    Hi Guys,

    Can I get some help on installing XP on my new Asus M51S AS037G.
    I have a XP cd and when I reboot my laptop, it reads the cd but after while it gives me a blue screen error.

    Also would appreciate the links to the drivers for this laptop as I has new hardware.

    thnx

    Your XP CD does not have SP1 with PCI Express driver, get another XP CD with at least SP1 or slipstream SP2 with your XP CD.
