Asus EeePC Windows XP Boot-comparison

wow BOTH of those are running pitifully slow.. im on a old IBM thinkpad and i can GARR-ON-TEE it boots faster than both.

Haha, fancy running Windows on an eeepc. Funny.

how did you get XP to boot from SDHC. Every time I try to put XP on USB, it freaks out and doesn't install or load. And I have used programs like bootit and hpformat stuff to make it think the thumbdrive is a fixed drive and NTFS but XP still refuses to load from USB. Any help? I can get Fedora 9 to load just fine from USB. although every time I do a system update, it rarely lets me boot Fedora again.

VLC is awesome. You should use TinyXP and choose the option where it takes out IE, Outlook, and WMP. (It puts firefox 3 on your computer automatically.) So no Windows media player, cause VLC plays way more stuff than windows MP can anyway. And if you want the link to TinyXP, message me! it has Hiren's BootCD 9.5, Acronics Backup and Restore, Damn Small Linux, SpinRite6, and TinyXP. Message me. its a 699MB iso. You can choose an option where XP takes up only like 200 MB of your hard drive!

where can i find a "nlited" version of xp?
Thanks for your help.

the original 512mb DDR2 dimm. It's an "nlited" version of XP, but fully working and running everything the 900mhz dothan (@630mhz) can handle.

What ram do you have?
and is this full xp or just part of it?

Im thinking of geting one and puting xp on if it will boot up quick.

Speed class on an SDHC card (through the SD slot on the eeePC) is irrelevant - its on a 16 bit bus - and is dog slow.

Place it on a 32 bit bus (cardbus) and it will fly (typically the thru put of 16bit SD slot is about 3mb/s, versus a class six at 20 and up.

dunno why this is rated low this is very useful for us potential eeepc buyers.

whoa im thinkin about gettin one but with a normal hd its to slow for me so i guess no hd modifacations unless a better hd comes out lol

well, I would be happy if I could have a bootable sdhc for Windows in my eeepc... but it´s very hard to me.

is winxp on sdhc usable a part the boot process? for example, have you tested office 2003 or 2007?

also 1 minute from SDHC (class 2!!!) isn't bad!
I WANT AN EEEPC!!! ;)

About 30 seconds from SSD isn't that bad.

Wow Windows takes a long time to boot!
