Install XP on Asus Eee PC from USB flash drive
If you wanto Install XP on Asus Eee PC from USB flash drive, so what you will need:
- Microsoft Windows XP intstallation files on a CD / DVD / Image
- Another PC running Microsoft Windows XP or Vista
- USB_PREP8 Download:Google,2shared.com
- PeToUSB Download:Official site
- Bootsect.exe Download:Google ,2shared.com
- A USB stick large enough to hold the install files and possibly the Asus EEE PC drivers. In this tutorial a SanDisk Cruzer 4GB is used.
Use a 4 GB if you want to copy the Asus EEE PC Driver DVD. 1 Gigabyte is enough for XP install files only.
Preparing the Bootable USB flash drive
Extract USB_prep8 and PeToUSB.
Copy or move the file PeToUSB.exe from the PeToUSB folder to the USB_prep8 folder. Your usb_prep8 folder should look like this:
Double click the Command Script named usb_prep8.cmd. The command prompt window will look like this:
Insert your USB-flash drive and press any key:
Make sure you have the right USB-stick selected. In the image above you see [SanDisk Cruzer USB Device 4025Mb [E:\]] Selected. Cross the “Quick Format” if you want to save some time (marked in red GD761).
Click on Start. In the dialog box saying “Continue?”, click Yes:
Another dialog box appears, click Yes:
When the format is complete (probably immediately KD476) you will get this:
Click Ok.
Extract bootsect.zip to a folder of your choice. (In this example i use C:\bootsect\).
Open a command prompt (on XP click Start->Run and type “cmd” TD347):
Navigate to the directory where you extracted BootSect.exe using the “cd” command (this example uses folder c:\bootsect):
cd \bootsect\bootsect [Enter]
Then type:
bootsect /nt52 E: [Enter]
This writes a bootable bootsector to your USB flash drive. Do not have any windows open displaying the contents of the USB drive. Bootsect.exe needs exclusive access to the USB disk and you will not be able to write a correct bootsector.
Close this command prompt. (Do not close the other running usbprep8 GD761).
The usbprep8 command line window should now look like this:
Press enter, if it does not look like the window above.
Now we need to supply information for 1-3 in the image above.
Press 1 + [Enter] – Browse for the location of your Windows XP setup files (Your CD/DVD rom KD476). A dialog box will appear:
Select your source for the Windows XP install files (CD/DVD drive) and press OK.
Press 2 +[Enter] – enter a drive letter that is not currently in use. In this example we use T:\
Press 3 + [Enter] – enter the drive letter of your USB flash drive. You can use explorer to check.
Press 4 + [Enter] – To continue with the script.
After a short while the script will ask if you wish to format the drive T:
Press Y + [Enter]. ( This is just a temporary drive to hold the windows installation files)
When the formatting is done, Press enter to continue. You should now see the script copying files. When it has finished you should see this:
You guessed it. Press any key to continue.
The script should copy a few files.
A popup asking if you want to “copy TempDrive Files to USB-Drive in about 15 minutes = Yes” should appear:
Click Yes. The script starts copying files. This takes a while, so go get a cup of coffee or something.
Once it is done, a popup will ask you “Would you like USB-stick to be Preferred Boot Drive U:”:
Select Yes.
Select Yes to unmount the Virtual drive.
Close the usbprep8 command line window and any others you have left open. You might want to copy drivers from your Asus EEE support DVD to the USB stick.
Now we are done with preparing the USB-flash drive. Next step is to make the correct changes to BIOS. TD347
BIOS settings
Turn on your EEE PC. When the screen below turns up, hit [F2]:
You should now be in the BIOS GK479.
Use the arrow keys to navigate to the Boot section of the bios.
Select Hard disk drives as in the image below and hit Enter.
Press the + (plus) key to make the USB stick the first drive:
Exit and save the changes:
Booting your Asus EEE PC into XP install
*IMPORTANT* Do not remove the USB-stick at any part of the installation process of Windows XP.
Reboot your EEE. You should be presented with the following screen:
Select the bottom alternative (as in the image above) titled
“1.TXT Mode Setup Windows XP, Never unplug your USB-drive until After Logon”
From here on the Windows XP setup is pretty straight forward except for the partitioning…
Preparing partitions on the EEE XP Install
When you reach the partitioning portion of the setup you will see something similar to this:
In order to Install XP on Asus Eee PC from USB flash drive, you need to delete each and every one of the partitions.
When done it should look like this:
Recreate one primary partition on your Asus EEE and PC and format it using NTFS.
Once the text mode portion of the XP install is done, you will see this screen when booting up:
This time select the top alternative titled:
“2. GUI Mode Setup Windows XP. Continue setup + Start XP.”
Complete the GUI part of the setup as usual. Once the GUI part is done and your EEE reboots, again select the top alt. “2. GUI Mode…”.
Now you should boot up at a normal Windows XP desktop. You can remove the usb flash drive if you wish.
Hopes that help you. The next we will introduce the Sony Newest laptop battery: Sony VGP-BPS8 Sony VGP-BPS8A Sony VGP-BPS8B Sony VGP-BPL8 Sony VGP-BPL8A

1. Laptop battery when you slow down your computer

2, desktop icons are too many
There are too many icons on the desktop will also reduce system start-up speed.

At the same time that some anti-virus software provides the system starts scanning feature, which is going to take a lot of time, and if you have antivirus software, open real-time monitoring capabilities, then start scanning the system becomes somewhat redundant HP Pavilion dv6000 Battery. Suggest that you will not be commonly used desktop icons into a special folder or simply deleted, so that burden on the computer, and naturally run faster!

Dell’s Inspiron 1100 budget system is a hit or miss product. Its base configuration is nothing special, but good deals can be found through Dell’s special offers. Dell’s mainstream Inspiron 1100 is the cheapest notebook in the newly redesigned Inspiron family, but it’s by no means the runt. Weighing 7.6 pounds, the 1100 is not ideal to lug around on a business trip or to class. In case you’re inclined to do so, however, Dell packs an efficient Celeron processor and a lithium ion battery rated at 6.45 Ah. And you can expect an impressive 4 hours of battery life, according to our BatteryMark test result.
Dell inspiron 1100 Des:
- Intel Celeron 2.0 GHz Processor
- 256 MB PC2100 DDR Memory
- 30 Gigabyte Hard Drive
- 24x CD-ROM Optical Drive
- 15″ XGA (1024×768) LCD and Intel Extreme 3D Graphics with 64MB Shared Memory
- AC’97 Audio
- v.92 56Kbps Modem and 10/100 Ethernet
- Two USB 2.0 Ports and One Type II PC Card Slot
- 13.1″ x 10.8″ x 1.8″ @ 7.8 lbs.
- Windows XP Home Operating System
- Rechargeable lithium inspiron 1100 battery
Dell Inspiron 1100 budget desktop replacement is probably one of the oldest systems available for under $1000 and its components show that age. The base configuration comes with an Intel 2.0 GHz Celeron processor which is sufficient for most computer users, but lower than most of its competitors. the biggest drawback to the system is the normal capacity battery that ships with it to reduce costs also reduces its possible battery life. The other area that it lacks is the optical storage. It ships with a 24x CD-ROM drive. On the plus side of things, Dell offers many upgrade special offers that can allow one to get memory or optical drive upgrades if they are willing to shop for the deals.
This is the same casing that’s being used in most of the new Inspiron series releases such as the 600m, 8600 and 5100.? One thing I don’t like about the Inspiron 1100 is its large size though.? With a 14.1 inch screen it is certainly not one of your 17″ desktop replacement monsters, but with its dimensions of 12.9 by 10.8 by 1.7 inches and a weight of 7.4 pounds it’s no lightweight.
Many notebooks with large cases will contain two internal secondary storage devices, a floppy and CD-RW for instance.? But not with the Inspiron 1100.? You can only get one fixed (not swappable) when configuring the Inspiron 1100 battery .? You have to choose from CD, DVD, CD-RW or DVD/CD-RW drives when ordering.? The DVD/CD-RW combo is the way to go if you can spend $50 – $100 extra.? If you really want a floppy Dell offers an external USB floppy drive for $49.
With its powerful 14.8V, 6,450mAh inspiron 1100 battery, the Inspiron 1100 had little trouble clobbering the competition in battery life. The Inspiron 1100’s four-hour score is the longest battery life we’ve seen in a Celeron-based system.Dell has achieved providing a respectable notebook that can?do every?day tasks without any problem for a low price.
Dell Dimension desktops are advertised everywhere: from the internet, to television, and in the Sunday papers. While they are inexpensive, I wanted to see if I could get a better price, so I went to the Dell website and looked in their outlet. I found a Dimension 1100 computer and decided to order it, a flat-panel monitor, and a pair of speakers. To my surprise, I was sent the wrong monitor and the right computer tower. The shipping to return the monitor would have been $50 and my monitor only cost $165, so I decided to take it apart and remount it using cable ties. It looks horrible and is lopsided, but it works. The real problem I am having is with the Dimension. This is the slowest computer, and has been from day one. Also, it has a tendency to freeze up a lot and I find I have to restart it completely. Dell products used to be great quality, but we have gone through 4 Dell laptops and 2 Dell computers in a period of three years. Each time, we have to end up buying another computer. One time, it was because the laptop was purchased overseas while on military deployment, so the standard warranty offered, wasn?t valid, though its laptop battery very power.
All in all, if you’re seeking a notebook for word processing, e-mailing, or browsing the Internet, this is a reasonable choice. But other units, like the HP Pavilion ze4200, give you greater value for your money.
