    Installing XP on A Eee PC *HELP*

    Ok guys i have a quick question on installing windows XP on a Eee PC, i was wondering what are the steps to make sure i install it correctly without stuffing anything up. I have got to the screen where it asks to select what partition to install it on but there is 4 partitions. One partition is the old OS (linux) there is another that has the BIOS and another two that says nothing at all. So i was wondering do i just delete the OS partition and install? or delete the other two and not the BIOS? or?...........

    Any help would be great *Toast :toast:

    O iam installing it off a external DVD Drive. (USB)

    Install of Win 10 from old HDD to new SSD

    My PC has a WD 1 T HDD as the primary drive with Win 10 installed. There is also an 2nd older WD HDD for data storage purposes if ever needed - unlikely.

    I recently bought a new 500 GB SSD drive. I would like to install my WIN 10 on the new SSD using it as the primary drive.

    To install on the new SSD, would I unplug the WD 1 T HDD and install the new SSD drive on the MB and then install Win 10 on the SSD.

    After the above, I assume I then reconnect The WD 1 T HDD. With the OS on the New SSD, will the apps and programs that are on the WD HDD operate or will I have to reinstall them on the new SSD As well how do I delete Win 10 from the HDD - do I simply delete the files or delete the partitions or just don’t bother. The WD HDD a was not even close to being full and was bought for faster access.

    Any suggestions on how to get the new SSD to work properly and windows off the old WD HDD so it does not interfere with the new SSD would be appreciated.
