O_o If anyone can guess what I'm trying to say here, its that I'm installing vista on my eee pc! Why?!
As a proof of concept, I haven't seen anyone try, and I know for a fact that vista will not install without modification, but I seem to have got the right modifications in place so that vista just fits! It's very tight but it is installing. I'll post a screenie

I'll be impressed either way, but I'm fairly sure this has been tried elsewhere :p

Also, what tool did you use to customize your vista installation? vLite?

Hehe, 1.0 is what my 4+ year-old Thinkpad T40 scored when I tried putting vista on it. Show a picture of your C: disk usage...please?

It's not pretty but sure i'm just gonna remove the page file first

truth be said, vista, with the correct settings, can probably run very well on this machine.

i just don't know why you would... xp will run better, and do everything you could need. The extra security is largely overrated, and it's not like you will have amazingly important things on the eee anyway.. and you don't have a directx10 card or anything :p

Ya, but still, its kinda cool seeing vista boot in under a min. Anyways does anyone know where the camera driver is? on the disk the EEE pc came with? of can anyone supply me with it so i can try to force vista to install it. heh thats the only thing that doesnt work.

Have you enabled the webcam in the bios?

very cool but in a few days you will switch back to xp..

Also, I would probably go back to XP, but i don't have a spare copy of that I could use -_- all my computers are occupying them lol.
ok, so the APCI is now properly installed, and the eee pc doesnt complain about drivers anymore.

But look at that 4.1 score for "Primary Hard Drive"! That's what an SSD can do versus a rotating magnetic platter.

YOU ARE A SICK SICK MAN.

Update EEE pc upgradedwith 1 gig ram, and 8804 bios. It runs like a champ. With the upgraded bios I notice no screen distortion or any problems. Just greatly boot speed. This is also due to ram increase but the bios change plus 100mhz fsb gave me 4.2 in memory, up from 4.1, 2.2 in cpu up from 1.8(windows preformance test).

i am just waiting for my ide-usb and 8gb sd, then i am deffo gonna try this 
.. i always planned too..
Offline
did u manage to install it on the 4gig sd? doesnt vista require 5.3 gig free to install?
Offline
Using Vlite I managed to shrink it to about 2.7 gigs removing useless stuffs, however windows updates have bloated it up to 3.3 gigs

And then dont forget that Vista SP1 is on the way, not sure how big that is going to be...
@lachy94 the much of the security of Vista at present is being brought in to SP3 for XP so that is going to bloat things out as well, from what I could see the betas that are out now are around 340Mb, just an idea to leave a little overhead if you plan on installing it.
