Please Help!!! Acer Aspire One netbook will not boot .

[Goober]

This is DS1s netbook.
On turning the system on it goes to loading page (black and white text) which says OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND.
Heeeyyyyeelp!!!

This happened to mine and had to go in for repair. Hard drive malfunction or something. We never backed up

Was the repair as expensive as a new replacement??

We didn't pay as it was still under warranty luckily. Best thing you can do is call Acer and ask. They will not do the repair without telling you the cost beforehand so you wont have to pay if you don't want to.

Thanks. Will try that.

Do you have the number? I can try and dig it out for you if not?

Thankyou, just found it on their site.

If there is anything worth saving on there (eg. photos) then you may want to take it into an independent computer specialist first. They can probably quite easily diagnose and take off the files for you.
