The Eee laptop lacks a CD / DVD rive. To install Windows on it, one needs to either plug an external drive into the USB port, or create an image of a hard drive with Windows already installed and use a cloning tool on a bootable USB drive to copy the image bit for bit to the Eee's hard drive.
There's no single way to install Windows XP. As there is no CD / DVD drive, you have two main choices:
1. Purchase an external CD / DVD drive. Plug it into a USB port on the Aspire, and then access the BIOS, Make sure the CD drive is first, and insert your Windows XP disc. You should now be able to install it normally.
2. Use a bootable Flash drive. This method will be far more difficult, and requires a moderate amount of experience with computers. First you will need to install QEMU on another computer. Create a hard drive the same size or smaller than the one in the Acer. Install Windows XP to it using QEMU. Copy the hard drive image onto a USB Flash drive. Now install some version of Linux on it, such as Puppy Linux or Damn Small Linux. Howtos are available in the Related Links section below. Boot from the Flash drive, and access a command line. Find your hard drive in the /dev folder (probably sda or hda). Now issue the following command
dd if=image.img of=/dev/hda
This will make an exact copy of the hard drive image to the hard drive in the Acer. Waituntil the command is completely done. Now turn off the computer and unplug the flash drive. When you power it back on, it should boot into Windows.

Can you burn CDs and DVDs into an Acer Aspire One?
The most basic answer is that no, you can't. The Acer Aspire does not come equipped with a CD drive. If you want to transfer data from a CD onto your acer aspire you can do it several ways: 1. Through another computer (via the network, for example) 2. From a thumbdrive. 3. By purchasing an external CD drive. You can find fairly cheap ones nowadays. Just make sure it does the job you need it to do (i.e. if you need to be able to use it to burn information onto a CD, make sure you find one with that capability)

You dont have to format the drive to install windows. But it is a good idea. If you try to install windows onto a drive which already has windows on it (working or non-working) it will probably refuse to continue instead preferring to attempt to fix the existing install. You can get around this by renaming or deleting the original windows folder
Can you install the windows vista that was included with the purchase of a PC onto your mac with bootcamp?
If Vista came installed with the computer when new then it's against the licensing agreement of Microsoft to install it onto another computer. Windows is tied to the hardware of the computer so you can't install it onto other computers. If you bought the computer and a retail version of Vista at the same time then yes you can de-authorize the old one and install it onto another one.
