T400 Recovery DVD vs T500 recovery DVD

I bought Lenovo recovery DVD and received those with T400 part number and wanted to make sure that they would work with the T500 I. The operating system is going well, but my main concern was with the drivers and the software, if there is no difference between the two computers.

The main difference between the T400 and T500 (considering that they have two GPUS) is the GPU, but they have a generic ati catalyst driver, so the driver would load the file corresponding to the GPU... displayport needs via video drivers, so even if T400 is not on the physical system, she would still have the drivers for it.

But you can call Lenovo to clarify the situation. Of many Thinkpad recovery media can be used in systems configured the same.

  • T400 seeing DVD always on disk

    Is it normal the green light next to the DVD player to be on permanently?

    Yes it is, that is to say that there is a 'live' drive in the Bay. If you clear the use safely remove hardware, the light turns off. When you remove the disc and the crack on again, the light goes on.

    Hi, someone can describe the main differences between these 2 lenovo GST. I choose between these two. Any advice would be beneficial. Kenneth

    The t400 you watch is CCFL and the T500 is LED backlite, I noticed the LED screens are a little more usable and need to improve your battery a little.

    2 additional questions:

    1 read the info product how can I determine who has the ccfl compared to the led... I tried but have not found.

    2. I also have a t400 6474-wnp is similar to 2765 - 32 g?

  • SSD and RAM

    T500 is compatible with disk SSD SATA-300? Finally, it is necessary with an uppgrade of BIOS or other driver software uppgrade?

    This site http://www.thinkpadtoday.com/lenovo-thinkpad-t400-%E2%80%93-t500-a-quick-review.htm says up to 8 GB of RAM is compatible with the T500. Is this true?

  • Cannot open attachments in Outlook Express since I use recovery DVDs

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite on Windows xp. I had to run the dvd - rom product recovery he was really play it put out of service and all sorts of self is sorted now and is back to normal running.
    The only problem is now, when I try and open an attachment in my email, it says this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.

    Please can any one help I have sat here for hours and still not find a solution.

    Hello

    Well, after using the recovery CD all programs and other tools that you have installed on the portable computer have been removed.
    I guess you want to open a file of attachments in particular.
    In this case, you will need to choose a new application to open files.
    The easiest way is to right click on the file and choose open with. You can then choose the program which should open the file attachment.
    For example: txt file > editor or Notepad

  • Satellite A100-999: the process of recovery (without recovery DVD/CD)?

    Hi all

    Here is my GOAL: I want to reinstall the original Windows Vista as it was when we bought this laptop.

    My PROBLEM: we never managed to create recovery DVDs (just after the purchase), always gave an error... today and to my surprise, I can't find any operating system recovery tool is...

    1. to the power of power off: I tried the button "0" (as read on the internet), but did nothing special...

    2 - I tried then in the options menu (after F8 on reboot): FIX YOUR COMPUTER
    Then (after choosing the Spanish language and the connection as a user), I tried to launch the WINDOWS RESTORE COMPLETE lo, but he said that no CD/DVD... (no current number with this = CD/DVD drive works fine)

    3 - I then tried another interesting option: RECOVERY HHD (more or less like this, as I have in Spanish version)... Just a pop-up open (maybe on the DVD recovery) but without any touch of the process...

    More complicated now, isn't?

    4 INFO:
    I could find the hidden partition and display it. It contains files and folders: a record 'source', 'boot.sdi"if I remember correctly... and maybe more...
    => I copied on a USB key and registered on a new DVD (and the image.iso of them as well) and repeat points 2 and 3 above, but nothing has changed... (the content of this DVD is read without problem on another laptop)

    => QUESTIONS:
    -This folder and files (found in the hidden partition) means that the recovery is still here?
    -Are there a special file.exe or the procedure to follow in order to be able to launch these files found?
    (my ultimate last chance: order than the recovery CD of Toshiba, if it is still possible)

    Thanks in advance
    S.

    > I understand now that these files (hidden partition) are those used for the display of this special menu (after you click REPAIR MY COMPUTER) with the COMPLETE WINDOWS RESTORE, RECOVERY HHD...

    > Is that correct?

    No, the small hidden partition is created by the Windows system, and these aren't the recovery disc files.
    Toshiba Recovery disk files are placed (in general) on the D partition, it is not hidden.

    > So I guess I should have a COLLECTION case somewhere... but I read in some messages of this type of comment: 'the series A100 not fitted the HARD drive recovery partition ".

    That could be just because the A100 is old series and drive HARD recovery was not available at the moment
    As far as I know the series A200 and new series were equipped with recovery option.

    > If not available, I'm already so on this last-chance-step explained above? This means to order the DVD of recovery on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    Here is the link to the page where you can order a recovery for the EU Toshiba notebook disk series but I don't very well if you'll be able to order this disc don't due to the age of the laptop of m.

  • Re: Satellite C650D-12J refuses to boot from the recovery DVD

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C650D-12J which has recently been ravaged by a virus and now refuses to start. Whenever he tries to boot into Windows, it restarts and blue screens.

    I ordered the Toshiba recovery media as the most simple solution is to recover the laptop and restore the default settings.

    However, when I insert the recovery DVD and choose to boot from the CD/DVD get them all is a loading bar that turns to a black screen with the white cursor. It's her!

    Can anyone suggest a solution?

    Kind regards

  • NB500: How to use the DVD of recovery without a DVD player in the netbook?

    Background:

    I have a 500 NB of Netbook that came with a Win7 Starter. I've upgraded to Win8 but doesn't like the wsn can't resolution screen high enough to open applications. The system became slower and slower like time, I decided to reset the device back to the original settings by using the Win8 function.

    Progress in this process has been extremely slow and after seven hours (60% in fact) I had a scare that the content of my HARD disk can be copied somewhere on the web (cloud of NSA?  :)).

    I turned off the unit and then nothing would no longer work. I bought the recovery software with WIN7 Starter of Toshiba Support that I couldn't find an ISO for WIN7 starter file, but it happened on a DVD...

    I have:
    + NB 500
    + Toshiba Recovery DVD
    + Bootable USB stick (I created this)
    + Product key for Win7 Starter

    Question:
    What files are required to install Win7 from scratch (move files from DVD to the USB bootable)?
    This procedure deletes old data from the HARD drive or will it take space?

    Concerning
    LS1 - d

    It is not just that you think it is. As much as I know, you can't manipulate the data of recovery and work on your own boot media.

    A better and easier way for you is to get somewhere external USB ODD and use for installation of recovery image. I NB520 and I bought external BD ODD and can use it for various actions such as the installation of the software for example.

    I m wondering really you didn't create recovery USB drive. That was my first step after I bought this machine. Product key you have on the Microsoft sticker doesn't help. You can't use it for OS installation if you are using the version of the OS clean and you don t need it if you use original recovery image.
    After the installation of recovery image pre-installed Windows version is correctly activated.
    > Will this procedure remove old data from the HARD drive or will it take space?
    Yes. The whole HARD disc will be deleted so until you start with the installation of backup recovery image all your important data.

  • Where can I buy a Windows 7 recovery DVD?

    Although I made an image of the Win7 DVD system before my HD crashed completely, but after the installation of the new HD I get error message: PXE - E61: media test failure and "no image file cannot be found on this PC.

    If my image is corrupt, where can I buy a good image file.

    Sincerely, Koller.

    Original recovery DVD you can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    Anyway, if you have created a recovery DVD, you can use it for recovery image installation.
    Your new HARD drive is correctly recognized and listed in the BIOS?

    By the way: what model of laptop do you have?
