    I followed the instructions on Hiren's website. Could it be because I'm using a MicroSD in a USB card reader that it won't boot? The only other USB flash drive I have is a SanDisk Cruzer though, and if I format it, the U3 software will disappear, right? That'll make it really screwed. O.O So, anyone have any suggestions?

    You can't boot off a USB card reader. At least, I haven't ever heard of that.

    Use your flash stick, it works great with it. Oh, and as far as I'm concerned, U3 is useless.

    I dunno, last time I messed with the U3 stuff, my SanDisk couldn't even be read by my computer.

    I just read some stuff. Does Hiren not work in the Linpus Linux model?

    Nope, that's normal, I wonder if Acer has disabled PS/2 legacy support for the touchpad.

    You can boot off a usb card reader. I've used the card reader on my AAO to install XP/Vista many times before.
