I'm afraid that makes no sense to me. Please consider me a complete novice (oh the embarrassment). all I know is that in all likelihood, there's a possibility that the i386 files should have been included, but why the massive (from memory) OEM files? Sorry to be pushy, but this netbook is due to head back to Scotland in 30 hours, and I really hate to admit defeat. I can do the work if someone would be so kind as to walk me through the process. At present the Netbook has an incomplete version of Windows, and won't boot up as a consequence. I really can't work out why these machines have such a small C: drive, it's pointless.

Please forgive the lack of technical terms, but I'm very much an amateur technician. A considerable amount of my expertise is down to pointers from friends and trial and error. My daughter's partner presented my with an Eee PC 901 which was clogged up with rubbish. I exported the program files into D: and set up a mount from C: However I found that Windows was taking over the miniscule sub 4GB C: drive. In the end, I chose to reinstall Windows which was a big mistake - too big for the drive. So, of course the drive has been formatted. By chance I happened on this blog. I followed the instructions given and was a bit surprised to find the ISO coming out at over 2.3GB. We included some components that the blogger didn't recommend - a handful of MB worth. We were therefore surprised when the ISO came out at over 2GB. Of course, a set of data that big would only fit on a DVD, not a CD, and Eee netbook just won't recognise a DVD. The original Windows disc is a Dell Windows XP Pro Media edition. I can't provide screen shots as I only have the ISO, and have no idea how to view the contents. Any pointers as to where I've gone wrong would be really appreciated. I may have posted this to the wrong section, so I'll re-post in Nlite.
