• Lenovo V580c HARD drive is dead, can't boot from DVD or other medium

  We have computer laptop lenovo V580c whose HARD drive died - he was already 2 times lol refubrished and it died again. It has Windows preinstalled 8/8.1 and we have upgraded to Windows 10 recently. But as the HARD drive is dead, we need to reinstall the system on the new drive (we of this msata ssd). In any case, I tried to start Notepad with DVD with burned ISO of Windows 10 clean image, but the laptop won't boot from the DVD all of a sudden. No change in the BIOS could help solve - laptop everything simply does not recognize any drive now. He goes through all the boot options and stopped at the initialization of the network which we have not. And then, we see just a small windows with the boot option that do not in any way. Here are some photos: http://imgur.com/a/6R185 http://imgur.com/a/112HY http://imgur.com/a/K1k8Q I have tried BIOS posible lall lifestyles, responsible security settings, used UEFI/legacy/the two, disabled/enabled secure boot. Nothing helps and the laptop is literally unusable now because it's not accept any storage/disk to start. I even tried to remove any startup as HARD drive unit, DVD and new msata I tested before. Computer laptop while still not trying to boot. Of course, it is out of warranty now. What can I do to fix it and make acept to boot from the DVD again? I don't want perair service because it wil cost us money. This product should work in the first place. We had so many bad experience with lenovo with this laptop that I won't buy another their product more.

  If you have a usb key 4 GB you might try to put 10 on which windows and the installation of it, if you do not have a cd key for windows 10 installation I think also there is an option to skip this part that your pc should already be activated with microsoft

  just looked at picture are you sure the dvd that you have done is a bootable

• Broken hard drive repair/replacement

  My 2 year old g580 Lenovo specifications had a hard drive failure where the use of the disc works 100% or at a constant pressure, even if it is inactive. I thought it was a problem too so I bought a Lenovo approved hard drive. Then I read that the OS is attached hard disk.

  I was wondering what course of action, I must take, I read that it is possible to migrate the operating system with some 3rd party software, although it seems a little fishy and I would rather see my alternatives. Is there a way to have a windows replacement drive sent me, or another way to get windows on my laptop?

  Then the product key shoul is a chip on the motherboard.

  If after installation of Windows 8, it should detect the key of the product itself.

  You need only install the new hard drive in your system and install windows 8.

• Recovering data from hard drives of laptop data

  1. laptop computer work with a hard drive to work (I know that this is the case if you insert the disc of the laptop, it works, it loads windows xp, you can use the laptop according to the normal without errors / problems etc.)

  We have a disk external drive kit (again I know works as I use to connect to a multitude of other hard drives via the USB port of a desktop PC) and I have another kit to different hard drive for the first USB SATA hard drive recovery kit and it does the same thing when you try to access the data on the hard drive for laptops

  If I connect the laptop hard drive to my desktop PC it won't appear in my computer even if you right-click my computer--> manage--> disk management

  The drive appears here as not initialized and will fail if you try to initialize the disk indicating there CRC errors and it will not assign a drive letter.

  Is there a quick way to access the data on the disk?

  As much as I know readers are not encrypted as when loading after the bios POST, you get not all blue / violet loading gauges, this is Windows XP SP 3 so do not use bit locker or something like that.

  What should I do to get access to data as quickly as possible without making too many steps or waiting for utils recovering data, etc..

  Also, what do Lenovo for the drives causing headaches as much?

  Am confused with your part external kits...

  In any case, I assume you have a computer laptop lenovo work and office work. You try to connect lenovo's HARD drive in a USB drive kit and extract data from the desktop.

  (1) is the disc encrpted HARD lenovo? Check the Bios and also if lenovo security software are installed.

  (2) the fastest way I'm doing it today is to connect laptops and office to a network. Share the disk, and then extract the data from the laptop or desktop. A second option is remote laptop and retrieves the data.

  (3) another possibility is that your laptop is XP, IE the formatting isn't AHCI (check the bios under sata), it is in compatibility mode. The Office use Vista or Windows 7?

• Lenovo B50-50 does not recognize my external hard drive

  I recently bought a laptop Lenovo B50-50 and it does not recognize my external hard drive. It's a WD elements with USB 3.0 storage device. I tried a few of the fixes recommended on other forums, but none of them work. The hard drive comes up is the list in Device Manager, and all my usb drivers are up to date. The hard drive works perfectly on other devices. Other work of readers of fine nib. Normally when the hard drive connected to the aa one device in flashing lights. This does not happen when I connect it to my laptop.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Make sure you use your laptop, 3 USB ports, not then a USB 2 port to see if one will work. If it does not power up to contact Western Digital for support.

  Good luck.

• Lenovo G580 - menu to start cannot find CD/DVD, HARD drive

  Hello everyone

  I have a little trouble with this laptop lenovo G580, which cannot start.

  Problem: HARD and CD/DVD drive is visible in the tap in the bios info, but they are not visible in the faucet of the boot, only an IP4 and IP6 EFI network are visible.

  I tried to change the HARD disk first to ensure if she would do anything, but did not work, so I spent back.

  But I've never seen this kind of problem before, so I really have no idea what to do.

  The version of the bios installed is V9.01 I hope that if someone has an idea that could help solve this problem.

  -Mootix-

  It seems ok I solved my problem, I will report how and what I have done, so anyone with the same problem can try this.

  OK, so apparently the Bios have been installing only the boot devices to reqister who had something to do with Windows 8, which means that the hard drive that was completely empty of any data, had nothing to do with Windows 8 and therefor can not be started with the current Bios settings.

  1. open the safety valve and turn off temp only "secure startup.

  2. go to the tap of Boot and change 'Boot mode' for Legacy Support UEFI.

  3. in the tap water Boot changes 'Boot prio' "first Legacy.

  4 reboot and press F2 and verify tap boot to the disk under "Boot device prio.

  Fact

  I think that since the drive HARD have Win8 installed it will not display as boot device unless it is on Legacy Support.

  because UEFI on the G580 only supports the HARD disk with a Win8 installed operating system.

  Now, I should be able to reinstall Win 8 - 8.1 on the HARD drive.

• Hard drive Lenovo

  My Lenovo W500 has been pre-installed with Windows XP, but I decided that I wanted to try Vista 64 Ultimate, before I made the choice to see what OS I was going to use. I used a 5200 Hitachi 160 GB spinning hard drive to install Vista 64, so I wouldn't overwrite the original hard drive comes with the PC. I decided I like the 64 so I'll put up on the original with the 7200 spin hard drive, but wanted to know what things I need to save before making the switch. I have grapped most of the dirs APP from the reader and makes the recovery DVDs. Is there anything else I need to do before I blow the drive?

  you say theat you did the recovery and backep dvd data go ahead and install vista... but make sure that your system gets all the required 64-bit drivers

• Lenovo x 240 HARD drive upgrade to SSD

  Hi all

  Need some advice. I recently bought a Lenovo x 240 1 TB HDD + 16 GB mSATA. I did some research and found that the 1 TB is a 5400 RPM one. I find that the Setup is a bit disappointing. When I up my laptop when watching videos, even gently, I noticed that the video crashes, stops or is interrupted then I think to replace the HDD with a SSD.

  A couple of questions, please.

  1. any suggestions for the SSD? who is compatible, what isn't? I understand that one SATA3?

  2. If I replace the HARD drive, I'll be able to restore everything? How can I migrate my Windows for the new SSD 8.1?

  Any suggestion is appreciated. I love the 240 x, if I could just improve performance a bit, so it'll be perfect.

  Thanks in advance guys / Lenovo team.

  It is useful in case you drop your laptop; It reduces the risk of the hard disk is damaged. Don't know about the details, but its power consumption is expected to be negligible.

  Although the tool he recommends is certainly not the only tool capable of doing the job.

• ThinkPad R60 cannot install Windows XP After erasing the HARD drive using the lenovo diagnostic utility

  WinXP pro Setup cannot find that any installed HARD disk so cannot install windows. Unfortunately after many attempts to use rescue and recovery to restore the factory settings and for some reason constantly default... After leaving another utility popped up giving me the opportunity to erase the HARD drive and so I did... After fact as well and all I had was a blank screen, no windows more or no matter what utility to reinstall windows, then I used my winxp pro installation CD, but the program installation would continue not after a certain point by saying that the installation did not find any HARD disk installed. followed by "ensure that any disk HARD r turned on and correctly connected, and that no matter what material associated drive configured correctly, this may involve running a manufacturer provided diagnostic or Setup program. Clearly it took me by surprise. What was supposed to be a cut to white erase and reinstall now me baffled and angry. Formats the HDD of the solution? If so why didn't not the usefulness of lenovo do... If not, what is the problem? Someone help pls

  Go into the BIOS (F1 at startup), set the "compatible" SATA mode (NO AHCI), then press F10 to save and exit, and you should be all set.

  Good luck.

• Maximum hard drive size in the Lenovo 3000 N100

  I have Lenovo 3000 N100

  It came with 100 GB hard drive 5400 RPM

  What is the maximum hard disk that can be used. Is it possible to only 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM?

  Thanks for the answer

  Abraham

  No, I'm this based on the Avenue of the planets. Kidding.

  I base this experience with laptops cheaper and lower quality supporting better hard disks, processor, etc. etc.

  Also the fact that some N100 configurations included a 250 GB SATA 5400 RPM hard drive. No reason why will not work a 7200 RPM drive.

  We invite you to seek advice elsewhere.

• Using another hard drive to brand in lenovo

  I own a Lenovo Thinkpad R61(8920-B6U) and think to increase storage capacity. It came with 160GB and I'll bring to 250 or 320 GB. In this regard, I have two questions:

  (1) my laptop will support a 320 GB hard drive?

  (2) can I use a hard drive other than lenovo in my notebook?  For example, I was thinking about buying a mobile hard disk WD Scorpio Black.

  Pending a positive and quick feedback!

  Welcome to the forum!

  The answers to your questions are Yes and Yes.

  FYI, Lenovo doesn't make its own hard disks but installs those manufactured by Hitachi, Fujitsu, etc. from Seagate.

  I hope this helps.
