After entering the windows environment, the DVD Drive is not detected by th OS. I started to troubleshoot my laptop by scanning all the drive from viruses, make sure the batteries is fully charged, make sure there is no external card plugged, and there is still booting problem in my laptop. Then I brought it to the technician where I bought the laptop and the technician says "this kind of laptop is not supported by XP" and then sugested to iinstall Vista instead, after Vista installed, everything is normal but i don't likes Vista :(

Then I started googling, what a suprised lot of peoples installed XP on CQ40 successfully. The hopes rise again :), I started to try various version of Windows XP, SP1, SP2, SP3, Black Edition, Etc.
