peterpan Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 hi has anyone managed to install xp pro onto a samsung nc20? im trying to install via a usb CD and it keeps failing. any ideas anyone?
Dom_ Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Do you have another USB CD drive? I had a similar issue with the EEE's
DevilsAdvocate Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 At what point is it failing? You could try install it from a USB Flash drive. This is a good guide for doing so - EEEguides.com: Install Windows XP on the Asus Eee PC
Dom_ Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Mine wouldn't work from pen drive either, using a different CD Drive worked for me, also there was a setting in the bios that changed the hard drive mode, had to set that to 'install'. Don't know if that will be the same for yours though
DevilsAdvocate Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Yeah, you may need to change the SATA mode from Native to Compatible.
peterpan Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 its not got that option on the nc20, not that i can see anyway. going to try and get hold of another cd drive
