    Tried the search and Google but haven't yet found a solution. So my girl has a EEE 901 that came with Xandros. As expected she couldn't handle it and wanted Windows on it. I only have Vista, but it won't run smoothly on the lappy, so XP or even a older version is the choice.

    My question is; what files do I need to have on the USB-device, so that I can install XP (or 2k) from it. My friend gave me a ISO-copy of XP, but DOS says "Invalid disk" when I try to boot from the device. So what else do I need to be succesful?

    Thanks!
