Windows 7 installation without mouse or keyboard

[bjorneman]

A couple of years ago my motherboard's usb-curcuit broke. Since then i have been using an pci-usb card. Now i have been wanting to reinstall my windows 7 (or windows 10 if it would make it easier in my case). The problem is that windows does not recognize my usb card when in installation mode (i have installed drivers in my installed copy of windows).

My question is if it is possible to install windows without using mouse or keyboard or if there may be another solution?

You'll need to create a boot device of some sort, with the drivers present. A second drive configured as a DOS boot drive perhaps. The hard part will be configuring an NTFS boot, with batch files to initialise the drivers and so on.

How did you get the USB card's drivers onto Windows in the first place without KB and mouse, if the system USB was broken?

Thanks for the reply!

I used a keyboard with PS/2 port in order to navigate within windows, but which does not seem to work in windows installation.

I have thought of another solution, where i put my ssd in another computer with the same processor, but with another motherboard from the same manufacturer. Is this possible?
