    hi guys
    I formatted my FE today and installed a copy of xp pro that I have instead of using the recovery

    at this moment...
    I'm trying to make the hotkeys (volume control/fn/s1,2) and touchpad to work
    (all other things work properly :))

    i think i can make the hotkeys work by just installing the right program from the recovery CD... and i am not sure which CD it is in

    also, does anyone know how this touchpad files in driver work?
    i tried add hardware feature on window and it says that ini file (didn't really check but assuming it ends with ini... since it's readable with notepad) does not contain any info on a hardware... there doesn't seem to be a program to actually install touchpad driver either..

    some of you might wonder why i am going through all this instead of just runnin the actual recovery CD...

    ummm the issue with my case is that
    I have installed korean version of windows xp
    and recovery CD just wouldn't start because it doesn't recognize the language
    (i mean it's not like english doens't work on windows or the recovery CD has to run in korean :mad: )

    well...
    thank you for any inputs :)
