I've managed to get to the setup screen of Windows 7 using my Mac minis wireless keyboard and mouse, but my mouse and keyboard don't seem to work. What do I do? The wireless keyboard and mouse worked fine during the installation of Windows 7, but I can get passed the setup screen without enter my name and computer name.

the bluetooth devices need to pair up in order for them to work. So your best bet is to borrow some wired devices.

Wow, that sucks! I don't have anyone to borrow a keyboard and mouse from, and I don't want to have to buy another keyboard and mouse. I have a MacBook, is there a way to utilise it's keyboard?

Nope. You can't get all the way through a Windows install with a Bluetooth keyboard. That's just how it is.

A spare wired keyboard/mouse is a good thing to have though, especially if your batteries go dead.

Is there a way to install Windows 7 on my MacBook and then copy it over to my Mac mini somehow?
