Asus Eee 1002HA - Now with Windows 7 Beta Build 7000

[matomezato]

by the way i have the 1002ha, same as yours?

[matomezato]

do you think 1 gb ram will handle windows 7 or should i go for 2?

[jasondevers]

I've been wanting to install the windows 7 RC on my 1002ha, I was a little worried about the drivers. Are you just using the XP drivers?

It looks pretty fast. Would you say its faster than XP?

[Syrius187]

what OS comes installed on this? XP?

I want vista!

[kenjuma]

Yes XP comes pre-installed. Vista runs ok to, but XP is faster ofcourse. However, I use Win7 on my EeePC 1000H, which runs faster than Vista.

Good luck getting it to run well with that atom in there.

How did you install it?

did you format both partitions? and then installed in on C: ?

[kenjuma]

I didn't think of this. Hopefully zeavott will answer this... I gave away my external DVD-drive.

does aero work? i just wanna know if u can actually run aero without having like 2 frame rate and just.... like DIE LOL

[eliden]

will it detect a 4gb ddr2 laptop ram?

[megamanxu]

it will detect 4gb if the netbook can take 4gb, like bios can take 4gb. but if bios cant detect 4gbs then it wont show up. if u put in a 4gb ddr2 stick, and it wont show up, it is either dead, or it is way too big for the bios to take, try a 2gb stick and try if it work.

Hay there I am having the same black screen during boot up. How did you get yours to boot normally. Also I am having a problem with my audio drivers. I've installed the most current realtek 2.17 drivers. With these drivers i'm getting a crackle in the speakers. What drivers are you using??

[crabolsky]

Thanks for the video, enjoyed the run down on Win 7. I actually watched you 1002ha unboxing right before I ordered mine. I just downloaded the beta and Iam seriously considering installing Win7. Did you set up dual boot? What did you do to prep the eee for install? O would hate to install it and have a bad partition or something. Also will the f9 recovery still work? Cheers.

damn detection crap not detect memory upgrade

[zeavott]

go into bios and that resets the memory detection.... then when you go to windows 7, it should detect 2gigs....

[eliden]

how did u fix the 2 gb upgrade problem?

[kenhes]

Good videos. I'm thinking of getting that netbook. May I ask how you installed Windows 7 onto the SSD drive? Did you put it on a pen drive first and install from there? Thanks.

[kenhes]

Oh Yeah. Also, how is the battery life?

[zeavott]

I just used an external CD ROM and installed it that way....

The pen drive installation is a little more intuative.

Battery's not bad at all...like 5 hours is the average I get... What's nice is that if I place it on standby I can get 9+ hours and it boots up in less than 5 seconds...

[Uifz]

What about hibernation sir? =)

[willis0317]

great video! i have loaded windows 7 on my 1002ha with black screen issue during the boot up. how do you resolve the problem. thanks willis

[rafu24]

open notepad and write:

displayswitch /extend

displayswitch /internal

save as: "displayfix.bat"

place the file in start/all programs/startup

[Doomsfist]

yeah i tried windows 7 on my laptop made a partition for it for about 3 days i hope that microsoft doesn't do what they did last time and screw everything up cause 7 is amazing at the moment.
