I have the Acer Aspire One A150. Last time I used it, I just installed the Windows 7 Release Candidate. The next time I tried to run it, it won’t boot at all. All I get is a black screen. Even attaching an external monitor and pressing the Fn+F5 key to switch the screen output was not making a difference. So Google comes to the rescue and I found these two pages that pretty much say the same thing on how to fix this issue: Link1, Link2. Thankfully, I won’t have to worry about sending it back to Acer.
As the solution requires a bootable USB flash drive, I believe the following is a way that will let you convert any ordinary USB flash drive to a bootable one. This technique works with Windows 7 Beta and RC. I’m not sure about XP or Vista, though. I got it from a blog that shows how to put Windows 7 on a netbook. You can find it here.
