Eee PC-Pain in the Butt

Great little computers except having to re-install the operating system. This is the Redneck way of doing it without buying an external CD drive.

Instead of doing it ass half backwards, all you had to do was create a bootable usb drive with your Windows installation file on it. Put the usb stick in the EEee pc usb slot, turn it on and you're done. Probably didn't even have to format the harddrive and lose all the data. Just would have done a system repair, 20 minutes and problem solved. Remember that for next time "BOOTABLE USB" google that. I've done it to install O/S on netbooks, it will make your life easier.
