    My Aspire One ZG5 A110AB Netbook running Linpus Linux has stopped booting into the OS on the 8 gig internal harddrive.

    I can boot using an external USB stick, and can see and access the files on the internal harddrive.

    I did not make any changes to the net book between the time it was working, and the time i turned it on when it failed.

    No idea why if I can see the files on the internal drive, it won't boot from it.

    Any suggestions for fixes would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Eric
