@Girderman - Yes i know they DID sell it, but i called them and they said they dont stock the product any more..
I already changed the boot order.. its like it just ignores the USB stuff, like its not bootable or something.
Your suggestion is much more expensive than Kodi's.
Plus, you will have to install XP while its in the Laptop.. cant install it in one PC and then move it to the laptop.

@Kodi - Thats a great guide, just got a few questions.

Page 4, Step 2 - Format the Drive.
How do i do this? The only way i know is to put in the windows XP CD, and boot to it.. and then choose the option to format the drive. Is this correct?
Or can i format once booted into windows?

Thats all so far..
I'll have to buy the converter, and i'll give it a try on monday, and let you know how it goes.
