    Hello everyone,
    This is my first post here and Im truely delighted to be on this site. I have tried to find some answers and searched everywhere on this site, when nothing turned out then Im here to ask so please step up and help me if you can and I will appreciate that. I wanted to try out the Rons TinyXp and have it here but I have some questions regarding if it is suitable for my system?

    Specs: Aspire one 8.9, 80GB Hard Drive, 1.5 Gb Ram, Win Xp Service pack 3.


    1. Can I install Ronx Tiny XP on my system without any issues? Wherever I read people are only having the SSD version and I wanted to know if this will be ok for my system with 80 GB harddrive?
    2. My system partition is on NTFS I think and according to the guide it will format my system to FAT32. Will this be ok for a hard drive system? I also have a hidden partition for my Aspire one recovery and I would like to keep it intact incase something goes wrong. Will the Rons Tinyxp also delete that partition or mess around those files?
    3. If anyone has tried the TinyXp with their harddrive system and can tell me if its really worth it? Will it speed up my system boot times, performance and run lighter? This should also increase my battery life since there would be fewer proccess running?


    Please advise

    Since you sound so unsure and not very technical, my advice is to just leave the OS it came with on and use tools like ccleaner, defraggler, and follow blackviper's guide (http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm) to tweak your system. There are also guides at tweakxp which can help remove some bloat from the default XP.

    Also not to mention TinyXP is illegal.

    tinyxp is not illegal if you have your own copy of xp pro during the install just use your own codekey. pc repair shops restore computers like that all the time by ether using a volume license that they paid like 2 thousand for or by using the customers original code key.
