i have an eee pc. i want to convert it to xp. does anybody know how?

You need a usb CDROM/DVDROM and a XP CD or
Visit this site Installing XP on the EeePC
If ull intall using USB it will take time around 1day.
I suggest look for a usb CDROM.

You need external drive & xp installer. I have external drive bought for only 2.8K in other forum
and send it to me for free.

@ Chanbri

That time eee 1000H not yet release po. hehehe
The big lappy there is Lenovo, my cuz just bought it during that time.

actually i was referring to the white asus eepc. i thought it looked liked a 1000h, so i'm guessing that you have a 900??

what do you need 3 OS for?

[GeuS]

insert lang ko.
basically if the Asus logo is placed on the center of the back panel of the lcd, it is Asus 900 and below. But if the logo is placed on the upper-left corner of the back panel (cursive design), it is 901 and above.

Oooh! thats Ivy with her Aus BF. Its eee pc 701 po.
During that time wala pa po yong 900 or 901 or MSI Wind.
I just wanna try something new OS coz I'm always into XP or Vista.

i have to say, i WAS an asus EEE user (4gb, white).

let me just start with what i like:
1. small, handy and light weight especially for me since im a still a student and frequently on the go
2. for a small computer, audio is good and satisfying when playing music at moderate volume
3. love the free sleeve since the laptop is soo small, you might have a hard time finding one to protect it
4. nice finishing. shiny gloss and solid texture

what i dont like? wel...

- 4gb? you gotta be kidding.. (and its not EXACTLY 4gb! only more or less 3.5gb) windows XP is approx 1.5gb. that leaves you only 2gb. MS office is about 700mb. plus browsers and anti virus.. not to mention all the other apps for everyday use. what i had left? was only 600mb after installing the OS, MS office, browsers (mozilla, safari), itunes, McAfee, FoxIt reader. THATS IT!

- speed? freakishly slow! i time it after a FRESH format of OS? about 4minutes and 28 seconds. yes, maybe McAfee may be a little too heavy for it but without an optical drive you really have to protect your laptop from viruses and etc hence, you will be wasting your OS! MAYBE others using a different anti virus software may say otherwise. but never the less, speed is really slow. opening basic apps such as MS Word takes a significant amount of time to open

- screen resolution? soooo pixelized! and what the heck is that graphic enhancer? it didn't do anything to it! all it does is change your view when you move up or down. it does NOT enhance your resolution! watching dvd copy videos was like watching one of those hidden camera movies!

- yeah i know i said earlier on the audio was good at MODERATE volume and during music play. but on videos? you can actually hear cracks along the way. PLUS at max volume? speakers cant catch up with the bass

- battery life? for a small laptop? ironic it consumes the battery just as fast as a 15.4" laptop can. only 2-3hours of usage. 1.5-2hrs on wifi. plus the irritating heat under when used after a while.

- speaking of which, wifi aint so good. sensitivity or range of the wifi radio is not soo good. pair it side by side with another wifi device, the other gets better signal and can detect the signal much quicker than the eee pc.

- keyboard? please! i dont have big hands but dam.. really cramped.




well.. this is just what i think.. some may have a different experience with the said laptop. but personally? even with the EEE PC 900 or 901 out? i dont see MUCH difference between the two.

thats why i got the HP Pavillion Mini Note 2133 Windows Vista Bussiness edition. the BETTER comparison of the Asus EEE PC. im NOT advertising since HP did NOT pay me to say all this. i just want those who are planning to get one to think better prior to buying.

the HP Mini is great. and you can actually go beyond the "basics" with it.


but again, THIS IS JUST WHAT I THINK.. Might vary from others..

Good Day!!

vista? Vista Home Basic will eat your 4gb flash memory like cutting butter with a knife. the OS itself is about 2gb+. not to mention if the processor can actually carry that much load. XP is heavy enough..
