Greetings!

I need help to reinstall WinXP Pro, SP2 on my laptop.

Equipment is as follows:
Compaq Presario A938CA
320 GB Drive
3 GB System Memory
DVDRW Drive

What I need is this: Help making a USB-Drive boot disk with SATA drivers, so I can actually access my install media. Once I have that, I'm experienced enough to do the rest for myself.

So, that's what I need.

Thanks in Advance!
