Using a USB Device

USB devices function in the system the same way as comparable non-USB devices do, with one exception: by default, USB devices do not function unless an operating system that supports USB is loaded. Windows XP Home and Windows XP Professional do support USB.

To use a USB keyboard or hub that is connected to a USB connector on the notebook during startup (before Windows loads) or in a non-Windows application or utility, enable USB legacy support.
