    InstantOn (AVmode) not longer working after i defrag my hardisk (C :) using software perfect disk (maybe problem cause from that, it last aplication that i run)..... after i press AV mode button -> show bios-> show icon, but after about 4 sec, my notebook shutdown.

    before defrag my HD, i tried to partition my HD( C: and D :) using windows system management, and InstantOn still working perfectly.
    anyone know how to fix it? i dont want to recovery my vista to default factory again..
    :confused:
    i tried:
    - update InstanOn to v1.01 from vaio -- not working
    - uninstall InstantOn, delete folder C:\instantOn, kernel.pam, initrd.pam.
    and then install again.. -- not working
    - install instantOn from lenovo. -- not working (same problem, show icon and shutdown)
    - install instanOn from vaio TX -- not working ( show icon and then hang)

    I have no idea. You've gone through most traditional debugging steps. The only thing left is a restore to original factory settings.
