I think you a pro and I am just a starter, so do not know how to advise you.

1000H does also support Vista, but with with limited max 2gb rams. it works better with xp. Xp home is pre installed , and comes with only a cd recovery version . So far, i do not know how it works just in case there is a virus attack.
All the bundled softwares from Asus like battery and overclocking works well in xp home, also do not sure with Vista or if you reinstall with xp pro.

I bought a basic dvd burner and a usb/ide/sata power cable for about rm 120, just to play it safe.

Otherwise , you can use networking with pc or with pendrive to instal your softwares. But, certain programs do not allow me ( being starter only ) to copy to pendrives directly, there must be some other ways, but taking too much of my time to learn. So , finally i bought this basic dvd burner.

1000H does come with bootable usb /optical drives. But again,do not know how it works in order to instal XP.

Maybe, other forumers could come in and share. EEEPC forum has all the discussions. You learn better from there.

Hi SKY 1809:

thanks for the reply.

im not expert la, learning also. know very basic info only.

by the way, which brand of dvd burner u bought? slim or big? i used to have one IBM very thin burner, but sold it off, bundle with my EEE PC 701, a bit regret now, haha

D TECH -R DRIVER III ( try to avoid version 2 )

meant to connect usb 2 to SATA IDE CABLE about ( rm 40 ).

So far it works with my basic samsung ide dvd drive 20x ( for softwares installations ), no disconnection problem.

I choose a big ( bulkly ) burner so that later I can swap with my PC cd burner . Or in case, i do not need to instal softwares to 1000h anymore.

P/s : just realize that 1000H has quite sound quality when playing MP 3.

i feel the sound quality for 1000h not bad..a lot better than my dell notebook..!

Does anyone know Trendnet?? why is it so expensive (RM190)..but it got waranty for 2yrs from seller and 5 yrs from Trendnet..

yeah i agree the 1000h sound quality isnt bad at all for a netbook =D

No mention of sata dvd rom ?

Only rm 40 ! Buy at your own risk !

this is the one u use???

wanna ask whats the value of a used eee701 now? wanna get one for travelling use.

I used this one. converter + plug adapter. very good. but diff brand I think. cheap.

I used the normal IDE > USB convertor usually used for harddisk. Used it with my DVDROM, and installed from it. Pretty good

Another way u can do is to install it from your thumbdrive. For normal programs you can just install, but for Windows, there is a special preparation method to follow before it can work.

waitting 901 model

me too waiting for 901 but they say 901 no more in the market

901..amazon have alot of it...

amazon??? got ship internationally?

thats why I quickly grab one(display unit) of the last one from kl
and ship it back to penang


btw
got my ezi stick the past days

and this is it







most of the ori sticker stays

and anyone can guess the top design get a prize...

can ask ppl in garage sales that do bulk or can help buy from amazon...the warranty is international rite??

don'T tell me you are giving away your 901 if someone guess correctly, just joking.

Nice work man, could spend many hours doing it ?
