Well, Micorosoft Windows xp * Service pack 1 & 2 work best on laptops while sevice pack 3 is sort of a scrue up for laptops. So My sudjestion is do install sevice packs 1 & 2 but not 3.

XP has a problem installing directly from (non cd) usb devices by default. try it with a usb external cdrom and an actual windows cd (known to work) or reinstall ubunt and run windows as a virtual machine or if you are really into computers and really really need to install xp from usb try the link below. (good luck)
Hi Brian,
I assumed you were looking for the EEE PC 701 (XP) Manual and not the Linux version..
If so, you can get the manual from here:

Are you able to check your network connection? Go to your control panel, click on Internet Options, click the Connections tab, then the LAN settings. Make sure the Automatically detect settings is selected and nothing else. close all windows and retry your Internet. Good Luck.
Ok your gonna need a couple of things to put XP on the Linux Eee PC.
A usb 2.0 CD or DVD
The Offical windows XP service pack 2 disc from Microsoft
A usb flash disk larger than 1 gig or an external harddrive
ASUS PC Eee support CD from original package.
If you have those things the ASUS Eee XP installation instruction manual can be downloaded here
yeah but will service pack1 work on the eee-pc
