QUOTE(mengsuan @ Apr 9 2010, 01:13 PM) Push the orange latches and pull the cover. You have to pull it quite hard the first time but no worries, just pull. I have trouble with the big latch. The small one yields when I push, and that side of the back cover come up a little. But the big latch doesn't seem to move even a milimeter and that side doesn't open... Any petua to open it? |

You have to pry open the cover by your hands Thanks - eventually did managed to get it off, but hurt a couple of fingers along the way. Now running bottomless until I can get it to dualboot properly with XP, in case i need to manually remove the harddisk to restore the original image currently residing as a discwizard image.Anyone had luck getting it to dual boot? |

Hmm, looks like installing XP as dualboot with the default Win7 hit a deadend (The installer overwritten the Win7 partition). Anyone knows how to extract the Win 7 starter installation from the restore partition? Can't seem to find the answer from g

Cheapest way to squeeze out more performance out of the puny CPU and the meagre 1G of RAM?
Load up Windows XP. Mine speed up noticeably with that venerable OS |

QUOTE(McRyan @ Jun 14 2010, 09:48 PM) lets say if i wan to run win xp on it, i shld burn a recovery disc for win7 1st, then install win xp rite ? can i install it wf a pendrive? or someone can borrow me his/ her external drive ? lol Don't need to, because you'll have to get another external drive should you want to reset the hard disk. Better just get the Seagate Discwizard - it can image a hard disk onto an external HDD, and you can turn a thumbdrive into a Discwizard boot disk.Incidentally my 210 ships with a Seagate HDD, so Discwizard is supported |
