    Need help with micro pc linux to windows
    « on: March 05, 2012, 03:45:08 PM »
    I have a micro pc that i need to change from linux to windows. The micro has 1-2 gig of ram and an internal flash memory i believe. I can get to the bios and have change to boot from usb first, and have a usb with windows xp on it plugged into micro when I reboot. Then it looks as if doing something but it doesn't. This the extent of my knowledge and looking for help on doing this.
    Thanks in advance.....

    Model # and make please...

    Many of these netbooks will not allow an OS change...hence why they sold so cheap.

        no info anywhere. I took a chance because of all the good feedback of people buying the units. Seller not responding to emails. I dont see why It wouldnt be able to be changed, just have to dig a little bit
