Optionally you can easily download the four oem bios files that paired with the signature in the bios and the correct lenovo serial will give you a legit preactivated and unattended installation. There's no need to buy floppy or cdrom drivers, just use nlite to add the AMD AHCI drivers to the vanilla installation, then use "usb multiboot" to transfer the installation on a cheap USBkey or SDcard. Install lenovo system update and connect it to the internet and let Lenovo system update install all drivers and then do a reboot.
press F6 upon windows xp installation and do the routine xp installation. You also need a IBM usb floppy that i bought from ebay for $10. you just need to download AMD ahci driver and install put it on a floppy disk.

Then i restarted the thinkpad, pressed enter to go into the menu and go into the boot from usb flash, it shows the name of my flash drive as a option.
i had an xp iso and mounted it using daemon tools and then used WinToFlash to put it onto a USB drive. so i found a tutorial somebody did for an EeePC or some other netbook. I've never done this before using usb, and have done it before using a disc, but am not tech saavy or really know what im doing, just following guides.
I am having trouble installing windows xp on my lenovo thinkpad x100e.
