Unfortunately it does not recognise the inbuilt SD Card reader. Has anyone else had a problem with it or what drivers have you used? Thanx in advance... I’ve installed Win7 on my 2133 – both the RC and now the RTM.

Unfortunately it does not recognise the inbuilt SD Card reader.

Has anyone else had a problem with it or what drivers have you used?

Thanx in advance…

I used the Virtual CD to mount the drive, but then what? If I just run setup from the mounted drive, it does an update rather than fresh install. If I reboot, it doesn't allow me to boot from the mounted drive and hence do a fresh install. Are you running the virtual CD software from the SD/USB? Apologies for the questions, but am trying to get this sorted. Many thanks. James, can you please explain how you went from mounting the drive as persistent and getting a fresh install?

I just loaded windows 7 onto my old laptop with only 512 mb of ram. I am amazed how fast it runs. Have you tried running mac os x on this awsome device. If not, please do. Awsome review.

In fact, your reviews tipped me over the edge to get one. I get it in a couple of weeks. I found out from HP that custom configs come from China, and they are currently closed for a week due to Chinese New Year. I should get it on 2/13/2009. Can't wait.

I'm hoping it will be arriving next Tuesday. Since I have not seen this unit in person I hope I'm going to like the size. After using a MacBook Pro 15" the size might be an issue for me. Thanks for this post as I was trying to find a solution to installing Windows 7 via USB or SD. I’ve ordered the 2140 with Vista Home installed and plan on blowing it away and install Windows 7.

I look forward to your thoughts on that if you load it.

I've been using W7 full-time on my desktop since it came out a few weeks ago and I've encountered many bugs and some big show stopping ones. (I linked to my article) W7 is fine on my S101 just because I only do a few things on it. James, have you encountered any bugs yet?

Presto, its done, and no messing with USB drives or SD cards.
