    Hello :)

    I am just wondering if anyone know where I could find a download link for a PortableOne OS Image for TZ91. I know they used to have it on their website and its no longer offered there and, all the searches on NBR returns a link to their website '.'

    PS: Referring to the "Bloatware Removal" version.

    Thanks ahead of time.

    Do you guys know if this disc from P1 will work for a japanese TZ? Is the TZ90 with 32 GB SSD and is running around 75 processes...kinda of slowing down the machine. Btw it came with Vista Home Premium.

    OMG the link :O *presses the order button* thanks.

    Does it check if I use a TZ91 or anything? Just wanted to make sure it works for my TZ91 (48SSD) without any drivers or slipstream drivers xD!

    Armadilo, did you also buy yours from Conics? My TZ doesn't seem like its got a lot of bloatware, but its pretty unstable after SP1... did a clean install and still crashes now and then :x

    Yes also me from Conics. :)

    The issue is that I find it more slow than the beggining...I don't even think going on power saver mode anymore because is not usable. Do you think is the SP1?
    Do you know if this disc will work in our TZ's?

    You are right about slow.. the Conics so call "non-bloatware" isn't really that clean, IMO it was just clicking "uninstalling" for those bloatware, wasn't really a "Clean Install" + Drivers.

    I do think its somewhat related to SP1. After that patch, files copy faster but my "Windows Explorer" would also crash from time to time. Now its blue screen on occasional USB unplug.

    Yea I posted on the Portable One forum hoping Ivan or somebody will reply. It says its for TZ100-TZ200 (our's kinda 91 lol) so I just wanted to make sure, although every component inside is pretty much the same except maybe an upgraded CPU and drive capacity.

    I also tried a Clean Install + Drivers but... it still isn't working as good :x Conics' OS installation isn't as good as I thought.

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=190303

    I never did a clean install, I just used it how Conics delivered it. I was happy with it untill SP1 came along and I downloaded it. About beign slow...Now it shows that it runs 82 processes...aren't they too many?

    Can't agree more... SP1 is the evil, but there's really no way around it, sooner or later they will push it to your machine and also, you'd kinda want it due to the speed upgrade from extraction/file copy speed.

    I look into your link, even found the XP version, so I'm thinking of getting both :3 and try it out.
