ZIF SSD upgrade

[Whitie III]

need a recommendation on a ZIF SSD for the HP mini 1000

what can you think is the best option? Would like to get one at least 80GB or grater

You may struggle with this as from a bit of reading, there are several problems reported where drives just aren't compatible.  Does it currently have an SSD or HDD in it?  It looks as though the HDDs offered were 1.8" 40-pin IDE drives, not sure if the SSDs were also IDE but if so, an upgrade will be hard to find and not cost-effective as that's a very uncommon interface.

well right now it has an HDD and it is connected via ribbon cable like the keyboard.... it is a 1.8" HDD

I mean even another HDD would be fine... I just wanna install windows 7 without wiping the factory Windows XP off

Why not just image the disk you have to an external device and then image it back if you want to put XP back on?
