    Greetings - With all of the new netbooks being introduced shortly, it's only a matter of time before I get one and it will likely have Win 7 Starter. I'm leaning towards the Toshiba NB305 - since I had such a good experience with my now sold NB205. Since NB205 XP drivers will or may likely work for the NB305 - I will probably attempt to make it a dual-booter - XP and Win 7 Starter.

    Does anyone know if Starter edition has the option to create a System Repair Disk? I will need a system repair disk to recover the Win 7 partition after installing XP on a newly created partition. I understand that I'll have to use an external DVD drive in order to do all of this with the Toshiba. Thanks in advance!!

    Or better yet - does anyone know of a source for a Win 7 Starter DVD?
