    Hi Guys,
    My Asus has died, it is not seeing the boot drive to start up xp. So i am figuring the SSD is fecked.

    I am looking for a replacement at http://www.crucial.com/eu/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT64SSDN125P05 but i am not sure if its compatible. Any advice? Any other online sources that could deliver to Ireland?

    From wikipedia about my model
    8 GB model, the SSD is a card connected via the internal PCI Express Mini Card connector, leaving the original SSD area on the motherboard empty

    While i am at it i was going to upgrade the memory as well with this http://www.crucial.com/eu/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=6B44C5B8A5CA7304


    Any advice welcome.

    Unlikely that the SSD is at fault; now I know that they can fail, but compared to regular hard drives, they should be very robust.

    I'd guess it's more likely a software corruption. And I've read that XP isn't ideal with SSDs, something to do with page-file swapping IIRC (or maybe it's the excessive swap/writing thats mucked the SSD up).

    I had XP running great on it for a long while.
    The issue is hardware for sure, not software. The drive wont even show up in the boot settings.

    The only way to be sure is to buy a replacement drive and see. Will that drive fit the connections in the asus?
