You have no SATA drivers in the Win xp installation disk.

You can either slipstream SATA drivers into the Win XP installation disk.
Use google for more information.

OR

Download the SATA drivers from Fujitsu website.
copy the drivers into a Floppy disc. Also get a USB Floppy drive. Make sure the brand of the FDD is Teac. Most other brands don't work.
On installation of Win XP, press F6 for installation of other SCSI drivers etc.
You will not see any response on pressing F6 immediately. Wait a while, windows will detect your floppy and ask you to install the SATA drivers.

After installation of SATA drivers, DO NOT plug out the USB FDD. The drivers will be required for the second time. (If you are using other brands of FDD other than Teac, the OS will NOT be able to recognize the FDD and the drivers cannot be installed).

After that, continue the installation as per normal.

thanks for your reply! will get my friend to try it out... cheers!

I'm going SP this year, like to find out more about the Fujitsu E8210.

I heard it's very hot & the battery life is low.

 

[jj_lord]

I've got the E8210. It's really hot.. cannot use on ur lap one... Hmm but performance is superb.. battery life is not that bad.. could get 4 hours with wifi on and screen set to lowest

 

[junwen90]

wa...u cfm can last for 4 hours ar? the batt life from wad i noe like quite fast run out leh... ur 4 hours is with modular bay the extra batt or juz 1 6 cell batt alone?

 

[zxyong]

to add on to wad shenbin had said, that plastic cost 60 bucks!!

LOL, But its just like at most 500g lighter thats it?

Thats strange, they dont provide the weight saver thingy?

Then whats the point?
Then they shouldnt put the weight as XXXkg(w/ weight saver )

Some time I may leave it on for a long time so does the hot matters? And do I need to buy a cooling pad? If does, what kind should I buy?

cooling pad looks nice though, but is it sold at comp shops? and how much approximately does it cost?

i think it is kinda true.

1) the battery is still brand new.
2) the battery itself should be a 5200Mah 6Cell battery which can last approximately 4 hours or more depending on what usage
3) his/her model is E8210 which is running on intel processor which is known as battery saver compared to models running on AMD. (AMD suck up battery 30%-40% more than Intel laptops)
4) his OS is set to "battery saver" mode.

You may want to consider it if heat is a concern to you.

Normally for me, even though my AMD heat was slightly more, I used a FAN to blow it.

good one cost around $40. you may find one in Challenger!

$40? that sounds quite affordable, i will consider buying that

Erm the E8210 comes with an 8cell batt... so yeap i'm not kidding when i say it can reach 4 hours. Erm the heat might be an issue.. darn i can't use it on my lap.. really hot.
Hmm my OS is set to normal mode leh.. and yeap it's running a duo core intel processor... Now the new core 2 duo one might give u longer batt life than mine..

 

[jj_lord]

Oh btw i use a cooler master one for my E8210... the 3 fan one.. hmm improves the heat problem slightly... But still very hot.. But hdd temp is at 40deg from normal use.. so not so bad =)

The heat is from the graphic card =(

How much does the cooler master cost?? And what the normal temperature for laptop? And what software is used to measure it?
