RECOMMENDED:The much awaited Windows 7 RC has come out with added features such as the Windows XP Mode (XPM). Though Windows 7 Beta was very stable for primary use, many users hesitated to install it. But with Windows 7 RC, you can now install Windows 7 on your primary machines including Netbooks.Installing Windows 7 on a Netbook isn’t as easy as installing on Laptops or desktops that come with in-built DVD drive. Since we can’t use DVD media to install on Netbook, we need to use an USB (Pen drive or Flash drive) to make it happen.

Windows Vista or windows 7 running machine to create bootable USB stick.4. Lastly, your Acer Aspire One with 100% charged battery or connected to power supply. Install Windows 7 on Acer Aspire One netbook1. We need to create a bootable USB stick of Windows 7 first.

To make it happen insert your USB stick and then copy or move all your contents (if any) to a drive.2. Next, open Command Prompt with admin rights. You can use either of the given methods below to open Command Prompt with admin rights (also known as elevated command prompt).Type cmd in Start menu search box and hit Ctrl+ Shift+ Enter.Or.Go to Start menu All programs Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.3.

Just minimize it.5. Next insert your Windows7 DVD into the optical drive and check the drive letter of the DVD drive (Double-click computer icon to know).

In this guide I will assume that your DVD drive letter is “D” and USB drive letter is “H” (open my computer to know about it).In case, if you don’t have Windows 7 DVD and have just ISO, you need to use a free software named. Download Virtual Clone Drive, then use the Virtual Drive letter as you DVD drive letter after mounting the Windows 7 DVD image. You can also your WinRAR software to extract the Windows 7 ISO file to desktop.6. Maximize the minimized Command Prompt in the 4th step.Type the following command now:D:CD BOOT and hit enter.Where “D” is your DVD drive letter.CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.7.

Type another command given below to update the USB drive with BOOTMGR compatible code.BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 H:Where “H” is your USB drive letter.

Your should begin now.11. Installing Windows 7 is very easy, very similar to installing Vista. Just follow the onscreen procedure to finish the installation process. For those of you bashing the ZGF, I 100% agreed until yesterday when I was given an OCZ SSD. I threw that in and installed Win7, it’s running legitimately 10x faster than it was with a spinning drive on WinXP. I’ll be throwing a 1GB stick of RAM in it, at $5, there’s no reason not to. Then I’ll be adding an a/b/g/n WiFi adapter for the grand sum of $4.20.

Honestly I’m happy with it with just the SSD. The difference is INCREDIBLE. Once I up the RAM and add the better WiFi card, it should be pretty nice. In all honesty, I’d say it’s comparable to my Samsung with i3, 8GB Crucial, and 7200 spinning disc.

The SSD sure makes a SERIOUS difference. My advice, if you’re unhappy with the performance of your ZG5, I highly suggest dropping the roughly $50 on an SSD. I will be using this a LOT more.

Especially after I add theRAM and WiFi card. I’ve also seen articles about putting a touchscreen screen into the ZG5. If I figure out how to do it and where to get one though, I do intend on giving it a shot. Would be a great little touchscreen Netbook at that point. My only wish was that I could swap out the board on the right with the USBs to have USB 3.0.Rob says. I was given an Acer Aspire One, it has Windows 7 on it.

I will admit that I’ve never used this system before, only XP. It says it has intel Atom inside, energy star,ultra thin,10.1 LED,WIFI certified,Processor450(1.66GHz,512KB Cache). It has 1GBMemory and 160TH HDD of storage.I got it and it seems to have all types of problems. It freezes immediately. As soon as I turn it on it freezes.

I can’t access the internet. The previous owner said she restored the system before giving it to me. It shows over 1,000 things wrong and in need of updating.

It also asks for a verifacation key or some type of key code I think you would have received sheen you purchased or signed up. It needs virus protection but I can’t get it to let me on the internet because it freezes and stays that way.I wanted to do a factory reset but I don’t have a computer or a Windows 7 disk. I know this netbook has been reset numerous times.I would love to fix it and update the system.

I actually paid for Backup and I can’t do anything with it until I can get it fixed.I Guess it’s time for me to ask what can I do to fix all the problems? Is there anyway I can do a factory reset without the Windows disk or without using a flash drive? I think that there might be too many prob.Berenise says. Hi, i dont really know what im doing here, this is the first thing of this kind i have tried.Firstly, because I was using xp i had to use mbr wizard to make the drive bootable. When i was trying to make the usb drive ‘active’, it would be confirmed but when i checked again using mbrwiz/list it would still say it wasnt active. Any ideas?my aspire one is running on linpus linux atm, when i select to boot from the usb stick, it appears to boot normally and no sign of it wanting to install. I can access the data on the usb stick but the ‘setup’ icon is an executable file.

Have i just got the wrong iso? What is going wrong?thanks in advance for your help, will.Lara says. Hey all!!Thought I would add my two centsok here’s the dealI have tried EVERYTHING to boot my Acer Aspire One Netbook KAV10 from USB. I was booting from Windows xp so the “diskpart” method would not work. I even did some methods using MBRWizard and still my Acer would not detect my USB upon rebootI eventually screwed up my USB and had to restore it through a ubuntu Terminal!SO here is my solution that WORKED.this is for all those who were in my position trying to figure this out for days.1.

First I Downloaded my Windows.ISO and found a ISO program called UltraISO.2. Attach your USB to your computer3. Load your ISO image into UltraISO via the “File–Open–Your Windows ISO”4.

Click on the “Bootable” drop down menu and select “Write Image File.”5. Make sure its writing to the drive which your USB is connected to6. Click Write.This will essentially “burn” the ISO to your USB stick the same way it would to a CD7. When it is done go to “MY Computer” and Click it and hit the “Setup” buttonand tada! Let it go through its normal setup process.This by-passes all the programing crap, and does it all for you in one program!Hope this helpslet me know if it works for you.Rick says. This has been a very useful site so I though I would post my experiences:I recently bought an Acer Aspire One A150 (1GB RAM, 120GB hard disk, Linpus Linux) – for you UK’ers Expansys are doing a good deal on these at the moment (£150 as of 7/7/2009).As it happened I played with the Linux desktop that came with it and was actually quite impressed.

As part of this playing around I performed a Live Update.I wanted to install Windows 7 RC so after downloading the 32 bit version, I came to this very useful site to create the bootable USB disk (in my case I used a fast 4GB CompactFlash card in a USB card reader). This worked fine and, after booting from it on the Aspire One, I sucessfully installed Windows 7 (it even automatically detected the built in WiFi chipset).Because this was so successful, I bought another Aspire One A150 from Expansys and proceeded to try to install Windows 7 from the same CompactFlash card. This failed with a boot error from the Windows Boot Manager. This had me stumped for a while until I realised I hadn’t done a Live Update within the Aspire One’s Linux desktop. After letting the Live Update complete and rebooting to the CompactFlash card, Windows 7 installed successfully.In summary: do a Live Update in the Aspire One’s Linux environment first before trying the Windows 7 install (I am not sure why the Live Update causes a boot from the CompactFlash card in a card reader to work though).Jacou says.
