@@KimmsitoDo it ASAP. I had a generic XP IDE Drive with faulty sectors die on me during the process of making a Full Disk Image. It wasn't mine and the owner had no important data on it, but you should never delay backups of failing storage media. Do a quick dd as soon as you can do it. This one's more important as well.
Finished full image copy with Clonezilla! I'll be restoring the image to the SD card using IDE to SD adapter, and will continue to archive the IBM factory state drive.
@@gluttonousmaximus9048 Nope, Korean shamanistic acts ("Gut") in real life mostly consist of shouting and dancing in traditional dress. Getting physically harmed as depicted in many Korean movies like The Wailing and Exhuma are obviously exaggerated for dramatic effects, still I highly recommend watching them if you are interested haha.
Because if you think business laptops in the 2010s and beyond, you WILL be looking at Macs. Not to say you will be buying them but a business laptop of today has extremely different connotations compared to a business laptop of the 2000s
I have been curious about this whole thing for ages, I've been after some foreign exclusive stuff for ages Definitely gonna look into some LG IBM stuff
the Korean pastor whom i met around 2005/2006 had this laptop. i was a kid but i clearly remember those LG IBM logo on his laptop and bulky body like old Thinkpad
Aside from the high price range it had, it was a perfect laptop for anyone who needed a decent laptop. Super sturdy, well built, nifty little features and incredibly repair friendly. Glad to hear that you have an experience of seeing one of LG IBM laptops!
It's always fun to explore the East Asian computer markets. They are always full of oddities that make us Westerners scratch our heads. The era that I find the most fascinating is the 80s, when the standard Western IBM PC compatibles (back when this term actually meant something) were no good for displaying East Asian scripts, so the market was dominated by various custom solutions - usually developed locally, although there were some attempts from Western companies, like various IBM standards for the Japanese market (AX/JEGA, 5550, PS/55 etc.). I'm mostly familiar with the Japanese part of the story, with its initial NEC PC-98 dominance and later takeover by standard Western-compatible machines once handling CJK characters in software became possible, initially via DOS/V and later Windows. But I'd be very much interested in learning about how it was in Korea too. I heard that NEC tried to export the PC-98 to neighboring countries but that apparently didn't really work out? Was DOS/V a thing in Korea? What came before it?
Happy to hear that you liked the video. Yes, DOS/V was a thing in Korea back then, mostly to run various games from Japan as far as I can see. There were also Korean-developed DOS-era operating systems like K-DOS, but I will have to look into that more once I get a proper computer to run it haha. Thanks for the suggestion!
The hard drive probably had a dried up spindle bearing so the platters were stuck and didn't spin up initially. I have heard you can get them to move by tapping gently on the case. But still, even if the drive starts up, it's peobably on its death bed and ahould be backed up if necessary
The drive was in such a weird state. Whenever I power on the drive after a long period of off state, it will be recognized, but the drive won't spin at all until I power cycle it a few times and leave it on for a few minutes. I've finished cloning the entire drive using Clonezilla, so hopefully the restore process using the SD card with IDE adapter would go well.
It was a time when many big tech companies tried to cut some budgets by outsourcing production in order to meet the trends of computer markets where prices are getting cheaper every day.

Thank you for the two videos! Hello from San Diego
Hope you enjoy today's videos and have a wonderful evening!
Excellent work on this video, I learned a few things about the LG-IBM early days. Thanks so much for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it. Your article on your website is where all the research for this video started, so thanks for that as well!
You should take a back up of the hard drive immediately. Probably very close to failing for good...
Yup, I will make a full backup of this drive soon. I'll also upload the factory state drive image or recovery image to the Internet Archive!

@@Kimmsito Nice! Thank you for uploading it! Doing wonders for computer preservation.
I saw this on my notifications thinking it was LGR. Great video as always.
LGR is one of my most influential channels haha. Thanks for your kind words!
thanks for the windows key
Good luck with keys from outdated products
i rarely see content covering obscure tech from Korea, so please keep up the good work!
Amazing review of a classic Thinkpad! Thank you for the awesome content
My pleasure, thank you!
Absolutely amazing video, keep it up!
“…and this gorgeous Red Trackpoint, also known as *** mouse”
Thank you, glad you liked watching it!
opening it up and seeing exorcism pictures is straight out of k horror
Indeed, it was very unsettling.
@@Kimmsito I'm not familiar with this scene but does it involve, umm... Bodily harm?

What was the windows tablet you used for the manuals ?
Never seen anything like this before
It's a Lenovo Legion Go with the controllers detached. It turns out to be a great modern Windows UMPC!
@@Kimmsito Lol at first I thought you used a hacked Nintendo Switch as a tablet..
Still thinking how lenovo completely euthanized the thinkpad at ces 25😔😔

Had no idea Macaulay Culkin made computer ads
I also had no idea until I made this video. A great treat to watch along with the Google Asisstant ad from 2018 haha
Finally, about time ty!
Glad to have you here. Hope you enjoyed the video!
I Think, therefore iPad.
Keep up the videos bro!
Thinkpads are some of my favorite Laptop PCs of all time. Thanks for sharing this awesome little machine 👍
1:08 An LG IBM laptop made with pinoy love. LG really knew we be loving K-Dramas years later.
I have been curious about this whole thing for ages, I've been after some foreign exclusive stuff for ages
Definitely gonna look into some LG IBM stuff

I have seen this LG ibm Thinkpad, and LG IBM Multinet in Indonesia. Second hand Korean PC import, imported early 2000s
Linux recommended requirements:
Those LG/IBM ThinkPad are very interesting and weird. And yes, I've seen those pictures of whatever Korean exertion was
It is definitely one of the most important pieces of Korean technology. And I'm glad I finally made a video about it!
What Windows 11 tablet you have been using throughout this video?
It looks as cool as the ThinkPads in this video. 😊
It's the Lenovo Legion Go with the gamepad removed. I'm looking forward to their second generation, which will be released this year!
Fascinating story. I had no idea that LG had any laptop history prior to releasing the Gram - mainly because i usually only follow the US tech market.
It is true that laptops from LG were mostly boring with no interesting features until they made the Gram series haha
Thanks for the free windows product key😁😁
16:18 Great Laptop's But Insane Price

@7:27 what's computer? display or what device?
It's a Lenovo Legion Go with its gamepads detached.
Crazy that this cooperation ended because of bribery scandal
It was a real shame that the bribery scandal ultimately ruined the joint venture.
Babe, wake up. Korean Dank just uploaded
So happy to have you here. Hope you enjoyed the video!
why the heck that thinkpad made by frickin *ACER?*

What was that tablet you used in the video?
It's Lenovo Legion Go with its gamepad detached.
Are you using Lenobo Legion Go or some other handheld as tablet?
It's Lenovo Legion Go.
What is that Windows tablet?
It's a Legion Go with its gamepad detached.
@Kimmsito thanks!
