From Linux --> Windows XP

Posted 19 September 2008 - 02:17 PM

I bought the Asus Eee PC 1000H with linux OS pre-installed and i would like
to change the OS to Windows XP (Cause i have the Original CD-ROM)
is anyone out there who managed to achieve this? i REALLY strugled trying
to find a clue on the net but every single answer was either "use an external
hard drive" or "Usb stick/with some executables (.exe)" but the Asus doesnt
have a CD-ROM and the .exe files cannot be executed from Linux i have a
Desktop running Windows Vista 32-bit (Ultimate) plz :( help :(

The Old Topic did confuse me a bit :blink:

External (aka, USB) CD-ROM drive will be the only way.

Actually it isn't the only way, I wrote a tutorial for doing just this a while back, I had a Dell laptop without any drives, I have repeated this tutorial several times, even with a less than reliable hard drive. Install Windows without CD or Floppy Drive
