I'm really excited about installing XP on my new little Asus. But I'm stuck on step #8. I get the "bootsect. exe is not recognized as an internal or external command" message. Any ideas? Thanks.

Behind the forseen slot is just nothing but the mainboard. Searching more an partly removing the keyboard, i could not spy any chance to mount 2gb in this particlar model. There might be a slot hidden left or right side of the trackpad, but I dont know how to reach that space, it was allready hard enough to remove the keyboard without damage. Too bad that I allreay bought 2GB RAM :-( Hi, I have the same “problem”. Behind the forseen slot is just nothing but the mainboard.

]]> Comment on Fastest netbooks – most powerful 10 inch laptops – best picks by CShttp://allabouteeepc.com/fastest-netbooks-most-powerful-10-inch-laptops-best-picks/comment-page-1/#comment-5969 CS Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:19:50 +0000 http://allabouteeepc.com/?p=2308#comment-5969 Frankly, the Atom's all stink badly, even for non-video tasks, because you have to wait for the video to catch up before you can do anything else. The best Atom netbooks are now more than a year old, thanks to a settlement between Intel and Nvidia that makes newer Atom systems trash. Still disappointing that there are no decent netbook systems (aside from some alienware stuff in the $1300+ range) with the higher-end AMD Fusion chips and native usb 3.0. Shocking that even the larger systems still include usb 2.0. I'm actually using an old 12" laptop with a desktop CPU and mobile ATI CPU because I cannot live without docking into the 4 monitors, digital and analog video inputs, and 2 external hard drives that simply could not be run adequately off of 1999ish USB 2.0 speeds when I'm home and I refuse to wait around all day for photo and video editing apps to load...but I keep waiting and waiting for mid-range netbooks with USB 3.0 and something better than an e-350 processor. If a 10" $500 A-series fusion came out that had a decent resolution of say 1280X800 and USB 3.0, I'd be all over it. Or, even an Atom with USB 3.0 and anything other than Intel video...Is there anything on a 21st century computer system that creates a bigger computing bottleneck than Intel video? My android's GPU beats down my atom intel video... Frankly, the Atom’s all stink badly, even for non-video tasks, because you have to wait for the video to catch up before you can do anything else.

I know were my money go's.
