    Asus eee 1005ha netbook. tried booting from external cd-rom drive with win7 home premium disk. tried booting from usb thumb drive loaded with win7 home premium. still nothing. is there a way to access the bios on this or a way to get past the screen that says "bootmgr is missing. press ctrl+alt+del" i've tried hitting f2, f8, f10, f12, and del while the machine is powering on and no luck yet.

    any ideas?

    nevermind, i got past the bootmgr is missing screen only to find out that i had to restore the netbook completely only to have another error pop up that wont let the initial win7 setup finish and now its stuck in an endless cycle.

    the error is C:\windows\panther\unattended.xml has an error at line 34 or something of that nature. any ideas how to get past this one? it doesnt even load up the windows desktop as the error pops up during the 'setup is finalizing installation, please allow a few minutes to complete' and once you hit ok on the error window, it reboots the computer.
