    Hi guys,
    I have a friend that ask me to install XP on his Dell Mini 910.
    I have a USB stick and follow the guide of this Youtube video.
    However, when the usb finished loading files to the hard drives (the blue screen, you know), i booted with the USB again and choose the 2nd mode, the screen shown up there is a missing dll files and recommend me to reinstall the window. I start it over and over, 5 times totally but samething happen.
    Can someone please tell me the solution or have a better guide for me please?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you.
