Windows 7 on netbook

how does one do that without a rescue disc? nothing comes with the pc. it's factory installed. as far as not liking it, this is a netbook with 1gig of ram. xp works better in that kind of environment.

You installed 7 fine without a disc - why can't you copy the procedure for XP?
Admittedly, I've no idea how you used an ISO file and a flash drive to install 7 in the first place.

7 is a more efficient OS than XP. When it really hits the market in full force, you'll see that netbooks will start carrying 7 instead.

IF YOU deleted the recovery partition you cant go back to xp buddy

well the recovery will be on a diffrent partiton not on C, if you only formatted C without deleting the partition you can still access the
recovery partition. to see if its there do the following

right click on my computer and go to manage
then storage devices
the disk managment
see if there is a hidden partition called (eisa) that's the recovery one, usualy you cant delete it unless u boot with a seperate os disc
other than that just use an external cd drive or buy one or borrow one from a friend or neighbor or just a random guy and use it
to install xp back on "using an oem xp disk for either home edition or pro"

or keep windows 7, did you know windows 7 is like xp in the background? anything that works with xp will work with 7!!! its awsome
just give it few weeks to get used to it. when xp was released nobody liked it in the first 1 year..look now everyone is in love with it

You could get a USB CD-ROM Drive and use a XP disc to install.
