Can I use the BIOS of the entire region?

I bought an e520 edge yesterday at the Japan. I was expecting to the bios language is Japanese, but it is in English, which is what I want.

I want to update bios, but I'm afraid that the website of Lenovo Japan will change the language in Japanese. Can I use the one from the American site?

Thank you.

Stephanie, welcome to the forum,

Yes you can.  It's actually probably the same BIOS, I am not aware that Lenovo release BIOS in different languages.

If you need to update the BIOS I highly recommend to download the iso disk image, burn the image to a cd and then boot from it to perform the update.

  • Can I use the 2nd HD with RAID 0 in my G15-AV501 QOSMIO?

    Dear,

    I have a QOSMIO G15-AV501. This model does not support HD RAID by the BIOS, but I would use software RAID.
    The question is: can I use the 2nd HD using RAID 0 by re? I will use as RAID 0 in order to promote the overall performance. Is this possible?

    Thank you.

    Dario of Colombia.

    Hello

    I don t think you will be able to use the RAID if the laptop doesn't supports RAID and has no RAID controller.
    Usually for RAID using the RAID controller driver must be installed. This must be done at the beginning of the installation of the OS. Without this driver HARD drive can't be recognized and you will not be able to install the operating system.

    However, as I know the RAID option doesn t accelerates the overall performance.
    The RAID is useful if the first disk goes dead and restore you the data.
    RAID mirroring option saves the data on two hard disks.

  • Can I use the SATA port connected to an optical drive to plug in a hard drive?

    I have a Pavilion e9270t desktop, Win7 Pro SP1, and I want to connect 3 HARD drive to the motherboard. Can I do this? Can I use the SATA port connected to an optical drive to plug in a hard drive?

    Thanks, CHemming

    CHemming,

    I've not seen UEIF support in the existing BIOS.

    If your demand on a 3T led, re - consider a maximum of 2 T.

    If you ask to have 3 hard disks, then you can do it without harassing the present cable of CD.

    The cage of your system hard disk will support 3 hard disks. Manual upgrade service

    All you need are the SATA data and power cables. Your Board has 4 SATA data ports.

    When you report back after inspecting your system for SATA power cables, I will move the cables and adapters, if necessary.

  • Can I use the full Version of Windows 7 that I would use the edition update for Windows XP?

    Can I use the full Version of Windows 7 to upgrade Windows XP with a custom installation, as I would with Windows 7 Upgrade Edition if I want? (If I decided that I would rather clean the entire hard drive so I can use the full Version of Windows 7 without the need of Windows XP or Vista)

    Hello

    To upgrade your Windows XP computer to Windows 7, you will need to select custom during installation of Windows 7. A custom installation keeps your programs, files or settings. It is sometimes called a 'clean' for this reason installation.

  • Can I use the Time Capsule wireless for multiple computers without using it as a router?

    I am looking for an external backup for 2 computers drive.  I have a desktop iMac and MacBook Air.  I like the idea of being able to back up my MacBook Air wireless, but I need to make sure that it will work the way I need to.

    I already have a wireless router that works well for me, I don't need the time Capsule to act as a router. I'm just needing a wireless backup drive.  So, the question is, can I use the only time Capsule as a storage device for backup of wifi or do I also have to use it as a wifi router?  My fear is that the router service is not as good as the router, I currently have.  I live in a big House of 2 floors, making it very difficult to receive a strong signal throughout the House.

    can I use time Capsule only as a backup wireless storage device or do I also have to use it as a wifi router?

    Time Capsule need to connect to your router/modem existing using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

    If you plan to use the time Capsule to back up your Mac with the help of the application Time Machine on every Mac, the Mac will have to save on the wireless signal Time Capsule for the process to be officially supported by Apple.

    While it is possible to turn off wireless on the Time Capsule and try to save it to your existing wireless network... and it pourrait work... but there will be no Apple support backup problems... so it would be a good idea to plan to use Time Capsule wireless backup purposes.

    There is a problem with your installation of OS X. The easiest way, but not the fastest way to fix it is to reinstall the operating system. Unless you are in a hurry or have measured access to the network, it is what I suggest, especially since I don't know if there are any problems with the installation. Please backup all data before reinstalling. You won't need the backup unless something is wrong.

    The below, advanced shortcut if it works, can save you some downtime (and the cost of a download of several gigabyte, if necessary.)

    1 back up all data.

    2. disconnect all external storage devices.

    3. start in recovery mode. Select a language, if you are prompted. The OS X Utilities appears. One of the options is to install OS X. This is not what you do.

    4. This step is only necessary if you use FileVault 2. If you don't know what's FileVault, you use it. Go to the next step. Otherwise, launch utility disk, then select the icon for the volume FileVault ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Select open in the file menu and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

    5. Select get online help. Safari will launch. While in recovery, you will have no access to your Favorites, but you won't need them. Load this web page.

    6. triple - click anywhere in the line below to select this option:

    chflags -R norestricted /V*/*/S*/*/Caches

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    7. Quit Safari. You go back to the OS X Utilities screen.

    In the menu bar, select

    Utilities ▹ Terminal

    Launch the Terminal application. Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination.

    Wait for a new line ending with a number sign (#) to appear. Quit the Terminal must be returned to the main screen.

    8. Select

    ▹ Restart 

    in the menu bar.

    9. This step must be performed after the restart, and while you are logged as administrator, not in recovery mode. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Select and copy this line as in step 6:

    sudo /usr/libexec/xpchelper --rebuild-cache

    Paste in a Terminal as before. You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

    If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and repeat this step. You don't have to repeat the previous steps.

    Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered.

    10. make as in step 9 with this line:

    sudo /usr/libexec/*/app_sandbox_cache_builder --rebuild-cache

    You can then quit Terminal.
