    Only thing I can think of is Ultimate Boot CD: Ultimate Boot CD - Overview

    You can also put this on a USB drive and boot from it. You can test the Hard drive with one of the programs on the CD.

    I dont know as much about this, there are a lot of programs for troubleshooting in that program

    Edit(just saw your post): Ok thanks Theog, I was wondering about that.


    Must I download Ultimate Boot CD?

    NO, but you do need a Windows installer on a USB stick. Take a look at Post 8.
    NO.
    Once you have reseated the HD, PC may boot in to windows first time.

    If the HD is not being seen , it often happens with lappies, nappies etc.

    They are very sensitive to being dropped. If that is the case - take it to the repair shop/use the warranty - unless you are handy with fixing things yourself.

    As a side note:

    I'd like to get my hands on one those Acers, shouldn't be too hard to figure out how to make proper bootable reinstall media from the recovery partition.

    I believe Acer ( at least with some models ) expect you to rely entirely on the recov partition - there is no facility to run off discs.

    Hello,

    I didn't drop it or had other accidents with it.

    I'ts a fine netbook but I find it very slow with VBA for instance it's too slow.

    Upgrading to Windows 7 Pro will not make netbook faster.

    Update: The Asus 1201HA specifications have been confirmed as. A 12.1-inch LCD (1366 x 768), Intel Z520 1.33GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, 250GB hard drive, 802.11n WiFi, GMA 500 graphics, 3x USB 2.0, VGA, and a multi-card reader.
    It will come with Windows 7 Home Premium, and the 6-cell battery should last for 8 hours.




    CPU speed 1.33, 2gb ram is why it's slow
