My kid has a small laptop an HP Mini 1000. He came to me and said something is wrong with it. It has a 1.8, 80GB HDD with a ZIF conn and a small short cable that plugs into another ZIF conn on the motherboard. I bought a mini Msata pci-e adapter board and a 128gb mSata m3 SSD that plugs into the adapter. Put it all together and everything was working ok. We loaded Win 10 on it and half way through it said can't find the boot file. We tried loading Win 7 on it and it did the same thing. One of his buddies has a similar laptop with the same setup and it works fine. Could it be the SSD board is bad? I have another one that is only 32Gb but the ZIF conn and cable comes out the side and it doesn't need an adapter, but there isn't enough room in the laptop for a correct fit.
