Well guys, my Acer netbook crunched its SSD recently and dunno what to do.
1) strip down and replace the SSD, (as if I don't have enough of stripping)... ;o)
2) Not bother about it and boot from say a USB stick.
3) Abandon the netbook completely as it is so far out of date now as to bother with it.
I'll throw it open to you lot to see what you would do...
BTW, I didn't back it up either, but before you all go into a lather I only used it as a test bed... ;o)
TIA...
