The cost did include postage , and i feel your right about the warranty as it would be hard to send it back to the UK.I'll keep searching online for some Australian deals on notebooks,Thankyou Mikinoz :)

"Firstly try using Win2Flash, if it doesnt work, try below "
basically all you need is 4gb usb, and a cd drive (on another comp/if u dont have an iso)
Pretty sure that notebook is 100 Pounds and not 100 dollars.
That would make it $171.
The notebook is an extremely limited basic one that would struggle to run on Xp neither mind Windows 7.
Angela you may find the netbook will not work well with windows 7 as the drivers may not work with it
True it is cheaper but you can generally buy a good new netbook for 200-300 now
Did you include postage etc with the price?
Why i would buy a new branded netbook from Australia is ,
1)Local warranty, you wont have to send it back overseas to get fixed / repaired
2)Windows is priced into the notebook no extra cost (sell your windows disc + license and put it into local netbook)
3)The warranty will be at least 1 year maybe more
4)You could buy a brand that was recognised and supported with drivers and already will work with win7
