The Aspire One is a netbook produced by
Acer; it does not come equipped with a CD ROM drive, so a traditional
hard drive reformat and Windows reinstallation is not possible without a
peripheral storagedevice. An external USB CD or flash drive will suffice, however.Difficulty:Moderate
Instructions
1
Plug in the external CD drive, then turn on your netbook and let it boot to your operatingsystem.
2
Open your web browser and go to
the BootDisk website (see link in Resources). Download the Windows XP
Fresh Install Bootable CD, then burn these files to a blank CD via your
external CD drive.
3
Ensure the files have burned to your bootable CD, then restart the netbook with the CD still in the drive.
4
The netbook should boot to the
CD upon the restart. Follow the instructions prompted for installation.
Upon completion you will have a clean installation of Windows XP on
your Acer Aspire One.

Use a Windows installation CD and re-install Windows; the CD version must match the Windows version on the Windows Product Code label on the bottom of your laptop. You will also need to download the device drivers for your model laptop from the Acer WEB support site, make sure the download the correct XP or Vista version of the drivers which matches the Windows version you are installing.
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 >>>>>>>
