Asus Eee PC 900 Retail Version First Review

This comment was posted by an Asus Eee 900 laptop.

Hey, i got the Asus eee 900 with pre-installed Linux... and i want to install Windows XP, so i've followed a guide, but when i try to reboot or even boot it at all, i can't get to the bios, because it never shows up... it just boots up.. Why is this? i need help asap :D

How in the hell do you plan to install Windows XP. There's no CD drive and the only way you could hook up an external CD drive is through USB. Windows XP would be perfect for me so then I can use iTunes instead of Amarok and play better games that I have on one of my 1G USB drives.

You can install XP using a usb stick, i did it.

Thanks, I'll look into it. I may go on google and see if I can find a exe. It seems kind of unrealistic though to change opporating systems just by USB drives. It may work I guess. I'll have to find a way to get to the bios and possibly change some things.

Just one thing, be prepaired... it took me like 7+ hours to complete the installation!

Don't you need wine to open exe files? Although I tried going to the eee pc website to find wine and I did. However the shit didn't work. I'm thinkin' I may have to find an alternative way to install wine on my asus eee pc to be able to possibly install windows XP. If I can't find a exe file for windows I may need to figure a way that is free and not to complicated to do to install windows XP to replace Linux on my eee pc.

What you do is... follow any guide here on youtube on how to install windows xp with an usb stick... You'll need:
Usb Stick
A copy of Windows XP
A few hours

Then if you want to boot it, all you do is press ESC or F2 in the bootup.

bro dw i got ur bakc, fuk these other cunts all ignorin wat u say, its ben a month since u posted but if u still need it, i think u gotta press the high F button like F8 or F9 to go to the drivers tool box, from there u can chose a USB port which u want the pc too initiate...

on the eee pc bios it's esc to go to boot menu, and to get ot he setup menu of the bios u hit F2
