Repair your Windows.

Put Windows Installation Disk in DVD Rom and boot from it.

In Windows 7, you can select the Repair You Computer option

In WinXP, you have to press R when it asks to repair your Windows, It will copy all the Windows files once again without costing any data loss in Windows drive.

try to run windows under f12 boot log restart computer push f2 now it will give you the option to change the boot formate with arrows on key board then restart computer push f12 then its going to be 2 option run the first then its going to ask you rerun windows rerun windows.

Try getting it to boot into"safe mode" by tapping the delete key as it boots up. (it helps if you post the OS that is installed when asking questions! and if you have either a restore disk or the actual windows disk)
If it boots that way, depending what OS is in use, the windows can be repaired.

There is a coin cell battery inside the netbook that needs to be changed.

Hi,
Yes you can install XP on that netbook.
Now because there is no optical drive in that netbook you will need an external CD/DVD drive connected to the netbook and an XP install CD.


You can get the Windows drivers from Acer here >>>>>>>
