Installed per directions, however, when I reboot and remove the usb drive the installer runs again just like when I booted off the usb drive.

Thanks a lot for this write-up. I was searching the net for this exact type of write-up. You helped me a lot with the partitioner, since I was a little weary about what HD to install the OS on; since I’m a Windows user and have never used Linux before. Again, thanks a lot for creating this

The “guided – resize” of the hard drive partitions is indeed not available when installing Ubuntu on Eee PC 1000 HA. This is because all four PRIMARY partitions are already in use. In addition to the the two large visible ones, C (Windows) and D (userdata), there are two smaller hidden ones. The solution is to use a partition tool (like gparted) to first select the desired size of C. Then delete D and replace it by an EXTENDED partition, before adding a LOGICAL NTFS partition on it to become the new D. Now install Ubuntu, and the Logical D partition can be divided into two parts using the “guided – resize” slider.

Assuming you installed Ubuntu Eee AFTER Xandros was already installed, when you boot your Eee PC you should be given the choice between starting Ubuntu (and Ubuntu in safe mode etc) and Xandros.

I don’t get the ‘guided – resize’ option when I try to install on my 1000ha. I don’t know why.

I successfully installed to a SD card on my eee 901. Booted off usb stick per these instructions, chose the “Manual” partitioning so I could have total control of the storage allocation. Install went smoothly, and best of all ubuntu configured grub just as I wanted it: boot/run grub off SD card with choice to boot original WinXP that my 901 came with. Love the dual boot
