i try out this method, but i still get the blue screen...

anyone care to shed some light?

anyway the laptop model is presario CQ45-129TX

francischuahcw,

i got the blue screen after i press any key to boot from cd.. after a while it will give me blue screen...

from the boot order, i can see the USB floppy, USB cd/dvd rom drive, and USB diskette on key/usb hardisk...i only can play with the boot order, i cant change any value..

seems this bios setup not much configuration you can play with...

the error code during blue screen is 0x0000007B (0xF7C26524, pXC0000034,0X00000000, 0X00000000)

the slipstream method is the way to install xp without needed external usb floppy, am i right?
