll be saving yourself a lot of headache if you find a
PS/2 Keyboard. What you are seing is an effect of the machine booting from
your BIOS, so it sees the USB but the installation cannot see it that way.
If you refuse, your best alternative would probably be an 'Unattended
Install'. I've used nLite myself to burn a ISO from my installation disc,
but the trouble is, you'll need an installed system to to do it.
There are other methods, I think - google for the term and you'll hit on
most of them.
