I install it using a thumb drive, try both way with drivers intergrated and without. But when i create the xp files from the same CD and loaded it with the thumb on my desktop no issue though, anyone can kindly advise

Most install errors have something to do with memory. Your using a Thumb drive, what happened to the CDROM?

At what point are you getting the error?

Format the Thumb drive using a different utility?

UMPC aka mini note book doesn't comes with CD Rom, oso mine is running a SSD with a capacity of 8G. Got the error when halfway through xp setup whereby it mention is going to load window which about to see the drive which we can choose to format (there's where the error and blue screen appear)

Oh yar by default the umpc is pre install with linpus linus lite, i'm trying to get rid of it and install xp

Wait, you are trying to install XP on a PC with an 8Gb drive? You better try and use nLite and strip that XP down to the bare minimum. There is a reason they loaded that PC with Linux, you know.

How much RAM in that little box? Chris.

I suspect it could be due to the above but then xp is only a few hundred mb, so a 8G drive should be more than enough. Infact i did use Nlite as well as use usb multi boot but still crashes upon loading, hmm maybe some of the step i've have done it wrongly. Hopefully is not the SSD or ram that is going haywire

Ram wise is 1G....

Here is some more stuff that I have found

The link on the instruction is clear and precise. Though i have found numerous similar step online, i follow ur link and put all the files onto the thumb drive but the same error and blue screen occur, i was above to give up then i remember i have a san disk thumb drive 2G and i try installing the files onto this drive, once i inserted it on aspire one and rebooted i expect it to encounter blue screen again but then........ wooooohoooo mama mia, it WORK MAN!!!!!!!!!! ...... HOHOHOHOHO...... MERRY X"MAS & a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Many tks to u Santa "Dmdilks" as well as Chris

On of the neatest things I own is a pocket notebook case.

Makes me wonder if the 8GB SSd would fit in it, cause it turns those drives into USB externals.

Then there are these converter connectors. Turns a 2.5 drive into a 3.5....you might grab one of these for when things get rough with laptop types.



Glad you got it working tho. How well does it perform?
