SSD corrupt- please help

Hi i have a a110 and now my xp has stopped working i think it is due to the netbook switching off without shutting down(battery died) When i restarted i i got a message saying that explorer.exe was corrupt as well as some other directories i cant remember. This is the 3rd time in the last 6 months that it has bombed out.

-If i format and re install how can i get rid of these corrupt sectors? when the OS still worked i ran chkdsk /f but would never fix the problem.

-Another is it possible for me to install xp on an SD card and run it from there as i am tired of having problems with the SSD drive.

-How easy is it to install a new SSD?

Specs:
XP pro with flashfire
1.5GB Ram
8GB SSD

apologies if this is in the wrong section. if you can direct me to a post that will also be welcome thanx

Regards Roger

 

Not sure about bypassing bad sectors, I recently sold an SSD to someone who had a corrupt SSD as he could not repair his.

As far as I am aware it is not possible to run XP from the either of the memory card slots. There is a way to run it from a USB stick but it seems a long setup process and as yet I have not tried it. If running Linux I think the extra memory can be integrated, but Linux is not my strong point.

Installing a new SSD is easy, I can open the Aspire in about 2m. There are lots of threads and videos on opening them up, just watch out for the odd screw that is very tight as stripping the head is easy.

If you feel up to it, and I have done this, change the SSD to a 1.8" ZIF hard drive instead. Much better performance and definately value for money, I paid £36 delivered for a new 60GB.

 

does this include the connector?

 

As stated by cyberboblouth replacing the SSD is quite easy. My original SSD died about 6 months ago and I was booting Linux off a USB stick until last night when I finally opened up the machine and installed a 16GB Super Talent SSD which is a direct replacement for the original unit - same connector, same screws. It took me about one hour to do; I took it nice and easy whilst consulting one of the many websites that has photos showing how to open the Aspire One. It wasn't even necessary to remove the main board to replace the SSD (as it is for the RAM), though the daughter board on the right needs to be unscrewed and displaced slightly to give access to one of the two SSD mounting screws.
