    So I just recently switched my aspire one from windows xp to mac os 10.5.5. I was poking around and found that I need windows xp to run an app for my blackberry. Is there a way i can run bootcamp and use tiny xp, and have a dual boot system using bootcamp? it seems that once windows is installed you need the osx cd for the drivers anyone know what drivers they are? thanks any help is appreciated.

    Bootcamp doesnt work on normal PC's but you dont need it either. Just follow a dual boot guide and install XP or use Virtual Box within OSX.

    i suggest you try vmware fusion.
    runs perfectly one the aspire one.
    and it is much more advanced then virtual box.

    The Windows drivers on the OSX DVD are for when you use Windows on Apple hardware. You shouldn't need them at all for an Aspire One.

    I run XP under VMWare Fusion on my iMac and use these Windows drivers so that the Apple keyboard, bluetooth and iSight webcam work properly in XP.
