How to restore the F11 - WIN7 feature

I'll keep this short and sweet because some people may not wish to have to read the boring details of why this is necessary. If you don't want to understand why to read my post on the subject titled repair MBR.

Does anyone know if Lenovo has provided a repair kit MBR for Windows 7 (USB or CD ISO) systems in order to restore the F11 feature? In addition to getting the Lenovo recovery disks, if not, how is a customer supposed to get their licensed copy of Microsoft Windows?

I'm not interested by workarounds such as changing the MBR using GRUB or a third-party utility. I'm looking for official manufacturer in this regard resolution, if any; nothing else. Thanks in advance!

Just as I'm ready to throw in the towel to restore the image of WIN7 factory I have a solution. It is not the best solution, but it's a functional purpose. The irony here is incredible: a single keyword I forgot to include in my search for rescue or recovery options was the following: ONEKEY!

I would have saved myself COUNTLESS hours of frustration and head banging ALL the forum posts that I read has included this information so I hope that THIS post will help prevent these for future users who encounter a similar situation.

Without further ADO, THE SOLUTION IS this...

Download and install Lenovo OneKey Recovery for Windows 7 64 - bit NOT rescue & recovery!

I found it here, but it may be located in the other pages as well, certainly NOT on a page of H420:

Lenovo OneKey Recovery for Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit) - Lenovo G550

http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=DS018296

FORTUNATELY it has installed successfully unlike R & R 4.5 or 4.51. I executed the program in the WIN7 base which I installed previously. When I chose the OneKey Recovery option, the system restarted in recovery utility and restored the original from the hidden partition image (the same score I did NOT remove the suggestion of a user here!).

F11 feature remains broken so this option will not work for all those wishing to recover the current operating system, unless they can do regular backups to recover from. I don't not even in the discussion about WHY Lenovo uses different recovery systems products. Also, I don't think this work around absolves Lenovo to create a utility to manage their boot manager/MBR owners. I'm just happy to put this issue at the end once and for all. I will not recommend the Lenovo products for family, friends, colleagues, or clients in the future. Good luck to those that do!

Lesson learned!

  • How to restore the new PIN tab older versions of firefox?

    I recently updated my version of Firefox to V.33 and I really don't like the layout of the websites suggested or "pinned". The previous version, I used had only three "pins" to a row with three columns, giving me a total of 9 "pinned" sites This new update gives me many more options, but they are about a quarter of the size of those used in the previous version of Firefox, I had, makes it very difficult for someone (like me) who has poor eyesight to select good 'pine '. I love this browser but this severely affects the way I use it and I would just go back to things I'm used to.

    If someone know everything on how to restore just this one feature I would be extremely grateful if you could share.

    Thank you.

    It is on the page of the new tab (Ctrl + t)? These pages come from your story unless you pinned your own pages here.

    33 Firefox now to spend up to 5 thumbnails. You can reduce the number of thumbnails per row back to 3 by modifying a parameter "behind the scenes", but I'm not sure it will help because the size of the thumbnail is also depends on the available height:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtabpage.columns and change your change of 5 to 3, and then tap OK.

    As an alternative, this helps the page zoom (hold the CTRL and press +)?

    The current driver is:

  • Re: Satellite A300 - how to restore the original condition?

    Hello

    My computer freezes for a second or 2 from time to time and Toshiba support told me it might be a software problem. I don't think, because he began the day I bought the laptop and the display driver keeps on the work stoppage, but because I said that if it's a software problem.
    I would have to pay for it, I want to try everything before sending it for repair. This is why I would like to restore my Satellite in its original state as he was just at the moment where I bought it.

    So basically I have 2 questions:

    1 - does anyone have any idea why it keeps freezing on me? And what I should try to do to fix it?
    2. can someone tell me how to restore the laptop to its original state?

    Thank you very much Dina

    Hello

    To determine if it of a software problem or not, you need to restore the factory setting and if it doesn't work you can go to an authorized service provider. They can repair the laptop for you.

    The factory settings can be restored with the Toshiba recovery disc. I guess that your laptop has been delivered with Windows Vista, if you have options to restore factory settings: the Toshiba disk recovery or HARD drive recovery service.

    HARD drive recovery function formats the first partition of your laptop and install Vista again with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. It is an image that is stored on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder HDDRecovery.
    If you go into the advanced with F8 boot menu after you start the computer, you can start this feature of Toshiba. And then select Repair my computer and some Windows files will be loaded. Then, you can choose the function to drive HARD Toshiba Recovery and follow the instructions on the screen.

    The Toshiba Recovery disk, you must create first, or have you done this yet? Normally, you get a reminder of recovery message after the first start of the laptop that you must burn this disc. Therefore, you must the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator and the image in the folder in HARD drive recovery will be burned on the disc. Then you have a startup disk that can restore the factory settings and HARD whole disc formats then back up your data first!
    The recovery disk is necessary if you have a new HDD or Windows start doesn t. Otherwise, you can use HARD drive recovery.

    I hope I could help a bit and now you understand how to restore the factory settings.
    If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

    1. how to restore the Mail app?

    With a strong carrier network (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

    1) register HRT

    • Please wait "the Activation' Messages, one per already configured e-mail account, arrive in your Messages. If you have not already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

    3) restart

    • With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot-~ 5 minutes...
    • See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    N ° of BB devices lack a complete email client on them. Instead, they depend on the BIS service to provide messaging functionality. BIS is active when you have also listed Internet/personal email where you currently see only Enterprise. All services of BIS, are sent to the device via data carrier network... contact them are therefore the right approach to discover why their network is no longer to deliver to you the services that you pay for.

    Good luck and let us know!

    Are - what you got to remove the calculator of your applications on the phone? You can find the calculator on the phone itself? If you find it, then try a reset.
