Given the state of Windows XP on it, I was left with no option but to do a clean install of UNR.</p> <h2 id="before">Before</h2> <p>The netbook was virus infected and was crashing as soon as it booted. Not even the safe mode command prompt only worked! So I decided to wipe the factory installed Windows XP and install UNR instead. It did take a bit of time to find out what to be downloaded and how to install.</p>
