    Hey,
    I'm trying to install Win7 on an Aspire One D260-A netbook but it's just not letting me.
    Long story short, I had to replace the HDD and now, even though I've installed from a USB stick before now, it just won't boot up from the USB drive. I've changed the boot order so the USB drive is first, I've pressed F12 to select which device to boot from but no matter what I do it just says "no bootable device". The USB stick works perfectly, so that's not the problem.
    Anyone any ideas? I'd be happy to provide more specific information, if needed.
