Hi,
I have an ASUS 1001P with Rev 1202 BIOS. It does not recognize the hard drives boot sector. Apparently ASUS was aware of this and created a Boot-Tool for Linux that runs on Windows. I can't get that thing to work on XP or Windows 7. It asks for a bootable CD ROM, but when I provide one, nothing happens. It just doesn't work. I downloaded a newer version of the BIOS, but the only way to install the upgraded BIOS is from a fully working Windows 7 on the EeePC. That can't happen, because I've already installed Debian 12 on the hard drive.

Any help I can get with this would be highly appreciated.

I used to use ASUS a lot primarily because it ships with Easy Flash. With Easy Flash you can write the BIOS image to a CD or USB Drive and install it directly from within the BIOS.
