I've bought the Acer aspire One AO522-C6Dkk.
When opening for the first time, the screen is reading:
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 083)
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.0.2.6 (09/28/10)
Check cable connection!
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel PXE ROM
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
What shall I do? I think there's something wrong
PLEASE HELP !

Check the boot order in BIOS.
What you're seeing is your netbook trying to boot from LAN.
If your boot order in BIOS is correct meaning HDD is first that means your HDD has died and is not recognized so netbook tries to use following boot devices.
Another possibility is that for whatever reason boot order is wrong and all you need to do is to set HDD to primary boot device. -
@ Downloads - please see the attached snapshot. Even after resetting the BIOS settings to boot from HDD, It is still not able to load the OS. Under BIOS it cannot even recognise the HDD as seen from the attachment.

That means the HDD is dead. You need to buy a new one.
If you have another notebook you may use a HDD from that notebook in your Aspire One just to see if it's detected by BIOS.
There's always a small chance that the connector failed- not the HDD. If that's the case if won't detect the other HDD either.
I'm assuming your not covered by warranty anymore. If you are just RMA it.
I hope you've had all the important data backed up.
BTW. You can have only one account here so I banned your old one -
Actually it is a new computer. So there is no data on it. Just bought it and expected to see the final registration screen for Windows 7 but did not see anything. Am afraid tyo open it because i will have violated the warranty.

just call the seller where you bought the netbook to send it to acer service on warranty (RMA)

ut0ugh1 is right- you should contact the seller.
The netbook is either missing a HDD completely or the drive is dead.
