    Hi, I am having such a bad day. I have downloaded a program and after opening it, weirdest thing happened as I am able to enter the window with no problem, yet as long as i start clicking anything in my desktop, it pops up a message preventing me to get assess to basically anything. And I realize that the retail didn't give me a legit copy of windows xp home cd (it's already installed in my computer and there is a genuine key underneath my laptop), so I dl xp home and burn it into a cd, but somehow it's not able to boot from it.

    So i abandoned the idea of repairing and aimed for my last resort - recovery cd - to wipe out my c drive and restore it to pre-used state. HOWEVER, after the computer seemingly took all the requried information from the recovery CDs, it asks me for "please insert Driver CD into CD-ROM and press any key to continue" I dont have such CD from the retailer. I tried to dl some drivers for my A8JM and burned on a blank cd, but it's not reconized as legit driver cd.

    I AM STUCK!

    How the hack can I obtain SUCH required driver cd?

    Desperately need help, thanks in advance!
