Installing XP on M58

Hi, it seems I did something stupid here.

Turning my M58 for the first time, I stopped the installation of Vista program because I need to run Windows XP for work. I thought that the thing to do was to use the recovery disk set to reinstall using the product recovery disc. Then I changed the boot order to get the DVD and rebooted with the recovery disk. I went in the menus, but it seems that the program is always looking for a backup set and does not seem to recognize the product as a recovery disk.

Now, all that happens is that the books system in rescue and recovery mode. Where I'm going wrong?

Thanks for any help,

Andy

I didn't start using the DVD.

However, through a round point average:

  • creating a recovery located across the M58 (due to different disk partitions).
  • try to use a retail XP Pro (no blue screen due to a shortage of pilots, not separable due to the absence of floppy drive, USB key no good)

I came across a little older "Rescue and recovery DVD" dated October 2008 (instead of November 2008). Boot from it and by going to the Advanced menu and choosing "System Restore" actually gave me the option to restore factory settings. Following the previous thread, by clicking on "no" to the question of additional disk then allowed me to "Product recovery disc" correct and heh presto I now have XP running.

It is meaningless for me, why the rescue and recovery disc that came with the system only allowed a recovery from a backup rather than factory restore, but hey ho, it's ANY admin for you.

Thank you for support you Andy,

Andy

  • M58 series via LAN (GROUND Intel) driver

    After RIS'ing a client with windows XP, I had to update some devices in the device with the correct drivers Manager. But after all downloads for my 7360AEG M58, I'll still have an unknown device "PCI Serial Controller."

    After Google search, I found that this can be solved by downloading the 'LAN (SOL) series' driver from Intel, which provided chipset. Only problem is that I don't know exactly what chipset I have. Anyone know of a driver that will install on my client to get rid of the last "unknown device"?

    Hello Tom,

  • Pilot network for M58 - 9960

    Today, I have acquired a 9960 M58 quad core. It doesn't have an operating system, but it has a license for Windows 7. The installation went well except that the ethernet port is not recognized after I downloaded and installed the drivers from Lenovo. The report of pilots as being installed correctly, but Device Manager reports error 10, what the device fails to start.

    The built-in Ethernet port is enabled in the BIOS. The drivers for the chipset are installed. The computer acts as if the Ethernet port is bad, but the computer was extracted by a very competent repairer. Of course, it could be bad, but this is my last option.

    Am I missing? Is there something special about this computer or Windows 7? Uninstalling the driver and restarting the computer caused the driver to be reinstalled, but the port still does not work. The lights do not light when the network cable is connect. (The network cable works because I connected to another computer. In addition, I connected this cable to another computer, and he worked there.)

    I installed Windows on at least 1000 computers literally. Obviously, acting like a bad port. However, sometimes things change (for example the AHCI), so I hope someone can tell me what could be the problem.

    If the ethernet connection is activated, and the LED lights when you plug something in, then it is most likely have some hardware problems.

  • Image XP M58 7483

    Hello

    I created an XP image for a m58 disabling AHCI as suggested in other posts. I could get the image entirely created and download the correct drivers, but when I try to enable the AHCI, the drive is not detected. Windows XP screen starts flashing and then the computer restarts. I tried to download Intel Matrix Storage Manager but when I run the executable, it says that my system does not meet the minimum requirements. So I ran utility chipset Intel to detect mines and nothing can be detected. Any ideas? I don't want to not start over and wake.

    I thought about it. Download Intel Matrix Storage Manager here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70841. Run setup.exe from where ever he saved. Probably here: C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\RAU\a1rau07us17. It will give you a few songs and dances on your hardware not supported.

    Open a command prompt and navigate to this folder. (cd c:\swtools\drivers\rau\a1rau07us17...in in my case). In this folder, run this command: set - a PEI C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\RAU\a1rau07us17. Follow the prompts.

    It will extract the files to a different location. Probably here: C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\RAU\a1rau07us17\winall\Driver. Go to the Device Manager and select the SATA controller.

    -Driver update-> not at the moment (for windows update)->

    -Install from a specific location (Advanced)->

    -Do not search. I'll choose.--> Have disk

    -Look for the new folder we just created (C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\RAU\a1rau07us17\winall\Driver) probably there since we have the same computer.

    -Select the iastor.inf file, and click Open. Click ok.

    A list of AHCI controller will go up. Choose the right pair. Make sure that it matches the current SATA controller you have in Device Manager. Mine was something something ICH10. Press Next and you will get a warning. Click Yes. Click Finish. Click Yes to restart the computer.

    Go back into the BIOS and change SATA to AHCI settings. Do not forgot to save. He will enter in Windows and the "found something new material will go up." Let it do its thing and reboot when prompted.

    You have installed the AHCI controller drivers after you have created an XP image!

  • A M58 9960-AKU works with an ATI BIZVIEW 2400 graphics card?

    I have a client who needs to run 4 monitors on its new Lenovo M58.  I installed the card, tried everything I can think of to get the M58 to recognize, and when I go to install the ATI drivers for it tells me no ATI device.  I tried to adjust the video in the BIOS PCI, PCI-E, and automatic mode with the same result every time.  I know not all ATI cards and not all Lenovo play well together.  Where can I find out whether or not this combination will work together?

    It's the card in question:

    After much trying and much headache, I found a driver that would work for this card and the M58.  I had once the Catalyst Control Center to install the rest worked.  Thanks for the help.

  • Need to install Java command line tool

    I get this error after the installation of the new OS sierra. Java is up to date. How can I fix it?  Thank you.

    The most likely cause is the program that wants to use Java's only request the use of Apple legacy Java 6. That the developers didn't like enough to have use Java the right way, you need to install Apple legacy Java 6 or uninstall the program that wants to use Java - likely produced Adobe or a Facebook video chat program.

    Download Java for OS X 2015-001

    Maybe it's that the program requires a JDK be installed instead the JRE from Java.com. So, if you download the SDK Java Oracle of Oracle's Web site, then you might try that if you have a recent version of Java. However, I don't think I've seen someone declare that as successful as the program who need Java so poorly designed.
