    Installing Media Center on a "Netbook"

    I just got the Acer Aspire One "netbook" and I was wanting to install MCE 2005 (have an install disk laying around collecting dust after upgrading everything to Vista). Does anyone know of a process to do this? I'm guessing I would have to put MCE 2005 on a flash drive and somehow try to install it from that. Any ideas?

    Pretty sure it can but I don't have one. Maybe I can find one for cheap. Might be handy to have a dvd drive for it.

    After I posted this I did remember that MCE 2005 requires you to swap the two discs a couple times so that might be kind of hard to do without a CD rom drive.

    Actually, now that I think of it I do have an Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive. Wonder if that would work...
