    Hi Forumers,

    Good Day :)
    I have a Acer Aspire One which is using 8GB Solid State Driver (SSD) and originally installed with Windows XP Home Edition SP3 but i decided to format this netbook since it is running very slow and has lots of viruses.
    I used external CD Drive to run the bootable CD and the process went fine until the part where it says:
    "Examining 7696MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi"
    It just stuck there and i ever leave it for few hours it is still in the same situation.
    Uploaded the Picture for better understanding.

    I searched on google for few hours and still don't get the exact answer.
    I have changed different kind of Windows CD but still no luck :(

    Do any expert here know the idea of getting this work? :help:
    Really appreciate and welcome any helps and comments.

    Thanks for your time :respect:

    Regards,
    Nelson

    Is there any way the SSD could be damaged?

    I left the netbook running for 48 hours as i suspected there's something to do with the SSD but the netbook still running well after that long hours.
    At first i suspected about the SATA driver thinggy but I found out that this SSD is Samsung 8GB P-SSD1800 running on PATA.Any idea bro?
    Anyway,Thanks for your attention :)

    The SSD probably has some corrupted flash, which is most likely the cause for the hang. You'll want to replace it as mentioned.
