It doesn't put too many ports on the side if you know what I mean. These days the laptop comes with just way too many ports, making it look weird when you carry it around. I think it was the Asus A2JS [NOTE: post the link as well] that came up with port enclosers, but then they are crappy when you actually have to connect something fast to your laptop. So, this one has a healthy design of just enough ports for a power user. :-)!! That should be the best design aspect of the laptop ma!! Btw, "good reading material"?? This one? Wokey,whatever you say!! ;-)! Well, as far as I am concerned, the bright screen and the fact that the laptop is indeed quite a powerful machine.

Windows XP doesnt have support for many SATA controllers. U need to put in the "F6 floppy" and show XP setup the drivers for the SATA controller in order for the hdd to be detected. Fedora being new, it easily does that. U can slipstream the SATA driver with the windows XP install, or install it using a USB flash drive. Cuz u aint got a floppy..... Because, the bloody hard disk is not getting detected as far as Windows XP prof is concerned.

I think thats cuz its a SATA drive. Windows XP doesnt have support for many SATA controllers. U need to put in the “F6 floppy” and show XP setup the drivers for the SATA controller in order for the hdd to be detected.

Fedora being new, it easily does that.

U can slipstream the SATA driver with the windows XP install, or install it using a USB flash drive.

Cuz u aint got a floppy…..
