Install a lightweight version of Windows XP on the Asus Eee PC using nLite

Step 7
Click Next to continue to the Unattended install screen. You can enter your Windows XP Product Key on the General tab to save entering every time you use this install CD. Tick the box for Turn off Hibernate – there isn’t enough space on the SSD to devote to it (note for Eee PC 900 users: if you're installing Windows XP on the Linux model with 20Gb SSD, you can leave this option enabled) .

Step 8
Click the Owner and Network ID tab and enter the Computer Name, Workgroup and Full Name. You can always enter this information later during the install process, but it’s simpler to add it here.

Step 9
