How to Put Windows XP on an EEE PC 900A
The EEE PC 900, an Asus mini-computer, may or may not include a disc drive built into the machine, depending on its configuration. If your computer doesn't have a disc drive, you'll need to have an external USB CD or DVD drive to install the Windows XP operating system onto the computer. This, coupled with the Windows XP installation disc and a valid product key, enables you to put XP onto your EEE PC.
