MacBookUser1337 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I'm trying to install Vista over XP from outside of Windows but where it says press any key to boot, none of the key works so it just boots into Windows XP again...can someone help? I have a MacBook. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/46842-press-any-key-to-boot-from-cd-or-dvd-but-which-key/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 ....um..."Press Any Key" means "Press Any Key". Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/46842-press-any-key-to-boot-from-cd-or-dvd-but-which-key/#findComment-335362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ѕӎѳѳ₮ңӌ Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 :) Reminds me of a simpsons episode. Homer: 'Press any key?' Which ones the any key? :D Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/46842-press-any-key-to-boot-from-cd-or-dvd-but-which-key/#findComment-335589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacBookUser1337 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 Please I know any key means any key ....but really, no key works. I usually hit the key wherever my finger lays upon but the problem seems to be the keyboard isn't working.

jrrjrr Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I had the same problem. Try clicking the touchpad button a few times and also try hitting the enter/return key a bunch of times. It took me a few tries booting the Vista DVD before this worked, but eventually it did. Also, if you have Input Remapper installed from before, I would suggest uninstalling it before doing the upgrade and new driver install, and then installing it back afterwards (you will need to disable the new Apple keyboard drivers for it to work right too.) It conflicted big-time for me when I went to install the new Boot Camp 1.2 drivers. Blue screens left and right during driver installs until I cleared it out.

Black Knight Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 This is what you really need. Probably won't fit on a Mac keyboard though.
