I made a full Windows Upgrade yesterday on my 311, no problem, YMMV...
HP Mini 311-1000CA - N270@2.2GHz linked 3:2 - 2GB RAM (OCZ3M10661G) - a/b/g/n wifi card (HP #518434-001) - HP Wireless Eco-comfort Mobile Mouse (FX287AA) with internal nano dongle - HP Notebook Speakers (NN109AA) - Targus Top Loading City Gear Case (TST034CA)
Download the latest version of your bios/driver/application for your HP Mini 311
I believe this was traced to the MS10-15 update, and the problem turned out to be the system file atapi.sys getting infected with a rootkit. If the machine has a clean atapi.sys, there's no risk with the update.
There's lots of good information here. http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=8209
The recovery method is a little bit clunky, but well documented now.
