    Hey guys i need to perform an unattended installation of xp on a laptop because i cannot complete setup because the keyboard will not work during setup nor will a usb keyboard. My question is do i really need a floppy disk drive because i dont have one. Is there a way around this??

    I'm pretty sure you can use nLite to make an Unattended install. You would need to rip your disc to an ISO though then modify it. However I'm now 100% sure if you can make an unattended.
