Totally to the U410 - the default factory reset format?

Thing, is that I bought this IdeaPad U410 about two months and less than a month has just decided to format and install Ubuntu, because I didn't like Windows 8. But, as I should be, since that day my life has become a hell of bugs and incompatibility issues. I just could not afford it and decided to returned to the Microsoft Team.

I had all my Lenovo and WinRecovery partitions intact. Then, I tried these always

-Use the key to recovery, to restart the plant; somehow, his right boot Ubuntu.

-Use my flash driver with the system recovery of Windows 8, but he says it's "impossible to reset your PC. A partition of required driver is missing. "

In a desperate approach I followed a few steps to eightforums and by using diskpart I completely erased my HD (after make a backup of the Lenovo and WinRecovery partitions) - and... It did not work. Now, I am lying here with a computer without operating system or data.

Yes, I'm a genius. Have I not hope to solve it (recovery of factory default) or better start to use the laptop as the most expensive paper weight ever?

Hello

Well, before you do that I realized that I had nothing to lose and wipe all my hard drivers (the SSD and HARD drive) using the command prompt of Windows 8 recovery system via USB. I still couldn't install W8, but later I tryied Ubuntu 12.10 and now it has worked flawlessly.

I do not recommend this because I don't know if in the future this can be a real headache for me, but now, it is perfect and, in addition to the installation of the graphics card, I have no problem.

In any case, thanks Pascal, I'll keep your suggestion and if necessary I'll contact lenovo support.

  • Update Windows to the default factory System Image

    I have a Dell Inspiron N5030 with Windows 7 x 64.

    Hypothetically, if I were to use my Dell restore utility (apparently located on another partition of the disc) to reset the computer and start Windows 7 from scratch back, I want to know honestly how many hours should I anticipate spending on updating Windows alone? I've been around for all the problems with Windows Update, stuck in the past, but also the fix that was recently introduced. So I recognize that it will take some time to update all the way from the factory to the current image. When you go about it, I should just install updates that Windows Update tells me where y at - it a shortcut or trick I should know about an update which could function as a rollup or something?

  • How can I change the default "Letter" paper format to "A4 «on a P1006 (Windows 7)»»

    I just be reformatted my computer (Windows 7 Professional - 64-bit) and then reinstalled my HP Laserjet P1006 (download the driver from the HP website)

    Even if I changed the settings EVERYWHERE in A4 format - including measures to display millimetres - and even if all parameters indicate that the format has been modified correctly, printed documents still come out as if printed on letter-size.

    The only place in the printer settings and preferences that I can find where it says even the letter notes from the 'Général' tab (right click on the default printer > "Printer properties") where he under the heading 'Book' says 'letter '.  And... I don't know where and how change this setting.

    However on my second printer of the same model that I use another computer, the settings show also letter in this place, and this computer can - despite this - still print in A4 format... so maybe it's not the problem.

    Can someone please help!

    Hi Gemini02!

    Thanks for trying to help, but don't the is not addressed.

    And in fact, I discovered how to solve the problem already:

    (1) open Word Doc aq + go to...  FILE > Options > Advance > printing

    "(2) uncheck the following question:"Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11"paper size" + OK

    I know it makes no sense, but it works.

  • OfficeJet 4610 - default factory reset - change the language from Chinese to English.

    Hello

    Please be kind - I am a dead set on this HP forum newbie.

    Have an OfficeJet 4610. While the implementation, accidentally selected Chinese (foolishly).

    There is no question 'Do you really do this?', and if the printer is then configured in Chinese.

    Now I'm wanting to change it to English. Easy? Not so so.

    He spent more than two hours solid Googling for 4610 or 4620 with each change the language in English or do a reset on the printer. So far, nothing--other than a single page on the site HP 4610, who says to select option 5, maintenance, option 2 then select the language of your choice. That's fine, but my options are 8 languages still in Chinese... And I can't read Chinese. What are the characters of 'ENGLISH' in Chinese?

    Also found another thread on reset the 4620 in these forums, but everyone wants to do private messages.

    Download the guide of the user - all 288 something pages specify not at all on what happens if this scenario occurs.

    -This is, is that 8 list items is 'English' to the option 'change language'?, or, how to do a reset on the 4610, so I can start this brand new as if I were pulling out of the box.

    Thanks in advance for any information.

    / Dave.

    Hello

    Thanks heaps for the answer.

    Many apologies for my rants. I should not have written that. (If I can I might change it)

    Just pure frustration.

    In any case, it turns out that the manual and the other thread of HP is correct in the menu structure. Which caused more frustration.

    Told to go to the menu menu 2 then 5.

    It turns out that it's 4 menu then menu 2.

    Thank you.

  • WRT54G Router must be the default factory restore to work

    Hello

    I have a router WRT54G 3 version it works fine but suddenly stops working. When this happens, I don't have access to the internet or on the pc connected directly to the router or the wireless-connected devices

    I tried to powercycle the moden router and releasing and renewing DHCP and it does not work yet.

    The solution I found is to restore default settings and reconfigure all the settings wireless again.

    If someone knows why this happens, if there is a better solution would be great.

    Thanks to all in advance

    Might be time for a new router. Ive had a couple of neighbors with these old routers and they seem to be 'exhausted '. Firmware flashing does not seem to help and not sure it's even now available since its so old. If you go with another, not to buy. If you do not need to be able to load 3 party firmware so don't spend a fortune for one who is capable of it. If this wrt54g was enough then look who has tapes times 2.4 and 5 ghz, but in price about $50 dollars range should be good. Good luck

  • Re-create the default factory system image...

    Hello

    My company has HP computer we get from our suppliers. It is labelled "Windows 7"on the box." PC currently has Windows XP operating system. We believe that the seller bought this computer under Win 7 and then he downgraded to XP in order to put their application.

    Now, we no longer need to XP and want to have Windows 7.

    I guess that this PC may affect Windows 7 hidden partition somewhere and I would restore this image.

    My question: How can I find this partition and replace the current XP with Windows 7?

    Thank you

    None of these disks you have are bootable.

    Only the first (disc 1 of 3) or bootable, and then you insert the other disks when you are prompted to do so.

    To boot from a disk, you press the F9 key (or the escape key if it is a newer model) at the beginning of the HP welcome screen.

    Then, you select the DVD drive in the menu and press the Enter key.

    But that won't work with any of the disks you have are not bootable.

  • Return to the default (factory) setting for a zip (compressed) file

    Involuntarily, I changed the setting to opening a compressed folder (zip), and now all of my compressed folders display the logo of the program windows Word. I'm trying to undo that and not any program used to open a compressed file. I want to have all other files compressed in the computer returns to its initial position, too, as they have all changed. Any help, I can't get there. I went in the extensions folder and found the zip extension and it shows that the Word window will open all zip files. The only choices that I seem to have is nothing that I want, I am not having any specific program open a zip file. Thank you

    1. I tried 2 difrent console cables

    2 - I tried 2 difrent computers

    How can I resolve this more? What should I do in this case?

    Can you telnet to it? You can access the web GUI? If you can access the switch in a different way, you can reset to the factory settings by deleting the configuration of start and reloading. For the console, you need a null modem or crossover RS-232 cable.
