XP Downgrade T500 problems

Hello together,

I tried to downgrade my T500 to Windows XP, but it didn't work.

After a restart, Windows Vista startup dialog appears and end up with a blue screen.

I did the downgrade via ThinkVantage key during the starting procedure.

I took the original XP CD witch was delivered by Lenovo and the system restore worked fine.

At the end of the restoration of the system I need to reboot the system but as I wrote the windows XP doesn't have a startup dialog appears.

What can I do? Do I have to format the hard drive before doing the system restore?

Greetings Andreas

Hello

Thanks for your help. The downgrade procedure is possible with the rescue and recovery cd. Not with the touch of tink vantage.

Greetings,

  • Partitioning in T500 problem

    Hello

    A week ago I received the new T500. I tried to divide the drive into 3 partitions and I managed to do it with GParted LiveCD. Windows XP worked fine after that. Then I did the BIOS update with ThinkVantage System Update. After that (I'm not sure it's because of the update of the BIOS) when I boot GParted, it shows that my drive is unallocated space, but windows starts normally...

    I wouldn't bother I have not the fact that I have to install Linux on my T500 and installer can't see none of my scores...

    What can I do to make it work correctly?

    I can even wipe my drive hard if you tell me it will work 100%...

    Finally I did it! Here's how I did it: I went to the BIOS changed options SATA AHCI Mode Compatybility. Then I had lunch the installer of Windows XP - whipe on all partitions, created new partitions using Windows install. After that, I have not had any problems with Acronis Disk Director, install linux on my t500 or any other problem. I hope it helps someone.

  • Distortion of sound on T500 problems

    Hi all

    I had my T500 now for about 3 months and you have problems with the sound and crackling distortion. It is not obvious when you play, but loading Youtube videos, it is particularly evident. Maybe something to do with interference with the network card, I'm not sure.
    I've read that it could be a problem with the Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI controller, but I can't find the link again.
    Any suggestions before I have calling technical support?

    I just thought that Id mention a solution to the problem. Lenovo has recently updated the IDE ATA/ATAPI driver for Intel ICH9M/E/M SATA AHCI controller driver. This seems to solve this problem as a stuttering problem I had with my mouse I have ensure that was due to Razer drivers not Lenovo.

  • T500 Problems WWAN.

    Hey everyone, I just got the map broadband 3G that I ordered from Lenovo, but she refuses to have installed the drivers.

    I bougt garage standard (non-Vodafone) map of UMTS, but for some reason, they delivered the disc of Vodafone. I don't know if this is normal or not.

    I know this is not normal, is that when I installed and booted the computer, he asked to install drivers, after a bit, he asked me to insert the disc that came with it, and then shortly after that, he told me that the card was incompatible with my T500!

    I'll give you a rough idea of what the microsoft problem report:

    "This problem was caused by a compatibility issue between this version of Windows and your WIRELESS NETWORK CARD.

    The name of your wireless network card model is F3507g from Ericsson Mobile Broadband minicards. This device is distributed by many different computer manufacturers.

    I tried to load the drivers supplied on the CD-ROM of Vodafone, no luck. Help, please!

    Yes, turns out that I was not using the correct method of installation for the drivers, it works now everything is good!

  • Resolution graphics ATI T500 problems

    I'm having a problem with the graphic part my switchable graphics ATI in my T500. I am using an external monitor and when I use the integrated graphics card intel 'energy saver' the monitor has no display what is on my laptop screen, and it can go to whatever resolution that my monitor is capable of. However, when I go to the ATI card it can go up to 1440 x 900 max resolution. In addition, the monitor only receive a signal when the laptop screen is open, and the laptop does not show anything. On the other hand, when the Intel card using my monitor displays even when the screen of the laptop is closed. When I try to open the Catalyst Control Center, I get the following error:

    "Could not load file or assembly ' CLI." Implementation, Version = 2.0.3524.37250, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = 90ba9c70f846762e' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. ("Exception from HRESULT: 0 x 80131040")

    I use drivers that are available on the Lenovo support driver download page, I think the version is 8.752.4.0. I use this monitor for a long time with the previous version of the driver and it worked fine. He could even run with this version of the driver when I downloaded everything first, I don't recall (my VGA cable is dead some time ago and I just replaced it).

    I tried to re - download the ATI driver from Lenovo and re-installed page, but the problem persists. I am using Windows 7, 64-bit.

    Well, I have restored my drivers on an older version and the problem has been resolved. I think that the question should be examined in, however, because there may be some applications in the future where I need to update the video drivers.

  • T500 problems with system since the update system

    Yesterday I did an update on my T500 system... after that I wanted to play a little GTA IV... usually I play on the graphic medium with about 28-30 FPS... after the update yesterday, I had 12 FPS...

    result of the update was a new power manager... new... new logins drivers Bluetooth... AND a new Module update for Vista

    Anyone of you have any ideas on WHY my system is suddenly so slow?

    I thought that maybe a Virus was on the right track... but then I installed my Antivir Premium and he did not find anything from now on...

    Well, I'm looking forward to your suggestions and I appreciate your efforts to help me; D

    Greetings

    Hi Robert,.

    I think you should both try to turn it off or put it to maximum performance.

    If the won´t of the situation changes, the last procedure would be a restoration of the system to a previous state of vista.

    If it s a vista update problem, google search gives some tips for updates vista and ati performance;

  • Dell supplied Windows 10 installation on plant downgraded Optiplex problems

    Bought 3040 OptiPlex with Windows 7 downgrade install factory.  Now you want to install Windows 10 provided Dell OEM DVD.

    Followed these instructions www.dell.com/.../SLN288177

    and these en.community.dell.com/.../19988139

    but none of them does not work.

    After you change the BIOS settings and re-booting, I get a Dell SupportAssist screen with a white cross within a red circle and the only option is a stop button.

    Anyone experienced this and have a solution?

    Have now resolved myself.

    I had done a backup copy the Dell supplied DVD - we always do when we only have a physical copy of media they get so easily damaged and unreadable.  I was using the copy to install.

    It suddenly occurred to me if Dell had set up a sort of preventive mechanism using copied the DVD for installation.  I returned to the DVD original and it worked.

    The fact that the copy does not crash with any kind of error but just given a screen with a closing button makes me think that it is a deliberate by Dell.  Anyone know if this is true?

  • Satellite C55-A-1R8 - lack of 64-bit Windows 7 drivers

    Hi everyone, I need your help guys.
    I just bought my new Satellite C55-A-1R8, computer PSCJEE laptop with windows that I hate windows preinstalled to 8.1 and intel cpu onboard, but because n3520 8 I decided to downgrade to the thought of 64-bit windows 7 I'll find all the drivers, but the problem is that there is no driver win 7 for this model of support and I think that I already tried all the others without success.
    My usb ports does not work and I can't find the drivers, windows cannot do either.

    My missing drivers:

    Enthernet controller
    PCI encryption/decryption controller
    USB universal serial bus controller
    unknown device (properties said on processor Intel (r) Pentium (r) N and J-series / processor Intel (r) Celeron (r) N - and)

    also my bluetooth driver seems to be ok, but I'm not able to install any software of Toshiba bluetooth for win 7.

    If somehow I could sort my usb ports would be perfect.

    Guys you have ideas where good drivers?

    Thanks in advance!

    At first, I must say Hat I just hope that you have created recovery DVD or USB until you started with OS downgrade. Problem is that now after the new operating system installation you will not be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery image and one day if you want to have the factory settings you can have a big problem.

    In any case, I m wondering really you have installed before Win7, check if this older OS is supported or not. You can try now is to install the Win7 drivers available for other models of laptops.
    Try please install follow rivers:
    Chipset Intel HM70 River (should help with USB ports)
    I put t know for sure if this wll help but try to install please follow drivers LAN and BT:
    Atheros LAN driver LAN
    Driver package Bluetooth Filter filter BT
    Bluetooth stack

    Please test and send feedback.

  • 15 t-Ac100: how to pass the Win10

    I bought a 15 t - ac100, that come with Win 10. But the system is slow and unstable. I want to run on Win8, an OS stable and familiar. But I don't the Win8 license and installation disc. If I leave my new laptop the Win8 installed?

    Hello WeiC ;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about wanting to downgrade your PC Win10 of Win8 and wanted to help.

    It's actually a bad idea.  Why? Unfortunately, there is no HP Win8x driver for your device.

    Although there are HP Win7 drivers, they most likely won't work on new materials of Win10 supplied with your PC.

    If you do the downgrade, the problem you'll face is that Microsoft provides only pilots to the more basic features, and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops. Without the HP drivers, some features are likely to not work, or if it works, don't not to work properly.

    You can try to use Windows updates to find the drivers from Microsoft deposits for your device: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139

    If Windows Update doesn't give new drivers, you can pursue alternative which are described in the linked Microsoft Windows Insider community thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki/insider_wintp-insider_devices/how-to-install-and-update-drivers-in-windows-10/a97bbbd1-9973-4d66-9a5b-291300006293

    If you then run into trouble, install the drivers through Windows Update, you can try to use of Microsoft Windows Update Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

    Good luck

  • Noob shopping 4 base unit, need DVD eSata + gigabit Enet, HDD

    I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the choices here, hoping that some here may be so familiar with the range of products, they will be able to point me in the right direction.

    First of all that I have not a lot of money, do not have more recent need and bells and whistles, things like sustainability, reliability and independence are more important.

    That said I want a Haswell, ideally 'ultra' processor but the fine of i5 and I wish I could go to 12 + GB of RAM later if possible. Prefer the integrated graphics card.

    No doubt NEED DVD burner eSata and gigabit ethernet.

    Rather than SSDS, ideally of 7200 RPM HARD drive.

    I guess even if it comes with the W8 I'll be able to downgrade (driver problems, not a license issue) for W7. And the compatibility of Linux, so an older model is perhaps better than the most recent.

    In fact, I would LOVE to find a unit used on eBay, if it will save more than a few hundred...

    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    T420, T520 + E520 are all Sandy Bridge, T430u + T430 T530 E530 all Ivy Bridge.

    If you need a machine with optical drive, 12 + GB ram with Haswell. Then, E540, T440p or T540/p are your only choice.

    About LAN driver, all you have to do is to install Nvidia chipset.
