Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to repair Windows XP Professional on a Gateway Netbook. There is no place to load the installation CD.
Thanks

If your laptop does not have a CD drive, check the manual for it, there should be something in there about how to restore it. You can also get an external drive to boot from, they are not very expensive.

Are you trying to do a clean installation or repair an existing one? If just a repair then the restore is not a good idea. You need to get an external drive.
