    I do not know how the reinstallation works with the SSD-based EEEs. On the HDD ones, I presume there is a recovery partition.

    Which of the EEEs do you mean by the way (model #)? I know there are several with SSD memory (I am sorry, I do not know them well enough to differentiate only on the basis of the fact that it has 4G of SSD).

    Was it the 7-inch model? Be aware that those ones are outdated nowadays. But if your budget is 200 then there may not be other options...

    i guess it was 7 inch

    so where is there a list of the outdated models and the drawbacks to the outdated and the advice on how to update them as they will all be outdated one day?

    You should probably read Vicious' Guide on EEE; link in Info Booth (which you can find in my sig).

    My 901 came with a disc that has the drivers and ghost images of the C and D drives, for re-installing to factory defualt. On EEEuser, there is a guide to using the disk to Nlite, I tried it and it works great.
