if I get 2gb of memory for my mini, can I upload windows vista on it that is from my inspiron 1501? I have the disk that came from dell, but can I have both Vista Home Premium OSs run on both computers?
Now that the mini 9 has been out for a bit and everyone's tinkered with it, what are your observations of OS speeds? I want to get a 9 or a 10 but i'm undecided as to which OS to run as my main OS on it.
I'd love to throw Windows 7 on there somehow (torrent it onto a thumbdrive maybe).

If buying a netbook TODAY, we would recommend the Mini 10, hands down. However if you can wait till the summer, we are very excited about the next batch of netbooks that will utilize the NVidia 9400M chipset coupled with Intel Atom processors. This combination has the potential to bring netbooks with great battery life as well as video performance that is currently out of reach of the Intel US15W chipset .....

When my 1012 is booting there is an alarm (beeping) before Windows comes up. Not a few beeps, but probably 50-100. What is this and how can it be mutted?Â
My netbook stopped working properly. When started I get the Windows could not start properly. When selecting the repair windows option it loads windows files, but eventually comes back to the same screen. When I hit F8 for advanced boot options, none of the options, safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, last know good configuration, etc. do no workl. They will go through a progression but end up back to the winows could not properly start page. Dell sent me Windows 7 Starter usb installation and the resource discs. How do I initiate the install from the USB?
As an experiment I just installed WIN8 on my HP210 Mini. It seems to work just fine, except for the apps. WIN warns me that they cannot run because they require a resolution of 1060*768 wheras the original driver for the HP210 only supports up to 1060*600. Â Question: is there a way to cope with this problem and get the apps working?
I recently formatted my HP Mini 5101 with a retail version of Windows 7 Ultimate.
Unfortunatly I have not been able to enable wifi on the machine. I have tried all the drivers at HP but still nothing.
The switch on the front of the netbook seems to enable/disable bluetooth but not wifi. That switch stays orange all the time and it used to be blue when wifi was enabled before I formatted.
here is where I am getting my drivers from. here is where I am getting my drivers from.
I chose the Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.4GHz) cpu and ati 3670 graphics card, but with windows vista 32 bit. From what I've recently read, OS 32 bit does not take all the 4 gb RAM. Does anyone among you have the same specs with windows 32-bit? Does your laptop read 4gb of RAM or do you only get 2.75-3.5gb of RAM?
Is it possible for me to get win 7 64 bit instead of 32 bit when it is released.
By the way, I got a friend who has a XPS M1730 with a 2.53ghz core 2 duo and 4gb of ram and using win vista 32 bit, but he told me that his laptop does read 4gb of ram.Any explanation?
I have window 7 HP Mini 5103 that came with it but i install window 8 and the desktop application of window is not work on my HP Mini. it keep showing that my screen resolution is too low for this app to run ....

I have also confirmed I have a microsoft product key and it is not a serial #, model # etc. It is clearly marked.Â
I have a Microsoft Windows 10 on a trial basis that works OK but not the 7.
Since yesterday, i can not find how to go to bios setting or how to go to booting option.I have read all articles on this forum about pressing esc, f9, or f10 when notebook begin starting.But never work. All of this button never work.
Combination with fn button, but it also didn't work. Everytime i press fn+f9 or fn+f10 when notebook begin start doesn show bios or booting menu.
Does it becouse i use windows 8? My notebook is HP Mini 110-3500 with Windows 8 in it.
Then i try to search 'how to go to bios setting in windows 8', i found many articles, most of them using UEFI bios setting. But on my HP Mini there is no UEFI setting?
How to go to bios setting or how to go to booting options? i want to reinstall this HP Mini using my usb flash drive.
I'm trying to figure out the difference between the two other than the casing (one's metal and one's plastic). The 2140 uses a SATA connector vs a PATA connector. So for $25 extra(lowest config 2140 vs highest config 1000) you get a metal case and SATA connector?
Why would anyone buy the 1000? Am I missing something? Oh and the 2140 has a higher volatage adapter for 'fast charging'...what's left for the 1000?
