Partitioning Z510

Hi, I bought z510 I want to score with the built-in operating system, please help me to do so.

Hi sarra

On your Z 510, you can see a single partition named OS(C and a Lenovo (D) Windows8.) When you open my computer.

The D: drive is packed with Win 8 drivers and applications required for your Ideapad.

To create partitions on your hard drive rather than use a single partition, you can go through the following steps

1. right click on my computer and click on 'manage '.

2. click on 'Disk management' tab of storage on the left side of the screen

You can see all of the discs attached with your Ideapad

3. right click on the C: drive and click "Reduce Volume". then it will show the maximum size that can be shrunk in MB.

You can go for the specified maximum size (I made like this so that we will get a maximum size for the other partitions too.)

4. click on "shrink" to complete the action.

5. now you can see the unpartitioned space near C: drive

6. now right-click on this 'unpartitioned space' and select the option "Create partition.

7. Select the size required for partition so that you can create as many partitions as you wish.

  • Starting a DVD on the new FreeDOS Z510 (to install Windows 7)

    OK, I spent the first 6 hours with my new Z510 and exit BIOS and on several forums and how-to sites!

    I have a Z510 (model 20287 on the back, 59400165 shop, Core i5 - 4200M) which only comes with the FreeDOS operating system (not decommissioning of Win8!)

    I would like to install Windows 7 64 bit family.

    But I can't seem to boot from the DVD! "EFI DVD/CDROM (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GU90N) has been blocked by the current security policy" is the main problem I guess.

    Here are "screenshots" of something, that I tried after a lot of reading (it should be in Legacy Support for the boot for Win7 Mode, Boot priority set to UEFI first - maybe because my DVD drive is listed under EFI and OS Optimized Defaults should be set on other OS):

    https://drive.Google.com/folderview?ID=0B0N33N4o6EiualhyN3dvbW54d0U&USP=sharing

    Of course, in the separate Start Menu (on this Z510, the order does not appear with the rest of the BIOS) I put the DVD player at the top too. (It's in the screenshot above too)

    Given that it did not work, I went on Boot Mode UEFI and after the 'EFI DVD/CDROM (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GU90N) has been blocked by the current security policy' normal message, another 2 entered... see these screenshots:

    https://drive.Google.com/folderview?ID=0B0N33N4o6EiuUUVtV0FHOURfbG8&USP=sharing

    Even if I don't had not really changed anything physically, I really worried after given that this action was somehow made my material under Legacy disappear!

    https://drive.Google.com/file/d/0B0N33N4o6EiudHhxNWxkMzhDUVE/edit?USP=sharing

    But somehow, after next time turn on the PC, the Windows installation disc starts! HOWEVER, the following problem:

    https://drive.Google.com/file/d/0B0N33N4o6EiuSUJXZ2s5bEFDcXc/edit?USP=sharing

    And the ability to format is also grayed out.

    If the ASSISTANCE requested:

    How should I complete the installation from here?

    I don't know anything about the EFI, MBR or GPT on... Is there something wrong here?

    I was counting on the partitioning to the point I had until: 100 GB for drive C to install Windows on and the rest for the D drive and storage... Can I get rid of the Partition system 1 while doing this?

    I hope that the photos are a help and not a hindrance. I thought them better than my wordy explanations.

    Thank you both for your input.

    So first I tried what LenBlazer recommended: while The Startup Mode is set to UEFI, I made sure the Secure Boot has been disabled. Saved, went back to back in Boot Mode to legacy and Boot Priority UEFI first (as in the first batch of screenshots as you said), but it won't let me boot from the DVD. (Of course I put it to boot from the DVD in the Boot Menu for others too.) In addition, no Secure Boot option can be seen more, under these new settings.

    Then I tried what lknaidu said. So Boot Priority for the first legacy now. But the problem is with your last step,

    "prioritize the optical drive which is not referred to as EFI (the one that doesn't have a prefix of EFI).

    Optical drive only it lists is one with an EFI prefix:

    https://drive.Google.com/file/d/0B0N33N4o6EiuM3AzaFN3ay1ieDQ/edit?USP=sharing

    HOWEVER, this allows me to boot from the DVD, but I still have the problem with MBR / EFI / GPT partitioning of the installation stage.

    Speaking of which, I looked at your link, and I see that there are benefits to a GPT system. Do you recommend also this? The link said to ensure that the chipset is UEFI v2.0 + compliant; I tried without success - it is an Intel Chipset HM86 processor.

    In any case, always the same basic problem. Any other ideas? Thank you

    As stated previously, you must disable secure boot and must confirm that it is really off before changing the settings as shown in the first link. There is a problem with the bios and it is: well secure boot is disabled status shows not disabled but active (see your photo in one of the other link).

    Here's how I did it recently.

  • How to install W8 in Mode for Lenovo Ideapad Z510 UEFI?

    Hello world

    I've been struggling with the w8 installation on my laptop Ideapad z510 in UEFI mode, but not I could succeed it or me I found something that might help. I will explain clearly the case.

    Point 1:
    As I understand it, for successful installation in UEFI format w8, we need choose the mode of 'First UEFI"from the Boot Menu in the BIOS. Then, the source of the shoe must be specified to identify the rigid path to documents to be loaded so that the new OS could be installed correctly.

    Pharmacodependance1:
    It is possible to choose UEFI boot mode first, but it is not possible to choose the USB for UEFI boot path in this case, which does not allow to succeed a UEFI boot to your computer. You cannot reach the DVD or USB, the installation files are, and start the installation process.

    Point2:

    If we consider the first case, you must choose the Legacy Support of your computer startup mode and achieve the USB or DVD drive to install the new operating system on the computer.

    Problem2:
    To succeed the UEFI mode when the computer starts, you should see 4 different partitions on your drive to the point of disc selection, if you choose the disk you install your operating system. However, when you select the Legacy Support in BIOS mode, the disk partition is limited to 2 in my case, that are:

    • Main drive
    • Reserved system (350 MB)

    That is why, when I continue the installation, the OS is installed on the traditional way. After installation, when I go into the BIOS to choose the UEFI boot mode for mode, the laptop checks some network connections and said

    • EFI network failure 0 for IPv4
    • EFI network failure 0 for IPv6

    respectively.

    So, advice, aid, ideas and suggestions are gladly welcome to overcome this problem. Could you please help me?

    PS: Please don't say that "you can't install because your computer does not support", because I have received computer technical service and a W8 version has been installed in UEFI mode. However, I deleted to install W8 pro.

    Greetings,

    Okan

    First of all, your bootable USB key must be created in the UEFI. Just google and you will find solutions.

    You can install W8 mode UEFI. Just allow to boot from USB in BIOS, select Exit Saving changes and restart.

    I think it's your basic problem. Let me know if you have already done this and still having the problem.

  • I resized the Partition Mac to make more space for BootCamp and now Windows will not boot

  • Bootcamp Windows - partition cannot be mounted

    Hey all,.

    I've been using Windows on my iMac (late 2012, Yosemite 10.10.5) without problem but today after I started MacOS Yosemite (to control simple file), cannot start again to return to Windows. Had no problem Bootcamp before... have not used to any advantage either 3rd disk utility. The only thing I have recently increased the Windows size 200 GB partition by decreasing the MacOS partition through disk utility (a month ago, no problem since then until today)

    1. Windows has disappeared from the startup disk

    2. disk utility shows disk0s4 gray and cannot be mounted. In addition, the correct partition size was 700 but here its listed as 500 GB GB (which was the old size before you increase it)

    3 when I try to restart with pressed ALT, Windows, but cannot restart, with a black screen showing "a disk error occurred.

    I'm not very familiar with techniques more. Only, I tried to install "Find" but cannot achieve anything with it.

    I tried your advice above and seems THAT NTFS is there...

    one last thing... when I try to check disk0s4, said "it should be repaired. When I hit repair; It says this:

    Need my Windows as soon as POSSIBLE, what more should I do?

    I don't have not upgraded to Sierra again. That I should? Or it will be even worse?

    I have tons of files on Windows that I need and unfortunately not supported for a while anywhere (sorry about that now).

    Help, please...

    stuff more to indicate...

    and I know if it's significant but cmd + s & ' fsck - fy "has not done anything other than check the Mac partition.

  • Bootcamp partition no longer works

    I decided one day that I tried to install Ubuntu on my Macbook.  At the point where I had an OSX and a partition, Bootcamp for Windows 10.  I followed the instructions to install rEFInd to install Ubuntu, but had trouble with her and decided to uninstall.  I made a mistake when uninstalling and may have accidentally deleted a small partition that I thought was part of the Ubuntu installation.

    Now, when I try to boot into Windows, I get an error that tells me to use a recovery disk:

    Error recovery:

    0xc000000e

    I created a Windows 10 bootable USB installation to try to repair the installation, I ran the diagnostic startup a few times, but not yet able to boot into Windows.

    Now, Boot Camp disk no longer display when I run startup disk.  He always shows up when I hold the Alt key when turning on/off, I just always get error 0xc000000e.

  • We can establish a common partition for Mac OS and Windows Boot Camp

    I'm new to Mac, so please excuse my ignorance.

    I have a MacBookPro 11 mid-2015 with 512 GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM.

    I have Mac OS X El Capitan and that you have installed 10 Windows using the Boot Camp utility on a 150 GB partition. I wanted a common partition on exFAT which could serve as a repository for my data either of the OS. My intention - 150 GB for Mac OS - 200 GB of data - 150 GB for Windows 10. How can this be achieved?

    Earlier, after the Boot Camp, I reduced the Mac OS to 350 GB partition to 150 GB and released 200 GB. Formatting this turned me expensive because it stopped my Windows to start. Repair it was a waste of time and effort. I draw the hard Windows on a Mac is sensitive to changes in the partition.

    In addition, is using Virtual Box better than Boot Camp? I don't have as much virtualized environments.

    Please advice.

    You can connect an external drive of ExFat formatted. The OSX and Windows can read/write on a disk formatted ExFat.

    A virtual machine has its advantages, as does a Boot Camp facility. A virtual machine allows the simultaneous OS, any necessary initialization to change operating systems. Data can be shared between operating systems more easily. Computer such as memory resources are shared in a VM for applications environment to run slower.

    Installation of Boot Camp allows Windows to run in native mode by using all of the system resources, so apps will go faster. But to change operating systems, a reboot is required. It is more difficult to share data.

  • partition boot camp disappeared after resizing Macintosh HD

    Hello

    I have a macbook pro with OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

    I had a windows 8.1 installed on boot camp and ran out of space on windows, so I tried to extend the space by adding a new partition on mac and then merge on windows using the "minitool' but when I rebooted with now that the ALT key was not the boot camp partition...

    I then started the mac and changed the boot disk in boot camp and restarted and it gave me a message "there is no disk bootable..." or something like that.

    It's really important not to lose the windows and more important still do not have to format the new laptop please (because I had a similar problem before Re: Partitioning a Hard Drive Error on MacBook Pro)

    I tried to check for similar discussions but seemed to I'll do it is harder to resolve because I do not understand most of what is said and was afraid to do worse.

    Hello MayMedhat,

    I understand the partition Boot Camp have been adjusted and you are no longer able to access the windows on your MacBook Pro.  Because you cannot access side Windows of your Mac after setting, you must recreate your Boot Camp partition and reinstall Windows on your Mac.

    Set up Windows on your Mac partition

    Change the size of the partition

    It is not possible to change the size of the partition after installing Windows, but you can delete the partition and create a new partition to the correct size. Do not try to resize your Windows partition or a third-party application.

  • Impossible to install 10 Windows on Bootcamp partition

    #1

    Hello! I just tried to install Windows 10 on my Macbook with a 32 GB USB using Bootcamp. Everything was fine until I came to the part where I have to choose the partition where I want to install my Windows 10 and of course I chose the Bootcamp partition, but in fact I couldn't click on 'next' (I was so stupid and don't format it).
    So I just format the Bootcamp partition and when I tried to click 'next' he just told me 'we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. I went through google and searched all regarding this problem and there are a lot of guys having almost the same or exactly the same 'error' when trying to install 10 Windows on the Bootcamp partition, but nothing has really helped me. I deleted everything except my USB key and someone told me that I should only have 4 partitions or less.
    He shows me the 4 partition but there are two partitions (3) and two partition (1).
    Is this a problem?

  • Best way to make my SSD works again with a single partition

    There are 2.5 years, I replaced the original on my computer with a SSD hard drive. Months after I installed the beta version of Yosemite, the latest operating system for Mac at the time. To do this, the system created a partition on my drive, in which he has installed the beta version of Yosemite.

    I have today on the same partition, I installed Yosemite, Sierra macOS running. In the other, I have all files, so I want to eliminate. However, when I try to do this by using the disk on my Mac utility, it is not possible; I get a message that says I can't delete the first volume of the disc. When I try to increase the size of the partition on which macOS Sierra operates, so reduced the size of the other, the system won't let me.

    I would like to know what is the best way to make my SSD works with only one partition.

    You cannot delete the last partition that was created, that not 1.

    You can clone the content from the 2nd to the 1st, then you can remove the 2nd.
