Are you sure the model is correct? I can't find any reference to an "Asus One". Did you mean an Acer Aspire One, perhaps, or an Asus EEE?
What trouble are you having exactly? We'll be glad to help, but you will need to be a bit more specific!

Does Windows reveal the Computer model and memory size?
Do you recall the Linux distribution previously loaded?
What colour was the sign-on screen "themed" as - these are all clues as to what custom version of Linux was loaded.

They usually came with Linpus. I got one a while ago but quickly removed Linpus and installed Ubuntu Netbook Edition, much better!!.

You will need:
- An Installation CD for Windows XP.
- The Windows product key your wife's cousin used - you must know this before you start.
- A USB CD drive (assuming your Netbook does not have a built-in drive).
You would probably be best to ask your wife's cousin to do the re-install, given that he/she managed to install Windows in the first place.
