Hey where’s the best place to find all these drivers? Asus seems to direct you to only the newest ones….

And an addendum to my post -

I didn’t realize that globalfilesearch would be hot linked. Had I known that, I would have provided the full url, which now follows:

http://globalfilesearch.net/browser/213.61.92.194/pub/ASUS/EeePC/EeePC1000H/

If this hotlinks, great. If not, then copy and paste should do just fine.

(And yes, the file is the one shown in part at the top of this page.)
Hope this helps.

I ran into the same problem you did – I couldn’t seem to find the file.

However, one should always remember that Google is our friend.

Doing a search for “windows7_self_upgradeguide_1000h.zip” (as usual, hold the quotes) yielded a site called globalfilesearch.net (in the first of only three (!) results), and that link had the desired file near the bottom of the page. Clicking the page symbol on the left side of the entry for the file does lead to being able to download the file.

Hope this helps.

Help.
I can not find the “Windows 7 Self Upgrade Guide for the Eee PC 1000H/XP” using the provided link and the Asus site’s instructions and links they provide for upgrading the Bios are very opaque Links loop back on themselves, using jargon and logic leaps that I can not follow, with several apparent dead ends….

I finally decided to upgrade my xp-driven 1000H, and followed the Asus path. It turns out that win7 does an unexpectedly good job! I now use Home Premium, and it gives a user experience uncomparable to xp, and on the top of all, battery performance is not reduced a bit. I expected some relapse, but none happened – probably thanks to the drivers from Asus. So, if you're hesitant, go and grab a copy of Win7, and try it for yourself.

I have found that the Windows 7 performance on the 1000HE is very close to the XP. Battery life is down some but not enough to keep me from using it. In the end I still find XP gets the job done well and there is no reason to change except for the education and entertainment factors.

Now on a desktop with better hardware and a wide screen Windows 7 is a very nice experience!

Thanks, I finally got around to finding the win 7 upgrade guide for the 1000HE under the Manuals category. But it looks pretty involved. I think I'll stick with the XP on my HE until I've got a few other projects out of the way. I'll try win 7 on a Vista machine first and see how I like it.

Win7 on netbooks has been reported to give much shorter battery life. I experienced 20-30% less battery life with Win7 Ultimate than with WinXP. I'll try again with these new drivers in case there's an improvement. My netbook is an Asus 1000HA.

Windows XP makes `telnet' available, via Start > Run > telnet … . As far as I know, Vista does not. Does anyone know if Windows 7 does?

I wonder when/if they'll provide this info for the 1000HE, assuming there must be a glitch or two with the HE or they would have included it as well.

I bought the three computer family pack upgrade last week saw the fine print about not being able to upgrade directly from win XP. I'm assuming I'll have to buy the complete package ($167-200 for home premium) if I want to do a dual boot–is that not right? (This is the first time I've been glad that two of my machines have Vista
