HD replacement

corpo3030 · 2012-10-03 20:13:53

I would like to change out the hard drive in my Asus 1225B with an SSD. Anyone here have a step by step on doing this? I've changed out HDs before, but not on a netbook like this. Any advice would be welcome.

Is the HDD easily accessible, i.e. is there a service hatch? Some ASUS netbooks are somewhat of a nightmare if you have to replace the HDD.

Apparently, there is no service hatch...

Here's a video tutorial

Thanks for your help. I don't really need to replace the hard drive, it's working fine. I wouldn't mind the speed boost from a solid state drive though I don't know if its worth the heartache judging from the video.
