My cute little Asus EeePC
well...............this mini lappy finally get installed with window xp.........many people sure find it weird because it is very easy to format and install window xp with any PC/Laptop.....!!but to your info this lappy is actually a ultra portable devices that weight less than 1Kg.......and the sad part is it don't have a optical devices such as DVD-rom.
The story below talk about the problem that i faced to put Window XP OS into this lappy....
1.When i bought this lappy,it is running on Linux Xandros OS ( well i thought is fun to use a new type of OS that is Linux............but after usiing for 5 month i feel bored because the function is too simple and i cannot install/update any new software..............actually i dono how to do it.......it is not as simple as i thought like Windows..........juz press install next next .............and finish....haha you need to know some basic programming to do it in Linux.............i mana tau lol !!
2.Find ways to install XP ......after a lengthy search on uncle google.............i find the most suitable way to install the OS is by using pendrive............follow by a external dvd-rom........well i wanted to save some $$$ and decided to use pendrive method(my god another problem it is way to complecated)
3.Soo i just continue to use the linux and forget about the dream of XP in this Lappy.........but one day when i searching book in the library...........i saw one guy using the same Asus Eeepc and to my surprise...........he using XP.............ohwell i chat with him and he say he can help me using the pendrive way...........but i have to wait 1 month later.......because he on holiday soon.....!!
4.About..............1 month later.........i contact this guy and to my surprise he say he at Thailand holiday.........soo i juz call him back later to find some time to meet him.................to my surprise and horrow............when i call this guy again..................and ask about when he is free and can meet me soo that he can teaach me how to format the lappy using pendrive..............he just reply he do not know when his free on that day...............and i can just wait him at the library the whole day if i need his help................i have a shock with his rude attitude............haha...........life is like tat want people help but i kena eventually FFK by people......
5.I am so angry and but have a chance to follow KP to Lowyat because he wanted to claim something..............and look for a external dvd rom......because of a tight budget i opt for the Pioneer Internal DVD-Burner and a aluminium casing soo that the Internal DVD drive can become a external after using the casing,IDE-USB converter and a power supply (it come 1 set together with the casing). I also bought a mouse.............A4tech Glazer mouse that claim to be usesable in 99% of the surface..............such as glass.Total cost me RM195+RM49 burn
The external DVD-Burner........actaully bigger and heavier than my lappy lol!!
6.Lastly ............i juz plug in the External DVD-rom and 1 hour later.............voila my EeePc finally have WIndow XP OS installed......crazy journey .............!!
