    I'm trying to follow this:
    http://wiki.eeeuser.com/windowsxpusb
    to get my AA1 to dual boot with XP and the Linpus. Basically all I want XP for is for Football Manager, which I've tried to get working under Wine but this process has been fraught with problem upon problem after problem from the beginning.

    Problem is I'm using the AA1 to do it, which appears to be impossible. So to put it simply, how do I get XP put on this infernal machine? And no I don't have a "U3" flash drive or a USB DVD drive.

    Helpfully, Acer has the drivers for XP here:
    http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/no ... e_150.html

    I had to wipe the Linux partition clean from within XP's installation, reformat as NTFS and install XP on the thing. Following on from that I have installed Acer's official drivers from the link above.

    It's actually not that bad at all performance wise; Tinyxp Rev09.
