U160 - fresh WIN7 install

Hello

Ive had good fun with my (i5) 0894 IdeaPad U160, at least until my HARD drive crashed and started making horrible noises. (Partition recovery... Miss me you so bad)

On the HARD drive and went in went an SSD (agility, 64 GB).

Now, I downloaded a Win 7 (32 bit). ISO, unpacked on a USB key using the "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool" and installed. However, it installs Windows 7 is slow.  Miles slower than the Win 7 Home Premium making before. Install WIN 7 took ~ 4 minutes on the SSD, but no action result of windows Explorer in 2 minutes of "not responding". Something within Windows slowdown total. TaskManager shows approximately 2% of the maximum activity all in "not responding". RAM is fine.

Here's what I've tried so far:

Used 4 different Win 7 isos: with S.P.1and without, from different sources. Tried the update of Windows.

Install the drivers for the Chipset and video. Hotfix refuses to install. Not sure if Intel Management Engine installed from each window takes 2 minutes to half an hour to even appear.

Install the new BIOS.

My recovery disc is scratched and will not start. Honestly im rather sick of having to run PC decr.apifier with each new installation, so I prefer a clean install anyway. How the hell can a new Windows + U160 not work? is the only option to buy Lenovo recovery for 30 dollars and decra.pify disc my PC again? Or my PC sent to Lenovo for several weeks? (then decra.pify it). Lenovo, will install an operating system on a spare HARD drive?

He spent about 10 hours now reading the forums and trying to make it work. It seems to be a lot of ppl on the net with a similar problem and zero with a response. Which driver is causing the slowdown?

OK, answering my own post:

http://www.WinFuture-Forum.de/index.php?showtopic=184160

In short:

Windows has had problems with AHCI drivers.

Fault lies somewhere with [Windows, manufacturers of disk architecture Council].  A fast drive can lead to a mess while many data access (Installation / games) (Race condition). Download the latest driver AHCI (10 V) from Intel has solved my problem. Fixes to Microsoft or Service Pack for Win7 should help too. Theres also new chipset drivers out there.

Unfortunatelly it was not possible to run the disk in IDE mode, the pilots had to be installed when the drive kept freezing.

  • Edge 14 - drivers WiFi on a fresh Win7 install

    Hi-

    I recently formatted my hard drive and put my own copy of Win7 on my Thinkpad Edge 14 (0579-A62). There is no recovery partition more. After being surprised that Win7 was no driver integrated for display or WiFi, I plugged in an ethernet cable and went on the Lenovo support site. I tried all the networking: WLAN drivers, but none of them leave work wireless. I installed the Intel PROSet software and it just says: "the driver is not installed" so I guess that it has nothing to do with the WiFi key on the keyboard. Any ideas?

    Thanks for your help RedEd12, but I had to go a different route to resolve this.

    I went to Device Manager, went to properties for the uneven device and looked at the Vendor ID and the device ID and the google channel.  I discovered that the wireless network adapter is a Realtek RTL8188CE which is NOT one of the factors listed on networking: WLAN section on the page of the driver of Lenovo.

    I got the drivers here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdI... (Do a search for "8188CE").

    Shame on you, Lenovo. I lost $13 on a USB Wireless Adapter earlier today before I understood that.

    My wife has an HP Pavilion DM1 is a slug running and I want to do a clean install of Win7 without all the bloatware that is come upon her, but realized that this little book is not a Microsoft COA top sticker to do the reinstall.  HP did ship of this machine without an activation code Win7 on it?  If Yes, is there a way I can get the code to make a * clean * install or should I just use the system recovery disk to go back to the factory?  I have a few old machines COA stickers, but did not burn one if I had to.  Any help/info is appreciated.

    You are the very welcome.

    The recovery disks should be pre-activated and there should be no need to enter a product key.

    But you will need to uninstall the bloatware that will be reinstalled, unless your recovery disks for a reduced recovery.

  • x 220 mSata SSD OCZ Nocti Win7 install fails

    Hello guys,.

    Today, I installed a new Nocti of OCZ 60 GB SSD in my x 220 msata location. at the same time, I got a hitachi 320 GB 7200 RPM lenovo stock disc.

    the ssd is perfectly recognized by the bios. I use version 1.22.

    now, I want to install win7 on my ssd, which has already been installed on my hard drive.

    I put my copy of win7 on a USB key, it starts, select windows install.

    However, arriving at the screen "Select the driver to install.", I get an error thrown to me:

    "A required CD/DVD drive decive driver is missing. If you have a driver disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. »

    I have not driver on my hd/ssd and States of Web site of ocz which a) none is needed, and b) that none is provided.

    I tried to install without having the hd attached, the same error.

    Any of you guys have ideas on how to possibly solve the problem?

    See you soon!

    for one, I have not use this ssd in a laptop.
    It's a terrible sandforce laptop.
    You must use one of the intel ready models boot much better power profile.
    more sandforce tell it different not good for the laptop.

    What is a clone?
    you did, or a copy of win 7 with the windows 7 usb tool.

    You must use a very important 4 GB model or bios does not have a usb of larger size.
    more little won't hold win7.
    You must convert an iso, then make the USB bootable and had not accused the file system on the key.
    I use a special wrench just to install win 7 only.

    in the bios, you can select the USB as a boot first or 2nd order.
    2nd, so you must press the start command menu to select a boot device.
    you not on port 0 is your right to Board, you will need to select the first boot to usb in this menu.
    Make sure also that in bios flat disk of port 0 is not stopped the ist and the msata is moved to the top online.

    some easy ways could be pulling the 2.5 and then he select auto.
    You must specify the pc what you're doing.
    you don a thing out of use and who does not go to port 0 but a new port for the reader.

    If you select usb in the bios the first order when you reboot your system with the installation it will reinstall in a loop that why tyou select not this first, but use the menu screen. F9 or something depoends on the pc manufacturer.
    If you fall into a traction of the loop, the main cause of the image is already there so next restart windows by default to the disk image and complete the installation.

    I know a lot of info here but win 7 can be easy to install or hard depending on if you have it down pat.
    I did over 100 installs so I know everything inside and out and even I forgot to do something from time to time.

    Check again it is a good image on the button who made the right size in the right way and he fully bootable (huge deal - bootable)).
    Select the msata as the new boot ist or 2nd as rom is foirst for most.
    the old disk is 2nd.
    PROMT you F to select the USB drive as the new boot device.
    is nothing another pluged and do not use the combined port but I did lol he worked or sata port 3.

    ALSO - it's a big deal make sure that usb get you is a start control device which means power immediately.
    normally we lone usb on most laptops.
    Some will not be powered until this that completely initialized, this means no power when first restart.
    Commen problem on mobile phones when we have the beta version of windows on the USB.
    Some phones only maintain a usb on the first step.

    look at the light of thumb it will show if cela a port not starting.

  • Win7, installed on the RAID1 does not work Windows Update and messneger (SID problem)?

    Hi, first of all the machine description

    OS: Win7 Pro 64 bit Original and new
    MB: ASUS P7H57D-V EVO
    Processor: Intel Core i7 860
    RAM: 4 x 2 GB Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M2A1600C9
    Graphics: Ati Radeon HD5670
    HARD drive: 2 x WD GP 1 TB - 1 x Seagate 1 TB

    Problem: a bit long to explain...
    I first tried to install the OS on a RAID1, so initially I set raid in the bios with the 2 WD1Tb, then I created the table and I started the installation.
    WIN DVD it recognises the table, it starts installing, it made the first reboot, when is close to finishing it gives an error that cannot complete the installation. I spent 10 days trying to solve the problem without result.
    So I decided to work around the problem, I installed the operating system on a single hard drive, then I cloned the HDD for the RAID1.
    Everything seems to go well but... Update Windows and MSN Messenger will not connect, as having a problem of equality SID.
    If I clone the installation of work, everything works on a different disk included WIN UPDATE and Messenger.
    Cloned on the table, right.
    The table is correctly recognized by WIN7, I downloaded the latest drivers from the Asus MB site, but the problem remains

    What can I try?

    Thank you to everyone

    If 'update of Windows and MSN Messenger' [AKA Windows Live Messenger] are not connected, the chances are it is a network problem. And then...

    1. what application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

    2. If Win7 64 bits is pre-installed on the computer when you bought it, a free trial Norton or McAfee came preinstalled, too? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

  • Defragmentation after fresh re - install

    I just did a reinstall fresh Windows XP, Office 2003, all service packs and updates. Then download and install lastes versions of essential programs such as adobe software, Java, Flash, Quicktime and security. Then the settings imported and set up Outlook. I thought that I should defragment the hard drive at this point (before you install all my other 3rd party programs and all my backup files) so that the Windows operating system would occur at the optimal level. However, when I run the analyzer tool he says have not defragment now. Should I still defragment now or is better to leave it alone and install all my backup files and 3 third party programs. Wait while the analyzer tool reports the need to defragment.

    I look forward to the notice of hearing thereon. Thank you!

    The whole issue of defragmentation is still somewhat controversial. Many people believe that it is a valuable tool and to often do to improve performance.

    On the other side are those who believe that the defragmentation is not only unnecessary, but actually shorten the life of a hard drive.

    In the bad old days of FAT and Windows 3.x files got quickly fragmented and with the speed of hard drives, this caused a significant deterioration of the recovery of files, thereby slowing down the performance of the system. Frequent defragmentation was required. With the arrival of NTFS, file, however, the file system has become much more resistant to fragmentation. This reduces the need to defragment often. With the fragmentation of the speed of modern readers, the impact of (and need) has been reduced substantially.

    As John John has pointed out, it does no harm to defragment. I count not on Windows assessment to judge whether to defragment or not. If it has been awhile, go ahead. In your case, it is not a bad thing to do.

    I actually use a program called Diskeeper that automatically detects and prevents the fragmentation and also will be defrag if it detects that it is necessary and it makes when there is no demand on the processor or hard drive. Do a good job? You bet. It's so transparent that you are not yet aware unless you check the Task Manager. Is this necessary? It is open to debate. I love it and use it.

  • Laptop delivered x 64 Vista, but x 86 installed Win7 - install 64-bit drivers or 32-bit?

    My Presario F572US delivered as a 64-bit with Windows Vista installed.  I upgraded the RAM to 2 GB and installed Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit.

    If I understand correctly, install the 32-bit operating system on the computer portable 64-bit is OK, but should the drivers I have installed (Win7 compatible, updates, new devices or software, etc.), when a choice must be made, be 64 bit or 32 bit versions?

    Hello:

    You must install drivers 32 bits on 32-bit and 64-bit drivers on a 64 bit OS.

    64-bit drivers won't go even after the initial pilot run line on a 32-bit system, so you cannot install them even if you wanted to.

    IMO, you have made a wise decision, installation of an OS 32-bit on a PC with only 2 GB of memory.

    A 64 bit OS requires more memory space and the drive to run a 32 bit OS. Not double, but more.

    I would never install an OS 64-bit on any PC with less than 4 GB of memory.
