    I tried to DISABLE the Windows Hybrid Hard Disk Power Saving option by going to [Control Panel]-[Power Options]-[Change plan settings]-[Change advanced power settings]-[Hard disk]-[Windows Hybrid Hard Disk Power Savings Mode].

    however, the option is not available! Other uses who have the same specs show that is is there. I think I may have not installed the proper driver or program for it to show up. Does anyone know what I may be missing?

    So far I have the following thinkvantage stuff installed:
    BT driver and software
    Hotkey driver
    System interface driver
    Productivity center
    Power managment driver
    Client Security Solution (CSS)
    Fingerprint software

    What am I missing to have the hybrid hard disk option show up in my power management?

    Thank you

    Have you disabled any service? anything related to readydrive?
    do you have multiple partitions on your disk?

    I think it could depend on the Intel turbo memory driver

    Honestly I'm confused about all those technologies....readydrive, readyboost, turbo memory, hybrid disk,etc. and haven't read a lot about them but I would give it a try....
    (I know that there's a place in the turbo memory console for example that lets you enable/disable readydrive,etc. but not sure if it's only related to the turbo memory or the entire os...)

    Thanks for your help!
