    I just bought a Lenovo Ideapad s10. It's a great netbook. The problem is that I need to type in Korean. I tried installing Korean input via the regular way (Control Panel, Regional languages, Add new language, etc). Unfortunately, I need the Windows XP CD. That's not the problem. I do have the CD. The problem is that the netbook doesn't have a CD-ROM drive. How would I go about installing the Korean language so I can type in Korean?
    Thank you. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    put the XP disc in a server on the network the laptop can map to. Then share the CDROM drive.

    do you have access to other computer?
    from there, you can copy the cd into either ext hdd or flashdrive,

    and when you tried to add korean, it ask for windows cd, right? at that point, that should be option "browse" on lower right side, choose that and browse to the flashdrive or hdd, go to the folder "i386" then press ok, it should work now :)

    edit: added more info :)
