    I was repartitioning my HD with PartitionMagic, and it encountered an error, now the HD won't start-up due to "a disk read error." How do I get this Asus W5F to boot of the WinXP CD, so I can reformat and install? :confused:

    Never mind I finally got it to boot off the CD using F2. Couldn't get rid of the gnarly partition, though, because PartitionMagic keeps hanging on the disk.
