Having just spent the last hour restoring my computer, I have come to the conclusion that a Thinkpad T60 and magiciso are not a great combination . I wanted to use magiciso to create a virtual drive to load an iso I downloaded, without burning a disc. Once I installed it my laptop froze and when I rebooted it would freeze while the IBM software was “checking the status of the embedded security chip“.
After messing around with the ThinkVantage settings – I rebooted in safe mode and uninstalled the magiciso and it all worked ok. I checked the website and they have nothing about the conflict – so if you have a thinkpad I recommend staying away from magiciso until a fix is released!
