• W700 doesn't start, the firm Lenovo support - can anyone help? Please?

  Hiya,

  Major desperation setting in, the someone can help?

  I put my W700 standby a few moments, but it locked to halfway through the sequence and don't wake up again or close. So I had to stop it by pressing the power button.

  Now, it will not work. He tells me that it cannot find the operating system. And Lenovo support closes at 5:30...

  I tried to call Lenovo in the USA, since they have a service 24 hours a day - but don't talk to me because I'm not in the USA. The guy told me to take off the AC power for 'a little' (already done) or to remove the battery for five minutes (which is now).

  But I'm not optimistic that will help you. Someone at - it ideas? It is currently running 64 bit Vista. Or at least, it was.

  Any assistance is welcome. In fact, good beer will be next if anyone can fix it.

  I'm trying hard not to sound too desperate, but I'm having a panic now!

  Hi again,

  Another update: fixed! I finally managed to persuade the machine to boot from the DVD drive and run the software Windows repair. This brought me back into the PC, then I took a few backups to disk and ran diagnostics. USB drivers were assommees, but except that almost everything worked very well.

  As I had suspected, the problem has been attributed to a procedure of a translation package that I use - he was known to have problems with Vista 64 bit. I never heard of any crashes catastrophics PC makes them, but then again I don't think that those who are released!

  Lenovo 'support' was quite poor. Finally got their hands on them in England this morning to be told that my warranty had not been recorded by the company, that I bought the machine, so I had to wait 3 hours while they checked that I had a W700 real and not a box £ 2500 at low prices from the market. Or something. Date to which I had mostly upward and run anyway, after a sleepless night of the insistence of the buttons and the endless reboots!

  In any case, thanks to all who responded - your help is valuable, and I really appreciate it. If I can help in return I would willingly - but I suspect that your computer knowledge is far superior to mine!

• I have an old iso of windows 7 at my University and I want to install it on a new machine.

  I have an old iso of windows 7 at my University and I want to install it on a new machine. The terms of use of installation of mention that it subject to the original agreement of the University. I have graduated and am no longer a student. Can I use this iso standard and buy a product key after installation? Or I have to buy a new package of windows 7?

  If I can use the disk is it a place to buy a product key on microsofts website? I kind of remember a possibility to buy a key during the activation process, but I don't want to install this version and have to start over.

  Thanks for the help

  Original title: installation of windows 7

  I have an old iso of windows 7 at my University and I want to install it on a new machine. The terms of use of installation of mention that it subject to the original agreement of the University. I have graduated and am no longer a student. Can I use this iso standard and buy a product key after installation? Or I have to buy a new package of windows 7?

  Yes, you can use the same key and buy a new product key (same edition). Of course, you can simply buy a retail box package in order to get the key. There is no digital distribution of the keys (if you find one, they are illegal).

  If I can use the disk is it a place to buy a product key on microsofts website?

  No, you buy the retail package to get the key.

  I kind of remember a possibility to buy a key during the activation process, but I don't want to install this version and have to start over.

  You can try to use the key if you still have it and try the activation of the phone.

  How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
   
  1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
   
  (2) press the ENTER"" key.
   
  (3) select your "country" in the list.
   
  (4) choose the option "activate phone".
   
  (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
   
  (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

• Get original iso of Windows 8 free serial key

  Hi all!

  I have a problem with my Dell. I tried to install Ubuntu Linux on my laptop and the installer accidentally erased my Windows preinstalled with all my data 8 and so on. Is it possible to download an iso original Windows 8 to burn it to a CD or a bootable USB and install Windows 8? I tried downloading the tool from Microsoft, but I need my serial key, which is hidden somewhere in my UEFI/BIOS. Maybe Dell can send me some iso or the link to download? Someone had a similar problem?

  Thank you, Peter.

  Microsoft has updated the Downloader so that it does not require a product key and gives a Windows 8.1 with update 1 that accepts product keys Windows 8.0 and 8.1 for installation both retail and OEM. It now allows choice of architecture, language and version. See here for more details:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Microsoft-Windows-and-Office/Download-Microsoft-Windows/

  The downloader requires a launch Windows operating system it's a .exe then its best to use a Windows based computer. If this isn't the case, you must download Windows 7 and install without a VirtualBox/VMWare Player product key, and then use it to download Windows 8.1. It's easier to just use another computer.

• I hope someone can help me. I changed a few settings in the BIOS Setup, and now I have just a black screen. I changed the main boot to the DVD player device. is it possible to reset to original settings?

  I am running Windows XP

  clint341,
  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers forum.  We cannot guide you more precisely by changing the BIOS settings that the BIOS settings are specific to your motherboard.  However, most (if not all) parameters of the BIOS have an option to restore the default BIOS (sometimes called "default opitimized").  It may be an option in the menu that you highlight, then press enter or it can be assigned to an F key and States at the bottom of the screen, press F? for the default settings.  I hope this helps.  If you are still not able to reset, check with the manufacturer of PC for more information about the BIOS.

• Boot Camp supports only Windows 7 or later installation on that platform. Please use a file ISO of Windows 7 or later installation.

  Hello

  I tried to fix this for hours, I hope someone can help me.

  I downloaded the ISO "Win10_1607_English_x64.iso" (4.29 GB) file and with him came a "info.plist" (2 KB), so they are both on my 64 GB USB Drive (format: MS-DOS (FAT32)) called 'WINSTALL '.

  I have the ISO on the USB key, and it is selected as the ISO image in Boot Camp. I also have the USB the disk of destination selected, and yet I get this error:

  Your bootable USB key could not be created

  Boot Camp supports only Windows 7 or later installation on that platform. Please use a file ISO of Windows 7 or later installation.

  I'm currently under OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6 on my iMac (21.5 inch, end 2012) that is compatible with Windows 10.

  If anyone can help me I honestly love so much, I tried contacting Apple Support staff by phone, they said that they can't do anything, I tried to contact their Live Chat, but none of this has helped to solve the problem, and I tried to look online, but can't find too much.

  Thanks in advance for any answer!

  What OSX Version do you have? This site gives the requirements of Bootcamp: minimum system requirements to install Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support. And you did an upgrade? Could it be that the upgrade will not correctly for the OS?

  Looking at the 10 Windows version you downloaded, is the update of birthday, which was released less than a month ago. It could be that Apple is not reconisgin the Windows version when reading the disk, because it is too recent. I don't know if you have access to the download of the previous generation and do a Windows update?

• Qosmio G20: Possible boot from a USB device?

  Dear all,

  I am writing for you good people was whether it is possible to start a Qosmio G20 via a connected USB device, an external hard drive.

  I wonder if it is taken in charge (or tolerable) within the limits of the current Qosmio G20 BIOS and/or if any could attempt on my part to make taken in charge (i.e. are there buttons I can push levers, I can pull or numbers I can play to get there).

  The reason why I have is that my laptop has a multitude of technical difficulties that point to the hardware failure, among them a vertical line on my screen and a problem with my optical drive, making it impossible for me to write a CD or DVD.

  In the unlikely event that the good folks at Toshiba support are forced to replace the hard drive (or the system) it would be nice to have a way to restore the system to its current configuration (in this sense, I'm looking for a way to create my own bootable recovery disc produced) however the lack of functionality in the Department of optical drive ties my hands a little (I can't create a recovery of) product custom CD/DVD but I might create a product on my external HARD drive recovery partition).

  Thus, it would be useful to be able to boot from a USB, not essential of course as any disk image could be comfortably written to disk through my soon-to-be renovated system (of course it would be quicker to start just by the USB bus and avoid all this nonsense).

  Sincere greetings,
  Lee Hyde.

  Hello

  I am sorry to say that you will not be able to boot from the external USB HDD. The BIOS does not support this feature.
  According to different threads here in the support of forum Toshiba Qosmio G20 BIOS supports these devices to start:
  Floppy USB drive, 1st/2nd HDD, ODD, network (LAN)

  As you can see it s possible to floppy USB FDD but not the USB external HDD
