#Eee pc 901 windows xp iso how to#
I am at a loss now as to how to proceed and wonder if anyone here can guide me in getting the machine to accept the DVD as bootable. I looked out for the Boot Booster in the BIOS too, but it is not there. I have used the option of f2 to access the BIOS to set the optical drive as my preferred one to boot from but there is no option to set it. I have purchased an external DVD drive that is working fine but when I try to run the Linux recovery disc the computer will not boot from it. This is something I have been meaning to look at as an option on my own current machine for some time now so the timing at least is right. So now I want to take the machine back to its factory state of having Linux as its OS. I really can’t see how the eee pc 4gb machine could accommodate Windows XP as there is virtually nothing installed on the machine, no documents, images or music etc and there is still only something like 100MB of space on the hard drive. I have tried hitting f9 at startup to see if I could access the recovery or restore but nothing happens – it feels as though I am running a stripped out version of Windows XP if such a thing exists. I went through the computer removing programs & deleting everything that I felt I safely could in order to free up some memory but it’s still not enough.

Unfortunately the BBerry manager would not install as it only works with the service pack 3 of windows XP, when I tried to update to this, I found that the eee pc did not have enough memory to accommodate the XP sp3 update. I downloaded the Blackberry desktop manager application so that my daughter could use her blackberry mobile as a modem for connecting to the internet. My name is Mark, I have joined with you hoping to get some help or advice with a problem I have with anĪs I say the machine came with Linux installed from new and I have the original restore disc that came with it (The disc is entitled Linux Recovery DVD Rev.1.5 English version) at some stage a previous owner of the computer has installed Windows XP and there is no sign of the original Linux.
