Step1:

Having your window Xp installer disc, by using the wintoflash software, make a bootable USB flash

drive.

Recommendation choose advance option, at the format tab, under file system choose FAT 16 LBA

(previous I had choose FAT 32 LBA, during booting from USB flash drive an error will occur, so try

using FAT 16 LBA first if cant try using other format will solve the problem).

Step2:

If your laptop comes with original window, it most probably has made a recovery partition for you.

From my experience, I recommend this partition should be deleted, if not it will cause other problem

(boot problem, hal.dll error) during the reinstall of window.

First choose the first option, you will be able to go to the window installation (create partition,

delete partion page).

Recommendation--- deleted all the partition that set previously, than only create your own partition.

Step 3:

At this stage after u had created your partition, and install the window at the partition that u had

select. The window will be restart automatically for the first time. After restart, the window wontstartup and continues the window installation; this time u need boot the flash drive again and choose

the 2nd option. If any error (eg. Hal.dll) occur, try using the other option that had stated.

Step4:

By now this window will continue the installation. After finis the installation, window is now

functioning. BUT in this state, you will probably facing a problem that the window cant boot from

the HDD, although the 1st priority had been set at the BIOS to boot from hard disk. For me every

time I need to startup into window I need to boot from the flash drive.

Solution---- try using window recovering console, this really helpok sharing seasons again. As for

me, I can boot the recovering console at the window setup page, the solution is I login into windowby using my flash drive first, and I make an virtual drive(can be using power ISO) and load the

window xp cd (cause hp mini netbook dont hv cd room) so this step had to be done.

In order to install the window recovering console u can

go http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314058 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307654

If you have the recovering console the previous step can be skip.

After the console had been install by using the method above, the window recovering console will be

able to choose after the system is restart. Then follow the instruction from this

linkhttp://wintoflash.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=366

After finish all this step, window Xp will be able to load up normally from the hard disk of your

netbook.

If the window start up screen keep on appears, you can see the reference from this
