CQ40-108TU and CQ40-121TU Windows XP Driver

You have Four options:

1. Buy a USB floppy disk drive, make a floppy with the drivers, and point windows to that when you see "Press F6 if you need to install third party drivers" on the bottom of the screen. This is least desirable, as you will probably need the floppy drive and disk again.

2. If the computer recognizes the USB ports on boot (not all Intel based systems do), then you can put the drivers on a USB thumb drive and point windows to it as above. Better option than #1, as you can use the thumb drive again, but it depends on of your motherboard sees the USB ports on boot.

3. Best option is to slipstream the SATA drivers into your installation media. Suggest you google "slipstream WIndows XP'. and slipstream SP3 while you are at it.
You can also slipstream other drivers, such as LAN, Audio, Video, etc.

4. using Nlite Software to install windows XP on you notebook
