• Thickness of Lenovo IdeaPad Z500 HDD; Replacement of SSD

  Hey guys,.

  I own a Z500 IdeaPad with a ST500LM012 HN-M500MBB 500 GB HDD by Samsung.

  I would like to do an upgrade with a 1 TB of HDD, I would put in the HARD Drive Caddy (replacement CD/DVD drive).

  And I also intend to get an EVO 840 Samsung SSD, I place in the main HARD disk location.

  BUT the HARD drive I have now is 9, 5mm thick. And the EVO 840 is 7 mm thick. I have problems in the main HARD disk location?

  And are there opportunities that I can fit a 12, 5mm disk in the location of main HARD drive or the HARD drive caddy?

  I'm terribly sorry for my English is not my mother tongue.

  Thanks in advance.

  Answer: Page 71 of the Hardware maintenance manual provides 9.5 mm hdd/sdd can be used. If you have the Player 7.0 mm it can also be accommodated.

  Answer: For the housing of the primary hard drive, the cage hdd/ssd mounting is designed to 9.5 mm, so a 7.0 mm or 9.5 mm hdd/ssd will fit. However, a 12.5 mm will not match. The caddy, you see the caddy if it can accommodate a hard drive of 12.5 mm. You may need to check the side of the caddy against the STRANGE to see if it will fit in the odd-NUMBERED slot.

  Hi all, about a week I have a new laptop Lenovo y500 with GeForce GT 650 SLI.
  I am satisfied with the performance of the laptop, and I think it's the best choice in this price range.
  Battlefield3 works perfectly in FULL HD resolution and SECONDARY settings.
  However, I have a small problem, I don't know if there is something wrong with the hardware or drivers.
  From time to time, for example, play League of Legends, browse Web sites or view switching to Battlefield3 for windows appears a mistake that the graphics driver has stopped working, but found its proper functioning.
  For a moment, the screen goes black and back to normal. I installed different drivers GeForce site as 310.90 WHQL Beta 313.96 or manufacturer dedicated Lenovo Nvidia Video Driver for Windows 7 (64 bit) - IdeaPad Y400, Y500 dated November 4, 2012, none of them help and the problem persists.
  What do you think? problem is the driver bcs or bcs material? Maybe something wrong with the motherboard or other drivers component? or maybe just a few parameters need to be addressed? I'll be very grateful for your help, what you sugest do?

  I bought new Y500 without any windows or the drivers included, installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 and all the site drivers lenovo driver.

  it becomes more annoying more I use the laptop

• Help with Windows XP problem (Lenovo Ideapad S12)

  Hello

  I bought a new S12 a bit backward, but recently, I had a problem with it. Earlier today, I was online and I must of clicked on a link that has started with Java for a reason any. Almost instantly my antivirus picked up a threat, she has actually won 51 threats, I did a scan and it found no aNY\ threat. I restarted the computer and that has been the problems began.

  Windows starts fine, but sometimes does not the taskbar. Startup applications but continue to operate. For example I start 'My Computer' but then I can't go to my "My Documents".  And after that it seems to freeze but the mouse cursor can move but nothing really works and I have to force the computer off. Also sometimes when I run Google Chrome a message appears.

  This is my first post something so if you could help me out... in other words im a beginner.

  -Thank you

  Hello and welcome...  ITF you are using a program of security as one of them...  Security for freedom and keep updating them... are you on the save side, but its good to save your work (data, music, photos...) at any time on an additional media as FlashThumbDrive USB or an opticaldrive...

  Do not trust a program of security... from time to time, use an external security program to search for viruses or so now...

  Keep your system clear, delete temporary data with a feather duster like cleanprog or ccleaner...

  Disable unnessessary progs ... could accelerate in some cases and prevents freeze/hang up/hick upward

  & If viruses or other malfunctions, its more comfortable to go to a zero & recover your system...

  and like many other programs google chrome is not bugs, what might happen...

  Since I installed windows 8.1 I've known issues so that the closing.

After a while the system reboots, even when I clicked on stop. This happens to stop, restart and when he falls asleep. The only way to stop the system right now is to hold the power button and kill the power. Windows doesn't give any errors in the logs.

  The main problem isn't so HARD drive?

  Is this a sign that the HARD drive will die? I plug just this laptop for 2 weeks

  This does not happen every time, it disappeared when I restart the laptop...

  But how can I solve this problem 100%? do not happen other times...

  It's a possibility that you have a problem starting. This does not mean that the hard drive is dying, but it's just the operating system could not be started.

• Expand the partition of drive C on the IdeaPad Z500

  Hi guys,.

  I have a laptop of series of Lenovo IdeaPad Z500, that came with a 60 GB drive C for storage/parition.

  I'm running out of space and was trying to extend the partition using the tools of Paritioning but I don't get the option to extend the C drive, after creating an unallocated partition (say 10-15 GB). I try so to make my partition of the drive C was around 70-75 GB after the extension of the C drive.

  One thing I noticed that I have a score of 300 MB (approx.) just after the C drive. It does not resemble an OKR partition but another thing that I already have a 25 GB of partition OKR.

  I'm suspecting that this 300 MB of partition is coming in my way to extend the partition on the C drive, but I'm just guessing. I could be wrong as well.

  So, I'm currently stuck here and can't seem to find a way to extend the drive C partition without messing up the configuration OKR.

  In addition, I'd appreciate really if someone could tell me how to do a factory default operating system image backup, so I can't run in case my system fails to start at somepoint in time.

  When I open the app OKR, it gives me two options: backup & restore system.

  I'm also confused here if the backup of the system would make the backup of the complete (with all applications at this stage) operating system? If this is the case, then how can we restore that image in the event of a boot failure?

  Overall, here are my questions:

  #How to extend the C drive without affecting the OKR/partition configuration?

  #How to restore the backup system image (saved using "Backup system" option OKR App) when the system does not boot? I have to write to a disc or save it to another partition would also work?

  #Is there a way to default value of the image image factory so I can use it to install the new OS, in case I have problems with the operating system in the future?

  If necessary, I can share the screenshot of the partition table to give you an exact idea how my drive is partitioned.

  I would appreciate really no answer on that.

  Looking forward to hear from you.

  Kind regards

  Nick

  "Therefore, the procedure you mentioned on Page 7 of the post, I should be able to recovery of default of origin of the USB Image and not the 25 GB partition that has already been created for this purpose." Is my understanding correct? »

  Comments: The key USB OKR erase everything on your hard drive and recreate the partitions including the operating system. So, it will be as you receive your unit of Lenovo. So don't forget to make a backup of your personal files.

  "In case the OKR on laptop breaks because of the re-parititioning of the C drive, I still have the USB for it?

  What actually flash as recovery disk, if for some reason, my OS is corrupted and I am unable to start my OKR has messed up too, I would still be able to load/install operating system to factory image on my laptop? »

  Comments: In case that spoil you the partitions, you can restore to factory State (actually you can now decide what size of drive C).

• Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 - problem disk MBR/GPT (or BIOS/UEFU)

  Hello!

  Someone would be kind enough to tell me how I can disable the UEFI BIOS of my Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 mode?
  (I can see very little things and options in the menu of the BIOS for the moment).
  It is necessary, as I want to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium on my computer and during installation there is an error message - while choosing the partition where to install the system: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »
  And I read somewhere that disable UEFI mode would solve the problem.

  Furthermore, I have ideas or suggestions for this problem.

  There are two solutions for your problem.

  CAVEAT! The two ways in which I am proposing are going to ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA on YOUR HD! If you what you want to backup, copy before doing so.
  First of all, easy, is to delete all partitions on your drive through the windows setup utility. Then, windows will offer to convert GPT disk.
  Or, if windows is not this "automatic" way, you can convert GPT disk using diskpart.
  To do this, use this manual to access the http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/682-command-prompt-startup.html of the console

  Then, type following commands

  DiskPart

  Wait until it loads, then

  LIST DISK<-- this="" will="" list="" currently="" connected="" disks,="" you="" should="" determine="" which="" of="" the="" disks="" is="" the="" one="" on="" which="" you="" want="" to="" install="" windows="" and="" remember="" its="">

  SELECT DISK <0> <--you should="" replace=""> <0>with the number you had on the previous step, in most cases, it would be 0

  CLEAN

  CONVERT A GPT

  CREATE PARTITION EFI SIZE = 200 OFFSET = 1024

  SELECT PARTITION 1

  FORMAT FS = FAT32 QUICK

  CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SIZE = OFFSET = 206848

  SELECT PARTITION 2

  FORMAT FS = NTFS QUICK

  That should be all) after that, you should be able to install windows on your hard drive.
