This tutorial is for models
F3SC/Z53SC F3SA/Z53SA F3SV/Z53SV
You can get the XP cd driver here
http://www.asustreiber.de/index.php/downloads/folder/19-treiber-cds
For the following models:
F3Sc -F3E -F3F -F3JA/JP -F3JC/JM -F3M -F3P -F3T/TC... and other models.
Record the image to a cd with a burning program and you have a full drivers instalation cd.
but also:
I believe that this tutorial works for al computers that have the Intel 945/965GM/PM chipset .
You can test the chipset and download INF and INTEL MATRIX STORAGE using this utility:
(http://downloadcenter.intel.com/download.aspx?url=/13799/eng/ChipUtil.exe&DwnldId=13799&ProductID=861&lang=eng)
Follow this list for downloads and installation:
I recommend to uncompress and record it on a cd /dvd or in a pen-drive because it makes the installation easier.

When windows installation finishes follow this steps and reboot when proponed:

4- AUDIO
F3SA users. If you still don’t have sound install the modem, go to DEVICE MANAGER and see if you have a yellow balloon on a PCI DEVICE.
Right click on it and chose update driver. Say no to automatic and point it to WDM folder in your SOUND DRIVER. It should find new hardware and install it.
Now you must have sound.

F3SA users gets a yellow balloon on PCI memory device because it has no XP controllers for Intell turbo memory. It just works on VISTA.
You can now format the partition D by clicking on it. When finish creates a folder named (Documents ………..) go to start point to MY DOCUMENTS, right click and chose PROPERTIES. Go to TARGET and point to D:\DOCUMENTS………….
Say YES and OK.
Now you have your documents on the second partition and if you have to reinstall the system format just C partition and you don’t lose anything on D partition.
Before make a reinstall clear all user and administrator passwords.
