Hi All I'm new here..
I have a question, I have an Acer Aspire One D255 and the hard drive has stopped working and is not repairable so I am now looking to replace the hard drive, my question is can I put any 2.5 SATA hard drive in this even if it has come out of a laptop not a netbook... Or do I have to buy a special type of hard drive for the netbook??
Many Thanks..
Kind Regards..
Corrinne.
