Buy from Taiwan lar. I'm sure got forumers going to Taiwan all the time.

Damm it....

For every EEE user, please dun tuning your eee with disable or anything about the services for Win XP if you dun understand what's that services for.

For me, i had format 3 times cause of that. Now, again.....

The Wifi, LAN is not able to use after change some of the Services (Cant remember what had i done last night about the Services)
Haiz.....Format again tonight....

_______________________________________________________

Use regular Win XP to install. No need NLite for Eee since it just save up 100-300mb after Windows Updates and has chance for some feature become malfunction (ie ActiveX, some tiny feature needed or others)

If has 1G RAM or more, just turn off the paging file (512mb RAM not recommend), disable the system restore and some trick from Asus User Manual. (save up until 2.2G free space before windows updates, 1.9G after all updates done)

NLite, which guide u using coz it problem(format 3x) ??

2molo i gonna try out follow this guide..http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:nlitexp

I used regular installation XP once, but the boot up extremely slow (ya, after turn off unnecessary service, 75-85 seconds )

DUN TRY IT!

That's the 1st XP installation for my Eee. Alot of necessary thing cant run, like ActiveX and more. (ie CCTV software, cant run also)

Now.....Wifi cant connect to my AP (Shop and home), plugin the LAN port, blinking (unplug....connecting...unplug....connecting...)

thx for share it out... plz share more... as i still thinking to get 1 from sg... any 1 know sg got store ??

That guide is to show how to nlite niah.. its not for you to follow blindly wan.

I'm happy with my installation lor... everything I need so far works.

ps: and I installed one time niah

really ?

how long ur regular xp boot up time? only with SP2? or with fully windows update?


but sniper on the roof said manage get it done at 1.13GB size

2molo i gonna give it a short will update how...

if failed, just switch back to xandros w 4GB memory enable

i had just format it. Without update now, has 2.3G free space (after disable the paging since i has 1G RAM, disable system restore and clear system backup file, the sfc.exe /purgecache in command prompt)

Boot time is 47sec now (with Adobe Reader 8.1, FireFox, AVG Antivirus, CCleaner, and some software). after i update all the windows updates, will tell later.

is that must update the window?? for wat purpose??

47 seconds...

for ms bugs fixed

47 secs ok wat...

From cold boot (pressing the on button) until the first forum.lowyat.net loads up also takes about the same time.

My desktop rig takes far longer *sigh*. Too much rubbish

any 1 know where can view eee pc, i want to get one as soon as possible... but never see the pc b4....scare regret

if u r around PJ i wil be glad to show u

ok..i've try nLite, but it failed me installation error at .sif file(press F3 to exit,ya, even I din't use unattended or remove winnt.sif also fail..weird)

so I proceed normal installation as wat splua333 mentioned.

my eee XP boot up time(XP oridinary installation, with full 89 windows updates, IE7), about 25-26 seconds at auto logon(u'll c the brow line there), then 35-36 seconds at XP desktop ready. using StyleXP theme deco.





One very big different I notice, after fresh installation without load in any ASUS all software drivers, XP loading is fast.



Oh yah, another thing, anyone of you manage get the 0804(if not mistaken) BIOS via Asus Update utility? I ran it, it did show up 08 bios available to download. Official stable version?

mine took nearly abt 1 min from boot to login though
still ok coz most of the time i set to hibernate to save batt

Hibernate is different from clean boot, if you had more ram restoring from hibernate takes longer cause it's basically loading ram from disks

I didn't update bios...didn't even check which version is mine but it's not running 900mhz lor which is also ok cos I'm more concerned about battery life rather than anything.

Tonight I'll check the boot time again. Probably need to remove some startups.

hibernate...is it possible change the file to SDHC?

I guess, u install antivirus to delay the boot up time..


its 8804 version. I tried update, it took century time stuck in updating via ftp.asus.tw site.. give up at the end...
so its still 600mhz.



do use bootvis update us your nLite loading

I got AVG and a bunch of crap installed leh. At first install.. the window bar scroll twice niah.. now already 4-5 times.

Anyway... check tonight... now in the office, not convenient.

who can let me see see ur eee pc??
