write down your bios information, go to their website (on another computer) get the latest bios update for your motherboard.
I take it you know how to get into bios, if not, F1, F2, and Del keys are common for getting into bios. Press these when the computer first turns on. If these dont work, press and hold a key down on the computer immediately after powering it on. You will get a key stuck error and then options to choose from. BECAREFULL when in bios, certain changes could render your computer useless.
They should have a bios flash that requires a floppy (or multiple floppy disks) Follow the readme that comes with your download.
If that doesnt work, try a different keyboard.
Your system requirements are fine for a XP PRO install.

Look in the bios and see if the keyboard is disabled. Or get a updated version of the bios. (do you have a sticky key? , try a different keyboard, Generic ones will be more apt to work).

Have the neccessary floppies on hand, and follow the prompts. These disks will install the neccessary drivers BEFORE Windows Setup starts, so you can use your keyboard.
