• Boot from the optical drive on a Lenovo H430

  I try to start on a DVD of Win7, but I am unable to set the boot priority to any type of optical drive in the BIOS. The BIOS boot devices menu is the same. I know that I can use the USB tool, but also, it does not work. Y at - it a patch of Lenovo BIOS that I can ask, or another solution to be able to boot to the optical drive?

  In fact, I realized myself. There was an option in the output menu that allowed for it. Thank you for your help.

• Need help finding a compatible optical drive for lenovo b50-80

  I ordered recently the b50-80 of lenovo laptop for my mother and I thought wrongly that it came with an optical drive. I tried searching online to see who can be compatible with it. But, I don't have a lot of experience actually shopping for one. The seller has recommended a couple, but I was also wondering if one of my old laptop drives would fit maybe? Focusing on internal versus external. All advice is appreciated!

  Hello.

  Welcome to the forums.

  If you want an external optical drive (CD/DVD/Bluray player) I'm pretty sure that any USB key will be compatible with your computer and Windows 7.

  I also checked onthe support for this model siteand searched the Manual of Maintenance to find an internal version of the DVD. I'm not complete of course know if, but if you check page 71 the #12 part seems to be the internal CD/DVD. It seems that FRU 25215832 is compatible with the B50-80. You should ask the price of this part (FRU) number and please confirm that this is the guy you want.

  And read the Maintenance Manual page #34 if you plan to install it yourself. Otherwise, you can always hire your local Service Center of Lenovo to get the part and install it for you.

  Thanks in advance!

  For clean installation try to download Microsoft Media creation tool first. Using the tool, you can download a copy of the Win 8.1 installer. Save 8.1 only and not the PRO. During installation, the installation program does not the product key but it detect automatically your bios.

  You will need to place the ssd instead of the original location of the hard drive to boot successfully.

• Fixed R40e and R50e optical drive?

  Hi all

  I plan to buy a used Thinkpad, or a R40e a R50e. The R40e comes with a drive to DVD - ROM and the R50e with a CD-ROM drive. I'm leaning toward the R50e, because it is better in all aspects, except that it cannot read the DVD. I thought that I could replace the CD-ROM drive later with a drive combo or something, but then I looked around, a little on the web and got a little confused.

  I read that "some options are not compatible with ThinkPad R50e systems because the Ultrabay drive is fixed." I also read the same thing about the R40e, but not on the Lenovo Web site. At the same time, I saw that Lenovo had some videos on how to remove and install the optical drives in the R40e and the R50e.

  Then it is replaceable or not? A I misunderstood something? The Ultrabay drive is not the same as the CD/DVD drive?

  If someone could explain that to me, I would be grateful.

  See you soon,.

  Hi Laszlo,

  Yes, it's just a matter of withdrawal of the first keyboard to replace the optical drive in models of 'e' as R40e,ee/R51 R50. Here are some links for you and others who can be read:

• M73 10B 6 will not start no optical drive

  He bought about two weeks ago, preloaded with Win 10 Pro. It starts from a USB optical drive. I tested the DVD bootable on other computers and these other computers boot from them. I can browse the contents of the bootable disks in Explorer on my M73. I have the latest version of the BIOS.

  Of course, I checked the BIOS configuration and the drive is listed in the order of boot sequence. But when I press F12 and try to boot from the disc, it is not listed in the list of bootable disks I have to choose.

  Lenovo support seems quite distraught about the problem. I was transferred to four different agents without getting this resolved. An incredulous seeemd agent on why I was interested even if he initiated from the optical reader. I finally got them all right send a tech Monday. They have the tech to replace the optical drive, but I doubt if that is the problem. I think it's a bug in the BIOS or there is a problem with the motherboard, but Lenovo support seems too stupid to look at these opportunities

  Sorry for venting but I lost more than two hours on the phone with them yesterday and I'm a busy person. I spent my hard earned money on this computer in good faith and I don't have to go through all that.

  OK, I thought about it. I just had to go into the BIOS Setup and disable the quick start.

• T430 optical drive power management?

  I remember when I first to get unity in its pre-installed state, I have to press on the eject button on the optical drive twice, first to turn it on and secondly to actually eject.

  But now I installed a new Windows 7 x 64. I downloaded the drivers and the power of the Lenovo site management software and installed. Much of the work of things, but doesn't seem that the optical drive is still on, i.e. only pressing the eject button ejects the disc.

  May I know if the power management actually manages the power of optical disc when it is not in use?

  Well, I discovered the cause, I did not install the AHCI driver. After installing, there is an option to automatically turn off the player.

• X 200, I need optical drive.

  Hello guys,.

  I read on website of lenovo Singapore, X 200 (P8400) is not optical drive. but we need, which is optional, or I have to buy separate from the machine?

  Help, please.

  Well, you have two options. You could order the X 200 as well as the ban and order an optical drive with her or get an external drive, which you can connect via the USB port. I would recommend the latter, because it will save you a lot of money, unless you want to get a docking station anyway.

• put the HARD drive in the optical drive stock

  Hi all

  I'm sorry if this is redundant, but I couldn't find the answer to any where or through telephone Support from Lenovo.

  I received the W530 with stock 500 GB HARD drive, but I want to replace it with the Pro of 840 Samsung SSD and put the HARD drive in the optical drive. I just restore the image from HARD disc for my SSD orginal (now in the original HARD drive box).

  At first I thought that I just leave the HARD drive in the original Bay and use the optical drive for the SSD, but since I use the SSD for the OS, and I want to use the DVD player sometimes, I thought I should put the SSD in original HDD bay and the HARD disk in the optical drive.

  I'm sure I've read that a lot of people did it with success, but I do not know much about computers and have never done nothing wise hardwear. I tried to put the HARD drive in the caddy Newmode U.S. optical drive, but it wouldn't fit (the screw on the caddy heads are too big). I think it's because the HARD drive still has the metal casing on it. I am worried, however, that if I remove the caddy, it voids my warranty, and above all, I am wanting to make sure it is the correct and safe way to the stock HARD drive in the optical drive.

  I put the rails HARD original on the SSD drive rubber because it is in which Bay but you have no other rails to the HARD drive in the case of the optical drive, and I don't even think he would fit in.

  So, it's OK to remove the carriage on the stock of HARD drive and put it in the optical drive without any kind of rails or protection (but attach it to the optical drive with the supplied screws caddy)? I think that's what I have to do anyway with the SSd, if she had to go into the optical drive.

  I am also an upgrade of RAM, but the keyboard under the bottom access RAM screw is stripped, so I can't remove the original RAM (it is under keyboard) and use the optimal 0 and DIMM slot installation 1. Any ideas?

  Thanks for your time, and once again, sorry if this is very basic.

  Change hard drives and memory do not void the warranty.

  The DSS must be installed exactly as the original HARD drive was, with rails caddy and rubber.

  The HARD drive in DVD case must be inserted with the 4 screws with the caddy, nothing else.

  To remove the stripped screw, you must use the small (jeweller preference) needle clamp with extreme caution, or slowly drop the screw head to create a new location. The second option is more dangerous because it produces small deposits of metal. If you can't do it yourself, ajeweller could do this easily for you.

  Good luck!

• Problems with my optical drive

  Hello

  I use Win8.1 and I should have all the Thinkvantage software and drivers for this installed device. There was a device I liked that no longer works. The feature that has been when I have use my optical drive, it turned off and I could see a style icon Lenovo saying power off. Whenever I clicked on it, the player backwards.

The first is a standard optical drive and the second is this lenovo one. That no longer works. He says that the disc is turned off even if it's. So... my question is... what drivers should I re - install in what order? Thank you!

• Envy Touchsmart Ultrabook - boot from Usb Flash or optical drive

  I just this envy Touchsmart Ultrabook (14 inches) with 8 win and it works very well, but one thing that I can't make it work is to be able to boot from a USB stick or a cd usb player.  This system doesn't have a built-in optical drive.

  I changed the configuration Bios Boot UEFI for Legacy and also re arranged the boot order so the USB drives are before the internal hard drive.  I also tried to change setting USB 3 auto... still not able to boot from a usb device.

  Both the usb flash drive and cd drive to boot on my HP desktop and I recently tried the usb flash drive on a new laptop Lenovo comes with Win 8 and it worked.

  I need to do so that I could run my backup - Acronis True Image software.

  Any suggestions on what then try?  Thank you.

  Yours is a laptop very different mine - so this may not apply... but you can try what I posted here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/bios/m-p/2260991

• Feature "Automatically turn off the optical drive" deleted in Power Manager 6.61 Update?

  Hello Lenovo Community!

  I'm running a Lenovo W510 4391-A72 Windows 7 Professional (x 86) SP1.

  Recently, (thanks to sclexman for helping me) after the installation of System Update 5.05 and update all my Lenovo software, including Power Manager (6.65.2-> 6.66.1), the ability to 'Automatically power down from optical drive' is no longer available! Is there an explanation as to why this feature was removed?

  If so, is it possible to restore this functionality?

  Thank you

  it_geek.

  Shortly after that I posted about I tried to redo the system update. Wa - la, when you mentioned something about Intel AHCI rapid storage driver I checked to see that when the system update ran the last time he uninstalled the old version but somehow, it didn't update the new version in. System update has since installed version 12.8.10.1005, and the option appears according to normal on Power Manager 6.66.1.

• R61i - replace optical drive

  I'm looking to replace my optical drive makes all kinds of strange noises. I read the manual of the equipment to the Lenovo Web site and notice that it refers to a release mechanism near the player. My laptop does not have this mechanism. Can someone advise me?

  On page 74 of the Hardware manual of Maintenance , they show remove 1 screw from the bottom and with a screwdriver to remove the optical drive. After removing the screws, I bet you can use a paper clip to open the drive and gently pull the tray out the disc without any other disassembly.

• Optical drive for IBM Thinkpad R50e, type 1834.

  Have been looking for a DVD RW for an IBM Thinkpad R50e drive, type 1834. This has proved to be not easy.

  The support page from Lenovo for DVD options for "hard disk, CD-ROM and the options of DVD - ThinkPad R50, R50e, R50p, R51, R51e", located at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-53136, States 'Note: not supported with the ThinkPad R50e systems.» And my model, 1834, is indeed not listed as supported in the "optical drive options.

  Why, when I specify the model and the type I have, so a lot of readers not supported those listed and not supported? I'm not interested in optical drives that does not fit. I would like to know who does.

  I do not have the old original disk so I can't check the number of parties on the matter. So, what number of coins is the DVD RW drive has that fits the IBM Thinkpad R50e, type 1834?
