I am using an Apple MacBook Pro. I am trying to install a Windows XP Pro OS. The first screen is a licensing screen. It asks you to type F8 to accept. My F8 Key is reserved for the keyboard backlight brightness. I have captured the input but I only see a response from the Keyboard backlight. Subsequently, I can't continue with the Windows installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
F8 not working at all for me.

On a MacBook Pro.

I am booting WinXP SP2 install from an ISO image (since the CD option is disabled!!!) - it gets to the licensing screen and asks me to press F8 to accept.

I've tried F8 and fn+F8. I tried changing my keyboard preferences to use the function keys as F-keys by default and tried again. Still no dice.

I can page-down (using FN-dn), I can hit escape, but I still can't F8! I even attached an external keyboard, and hit F8. No response (page up and down work fine on that keyboard). Any ideas?
