Lenovo Thinkpad S440 install Windows 7 USB

Hello guys,.

I have a big problem. After days of disliking the preinstalled Windows 8.1Pro I wanted to install Windows 7 Professional 64 bit ISO (X 17-59885) with a stick of unetbootin.

First of all, I wiped the entire disk with 'Ubuntu Live CD' (installed on a USB key).

After that, I tried 3 different USB keys I put on the Windows 7 with Unetbootin to install on my HARD drive.

The Start Menu shows the sticks but can't open it.

I already went in BIOS (ThinkPad Setup) and tried a few changes but nothing helped.

Important: I have no external DVD drive

Try another usb key that I used this method on 10 usb keys because it is a way to give to my classmates of backups of the operating system, I had a few USB stick which would not work with the tool, because I use the tool to copy the iso on usb, I'm not sure any other tool

  • Lenovo Y50 cannot install Windows 7 - no device drivers were found

    Hi I just bought the laptop Lenovo Y50 and wanted to install windows 7 Home premium 64-bit instead of preinstalled windows 8. I use the external dvd drive because there is not an intern. I had to change the start of the legacy settings to boot from usb. However when I get to the part where I press "install windows" error comes up saying that no device drivers were found. I am able to navigate and see my sheets but not able to select one. Help, please! Thank you in advance.

    Moved to other/unknown install, upgrade and activate Forum.

    You should consider dual-boot instead:

    You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

    Return the laptop if it came preloaded with Windows 8 and purchase one already preloaded with Windows 7, they are always available:

  • Install windows 7 USB

    Hello. I am tring to create a disk usb flash windows 7 install windows usb/dvd download tool 7, but it says: "status: files copied successfully." However, we were able to run bootsect to make the USB drive bootable. If you need assistance etc... "I am tring to create a windows 7 64 bit install usb flash on my laptop which runs Windows 8 64-bit language. After plugging in the usb on my desk, it gives an error: cannot start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause etc etc. I have a windows crashed on my desk that makes a loop at startup screen with a stupid loop of windows startup tool. But my windows crashed does not even work because I have not set as 2nd boot drive on my Bios. And when I try to run bootsect.exe manually, it gives an error saying: this tool can be run on starting systems using a pc / at bios. This system has been started using EFI or another type of firmware. First of all, I think this must be a joke. I mean, I can't do something because my current system does not work with it? It's my laptop, yes it might be using EFI, but I'll stay this usb on my desktop to install windows 7. If someone knows a solution? Yes a fair web searches head me to BOT-promoted solutions. 5 sites different all the same solution with the same person asking question, same person answer and even 4-5 people showing "Yes it works! So yes the web is corrupt way * now.

    I thought about it:

    You cannot run the version that is part of the installation media that you try to make your USB with on a PC/AT firmware or EFI.

    Bootsect is part of my Windows 8.1 UEFI systems and is part of Windows 7 (Vista maybe) on-site.  So what I did was open prompt as administrator, which brings me in C:\Windows\System32.  Note 'C' may be different and will depend on which drive you have your current Windows operating system.

    From there, without changing directories, I typed:

    Bootsect/nt60 f:

    (f is the location of my USB key and will be different for most people, just replace your USB drive for this letter)

    Voila, done.

  • Type screw to Lenovo Thinkpad S440

    Hello world

    One of the screws holding the case on my Thinkpad s440's bit banged up after put an SSD (m2) in my laptop, so I want to buy a few screws to have some spare ones and replace it. The problem is that I have no idea what kind of screw it comes, and I can't find it in the manual of the laptop or the other. The type and size of each screw inside the laptop is in the manual, but nothing on the screws that fix the case. Nobody knows what kind of screws here?

    Thanks in advance.

    No one answered, but for those who want to know, I figured out they are screws 4mm M2, they fit perfectly.

    Hello

    I think that reinstall drive wouldn't work on a virtualized machine, only directly on the Lenovo hardware, in order to prevent the copy of Windows, more whatever additional licensed software is on the media, to be pirated.

    My best advice would be to insert a blank HARD drive in Lenovo ThinkPad S440, use the recovery media, produce an installation complete on the HARD drive and then run a program to convert the HARD physical disk to a virtual machine, as Microsoft Sysinternals Disk2VHD.

    Kind regards

  • Lenovo ThinkPad won't start

    Hello, I'm having a problem with my Lenovo ThinkPad T520 running Windows 7 Professional 64 - Bit. It has a processor Intel Core i5 vPro 4 GB of RAM and a 500 GB HARD drive. It worked fine up until this point. Here is what happened.  It started when I was surfing the web tonight and it froze. I could not click on the 'X' button, use Alt + F4 or Ctrl + Alt + Delete. So I decided for a difficult start. I pressed the power button until it stopped. When I start again, it froze on the Windows splash screen. I waited for about five to ten minutes and started hard again. This time he asked me which option to start, I wanted to use. Start Windows normally or something like return on error. I tried the error recovery option but it was without result. I started again and it froze again. She is still ongoing now. Need help, tell me what I need to do. I hope it has nothing to do with the material because the PC belongs to my work. >_

    Regardless of the fact that he belongs to my work, I am a system administrator.

    You are a system administrator of employment in question of title?  If so, you must solve the problem.  :-)  Or you are just an administrator on the system in question?  Having administrative rights does not make you a sysadmin by title.  * smile *.
     
    No offense meant, but the wording of your question was more like an end user explaining what a system administrator explaining.
     
    You can start safe mode?  If so - how does it work?  You can start using the safe mode with networking?  If so - how it works in this mode?
      
    So you're saying that nothing has changed between her works and does not other than gel?  No updates, no new hardware or software installed, etc.?
     
    Have you tried to use the system restore to go back to a point before the system had problems?
     
    Can you use a Ubuntu boot CD and run it from the CD player to see if the machine starts like that and be usable?
     
    You have the media/method of system recovery in mind and you have a backup of the data, you might need the machine (or a method in place, if you are a system administrator, in order to safeguard a complete system so that you can extract data from such backup after a recovery?)
