K basicly,this netbook has no dvd drive [wat kind of crap is this?] 330 dollars, i could have got a good used laptop for that price...anyway...
So this ''mini-pc'' comes with pre-installed windows-xp-home-service pack 3...If I had my way service pack 3 would be off this netbook so fast HP's head would spin, but, doesn't look like I can remove SP3, because I don't even see a way to uninstall SP3 from the add/remove programs menu.
But thats not the main problem, i can live with sp3 beause all i use this netbook for is music and movies anyway, so....what i want is to be able to uninstall media player 11 and replace it with media player 10. Unfourtunately this is impossible for some reason and I have tried almost everything to remove 11. Keeps saying ''folders are missing to remove this'' or something.
sigh, any hope? or will i have to just live with 11 on this netbook.
Quote:At their inception in late 2007 — as smaller notebooks optimized for low weight and low cost — netbooks omitted key features (e.g., the optical drive), featured smaller screens and keyboards, and offered reduced specification and computing power.

thats for starters. read before you buy.
if you want to reformat your netbook here's a way > http://komku.blogspot.com/2008/11/instal...flash-disk.html on top of all you should realy start using google.
yikes, I'm not sure I would try that rocket science in the near future. Guess I'll just have to live with media player 11, and plus the thing is this netbook didn't come with a drivers disk [no duh] so that makes things even more difficult to reinstall...i don't know if i wanna mess with it, I think I will just take it back if something goes wrong within a year.
netbook and laptop manufacturers usually give good support on their websites as far as the driver problem goes. i would suggest not to remove windows components as you might end up with broken system. windows tends to do that.
