Eee pc asus 904hd xp, corrupt registry

The cd rom would be external, so plug in the power and push the button on the front if that will not work then straighten the out side loop of a paper clip and poke it in the tiny hole in the front of the tray drawer till the door pops open.

Sounds like a corrupt OS or corrupt registry. Only option is to re-install or use a recovery option if included from Asus.

Hello,

Some eee pc asus netbook are designed to have an integrated OS reset which means that you can reset it to its factory setting by just pressing on a key.

Here's what you can try before doing the clean reinstallation. Turn on the computer. Once it's turning on, tap F8. If your netbook has the integrated OS reset, then, it will go to a screen where you can see the set up instructions. Just follow the instructions on the screen.

If F8 does not work, you need to do the OS reinstallation. You badly need an external dvd drive for that because netbooks do not have that component. DVD drive is needed for the OS reinstallation disc.

If you can find an external DVD drive, then, read the following tutorials that I made. Just click on the right tutorial.

That blinking cursor is the way in which the BIOS is telling you that Windows is missing - its most critical, core files have been corrupted beyond repair. The only thing you can do is to reinstall using the recovery cd or your own Windows install disk and an external cd unit.

Here are your drivers

I don't think F9 works on XP HD versions, only on linux SD versions. Use the Recovery DVD.

Hi,

You can the wireless driver directly from Asus here >>>>>>>>>>

you have to fix error on harddisk.
If you have winrecovery disk you can boot your computer with winxp recovery disk then boot computer with recovery disk then type in recovery console prompt "chkdsk /r" then pres "y"
then it fix error on harddisk.

I have the linux version, not sure if you have the windows version or if it really matters. If you are looking to "reformat", you can go with the other suggestions with the USB stick. However, if you are reformatting to get back to the default settings, power on the computer and immediately hold F9. This will bring you to a screen that gives you the option to "restore factory defaults". You will lose all your previous settings, but if you were reformatting anyway, that's probably not a big concern.
