AOA 110 -bw converted from FAT32 to NTFS props

Hi guys, firstly like to say hello.

OK where do I begin?....I bought an Aspire one with the 8GB SATA drive running XP which was running slow so I decided to convert the FAT 32 filing system to NTFS as I thought it would be faster!! BUT.....its slowed my netbook down so much it is now unuseable!! So my question is...How do I fix it? :lol:

Ive looked through the search buttons, tried google etc but cant seem to find a solution.

As you are aware they do not come with a cd drive and no copy of windows so what can I do? I know that I can download a 3rd party software (partition magic etc) but I want to completely format my hard drive and install windows XP again.

My laptop came pre loaded with windows XP and I have the product key etc...So If I can get a copy of windows can I just use my existing product key? Ill create a bootable USB stick and do it that way if I can....

If there is an easier fix though Id be greatful if you could enlighten me.

Also how do this netbooks run Vista or 7? are they useable?

Regards

Mark

 

your cd key will work with an oem version of XP Home.
