It's easy as pie. The hardware is identical to the XP version, and the system will readily boot off external USB devices. And then just use a USB flash drive on another computer to download all the XP drivers from Dell's site.

I bought the lenovo s10 instead of this one. The S10 is great.

These mini laptops are meant for minimal used. It is hard to look at such a small display. I purchased the Acer with W XP 120gb, and while it looks great, using it for extended periods of times can cuase blindness.
By the way, Acers are better built and they give you more for your $$. don't bother with these with SD GBs instead of Hard drives. You will regret it, like must of my friends that got these king. I got the Acer at Amazon for 360, no tax no S/H.

At the same price, the Acer blows the doors off this pup.
