A couple other things about your boot problem. If you try the 98 disk and have keyboard
functionality, then maybe the 6 discs from XP has a corruption. If you can get booted
into the XP recovery console with the discs, which as Dan pointed out is the place
to fix things, then try the F8 solution that the page at his link is directing you
to do. http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp.htm#How%20to%20access%20Last%20Known%20Good%20Configuratio
If none of this works and the win98 disk makes your keyboard functional, then
you might try to use that method to poke around. For example, try C:\>scanreg /restore
even if this doesn't work, XP may intrepert your need and offer a solution. ALSO,
try the old tricks of holding down the windows button or continuously hitting F8
during the attempt to boot or holding it down.
