Recovery Consol - F8 Key

I'm trying to restore my system which isn't booting up Windows XP. It's
locked into looking for a "user" who doesn't exist with the only optrion to
shut down.
I am trying to use "Recovery Console".
When I get to "set up Windows XP" and press enter the option to accept the
licence agreement requires the 'F8' KEY to be pressed.
F8 gets no reaction and I have to exit or go to "repair" which has been
fruitless so far.

Can anyone give me any advice?

Thanks

Jim
 
Hi,

Are any of the function keys active? Is this a USB keyboard and does the
system support using one at this level? Some systems have an F-lock key that
must be pressed first.
