I need help in instyalling XP on SDHC

Hello everyone,
This is my first post, but I've been lurking for the past few days on these forums.

I got the A1 (alas, it has an Intel SSD), and I must say that I'm a bit stumped by the Linux interface.

I've followed the instructions on how to install VLC (as posted here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=167 ), but even though the package was installed, I can't figure out where the application is...

I must say, although I follow technology, and I believe there should be free and better alternatives to M$ operating systems, I still think Linux is not ready for the masses. I know absolutely nothing about how to use it - I'm no programmer. And until there's a simpler way to add/remove programs to an operating system, and access them, it's a big hassle.

These being said, I'd like to install XP on my A1.

I have various XP versions which have served me well over the years... My favorite, though, must be Retestrak XP SP2 Final... I also have the Crystal XP, TinyXP, and Black XP....

So, I figured i could use a guide to install XP on a fast SDHC, and use my A1 like this... I don't know about you, guys, but I like to use my Winamp, my VLC, my AcDsee and all the other programs that make computing fun and enjoyable.

I found this guide : http://www.eeeguides.com/2007/11/instal ... thumb.html , but it seems complicated and I'm not sure if it works for SDHC installation.. can anyone else post their experience and suggestions?

Thanks!

 

sorry mate you can not install XP or other os on your SDHC . the bios of AAO does not recognize the sdhc only on USB. better to upgrade your ssd to toshiba HDD
