Devices Typical error: disk not found

Problem 1: After the usual configure and many days of downloading and installing the update - nix Windows 8.1 only minimal Windows 8 !!! - The appliance was stable and reliable. The 4 GB RAM were not optimal, but adequate for most applications.

Problem 2: After about 8 months a catastrophic failure: device does not boot - hard drive not recognized (EFI network 0 for IPv4 boot failed). I did some research and found that a number of buyers from around the world have reported exactly the same mistake in conjunction with Windows 8.1. Hello Lenovo, you go for? Since May 2013, are thousands of entries in forums for all sorts of Lenovo devices. And you get the not solved?

CONCLUSION: Remote diagnosis for my father not to repair. Sent to Amazon for repair - after days of configuring stuck in it, which is why money back and buy another device is only Option 2. And replacement by another Lenovo device is yes, if one follows the forums, no option.
