    I have an acer aspire one netbook with windows xp. As xp is no longer supported I thought I would try to load android to see how it worked on my netbook. Now when I turn on the computer I get an error message just saying Error 15. Can anyone help please?

    Here is what you can do if you have another functioning Windows computer and a USB flash drive of at least 4 gigs. Read about it here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
    Before trying to install on your Acer netbook you will first need to get into the netbook's Bios and change the boot order to USB drive first. I installed this version of Linuz on an old Acer AOA-150. I now can either boot into Windows 7 Home or Kubuntu. In your case, you just want Kubuntu only.

    Sorry, I am in Spain. I got there in the end by going to pendrivelinux.com and navigating to the easy installer from there.It is now installed on my netbook and I guess I could restore the XP software from the linux software? I am sending this using Linux Ubuntu on my netbook.
