IdeaPad Y500 problems windows installation 7/8

Hello, I just bought all new IdeaPad Lenovo Y500 650 m SLI. It came without windows OS (BACK only) - I'm in Europe, so configuration may be slightly different. Now, I want to install 8 64-bit windows. I have a genuine copy of windows 8 (via MSAA/Dreamspark) and he wrote in the pendrive (USB drive bootable in fact of course). I used it to check on my old laptop, I was able to get into the installer without any problems.

But I can't get the installer to work on my Y500. Once I have inserted the USB and turn on my laptop I get frozen over "lenovo" splash screen or the same screen then black screen and a reboot (essentially the computer restarts every 2-3 seconds).

I tried different settings in the BIOS. I changed the for Legacy Support, but not good UEFI boot mode. I have tried deactivation/activation of start secure, not good.

And the USB boot is probably active.

Overall, I played with many different combinations such as the various parameters of the BIOS, different usb keys, different versions of installation (I even tried Windows 7, same problem)

If I boot my computer without usb key, it seems to start on BACK normally.

Help, please!

Hi all

I managed to solve this problem by simply buying a new USB 2.0 flash drive.

Turns out that 2 different USB keys I tried before, for some reason any have not accepted by the laptop (Interestingly - why?).

I hope this helps if someone runs into the same problem

Bye!

  • I can't install Windows XP SP3. Windows Installer of my computer is buggy and I can't fix it.

    Title really says it all, but I guess I can go into the details here.  I'm trying to update my PalmOne M505 to work with Windows XP.  I have the .exe file.  It uses Windows Installer to install so I can read my M505 with XP.  Problem: Windows Installer is completely planted on my computer for some reason any.

    On a related note, I can't install updates; probably due to the installer of Windows being broken.  I followed the instructions on the page to support to the letter (and the number!), but it does not solve anything.  I could use a little help...

    Even if someone does that send me some kind of update package that does not use Windows Installer...

    And on a side note, what the bajeezus, I chose not only as my profile name!  It should be "Kaos_Lord!"

    Note 2: it is fixed?

    What the heck!  It is an error to Windows XP!  I did not in the Windows 7 forum.

    [This forum is for discussions specific to Windows Update on Win7, Vista, and Windows XP, despite what you see at the top of the page or in the URL. Yes, it's @# $% & confusing! [What were they thought?]

    Backup of personal data (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then do a format and clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  • IdeaPad Y500 "Windows doesn't detect any hardware networking".

    Hello

    I have problems with my recently purchased Lenovo Ideapad Y500 because it is impossible to connect to the internet. As a first step, the connection worked well and I managed to set up the connection Wireless using an ethernet cable.

    The problems started when I installed the F-Secure virus/firewall program - in the middle of the installation process (some time after the installation tool uninstalled MacAfee default program) the laptop became unresponsive. First of all everything except the background color disappeared, then the screen went completely empty and the laptop has not responded to other buttons. I waited for about 20 minutes until what I pressed the button for a few seconds in order to stop the laptop.

    The laptop rebooted normally, and the installation of F-Secure program was still underway. However, because the laptop had been closed at halfway, I decided to cancel the installation and re-install the program. I removed the parts installed with Control Panel tools, to realize that the wireless internet from the laptop disappeared.

    The laptop detects all connections; the network group says no connection is available. Previously, before the strange white screen problem, the Panel showed several nearby wi - fi networks. When I try to connect via the Network Center and sharing, I get only "Windows does not detect any networking hardware." Connect the ethernet cable (connected to the modem/router) makes no difference.

    I managed to solve this problem. For some reason, the pilots of two network components have been updated but did not work, so I did a restore on those, the question of fixing.

  • How can I fix problems created with Windows Installer Cleanup?

    I had some problems installing a software on my Windows XP and had to run the software Windows Installer Cleanup before the program installs. I was stupid and didn't choose carefully what programs should perform the Windows Installer Cleanup. So now my automatic updates for my XP will not be installed.

    Here is the message I get when trying to install the automatic updates:

    Initializing installation... done!
    Install the update of security Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 for Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP (KB974417) (update 1 of 1)...

    Here is the result:

    Some updates not can be installed.
    The following updates have not can be installed:
    A security update Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 for Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP (KB974417)

    This is the only notification I receive the updates failed. I think it's because the link to the installer of windows has been removed by the software Windows Installer Cleanup.

    How can I correct this situation?

    Kind regards

    Red Cloud

    Red Cloud,
    If you look at the history of the update, which is the error code for the update failed?  Go through the steps of KB923100 and post back with the results.

  • Problem with Windows Installer (I think)

    Hey I just got a new 'game' PC with all the good things like i7 processor nvidia GTS 250 graphics card. So I guessed I would setup games. Games were installed very well the problems started when I tried to run SteamInstall.msi he looks ready to install for 1 second and then close and nothing happen. Even try to do once again nothing. So I gave up with it.

    Then I installed cod4, codwaw and download for both patches. When I try to install the patches it starts normal and after extractinng saying "" ".msi or msu or something it get stuck on the preparation for installation on both cod4, codwaw games and I think about others too... '".

    So I guess that's my Windows Installer problem... ? Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 (problems on SP1 also)

    Yoris,
    I think that if you had a problem with Windows Installer, then you would have also had a problem installing the games themselves.  If after installing just the game, you are able to start the game, then you will need to determine if you really need the patches you install.  If they fix game issues and do not add any content, then you may not even need of patches.  If it turns out that you do not have the patches and they are self extracting\installing files and then save them to your desktop and then right click and select run as administrator and see if that helps.  You can also check with Activision support , because this can be a problem they know.
