Getting Started

I use a DOS shareware program called Aefdisk to handle the partitioning (ver1.7 for testing 2.2+ is on their website). I use SnapShot for the disk imaging. You can download a time limited trial from their website. The backup feature stops working after a certain time but the restore always works.

First install Windows XP on your computer, and once you have it setup how you want it, use SnapShot within Windows to create an image file of the C drive, and call it C-DRIVE.SNA

Menu Details

Delete Partitions:
Deletes all Partitions on the first disk.
Installs Standard DOS MBR loader on the first disk.

Create Single Partition:
Deletes all Partitions on the first disk.
Installs Standard DOS MBR loader on the first disk.
Creates a single NT Partition 1 of the total size of the first disk.

Create Partitions with Boot Booster: (Eee PC only)
Deletes all Partitions on the first disk.
Installs Standard DOS MBR loader on the first disk.
Creates an 8mb EFI Partition 2 at the end of the first disk.
Creates an NT Partition 1 of the remaining size of the first disk.

The EFI Partition is so that the BIOS Boot Booster feature is shown.
Boot Booster basically caches part of the Bios to that partition so when you boot
it skips the Asus Logo and Bios checks.

Do not enable Boot Booster in the BIOS until XP has been installed.

Please note the 8mb size was created for the 701 (4G) so you may need to
edit this for your Eee PC model, depending on the size of the drive.

Install Standard DOS MBR loader:
Installs Standard DOS MBR loader on the first disk.

Show Disk Information:
Shows Partition information for the first disk.
Shows Partition information for the USB disk.

Restore from Image:
Restores a Partition on the first disk from an Image file.
Checks that the first disk is bootable, fixes if not.

Restore MBR from Image:
Restores the first disk MBR from an Image file.

Restore Partition Structure from Image:
Restores the first disk Partition Structure from an Image file.

Restore Partition Structure and MBR from Image:
Restores the first disk Partition Structure from an Image file.
Restores the first disk MBR from an Image file.

Restore Complete Partition from Image:
Restores the first disk Partition Structure from an Image file.
Restores the first disk MBR from an Image file.
Restores a Partition on the first disk from an Image file.
Checks that the first disk is bootable, fixes if not.

DOS Command Options:
Advanced users can exit to DOS and use any command line options.
Type AEFDISK/? for Disk Partitioning options.
Type SNAPSHOT/? for Disk Image Restore options.
