    So I'm trying to install Windows XP on an X61 Tablet as per the instructions here:

    http://topdark.com/?p=102

    But it refuses to boot up from my USB connected CD/DVD drive, giving me the message, "No valid operating system"

    Granted, I am using a cheap IDE to USB kit from ebay (see here), but I'm not sure if that's the issue. Can anyone point out what I may be overlooking?
