Hey guys. I just got a free Acer Aspire ONE NAV50 that was "broken." After replacing the screen with a new LCD and the keyboard with a new OEM board (net cost for me including s/h 55$) and reformatting the hdd to factory settings it works great. Minus right and left click on the track pad needing a bit more pressure than needed to acknowledge clicks.
Anyhow, this Windows 7 Starter is absolutely horrible. I have a Windows 7 Ultimate disc and run that on all my other devices. However this netbook doesn't have a disc drive. I don't want to go spend the money on an external disc drive just for the os so I'm looking into alternatives.
I was trying to follow this guide: Install Windows 7 From USB to make a bootable flash drive w/ my 4gb flash drive but receive a cmd error when trying to "CLEAN."
Is my 4gb flash drive just too small?... I do have a 160gb external hdd. Maybe I could use that?...
As I've always used the boot disc to do this, I'm a bit lost when I ran into that road block on that guide. Any help is appreciated.
