![]() Many internet searches later told me that was because the installer didn’t have the SATA AHCI drivers to access my hard disk. ![]() The installer blue-screened with the error 0x0000007B. Next I installed from scratch using a Windows XP Home SP2 OEM install disk I had from another computer. I then tried to restore from the XP recovery image on the DVD that came with my 1000H (using a USB DVD drive), which appeared to install ok, but then crashed whenever I tried to boot. Sadly the Asus F9 recovery partition must have been wiped when Windows 7 was installed, so that didn’t work. I then tried to revert to a system restore point (hopefully before it was connected to the domain controller) but that managed to kill the installation completely. But then it still wanted to connect to a domain controller, and I couldn’t find a way to deactivate that. It was password protected, but I managed to reset the Administrator password. This 1001P originally had Windows XP Home (licence sticker on the bottom) but had been upgraded to Windows 7 Professional. Like my 1000H, the battery is dead, so it will only work off mains. I’ve since cannibalised an old Dell 19V laptop PSU as a more permanent solution. So I rigged up 19V from my bench power supply, and it indeed turned on. So it would be good to get this one working again.īut this had no PSU, and it requires 19V/2A, rather than the 12V of the 1000H. This 1001P is two years newer than my 1000H – slimmer, lighter, 160GB hard disk instead of 80GB, and my 1000H now has a rattling fan that is probably on its way out. I already have an EeePC (the 1000H) which I love, and still occasionally use when I need a Windows installation (I’m now a Mac user). ![]() ![]() I rescued some PSUs, a generic Android netbook, a 1TB hard drive (from a faulty hard disk recorder), and an Asus EeePC 1001P netbook: ![]() I recently acquired a whole load of obsolete electronics, when a bag of electronic waste was fly-tipped in my garden!Īs I prefer re-use to recycling, I rescued what I could, before passing the rest on to the council for proper recycling. ![]()
