Problems
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2009 3:03 pm
I talked a friend into buying an Ideapad S10-2, with Win XP. Now I have had it for almost a week to test.
I have tried to make an image with the One Key Recovery -thing (OKR). The first several attempts
resulted in a frozen Ideapad. The Ideapad comes with a Lenovo Energy Management that
supersedes Windows power manager. This thing has only a few fixed energy levels, and does
not offer the detailed settings for when to stand-by etc that we are used to.
The OKR starts out fine and tells me that it should take abt 25 minutes to complete
a full backup. After some 10 - 15 minutes it hangs with only the desktop background
visible. I can move around the mouse but there are no icons, no response a three point
landing and there is now alternative to powering off.
So I uninstalled the crap Energy Management and tried OKR again. At least now I can see
that it is the OKR that never goes beyond 4% of doing its thing. It seems to choke on the
driver.cab in the i386 catalog.
I have not messed with the partitions, and there is lots of space everywhere. Windows
is on C: and the OKR works on D:.
Well it is certainly not a Thinkpad!
