   When i unplugged my laptop from power, eboostr doest not automatically shift to "Power save mode".
   I read somewhere that it will automatically change to "Power save mode" whenever power is unplugged?

   OS: Vista Business

   Make sure Power Save Mode is indeed checked under the Options menu. Otherwise, check your ACPI drivers; they may not be accurately representing the state of the system.

   Oh, actually my Power Save Mode is unchecked at the moment.

   I thought the system will automatically check the "Power Save Mode" when our laptop is unplugged from power.
   No?

   If thats the case, I will just have to check the "Power Save Mode"
   But how do I make sure that it is working?

   if I turn off my hdd with the tool hdpram, Eboostr doesn´t seem to cache the regular reads on the hdd. for example I´m unable to switch to another application ( it freezes until the hdd starts again, because the system reads or writes onto the hdd; the write cache for the hdd in Vista is enabled) but isn´t this the function of the power saving mode: to redirect disk reads to the caches, like sd cards or the unused ram? it´s unnecessary to spin up an hdd only for a few bytes, that eboostr could easily cache. And I tested this of course when my laptop is on battery.

   I´m using a HP dv6810eg Notebook with 4GB Ram and Vista SP1 32-Bit, Eboostr uses 969MB of the Ram and 7671 MB on an SD card. that should be enough for the common stuff.

   Not sure whats up. It should automagicly go into powersave mod once your system is running off the bat. Not all of the file is saved, just its cache. If a program needs to write something (vista and windows 7 does a lot of small i/o file writes) or if eboostr doesn't have everything in cache for the said x program, then it would need to go to the HDD to get what its missing; if it cant, then it'll freez till it can.

   Like for example, a text doc needs file write, so it'll crash/freez the system most likly.
   (What I'm saying it, not everything can be cache onto the cache drives so you can turn off the hdd..)

   What it does is, instead of reading both the hdd and cache for dual reads or x2, it trys to only read the cache from the cache devices resulting in only a x1 read. (It's a nice feachture, but it still needs more thought into how it works if you ask me.)

   Other than that... idk. Do check your drivers to make sure they are most up todate.
