    Greetings,
    I'm having trouble restoring Windows XP SP3 on an Aspire One, Model ZG5.

    Using an external USB/CD, I boot from the System Disk and, following the recovery options, am prompted for "Recovery disc 1" where I insert the Windows XP SP3 Home Editiion CD (for distribution with a new Acer...). The restore seems to proceed, Copying 100% of required files from "Z:\Images\", but on next step install aborts and throws "Restore failed - reason 0x0000048f" with a progress-bar at 1%.

    Any idea what I might be doing wrong? I'm tempted to start messing with partitions but am afraid of doing more damage...

    Thanks/Cheers!
