Fixing netbook/eeePC/whatever without optical drive
Got an Inspiron 910 to fix that had no drive. New situation for me, and didn't feel like screwing around with a network boot. Found the perfect tool to do it from a USB drive/memory stick adapter etc. It's even free!
http://wintoflash.com/download/en/ But yeah, somehow the guy had fucked it up so bad that trying to open an executable file brought up the "Unrecognized file format, how would you like to open it?" deal, and even Rundll32.exe was missing. Last edited by Nh 2 : 05-09-2010 at 06:44 AM. |

Never needed one before and wasn't about to go get one just for that. Besides, when do I ever do shit the simple way?

Are you trying to install a OS onto the drive? most netbooks should be able to read the USB from the boot menu. Just install a distro of ubuntu remix on it, or windowsCE, unless it is powerful enough to run xp. Or perhaps I am not understanding the issue. Can you give me a bit more detail? |

Yeah I was installing from a USB memory stick adapter. That program worked to do so.

wince on an x86 netbook? i think you're overestimating how shitty the processors are. even my eee701 can run XP pretty darn good.
