THANK YOU ALL! I work as an IT Support (MCDST)- yes nothing to brag about, but I had to start somewhere. I trying to move away from the support side of things and getting into building / repairing Laptops. So far this week I have rebuilt two and today I was given a Acer Aspire One to rebuild. The problem I have is that the HDD, is buried within the chasis, and I lack the full toolkit to get it out. (Normally I wip out the Drive and put it into a caddy and run CHKDSK and what not from my PC.) As I couldn't do this, I needed a way to start the recovery console from the XP CD. - This netbook has no CD drive, so the USB installation method was the only way! This is by far the best way to do it. Very minimalistic and took 30 mins to get to the Recovery console from start to finish. I will update when it comes to a re-install so far I am just attempting to repair the OS. Again thanks for a simple way to get XP to install without any downloads. Regards, DRT
