• Clean install of an installation of Lenovo. DVD: UEFI vs Legacy + installation according to Lenovo Thinkpad user Guide

  Machine: T520 purchased February 2012

  O.S. W ~ 7 Pro 64-bit

  I want to wipe the hard drive, buy a Lenovo W ~ 7 DVD installation of PRO and make a completely clean install.

  The user guide for Lenovo (.pdf), Ch. 8, Adv Config, installation Windows 7, p. 295 (298 212) said:

  Start the installation of Thinkpad, choose UEFI against Legacy, and then insert the installation DVD.

  This of course does not apply when the hard drive has already been erased (required to 100% remove all traces of damage caused by a virus, including the recovery partition (Q-drive).

  When an intallation DVD is purchased from Lenovo, is not the first step to insert the DVD? Then there is probably a resulting install wizard an O.S. restored?

  If this isn't the case, please tell me what are the surprises in store, and where I can find a reliable resource to consult written!

  Thank you.

  Hi, Z

  Sorry, but I'm not all-new advanced in the understanding of the apparent contradictions, or how to proceed.

  It is not the case in this case that the Lenovo User Guide is referring to one of several types of clean install, and that he has no idea the other methods?

  If my first step to reinstall the version of Lenovo's W ~ Pro 7 is to use a 3 rd-party app to remove completely all the files from the hard drive, how do I then perform any action before inserting a facility provided by Lenovo dvd? I know that the BIOS software is separated from Windows, but it's still there? Alternatively, is the User Guide of Lenovo referring to a situation in which a first is not a so-called "hard drive wiping" before to start a clean reinstall? In addition, if a wipe everything first or not, is the guide referring to an installation of Microsoft (generic) dvd and not wearing only not on a Lenovo purchase? I think that an installation DVD purchased from Lenovo back on my computer, exactly what was there before and ask me not to make decisions as the UEFI against Legacy (in fact, the words "UEFI" and "Legacy" are not yet in any computer on my computer profile file.

  On the other hand, if the L ~ the User Guide instructions apply in fact to a hard drive wiped, the Guide says absolutely nothing about what criteria to use to make this 'choice' between UEFI 64-bit and 64-bit legacy.

  (When the Lenovo user guide instructions raise more questions than the original question, then these instructions are worse than no instructions at all!)

• Confusion of recovery UEFI or legacy

  My wife has an Aspire V - 5 431 that exploded a year ago. Not a common model, the model was built for Amazon to distribute to employees, they changed their minds and sold on Woot. I bought two and have been really happy with them.

  The machine came with Win 8 on it and has been a lot of work until she killed. She gave it to my friend, instead of saying (argh), difficulty and they put win 7 pro on it. Not what I wanted, but what they were doing. She let the children use it and now it is so infected that I just have to start over from scratch.

  I ordered the Acer recovery disks, and now I have a problem.

  When I put the system disk and attempts to boot from the disc, the first thing that happens is I get an error recovery process must be run in UEFI mode and the process stops.

  I'll and change in Legacy UEFI, repeat the process.

  Now I get to the screen to select a language, French, then recovery menu appears asking if I want to reinstall the OS or perform a full reset to factory settings.

  No matter which option I choose, I get a message telling me that this process must be run in traditional mode. I am frustrated and perplexed.

  It has to do with the OS on the machine is not not the origianl? I don't really know. I consider myself pretty tech savy, but this seems to be above my level. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you, Joe

• Upgrade to Windows 8 Pro's PC OEM of Windows 8 (new installation)

  I recently bought a new PC (Sony Vaio SVL241290X, Dec 2012) with Windows 8 is installed.  I then bought a Windows 8 Pro Upgrade license.  I would like to install Windows 8 Pro as a clean install in order to reformat my hard drive and also remove pre-installed software (my PC came with 2 partitions recovery and a lot of software VAIO...).  Windows 8 Windows 8 Pro upgrade is possible, but does not allow me to do what I want, as indicated in the previous sentence.

  When I bought my Win 8 Pro license I created an iso, which I then burned on a DVD.  After spending some time to find how simply boot from the drive (had to change MODE of BOOT UEFI to LEGACY in the BIOS, that I can enter only with the key Sony 'Help'...), I was finally able to start installing Windows 8 Pro disc.

  After the start of the DVD, I reached the configuration of Windows 8 screen where I accepted the default settings (language, time, keyboard) and click "next".  I then clicked on "install now".  After a brief loading time, I get a message stating: "the product key entered don't match any available to install Windows images. Enter a different product key.  The provided only option is to click on 'OK', what I do, which returns just the on-screen 'Install now', that will make a loop back me the product key message if I click it.

  Of some Internet research, I discovered that Windows 8 keys are now included in the BIOS, this is why I am never have the opportunity to enter my new Pro license (is this correct Microsoft?).

  Can you help me?

  Things I've tried:

  1. I upgraded to Windows 8 Windows 8 Pro (in order to "update the BIOS/firmware key"...) and then returned a clean install.  It not worked as I always get the product key message.

  Things I don't want or think I should be compelled to make:

  1. install Windows 7 from the disc and then upgrade to Windows 8 Pro and remove the windows.old folder.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I never tried the upgrade in the way you describe... which I figured just enabled the features already on your machine, but wasn't sure.

  I don't think that reinstall Win 7 and the upgrade work is the nature of your upgrade method. It seems to need to win 8, not 7.

  From what I can tell, the only way for you to do the clean install would be with the real upgrade of the other versions.  The $40 or $70 a, depending on download or retail sales.

  If you are interested, I've seen a number of online stores sell upgrade Windows 8 Pro (retail) for $30 - $40 after rebate (NewEGG) and in one case $40 outright (MicroCenter). That doesn't seem right, but it seems to be like that.

  Thank you, but $40 upgrade option is one I bought (via http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/buy?ocid=GA8_O_WOL_SM_AppsOffer_FPP_Null) and I got with it.
  That's what I ended up having to do:
  1. perform a clean install of Windows 7 on my OEM Windows 8.  I installed by booting from a Windows 7 disc that allowed me to reformat the hard disk (and remove all partitions in the process).
  2. after installation of Windows 7 (not active) on a completely wiped hard drive, tried to boot from my disk Windows 8 Pro (bought from link above) to see if I could now preform a clean install.  Surprisingly, it did not work, I got the same message that I received before ("the entered product key does not match... (', see my first post).  This leads me to believe that my key OEM Windows 8 original (not pro) is indeed stored in the BIOS/firmware somewhere...
  3. given that start from my Windows 8 Pro disc does not work, I did the upgrade to Pro 8 for Windows 7.  I chose to 'Keep nothing', but still finished with a folder Windows.old (about 10 GB), I simply deleted.
  In the end, I got what I wanted: an installation of Windows 8 Pro without any software preinstalled or wasted scores OEM/manufacturer.
  This isn't the way I think it should have been done, but I think it's the way Microsoft is forced to make.

• Boot from USB or DVD with UEFI bios upgrade

  Hello

  I have an Alienware Aurora R4. I am trying to upgrade the BIOS A03 to A05. My system uses the UEFI boot loader. I have problems starting in anything except through the windows.

  I tried to make a bootable USB flash drive with both the HP disk storage format tool and Rufus using the win98 and FreeDOS as the operating system. The bootable flash drive is recognized when I do F12 and I chose to start. It goes straight into windows.

  I tried to boot from the drivers and utilities disk and once again, he is going directly into windows.

  In my BIOS, I value UEFI then CD/DVD the HD device boot order and still it doesn't start from one of these devices.

  Is it possible either due to UEFI? If I understand correctly this is a 64-bit application and will not recognize any OS 32-bit like BACK. Is this true?

  What I have to go into the BIOS and change it for a legacy instead of EUFI start-up and if I do this will I have no problem starting after I do the upgrade of BIOS and return to EUFI?

  Thank you

  Mike

  I think that you have solved your problem.  If you need boot from a USB device, it will boot UEFI information appropriate unless your BIOS has an option to return to the start-up inherited automatically.

  Updated the BIOS normally resets the configuration to the default configuration for the computer.  If you are unable to update the BIOS, you will need to look through the BIOS configuration page to ensure that your settings are correct.  I would not be surprised if the first parameter you have to do to come back to the UEFI boot mode.

• After the passage of the UEFI boot problem boot in legacy (V5 - 471 g ACER WINDOWS 8)

  Hello! I just change the boot settings in the BIOS to UEFI for Legacy (Windows 8). After passing them, I turn on my laptop and I see "Operating system not found" and "Media test failure, check cable of...» "Moreover, I use an Acer V5 - 471 G Windows 8. Please help me! PS My W8 is pre-installed.

  That's what I did...

  the same thing as you...

  to solve this kind of mess...

  First, you must download from the acer site, the last driver BIOS for your laptop.

  (use another laptop)

  but you need to install a single... but don't worry, it will ask you if the file you are trying to install is not necessary... I used version 1.22... (it depends on the version of the bios, the starting version number must be the same., mine is 1. xxx 1.22, I was invited that installing it is not fair, she says that it is incompatible)

  then, once you have downloaded, unzip it...

  Make sure you have it on a USB (usb)

  Second, since you have the Disc... use it...

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/139810-SFC-SC

  This shows how to go to the command prompt by using repair disk (this can be win7 is virtually the same, only gui is different)

  go to repair your computer option where you will find many options...

  Choose the option to open a command prompt.

  as your in drive X: that is the container for the discount, go to the current folder of the file...

  X: > F: (if F is the letter of the usb key, then F, if not, then use the corresponding to the USB drive letter)
  ... go to the bios folder
  F: > cd BIOS_Acer_1.22_A_A/BIOS_Acer_1.22_Windows/Windows

  then run the Update.bat

  (must be that your battery must be greater than 30 %..)

  If so, simply run the Update.bat

  F:/BIOS_Acer_1.22_A_A/BIOS_Acer_1.22_Windows/Windows > Update.bat

  just wait and voila... it's fixed

  mine is aspire v5 471g

  just tried the boot legacy... and f2 was (as expected... does not work)

  I just did what I said here and it worked again, bios has been returned to factory settings and I just sit here having a smiling face...

  Thus, a very big reminder...

• (Redirected) Is it bad start for Alienware Aurora R4 (UEFI, legacy) mode?

  Recently, I made the stupid mistake of updating my bios as bios 5 to 12 because I get a new graphics card soon and heard that you must update the bios first. As planned, it was wrong and it crashed when rebooting and all-day was stuck at a black screen when starting my PC saying to choose the priority of seed or something.

  Finally, I tried everything to do in F12 menu, I decided to spend the boot mode in the UEFI to legacy. He actually began after doing this and luckily my hard drive is intact, but he had some interesting things that I noticed. First of all, my HARD disk space seems to decrease slightly as I realized to my PC. Second, there was weird stuff with Alien Autopsy (not really, but it has an error message). Also it could run a little bit slower. Hard to say. It starts more slowly as well. Then, change the dangerous startup parameters, or I made the right choice? Or I just ruin my PC today?

  I have an Alienware Aurora R4 running any Windows 7.

• Satellite L50 - B - 1 M 1 - enter legacy Bios from 8.1 to win

  I said, I found these instructions on the Internet into the legacy of the bios under windows 8.1 (on Youtube):
  -From the right sidebar, press 'settings' - choose 'Change PC settings', - "update and recovery" recovery

  -advanced startup

  -Restart

  On restart press:

  -"Use a device."

  "EFI USB device..."

  The following message appears:

  There is no usb boot option in System. Please select another boot option in the Boot Manager menu.

  -Press ENTER: Start menu appears.

  -Choose Enter Setup: you enter the BIOS legacy!

  End.

  Unfortunately for me it is that you restart Windows 8.1

  Could you give me a hand? Thank you

  I wonder what you want to do exactly.
  You want to access the BIOS?

  If so, you must press the F2 key after turning on the laptop.
  The "F2" should be pressed several times to ensure that it was properly registered.

  Note: in the case where the laptop is not closed completely, please check this work around:

• Clean install Windows 7 with UEFI in dv6-7215nr

  Hi, I would like to do a clean install of my HP dv6-7215nr Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x 64 envy laptop.

  To this end, I have 3 questions to solve some installation issues.

  1. What are the steps to clean install Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise intact in UEFI mode?

  I tried to install Win 7 after the pre-requisites following:

  (a) not partitioned 200 GB free space on the disk (only 1 physical disk)

  (b) already installed Windows 8 files with UEFI

  (c) UEFI enabled

  (d) heritage disabled startup

  (e) secure boot disabled

  When I Boot in UEFI of CD/DVD, I can't switch to the Windows startup screen, it just hangs. What I am doing wrong? Is there any other prerequisites that I don't know?

  I tried to install UEFI with Legacy enabled Boot, and I installed win7 but I can't disable Legacy new Boot because Win7 boot and I want only the UEFI Boot and need for inheritance disabled.

  2. where can I download drivers for Windows 7 for my laptop?

  I found this topic:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/HP-envy-DV6-7210ei-downgrade-fr...

  They point to these drivers

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us & dlc = in & lc = in & product = 5273735 & task = &

  I think I could use these drivers, but I need just in case where. I guess they should work as the product names are roughly similar (with mine).

  3. is it possible to Secure Boot with Windows 7 SP1?

  I have no research on this so far.

  Thanks for the help that someone in the community can give to me, it is not important all the problems that I have set in I can still do research on questions 2 and 3 and help others with my research if I can do it before a response. Any info you can give me will be too great.

  (1) ' secure Boot' must be DISABLED and 'Legacy Support' must be ENABLED to install Windows 7 and many other older operating systems. The bootable media must support UEFI boot to install on a GPT-partitioned drive.

  You let people with DISABILITIES 'Secure Boot' (and 'Legacy Support' ENABLED) once you have installed Windows 7. Changing these options causes Windows 7 to start is no longer.

  (2) the Windows 7 drivers on the CTO Entertainment Notebook PC drivers HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 page you referenced, will work on your computer.

  (3) it is not possible to install or use Windows 7 with "Secure Boot" ACTIVE.

  WARNING *.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP cannot provide the drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the 'Configuration of the BIOS start-up secured' on the page parameters below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the boot menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive", "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  If you have missing or unknown devices after installing the drivers, please post to the "Hardware ID" Device Manager (just the text string will do) to these devices as shown in the example below.

  

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• 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.
