Question: Loading software What is the best way to load MS Office since this netbook does not have a CD drive?
Document: By sharing the CD-ROM drive of another computer, I've installed MS Office on it and have been able to keep three apps open simultaneously, on low-performance mode, with far better results than a few cheap desktops I've worked on.The keyboard is better than I'd expected. I did get confused by the shift and up-arrow keys, so I remapped them in the registry. I think netbook manufacturers should include a program to do this for you since not everyone is technically-oriented.
I received my netbook about a week or so ago and have kept it busy ever since. I immediately added the 2GB ram instead of the 1GB it comes with. I installed iTunes and converted several WMA CD files over and docked an iPod with it, and downloaded some songs and movies. I connected my external USB DVD burner and loaded MS Office and 3 digital movie copies on it. I moved all of my digital photos onto it.
I was able to install MS Office and other applications through 1 GB USB Flash Drive & 1GB SD card (just "copy and paste" -- copy from CD and paste to Flash Drive). Then just double click "setup" or "install" in eee 1000HA. I did this with all other applications several times. And after the installation, I formatted the flash drive/SD card and then copy & pasted other applications to install.This is very beautiful and functional netbook.
It's so easy to slide the card out of your camera and straight into Eee PC and give friends and family updates on your trip each day (without the need for an external card reader).It's got a nice keyboard, it's very user friendly with easy to use functions. The pre-loaded office software (MS Works) is nice (basically a watered down version of MS Office). If it's not enough, you can always load more.
Attempts to load several commercial programs from a network CD drive were unsuccessful because of built in security checks in the software.
I am converting all my personal movies for my personal use similar to my conversion from music CDs into MP3. A CD/DVD drive may become obsolete like a floppy drive with jump drives approaching 32 gig and more.I used an old HP external CD drive to load windows XP programs like Ghost and Partition magic. I will never use Windows Vista again since the bootup and shutdown time on my Asus eeepc is twice as fast.The 10 inch screen is bright and detailed.
Because of no CD drive onboard I added MS Office by sharing the CD drive on my desktop. It has a solid feel. I'm able to hold it by the top corner of the lid/display and pick it up (says not to though). I haven't timed the battery life but it still shows 50% after four hours in class.
The ASUS EeePC 1000HA is arguably the best mobility-for-your-dollar out  there. If you're not concerned about high-end graphics, or gaming, and just need something that will speed through web surfing, MS Office, and basic programs, then this netbook is for you.
Just select last version from the list.4. Battery life - before upgrading bios my battery meter was showing between 6 and 7 hours of life. Now after upgrade I see only 3 hours. Need to check with support why it happened.5. There is no CD-rom drive. Asus provides CD-Rom software with purchase, but there is no way of using it.
I replaced my Dell Inspiron E1505 with this 1000HA netbook from Asus. I have owned this product now for 6 months and I have to say it is one of the best electronic purchases I have ever made. I am running Windows XP Pro on this thing, with all of my programs (MS Office, Adobe Photoshop, and many other misc programs). It runs smooth and fast.
Answer: Copy the software from the CD to a flash drive and the plug the flash drive into the ASUS and youre good to go. Works for me.I also purchase a little slim CD/DVD burner on ebay for about 46 bux. it plugs into two of the usb points, one for data and one for power. It's about 1/2" thick and just a little bigger the a CD.
