Installer Windows Xp Asus Eee Pc 701

Rufus screenshotAdd a copy of the Win98 folder from the 98 install disc, for the sake of booting and installing from it. Please note that Rufus installs a Windows Millenium DOS, so you better get an image of the Millenium boot floppy (for example from ) and grab Fdisk off it onto the USB. Set up the SSDGet yourself a bootable flash with a partitioning tool. I recommend using.

Once you’ve booted into it, go on and remove all of the stuff for the sake of creating a single 4GB partition on the SSD, and don’t forget to backup prior to that!Once you’re done with it, move on!Step 3. Make a first installEnter BIOS and make sure the SSD is the first drive on the system. Then boot off the flash from Step 1. You’ll end up at the DOS prompt:C:Now enter DIR and make sure you see the files you had on your installation USB.Then enter cd Win98 (I blindly assume you didn’t rename anything you got from the CD, right?) and then setupcor /c /it /p a;b. This should start the setup process. If you use setup.exe, it will just stare at you with its deep black screen.If it doesn’t start, well, there’s a solution for that too. Find a relatively-new PC (that supports USB storage on BIOS level), plug in a hard drive that you will install into, and your installation media, off which you will boot.

After the installation to the USB drive is done (oh, make sure its size won’t exceed your EEE’s SSD length of 4000MB! I made mine 3200.), boot to some Linux LiveCD on your EEE and use DD to copy the HDD right onto the SSD. For example if the HDD with 98 is /dev/sdc and the EEE’s SSD is /dev/sdb you will have to execute this in the Linux shell:sudo umount /dev/sdb; sudo umount /dev/sdc; sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdb bs=1M. Win98 installer freaking out on my Core i3 (yes I had to go the failed-to-start way)The system will ask you some questions, and then proceed with the installation. If it decides to reboot on its own, point it to the installer media, not the SSD or the target disk! It doesn’t write any bootsector until it’s done doing stuff!

By the way install it to D:WINDOWS, because the C: drive is gonna be the installer flashdrive. You may try installing DOS and copying the Win98 folder onto the SSD, and starting the installation from there, but it didn’t work out for me.Right when it’s gonna detect devices it will ask you about every detection attempt. Always say “yes” so in case it hangs, you know where to substitute it for a “no” if it decides to hang on you.

Drive the driversAlright, you got the thing running. No sound, no network, and not even any decent resolution or color depth. And if you used the install-from-flash-onto-external-USB-disk method, no bootloader either (that’s why I recommend to use an SD as an installation media, I did it that way, and the SD is always here as the bootloader, and for the sake of keeping the installer handy). You’re so mad you even reboot your desktop Windows 7 computer by hitting the Reset button, but you did it. And all you got is this.

Well maybe you installed Word and wrote a couple of docs, but still not satisfied.Well it means it’s time to get some drivers!The only ones I was able to find by now are video and USB ones. Sadly it seems that there are no Realtek HDAudio drivers, as well as no wireless ones, and even though it might be possible to get the Ethernet port to work using the Ndis drivers, it didn’t work out for me (if you know how to solve Ndis.vxd error code 2 – tell me in the comments), I had to make a special directory into which I had to expand all of the Driver.cab files in order for Windows to at least let me install that.

Maybe that’s just me, I’m not sure at all.For the video drivers, you are gonna need the. However, even though the graphics will be fast and smooth, get ready for some problems:. Even though it works awesome when using Windows applications, in case you launch a DOS box with a program, fullscreen or whatever – it’s gonna screw stuff up with interesting textmode graphical effects. Sometimes hitting Alt+Enter to go fullscreen and again Alt+Enter to go back helps. The funky graphic effects after starting command.com from Windows. Either you have the resolution or you have the colors – the driver cannot fit the whole image into the memory if you set 16bit at 800×600, except if you patch the BIOS, a way of what is something they forgot to tell us about, so you either have 640x480x32 (which is, to be honest, pretty usable, even x16 is fine for me), or 800x600x8, just 16 colors.

You may try to launch the TSR fix they claimed would fix this, but for me it just made a nice fade-from-black-to-white screensaver, that’s all. That is because you need to add them into Autoexec.bat at the very beginning, and you better do to give it a fancy resolution, in my case the line was:lh c:vbe9x0800×480Alv1411.exeActually, I only got the 800×400 version to work, but in 16bit High Color, so it’s cool with me. However this doesn’t fix the ‘funky textmode’ problem at all.As for the USB support, the first thing to do is set the OS installation mode in BIOS to ‘Start’. Then install carefully, paying attention to the instructions, and you’ll be good to go.And now it’s time for some screenies!

So the problem is that i have tried installing 22 different distros for an desktop computer by using it's hard drive in place of this one that im now using.also i tried to install various light versions of ubuntu to an asus eee pc 4g (701) without success. If any of you could recommend what os to use in that kind of netbook i would appriciate it dearly.i did try to install the easypeasy and the eeebuntu too and neither of them worked.

I got the errrno 5 error of input/output 6 different times on all of the alternative post 12.XX versions all the way to an 8.XX versions, i have tried 3 different usbs. To sort out that the usb is damaged? I have used universal usb installer on windows 7 versions 1.9.5.5 and 1.9.5.8 and they seem to install the.iso files just right.it may be that the eee pc's hard drive has come to its read write limit due that it is an ssd drive?

I need to buy a new hard drive to it to continue its installations.but the strange thing is that the asus eee pc's original asus based os works just fine. I just want to have a bit of more free space from the hard drive when i eventually get it.but to the current and more important issue.i also get errno 5 input/output error on an desktop computers hardrive, it is an barracuda 7200.7 160 gigabyte seagate drive.

And it has no broken things in it, i managed to check this by one lubuntu version that i managed to run via an usb stick that i have used to try these different ubuntu os's. The furthest ive gotten on these numerous installation attemps has been to the desktop via the usb on this barracuda, in versions of ubuntu 10.10 and an lubuntu 12.XXthe issue that i expect to run into later, and perhaps the reason i cannot run the installations beyond different points is that, i try to install ubuntu via usb, using entirely different computer than the one where it is going to be, once i manage to install an working version of ubuntu. This computer that i am currently using the forums runs on 64 bit system, the older one is 32 bit.

So i try to install a 32 system to an hard drive described above?? Maybe this is also wrong, but the problem is the desktop may not be rescueable due i cannot enter even bios on it when it is connected to the old desktop pc. So i try to use this 'newer' computer to run the installation to its working hard drive?i have managed to format the barracuda by using lubuntu 12.04 32bit alternative but it didn't install itself on the hard drive most likely due this computer is 64 bit system?thank you from your time!! Happy holidays as well!

The md5sum of the.iso is correctthe usb was not, now i try to reinstall it to the usb and check again.the thing is that im trying to install the linux to an hard drive that i connected from the older device that i have little info of other than it has 1g of ram. It is an hp pc. And used to have an windows xp on it.it doesnt boot to the bios setup nor can i currently run linux via usb on it?heres the windows disk manager window, i didn't really understood what you meant?//// edit here is the md5sum window. It doesn't still match?Last edited by tuomas4; December 25th, 2014 at 06:26 PM. Tuomas4; Hey;We are making progress.As you have/had XP on the system, we are looking at a bios based firmware, not UEFI.OK with but 1 Gig of ram, as it takes 2 Gigs for a good experience with the top of the line edition ubuntu - you want to consider a lighter release.

May I suggest Lubuntu?Verify the MD5sum from a Windows system:Burn the.iso as an image from Windows. Tuomas4; UHMMMM.Are you trying to impose ubuntu ( ext4 filesystem) on Windows file system (NIFS)? No can do.Take the easy way to install ubuntu.Verify the.iso fileBurn the liveUSBSet in bios to boot the liveUSB as 1st boot priorityBoot the liveUSB to the Boot options screen ( As soon as the bios screen clears depress and hold the right -shift- key - language screen, escape to accept the default - boot options screen) and choose 'check disk for defects'. Let the disk check complete and reboot.Now you are ready to see what (L)ubuntu is - boot up in 'try ubuntu' mode from the boot option.

Play with the system in this mode.All is functional? Then;Install (L)ubuntuStart the installer and choose ' install ubuntu alongside of'.I do recommend NOT to check the boxes for 'install 3rd party software', 'install updates'; as we do not know what the graphics situation is or the hard ware the system has. These are things we can take care of better after the install completes. It is simple to do after the install.The install wizard will take care of everything - as you are presently under the 4 primary partition limit.All you need to do in the install process is answer a few simple questions: Your location, verify your keyboard, user name you will use, and your system password. Do not forget this password - tattoo it on your eyelids! - in 'buntu the password is critical.DoneReboot into ubuntu, tell us the situation and we will advise on completing the install by doing the updates and installing the 'extras'.
