I know this thread is over a year old but I had some info that might help someone in the future. We got an Asus EEEPC 1005HAB in for virus work and it ended up we needed to reinstall XP.

Ask a question. Reinstall Windows XP home on Acer Aspire one [Closed] TelfordTrev Posts 2. XP home edition came preinstalled, and the pc was supplied.

The 'recovery partition' was gone or damaged and would not work so we tried an OEM install of XP home but then the COA on the bottom was a ASUS XP HOME ULCPC and it would not work. It would come up with a immediate request to activate but not work online or provide a alphanumeric string for the telephone activation. I know you can do some fooling around with a special disk setup to get working but I was in no mood to start prepping a disk or doing some kind of slipstreaming.

I remembered I had an 'HP/Compaq XP HOME for ULTRA LOW COST PERSONAL COMPUTERS with service pack 3' disk and figured, what the heck. The thing installed perfectly, allowed for rebooting and all kinds of updates. It kept telling me to activate so I finally did and it failed (probably some kind of HP/Compaq system poking) and told me to key in the COA. So I took the ASUS coa on the bottom, put it in and it activated fine and has been running ever since, including 110+ updates. There is no bloatware from this install, just looks like a pure XP install perhaps with HP/Compaq related drivers INCLUDING the more advanced SATA stuff that fails on so many reinstalls on older machines which is what this ASUS needed, it didn't want the F6 added drivers as it said the ones on the HP/Compaq XP were newer. Just wanted to note that if you have a HP/Compaq or other ULCPC version of XP and need one for a different netbook maker, give it a try and it will probably work.

I will be trying this on a Toshiba netbook this weekend that also needs XP ULCPC and will post more if I can. I know this thread is over a year old but I had some info that might help someone in the future.
