+1 on high mileage hondas.
My 94 integra had 180k on the clock when i bought it. i turbod it at 10 PSI and beat the fuck out of it for 10k miles and it maintained the same cylinder compression when i sold it. those motors are magic. only thing i had to replace was the dizzy cap because i left it outside with the hood open during a rain storm.
Your netbook should have a sticker with a Windows 7 key on the bottom. DL yourself a copy of windows 7, and use that key to legitly install it.
also, are you using a usb cd drive to install windows?
