I guess it should work with any OS on any comp. You only have to make sure that you have two USB ports next to each other - not more than 1-2 inches apart. The thing needs to be plugged into two holes and connection cable is real short.

It will work as long as you have two free usb ports within about 4-6 inches of each other on your PC (because the included connecting cable uses two ports to proved enough power to burn discs). The Windows XP OS will immediately recognize the drive when you plug it in.

It works just fine with XP. The hardware is well-supported. It is the software you want to be concerned about.

I purchased the EeePC withthe 4 GBhD with Windows XP installed. I found that the combination of the automatic Windows updates and Antivirus updates rapidly filled the 4GB HD and now the system doesn't operate well despite the fact that i have not installed any program on the HD.No one seems to have an answer at ASUS except turn off the updates. I am not happy with the situation, faced with a hard drive upgrade.Wayne

I don't know how it would work with XP (if XP has appropriate drivers). I am using it on a machine running Windows 8.

Yes, I am using it on a Dell XPS 8500 w/windows 7, 64-bit with no problems.

Yes it is as long as you can get the drivers for it. Window is discontinuing support for XP

If you have an empty slot on your motherboard it will. You might need to download a driver update from the Creative website in fact you should first check if updates are available and that will assure you that it will work in an XP system.

I do not know, I bought it for my wife and she is using XP on her PC. It works great there.

I wanted XP and this came with it. I am hooked up to a router from my internet server so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. My Dell works very well.

Yes. As long as your system has a PCI port it will work fine with all versions of XP.

I haven't tried to do it, but I don't see why not so long as there is a Mint/Linux kernel for that CPU and drivers. Note that the machine came with the OS installed so be sure to do a backup and boot media. You might want to contact ASUS: http://service.asus.com, +01888-678-3688 to be sure.

Yes. I started with windows XP for testing and initial set up. If you are using a video card that has HDMI out put, install the mother board audio after the video card drivers are installed. This is nessessary because the video audio drivers will take out the mother board sound. Other than that no problems

I have an older laptop (about 8 yers old) with Windows XP. No problems at all.

Yes it will work, but it is not plug and play. You have to follow the instructions that are included. Dont forget XP isnt supported past April 8

Yes you can. It even comes with the Windows XP drivers (you'll need them), which is nice because downloading them from the ASUS web site takes a LONG time, no matter what your internet connection speed is. They're in Taipei, and from here it seems like their servers are connected via a 56k modem. It's not the easiest process, though. There's no CD drive, so you'll have to install from a USB drive, or possibly share a CD drive from another computer on the network. Make sure you have the Windows drivers on a USB drive, since you won't have network connectivity until you've installed the network driver. In the BIOS, change OS Installation from "finished" to "start". This is the same for the smaller Eee PC as well. I had a trial edition of XP on the 8G which expired, and it was a major pain to get XP installed. But with a working OS, it should be much easier. But, you might like the Linux version too. It's pretty slick.
