Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 - problem disk MBR/GPT (or BIOS/UEFU)

Hello!

Someone would be kind enough to tell me how I can disable the UEFI BIOS of my Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 mode?
(I can see very little things and options in the menu of the BIOS for the moment).
It is necessary, as I want to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium on my computer and during installation there is an error message - while choosing the partition where to install the system: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »
And I read somewhere that disable UEFI mode would solve the problem.

Furthermore, I have ideas or suggestions for this problem.

There are two solutions for your problem.

CAVEAT! The two ways in which I am proposing are going to ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA on YOUR HD! If you what you want to backup, copy before doing so.
First of all, easy, is to delete all partitions on your drive through the windows setup utility. Then, windows will offer to convert GPT disk.
Or, if windows is not this "automatic" way, you can convert GPT disk using diskpart.
To do this, use this manual to access the http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/682-command-prompt-startup.html of the console

Then, type following commands

DiskPart

Wait until it loads, then

LIST DISK<-- this="" will="" list="" currently="" connected="" disks,="" you="" should="" determine="" which="" of="" the="" disks="" is="" the="" one="" on="" which="" you="" want="" to="" install="" windows="" and="" remember="" its="">

SELECT DISK <0> <--you should="" replace=""> <0>with the number you had on the previous step, in most cases, it would be 0

CLEAN

CONVERT A GPT

CREATE PARTITION EFI SIZE = 200 OFFSET = 1024

SELECT PARTITION 1

FORMAT FS = FAT32 QUICK

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SIZE = OFFSET = 206848

SELECT PARTITION 2

FORMAT FS = NTFS QUICK

That should be all) after that, you should be able to install windows on your hard drive.

  • Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 WiFi card upgrade question

    I decided to upgrade WiFi modem to my laptop at the more recent. So, I checked the hardware maintenance manual for my laptop for the necessary equipment and discovered that the best option would be "WLAN card, 802.11a/g/n & 802.16e, Intel 6250NX MOW M NB PCIE HMC" (number FRU: 20002321). So, I bought this WLAN card key and after installation of the equipment THAT BIOS began to display error message "104 network device not detected. Even though I have updated the BIOS to the latest version available.

    It would be good to have some explanations on the HCL. Otherwise, it seems that I just lost my money on incompatible hardware.

    I'm afraid you have a wifi card that is not allowed to know why you have the message. Look at the map if it has the fru number in the manual.

  • Lenovo Ideapad U310 speaker problem

    Hi all

    My U310 of Lenovo Ideapad has had problems of speaker,

    The headphones work correctly, but the built-in speakers that are Awefully located inbetween as the hinge and the base of the screen do not work.

    I first thought it was a problem with the headphone jack that could have cut the circuit internal speaker because of the incorrect removal of the headphone jack, but it is not true because I've noticed that its a problem with the angle I keep tilt of the screen.

    On the passage of the screen at any angle above 90 or 100 degrees, the speakers cut in and are activated once its below 80 degrees.

    I'm a little worried about the words on it?

    Kind regards

    raisedadead.

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!

    Thank you Alaa,

    The problem is now solved, mainly the mobile hinge was obstruction in fact the thread that connects the speakers, according to the service technician. Need to replace the wiring had been damaged by the hinge. A manufacturing problem small on the wire does not correctly connected to the hinge. Thank you

    I'm tapped with continuous tapping of the touch screen of my laptop, even if no one is in contact with it.

    This often happens when I use the touch screen or leave my laptop on for too long. I tried to disable and uninstall the drivers for the touchscreen device but it keeps appearing whenever I start my PC in Device Manager.

    Someone knows how to fix this? I've already sent this unit to the service center, but the problem persists.

    Hi Vlad,

    Thanks for the reply.

    The problem persists even after installing new drivers and calibration of the touch settings, this could be a problem with the hardware. I suggest you to contact the Lenovo Support for assistance on this issue.

  • Dead on the Ideapad Z570 pixel

    3 butterflies have elapsed since I bought a new Ideapad Z570. A week ago I noticed a black dot near the Windows Start button. I tried to wipe it with a cloth, but he was always there, discovered it's a dead pixel. I called Lenovo support, send some pictures and they have confirmed that this is a dead pixel and to guarantee it must be 3 dead pixels. They also told me that if I want my screen has changed, I have to pay 160 euros aroud. I don't think it's ok only after 3 months of use, a laptop should have this kind of problems and I am very disappointed with the response, I received service of Lenovo. After I paid 700 euros for the laptop around to pay another 160 for a display. I've owned computers portable to other brands but never had any problems. Now I have to wait and hope that more than 2 pixels would die?

    Sorry to hear that, but there is nothing that you/we can do about it. warranty does not cover replacement if you have less than 3 dead pixels.

  • Adapter network on laptop computer Lenovo IdeaPad U350, works do not since upgrading to Windows 7.

    Hello.
    Am running windows 7 on a laptop computer Lenovo IdeaPad U350, but experiencing problems with the network adapter. Wireless connection works, but I can not connect via the direct cable connection. All of the updates were made and in device, the network card Manager (Broadcom 802.11 g network adapter) seems to work fine, BUT still I can't connect. I downloaded the driver from the manuvacturer (Lenovo) and installed. He still does not!

    Any ideas how to solve this problem? I am currently connected to the internet via a wireless connection, but need a wired connection.

    PLEASE HELP :)

    Here's a solution - eventually had to resort to using the Ethernet coz I had to transfer massive amounts of data and using the WiFi was just a bad idea.

    Agree with the above the drivers Lenovo doesn't have just a whole bunch of stuff (unzip, etc, etc) and curiously does not seem to go through the process to INSTALL anything... disappointment.

    For those of you who know how to get to the old plant 'Disc' (Yes, they still exist in Win7), you can get your hands on the drivers here http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netlink_k57.php--est comes with the good old INF files to tell the system what and where to install

    Go to disc (fuck..... another Google process [Bing since I'm on a MS Web site] the answer)...

    0 have the Admin rights
    1. open your browser.
    2. right click on computer / my computer > properties > Device Manager
    3. I hope that the offending devices (Ethernet in this case) shows prominently in the other category
    4 click on it > properties
    5 looking around for the the driver update button
    6 browse my computer for training software
    7. just choose from devices... (blah blah)
    8 have Disk (tada!)
    9. then point just where you have unpacked the driver with the permission of Broadcomm files.

    Hope that helps.
