jimd Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Does anyone know why or have a workaround for installing Vista on a MBP? Everytime I start from the disk, even a completely formatted disk, I have no mouse or keyboard so I just sit at the install screen.

Alex Oughton Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 This occasionally happened to me. The way I fixed it was to plug in an external mouse, and then disconnect that mouse. For some reason this caused the internal keyboard and trackpad to then start working.

nevermind1331 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 5308 has that problem with the intel macs it seems. i even tried two sets of other keyboards. my adive, get 5342, it doesnt have that problem. i dont think unplugging and plugging back in will work, it nevr did for me. good luck.

jimd Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 Thanks. I actually have 5342, but can't get it activated so that puts me back to 5308.
