Hi Mark,

Is this available now? I called Support and they couldn't help me as I'm no longer under warranty (most companies would not consider this a warranty issue, but rather a customer satisfaction issue).

Regards,

No.  Not that I know of.  "Later this week" is now 3 and a half months.

Will. Never. Buy. Lenovo. Again.

I have been dealing with the Repartioning problem for over a year, with no easy resolution in sight...sigh! The Power Supply I had to replace for it was woefully inadequate to run a seperate video card. 

I just want to increase the C Partition to about 200 Gigs. How do I do this easily. I have tried a few partitioning programs, and they weren't compatible with Vista. I didn't pay all this money to be Tech Support. 

Lenovo Core 2 - 3000 K100

I upgraded the RAM, and Video card.

Could somebody from Lenovo please update us on this? Has customer service totally gone to h&^l?

Last week I called the 3rd time in the last 3 months for the disks to do away with the D drive . Hope this last call will do it .

Two weeks ago I officially gave up and reformatted my HD.

I gave up on Lenovo support ding anything to fix the problem they created.

Now I just have a C: Drive and will back up my system regularly.

And I stand by never buying Lenovo again.  It's unfortuate that the only people who read these forums have already bought one.

Oh well, it's a one-time mistake for me.  But for what it's worth, the system runs great now.

I also went on Bittorrent with no success for a reformatting software, so just bought some on eBay for about 18 bucks with shipping and about to do the reformat myself.

I agree with the forum, that this was a ton of headache that Lenovo pretty much just handed over to us. Though I have had similar issues with HP. The funny thing is that the cheapest computer in my household, the eMachine from years ago actually had the best tech support out there, very odd?

Thanks guys, I will send a formal letter at this point to IBM and Lenovo. Also since I do Internet Marketing, I can post the results of this poor service EVERYWHERE! It is really hard to build a reputation, and very easy to destroy it.

Good Luck :-)
