Windows XP 512MB 8GB

Hey guys,

I may go with XP on my AAO but the downside is that it is the Linpus version. As anyone tried to install it or could refer me to a thread please?

Much appreciated,

Arthur

 

Dozens of threads about XP... here's the most obvious one, and it's a sticky thread....

There are three solutions:
* open up your One and perform expensive and dangerous heart surgery with new drives, RAM &c.
* try to install and run XP from a USB drive (it has been done, but looks difficult and messy)
* use the free software fix that I have described right here:

Since the One can run XP really well with the free software fix, I suggest you start with the third option, which is what I am using.

Thanks for the answers fellas, and I am looking at the drivers. I don't feel like getting my AAO into some surgery since it took me a while to get my Linpus up and running the way I want it, so installing RAM could actually take years !!!

However, since the technical specs are not the same on Linpus and XP versions, are the drivers on Acer's website compatible with the AAO 110?

I'll also get to do some reading with all the threads,

Cheers,

Yep. The only difference is the SSD and HD. Both of w/c do not require any drivers. Just make sure you install in FAT32 on SSD. Good luck! 512mb is enough for most tasks in XP. Just don't expect things to fly along when you open memory hungry applications.

 

Yeah that's what I thought I would do. However, a big point that kept me from switching from Linpus is the LED for Wifi. I know it sounds cheesy but I like them lights ...Would they work with a non-Acer XP version?
Since XP ain't Linux I assume, I can't go around and add some lines and stuff, so that's would be GREAT would they work right out of the box !!!
If someone had tried with xD and SDHC cards that would be useful as well !!!

I'm also downloading a copy of Ubuntu 8.10, just in case I miss Linux ...

Cheers,

Arthur

 

The LED wifi activity indicator works... the right side light... it's the left side (on or off) LED that doesn't. No big deal if you ask me. It's the wifi activity LED that's important.

 

Left led is for 3G

as for xp on a 110, I am running a tinyxp image made by Ron[nl] everything works great and it's fast to install (~20 minutes)
