    I bought an Acer Aspire One D250 the weekend after Thanksgiving. Shortly after, I reformatted the drive, installed Xubuntu 9.10, and have been running smoothly ever since. However, I realised I wanted/needed to install XP on a separate partition. So, I got myself a USB drive, stuck in the XP install disc, and during the Windows setup process, it says there are no hard drives. This is obviously not true, and furthers the stereotype that Windows is an awful OS.

    Has anyone else had this problem? And does anyone know a way to fix it? If I can't get it to work, no big deal. The only reason I want XP on it is the watch Netflix.
