bun, bun, trecand peste asta, un tutorial pas cu pas, dar pas cu pas nu vrajeala stie cineva pentru instalarea XP ? Eu urmez totusi pas cu pas de pe forum.eeeuser.com si tot felul de erori imi da ? care e treaba ? tre dus ceva la garantie sau care e faza ? Ultima eroare era "unknown hardware error " . Si faza e ca nici Linuxul nu il mai pot pune la loc si simt ca nu apuca saptamana viitoare fara sa fie aruncat pe fereastra.

Basic installation method
Pre-requisites for an easy install:
A legal copy of Windows XP
An external USB2 CD/DVD reader
Optional: nLite to reduce the size of the Windows installation.
Steps for an easy installation:
Optional: Make your own nLited version of Windows XP. nLite allows you to decrease the size of Windows XP by removing unnecessary components and files. Options are very clearly labelled. If you're not sure about a component to remove, just leave it there. Burn your new custom Windows XP CD.
Boot from your Windows CD (either original or nLited version). Plug your USB CD drive, power up your eee pc and press [Esc] at the BIOS boot screen. Select your external CD reader which should appear in the list. (There is no need to change your boot-up sequence in the BIOS if you press Esc at boot time).
Windows installation will start. When given the option to choose where Windows should be installed, select your SSD. You can repartition the SSD to one single partition within Windows XP's setup. Format the SSD in either FAT 32 or NTFS.
NOTE: A lot of people have reported receieving an NTLDR Error after XP has rebooted - this happens when you do not delete all of the partitions before installing. You should delete them all - including the one marked partition 1 [BIOS] to leave a single partition. Search the forum for more information.
Continue Windows installation as normal.
Once Windows is installed and boots, install all drivers provided by ASUS (they don't install completely when slipstreamed in XP with nLite).
Make sure that OS installation is set to FINISHED in the BIOS. Otherwise, USB2 ports won't be detected as USB2.
That's it!
If you didn't nLite you Windows version, you'll soon discover that most of your SSD is now full and that there is no space to install other applications (Office, etc.). ASUS provides in its manual very easy instructions to disable SSD-hungry components. The modifications proposed by ASUS are safe and are the first steps to consider for newbies. It's a good idea to get a large SD card to store extra files or install extra applications.
Installation method to keep SSD writes to a minimum
Forum member TheBronze gave some useful ideas for keeping writes to the minimum when running Windows XP on the Eee. The following information was provided by him (edited for wiki use):
The SSD has a limited (but lengthy) lifespan due to the nature of the device and its architecture. We also know that Windows spends a good amount of its time writing files to the C drive, filling it up with temporary files, cookies, update files, and more.
So how do we reduce or eliminate this problem? Well, you can't make it go away; it's just how Windows works. But you can send it to the back forty! This will require an additional SDHC card to occupy your slot. Think of it as a permanent solution, because if you make the changes below and then pull out your SDHC to swap in an MP3 collection, you are going to crash your system. I'm approaching these tasks as a system administrator, so if I get confusing, call me out on it and I will clarify.
Below, I will cover making changes to the following:
Assigning a permanent drive letter to an external device (SDHC, but you could use a USB drive)
Moving the Page File off of the C drive
Moving the My Documents folder off of the C drive
Moving the Temp and tmp directories off of the C drive
Moving User Variables off of the C Drive
Moving Application Data off the C drive
Using FileMon to detect further writes made to the SSD
Other considerations
Steps
Assigning a permanent drive letter to an external device
Right-click My Computer and select Manage
Expand Storage
Click on Disk Management
Identify your newly installed device
Right-click in the area next to the part that says Disk 0 or 1 or other (probably Disk 1, as your built-in disk should be Disk 0)
Select “Change Drive Letter and Paths”
Select your favorite letter and click OK, then click OK again to the warning about breaking programs.
Note: Any of the steps below can be done on a USB drive, but if you forget to install it when you boot, you will probably see a blue screen.
Moving the Page File off of the C drive
Right-click My Computer and select Properties
Click on the Advanced tab
Select Settings under Performance
Select Advanced
Under Virtual Memory click Change
Select your existing C drive and set it to “No paging file”
Select your newly assigned SDHC drive letter and assign a value not exceeding twice your physical RAM
Click OK.
Moving the My Documents Folder off of the C drive
Right-click My Documents and select Properties
Under Target, select Move and navigate to a new location on your newly assigned drive
If you have not created a directory yet, you can select Make New Folder and name it
Click OK.
Your files will be moved to the new location. The Target window should now have your new location.
Moving the Temp and tmp directories off of the C drive
Right-click My Computer and select Properties
Select Environment Variables under the Advanced tab
Scroll down to TEMP and TMP and change them both to a path on your SDHC drive. It may be wise to use the same two names for these directories.
Moving User Variables off of the C drive
While in the Environment Variables section, edit both the TEMP and TMP values to point to your newly moved location for your documents and settings if this has not already been done automatically.
Moving Application Data off the C drive
Copy C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data to a flash drive or SDHC
Go into Start, select Run… and type in regedit
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Double click the AppData field and replace the text in the box to the path where you copied the Application Data folder to.
Click OK then close out of the registry editor and reboot
Detecting further SSD writes
To see if any other programs or processes are writing to the SSD you can use a program called FileMon from Sysinternals.
* Other considerations
Office. If you install Office XP, 2003, or 2007 and aren't careful during the install, the source files will be written to your C drive. This is around 300MB of space. You can either delete the MSOCache folder on the C drive or just move it to, for example, an external USB drive or HDD; this is useful if you need to make changes while on the road.
Windows Update. Most Windows Update procedures result in the creation of an uninstall folder in the Windows root directory. These files vary in size from around a hundred kilobytes to a hundred megabytes; my current XP install has about 130 of these folders. You can delete them with no adverse effects, unless for some reason you need to uninstall a recent update.
Recycle Bin. You can do a few things to minimize space wasted here:
Set it to less than 10% of the C drive (10% is the default). Given the small capacity of the SSD, it might be annoying to be notified frequently to empty it.
Check the box that says “Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted”. This can become problematic if you accidentally delete files.
Or you can just remember to press Shift+Del when deleting files. Windows will permanently delete them for you.
Temporary Internet Files and cookies. These relatively small files reside in the My Documents folder, but if you do a lot of surfing with Internet Explorer, you will want to delete them from time to time to keep your second drive from wasting space.
Open Internet Explorer and select Tools, Internet Options
On the General tab, select Delete Cookies and Delete Files. Wait for each to complete. (Note: If you delete your cookies, all your session information from your visited sites will be dumped. Don't forget your passwords!)
