    Does anyone know how to enable ACPI function in the T410? I look in the BIOS but couldn't find it. The reason I need to enable this because I can't seem to use daemon tool or alcohol 120% to mount a virtual drive if ACPI function is disable.

    Thanks!

    I had the exact same problem as you when trying to install daemon tools or Alcohol 120%. ACPI is always enabled in the bios, as previously mentioned, and there isn't an option for turning it on or off. My solution was to use Virtual CloneDrive instead. It doesn't rely on SPTD like deamon tools and Alcohol 120% and it's also freeware. I also posted this response in your thread over on the Lenovo forums.

    There's no reason why ACPI should EVER be disabled for your T410. Unless you like working on a single core of your two. Sounds like an incompatiblity with their driver.
    Virtual CloneDrive seems to work for me. They self sign their driver which is sorta cheapy (not like Microsoft would ever let them sign anyways considering the number of gray areas Slysoft is involved in), but at least it's better than no signing in x64...
