    But the problem is the netbook is not featuring with DVD-RW to install many popular software and also the operating system like Windows XP. I know most of you still use Windows XP rather than Vista because of the compatibiliy and also the performance. So I search through internet and I find several useful tips how to install windows XP on your netbook like Asus EEE PC or Acer Aspire One also with the video.

    Thanks to the USB flash drive which now have capacity more than 1GB and now you can use it to install windows XP through USB. From AllaboutEEEPC.com you must prepare several files and also the the detail steps.

    1. Download the 3 files that you must have: USB_PREP8, PeToUSB and Bootsect
    2. Extract all of the 3 files to any folder that you want and move PeToUSB inside the USB_PREP8 folder.
    3. Run the ‘usb_prep8.cmd’ by double click or via command console.
    4. Press any key and the PeToUSB will open.
    5. Stick with the default settings and click Start. When done, close the window
    6. Open the command DOS by Start – Run – type ‘cmd’
    7. Change the directory to folder where you extract the bootsec tool
    8. Type ‘bootsect.exe /nt52 X:’ where X is the drive letter of your USB flash drive. Wait until ‘Bootcode was successfully updated on all targeted volumes’ appears.
    9. Go back to USB_PREP8 command window.
    10. Read carefully the directions and give proper values. Everything should go well.
    11. Wait for the process to complete and you will then have a bootable USB Windows XP installer.

    Also you can watch the video on Youtube about installing Windows XP on Netbook via USB.
