Yesterday, 10:11 PM Blog Entries: 5   | Slight fail on installing XP You can hide this advertisement by registering. A few of you might remember when I got my netbook for school. It came with gOS, a distro of linux which i was relatively pleased with. I tried installing XP via bootable USB and all went okay until I tried connecting the internet and discovered that approximately 8 drivers were missing!I'm a little down about it since I couldn't keep gOS as well as XP but I saved the files I needed (my school work, music and movies).
