Uistite sa, že pin 1 vyplýva nadol okraji pásky od matky pinový konektor na desce 1 z SanDisk. V SanDisk je zvrátit z pôvodného SSD takže budete musiet obrátit na SanDisk hore nohami. Tu je manuál pre SanDisk. http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/pdf/ ... Rev0.4.pdf

Make sure pin 1 follows down the edge of the ribbon from the mother board connector to pin 1 of the SanDisk. The SanDisk is reversed from the original SSD so you may have to turn the SanDisk upside down. Here is the manual for the SanDisk. http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/pdf/ ... Rev0.4.pdf

I was check this pin, still the same problem. I was try with serial ATA adapter 2,5" install Windows in my Sony laptop. In the bios I can see SSD Exactly show size 31GB, but Windows didnt find this ssd and canel installation. I was buy this ssd new one on the ebay. I dont understand what happend. Can I do format in DOS or something like that?????

Yes, try formating using win 98 fat 32. Then run win xp install.

I think you need XP Service Pack 2 or later?

Try this instead.
1) Copy entire original 8gb SSD to a temporary drive on a large computer using Easeus Drive Copy. http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Disk-Co ... 67157.html

2) Copy back to new 32gb SSD using Drive Copy. Will still be 8gb.

3) Test in Acer Aspire One.

4) Expand 8gb to 32gb using Eastus Partition Manager. http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partiti ... 63346.html

vela štastia!

Cau.

Mne sa podarilo na SSD nainstalovat Windows Vista Home Premium z Recovery Diskov co som mal k Sony Vaio. Na Sony s 2,5" SATA adapterom ide Windows bez problemov avsak ak vlozim do Acer One tak my Dos vyhodi to iste PXE E61: Media test failure...check cable. Pouzivam kabel, ktory je v tom adaptere. Bohuzial tu moznost s copy hdd nemozem vyskusat, lebo nemam desktop.

Cau.

Please ask others for help and be persistant at it. I know it can be done. Don't give up , keep trying.

Boh s vami.

The whole topic is wrong. It does not have to do anything with formatting because process that is halting is way before file system - in BIOS recognition of hardware. If yours BIOS is latest than yours SSD is still incompatible with yours machine. You can contact Acer crappy support and ask them for a list of actual supported SSD models for yours computer and pray that they will include support for yours SSD in near future which is very doubtful.
