To make a long story short, i have an Aspire One ZG5 that someone ripped the SSD ribbon out of, along with the better part of the connectors. It cannot be fixed even with a hot air rework station as the connectors melt, they probably used infrared or wave soldering on it.
I also have a 16GB SDHC card which the BIOS isn't aware of. Neither of the internal card readers nor a USB card reader (which boots fine in another laptop) will work. It will boot off a USB thumbdrive though. The BIOS is this. I need a way to run Windows from the SDHC card. Either make it boot straight off the card or use a small thumbdrive to run a bootloader that will boot the card. If you need any other info i have Ubuntu Netbook Remix running off a USB drive, and can provide any output you ask for.
Thanks in advance.
Need to get Acer Aspire One to boot from SDHC

You can run Ubuntu from the card but you need to boot from the SSD or from a thumb-drive. More info here:

Somehow I think Windows is not as versatile where it comes to booting from exotic devices...
