Hi! I got a nlited install, used the usb_MultiBoot_9 and _8 to prepare the pendrive, but in any case I get an error saying that misses the eula file, even with a non nlited source.

My Eee's HD is formated in fat32, AFAIR, and if I use the recovery console in the install, and try to get into the folders of the USB, I get 'access is denied' errors.

Some information can be found here: [link]http://forum.eeeuser...ic.php?id=29386[/link]

Which program did you use to format your USB disk?
Does it have an encrypted or CD-like partition? What about a write-protect switch, does it have and is it on?
Is eula.txt present in $WIN_NT$.~LS\I386 ?
Please post your WINNT.SIF in $WIN_NT$.~BT folder, hiding your serial number.

Reformat your stick using HP USB format tool and try again.
You didn't answer a few questions.

You may also try to add to [data] section-
EulaComplete="1"

But try reformatting first.

Oh, the HD is in fat32

[Gatoelho]

with the 1 it started, made a ntfs partition but it can't find the hal.dll file...

[ilko_t]

Sorry, I am losing you.
What 1? In boot.ini or EulaComplete="1"?
When did you get "hal.dll missing", when starting the GUI mode setup? If yes- where are you installing Windows to? What partition and what folder name? Did you change boot.ini if other than partition 1, WINDOWS folder?

Without enough information from you, I'll have to go for my Crystal Ball, which went for servicing due to excessive usage .

Sorry, was on hurry... Putting the EulaComplete="1" made me skip the eula step, after it I got hal.dll errors, but it was cause I wasn't making it boot through the pendrive, so, PEBKAC problems.

Finally it works!

Good, thanks for letting us know. However, it's a workaround for missing EULA.TXT, you have something wrong in the setup, but with the information given I cannot help you further.

@jaclaz- thanks, I do appreciate the gesture, especially when knowing how often you have to use it
