Evening all,

I've got an eee900 with Xandros installed, I bought a 4gb sd card with the plan to install a couple of small light distros to see how they go on the netbook. So i used unetbootin and created a Xubuntu live usb stick, booted using that on the netbook and installed it on the sd card.

Great so far, when i boot the netbook i get grub error 21. I'm a bit stuck now, is my best bet to try and find a xandros live usb stick and alter grub that way?

I think the mistake i made was to install grub with the Xubuntu install

H.E.L.P :D
 
Actually it's alright now, I had a read of the manuals that came with the netbook. You can wipe and reinstall xandros using a usb stick from the cd/dvd, it's back to factory settings now.

I'll give it another go now lol
 
Ha Ha thanks for posting Manic, I'm just installing Xubuntu again on a usb stick. I'll give it another go on the SD card, I'm not sure how i don't install grub though.
 
no offense taken, I just couldnt work out how to edit Xandros. In the past with ubuntu, I've used a live cd to edit grub
 
Has anyone completely wiped their netbook, installed a distro and then reinstalled xandros? If yes, did it work ok by just using the DVD/CD's that came with the netbook?
