So I downloaded Ubuntu a while back and installed it. Later I discover that Ubuntu has become too much of a hassle for me, and I need my Windows XP Home Edition back. Mind you, I'm using an Acer Aspire One so I have no optical drive. What's the easiest way to get Windows back onto my netbook? Any suggestions? (A step-by-step guide would be greatly appreciated.)

Yeah, I figured as much. That means I'd have to download the ISO for XP, right? Know any good sites (that doesn't involve torrents--I can't install Azureus.)

What do you mean?
That's a perfectly valid method.
USB CD drives are available and a usual choice when you need to us a disc on a netbook.
