Replacment on Amazon - 2.5" SATA HDD. Measure and compare dimensions if unsure. If you mean where to find HDD on your netbook, the models manufactured in the past couple of years provide easy access by removing the largest of the multiple access plates on the bottom of the netbook. If older, it is possible you may have to remove the keyboard to access. If this doesn't address your question, please reply with more details. Best of luck!

I think this was the same error I had when my hard drive originally crashed. Likely means your computer is not recognizing your hard drive. If rebooting isn't working, then you will likely need a hard drive replacement. If it is getting old, consider buying a new one if finances allow. Good luck!

If there is no specific diagnosis (i.e., unsure what broke when dropped), I would just look at replacing. If you live near a huge wholesale club (e.g., Costco, Sam's Club, BJ's, etc.), you should find one there at the best price. If not, then Amazon is the way to go. Either way, shop Amazon first to make sure you are getting the best deal. Best of luck!

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with this error. You may try reinstalling with the recovery discs to see if this helps. If not, and if easy enough to do, exchange the new hard drive to be certain it was not damaged during transit. You may also google your error message to see if you can pick up a useful thread. Good luck, and please post your solution if you fix this error to help others who may encounter the same problem in the future.

One important info missed out is the interface. This is a SATA drive instead of PTA

( IDE )

@TheMrHoj Yes it is. Thanks for clarification.

@umraugh I don't know if you still need help, but someone online said to hit the back of the computer against a wall really hard...amazingly that seems to have worked (i'm typing on it now)
