If you have an Asus EeePC which came with Windows XP and want to re-install XP from a USB drive because you don't have a USB DVD drive, this video shows you how to make a bootable USB pen drive from your restore DVD. You can then boot your EeePC from the USB pen and re-install Windows XP. If you still have the original C: and D: partitions, you can just restore XP from the Ghost image to the C: partition and leave any files on the D: partition intact. Note: This will destroy all data on the hard drive or partition, do not boot from it on any PC other than your EeePC! You can get RMPrepUSB from http://www.rmprepusb.com BEFORE you boot your EeePC from the USB stick, enter the BIOS by pressing F2 a lot after switch on, go to Advanced IDE Configuration tab and change Configure SATA as -- IDE (NOT AHCI). Next go to BOOT tab and change Quiet Boot -- DISABLE. Save settings and exit. Then press ESC and select USB as boot device. from cpfigueiredo: 'I used Ghost to restore the ENVIR.GHO image to make the MBR and Recovery partition. Then I copied the other recovery files from the CD/ISO to the recovery partition and I could then install XP via the recovery partition again easily.'

4. Hi i have my eeepc901. My windows was corrupted that i can open windows but all the drivers and software cant be opened and used. I couldnt find my original recovery cd but i have my original support dvd. How can i solve it? Where can i download the files from? To my 8gb pendrive
5. Excellent.  Worked perfectly.  I had to keep a window open with the video instructions while executing the task in another.

7. dude, i follow your video steps in reinstalling asus eee pc.  but all of it are Japanese os, how can i change it to english even the bios is Japanese. help  dud i hoping you could help me.
8. Altra Soluzione: Installare Xp da normale Cd di installazione OEM. Dopo il primo re-start (l'installazione da errore) riavviare e lanciare EASY RECOVERY PRO for XP. Seguire i passaggi e riparare il Boot! Al successivo avvio Windows FINIRÀ' l'installazione!!! :-)
9. I did it!

   asus was out of order over a year and a half!!and now it is alive again!!
   I repeated the process at a windows 7 PC (probably it is not the same on windows 8)!
   If there are more than one eeepcah.gho files except ,like eeepcah.001 and eeepcah.002 you must copy all of them to the usb!!
