Upgrading your Eee PC 1000H to Windows 7? Read this
If you still have your old Eee PC 1000H and you wish to upgrade from XP to Microsoft’s latest and greatest operating system, Windows 7, then you must read Asus’s upgrade path first.
Basically, it involves a BIOS upgrade first, then installation of Windows 7, and then the drivers. Afterwards you get information on the Super Hybrid Engine and the Asus Update software.

I did the upgrade last week, before they added the tutorial and more drivers. It mostly worked. Yesterday I re-installed the drivers as per the tutorial and now everything works on my 1000HA. Mine dual boots to Linux so I had to re-install my grub loader to recover the mbr so I can still dual boot.

And how is battery performance affected? I heard win7 sucks battery power a lot more than xp (30-40% less – which really is a problem for me). Have you experienced anything like this?

I haven’t really used W7 enough to say one way or the other. I mostly use Ubuntu. I would think a lot has to do with your power management settings, whether you use Aero, etc.

Simply true! I study it two times. While I am not as versatile on this issue, I match together with determinations simply they add. Provides Thank you and goodluck for you.

All said above it’s true but one thing I suspect few people know concerns to a bug in Asus Eee PC 1000H – It will never upgrade the bios version 2204 (wich is the one to upgrade to Windows 7). So, Asus Eee PC 1000H owners forget about upgrading to Windows 7.

I have a 1000HA and installed Win 7 Ultimate like a dream without a tutorial. Working just fine for a year now.

Hi guys, I have found the way to enable AHCI mode in BIOS to increase perfomance. There’s this modding community and they rock:

The mod I’m using is based on the latest released from ASUS: ver 2209
Good luck!
