Installer Windows Xp Asus Eee Pc 701

My netbook is an Asus EeePC 1005HA. It wouldn't boot anymore but I have been using it by booting from a USB with BartPE's XP on it. I tried installing XP from this USB but get the error: 'FILE $WIN_NT$.~BT ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded. Error code 22'. My guess is that the new XP was a different version from the installed XP. So I used diskpart to reformat and re-partition C: so it would be clear of any previous OS. I still got the same error message.

I was able to copy a file to C:, so I know it is formatted and empty. How can I get a version of XP installed? Do I have to use the XP CD that came with the netbook? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think I understand the SATA issue now. So I just went into BIOS and set the SATA to IDE. I assume that I do not need the SATA driver now.

I do not have a DVD drive to use the Asus Restore CD and I could not get that CD onto a USB drive. Therefore, I made a bootable BARTPE USB from another XP CD. After installing XP from the BARTPE USB flash drive, it booted and only got the blue 'WINDOWS SETUP' screen, then the same message '.ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded'.

Nov 12, 2009 As mentioned in my earlier blog on the ASUS Eee PC 701SD, I would install Windows XP onto it since a few of the programs that I. Windows XP on an EeePC 701 with 4 GB SSD. The original Asus EeePC can handle Windows XP very well. I used my USB DVD drive to do a normal install.

Other than buying a DVD drive to run the original setup disc, could you suggest anything else I could try? It's 'hard wired' to use an ext. CD/DVD drive in order to install the OS. Being that its also XP just makes this harder or impossible.

Unless you have access to some ext. Drive then its going to be practically a tail-chasing exercise.

Below is one and remember you can re-use this on other projects. Tada ------Willy. Thanks Willy. I've tried several versions of the USB installs and they all seem to hang when files need to be put on the HDD.

Like R.Proffitt stated, it's probably an issue with XP not being able to work with SATA without drivers. I even tried a Live DOS USB with FDISK. FDISK insisted the HDD to be Drive 1 and the USB to be Drive 0.

So it couldn't make the HDD the active bootable one. The adapter looks interesting, but since I only expect to use it once or so, I'm going see if Santa may spply me with an external DVD drive.

I'll check back after Xmas.

The original Asus EeePC can handle Windows XP very well, but the 4 GB SSD can be a bit cramped. Here is how to slim it and tweak it. While my passion is for Macs, the rest of my household prefer Windows.

In early 2011, I picked up an Asus EeePC 701SD. It featured the Celeron 900 MHz processor underclocked to 630 MHz, and I put 2 GB RAM in it. This model came with an 8 GB SSD, and both Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ran beautifully on it without a space issues. Fast forward to late 2012, and I was given an EeePC 701 for my son.

Same processor as above, but with 1 GB RAM and only a 4 GB SSD – which is not upgradeable. Download Free Klicktel Telefon Und Branchenbuch Sommer 2008 German-RHI. I ran various Linus distros on it, such as Xandros – the original OS it shipped with – Linux Mint LXDE and EasyPeasy, but my son wanted Windows on it – he has yet to be fully educated yet. Anyway, I am lucky enough to have a USB DVD drive, otherwise the process is a little more complicated, with the need to transfer the Windows CD to a USB drive and install slightly differently. This tutorial isn’t a guide how to install, but how to make it fit comfortably under 4 GB.

NLite The first thing I did was hop on my wife Windows laptop and grab nLite. It is described as an unattended deployment tool, for making totally self installing Windows discs, but it is also handy for tweaking, slipstreaming and removing features you don’t want or need. A lot of these can be done after installation, but it is nicer to have a smaller footprint to begin with.

My Windows XP CD is the Home version, and it already has Service Pack 2, so the first thing I did was downloaded the Service Pack 3 file and slipstream it in. Then I removed all the keyboards except the UK ones, removed all languages except Western Europe and United States, removed all printer drivers, and removed all Applications except Calculator, Defragmenter, Paint, Screensavers, and Word Pad. Once done, nLite can then burn a new slimmer Windows CD and you are ready to go. Installing I used my USB DVD drive to do a normal install, not forgetting to set the USB DVD drive as the first boot device in the BIOS. Run through the installer, formatting the drive and setting your region settings as you go. Being an SSD based device the installation went very quickly and was done within 20 minutes.

Hardware & Drivers I ensured all hardware was working, and installed any drivers it needed – which were for the ethernet port, the built in WiFi and the graphics chip. I had these on a USB flash drive. I set up my WiFi and activated my Windows. Updates & Apps The next thing was to let Windows Update do its thing. It pulled in 119 updates. Whilst doing that, I installed the minimal apps he would need: MS Security Essentials, Firefox 20, and the latest Flash. Tweaking Windows Once all the updates were installed, MS Security Essentials was updated and ran its first scan, and with all apps installed and updated, I was left with just under 1 GB free space.

Pretty good going and more than enough for the machine to breathe, but there are some more things you can do to grab a little extra space. Firstly disable System Restore. Go in to Control Panel >System and chose the System Restore tab, there is a tick box. While a handy feature if ever your Windows goes belly up, I have never used it and it can take up precious space.

Secondly, remove unwanted System Components. Go in to Control Panel >Add Or Remove Programs. Space Control Storage Software. Down the side you will see Add/Remove Windows Component and you can pick further tools and accessories you would like to remove. There shouldn’t be too many if you removed the majority of them using nLite prior to installation. Thirdly, reduce virtual memory. Go in to Control Panel >System and click the Advanced tab. Click Settings, and click the Advanced tab.

Down the bottom is the Virtual Memory section. Click Change. I set mine to custom size of minimum 768 MB and maximum of 1024 MB. This will drastically increase the free space on your SSD.

Fourth, delete everything in c:/WINDOWS/SoftwareDistribution/Download and empty the Trash afterwards. Fifth, do Disk Clean up on the c: drive by right clicking on it and selecting Disk Cleanup, this will get rid of any left over temp files. Finally, do a Disk Compress on the c: drive by right clicking on it and tick the Compress drive to save disk space box.

This took a while to do and it came up a few times asking what to do with certain files. Ongoing Some of these steps will need repeating from time to time to clear out anything that accumulates. However, in general your drive should stay well within the limit required by Windows to allow you to use it without any hassles and without that annoying warning about low disk space. After completing the above tasks and a few days of use my sons EeePC still has 1.4 GB of free space and haven’t ran in to any problems. Conclusion While this was done for a 4 GB EeePC, most of these tips will work fine for other machines with smaller hard drives or if you are simply trying to free up some space.

All of the tips are done at your own risk. Follow Simon Royal on or send him an. Like what you have read? Send Simon a donation via. Keywords: #windowsxp #eeepc701 #SSD #techspectrum #simonroyal #lowendpc short link: searchword: xpeeepc701.
