Z580 i5, 500 GB with no windows 7 - default partition size.
Hello everyone.
I spent the last 3 hours of googling and reading this forum especially for all information on the system of the okr and the size of the partition.
unfortunly, I wasn't aware of the importance of the drive d partition and I wiped it and it has merged drive c.
After a few experemiting with the sizes of the partitions, I was able to use the okr system and create a back up of my system (windows 7 ulitmate). However when I try to use the back up to restore my pc it says that I can't move forward because the size of partition is not default.
I want to know is what was the partitions by default in order to get the okr system works properly.
If any lenovo emploey can check the z580 with 500 GB model, with no partitions windows 7, I will be verry gratefull.
I remember that I got 4 partitions at startup:
1. no system of labels with boot partition files (as I remember it was 29-30 gb)
2 C drive - with close to 400 GB.
3. d-arround 30 GB drive (used for the lenovo system okr I think).
4. last disc is 1.5 GB with some software from lenovo.
Please if any1 buys a new Z580 500 GB, pls write on this thread what was your default partitions (exact size + type of partition: fat32/ntfs etc.).
Thanks for reading and I hope that a good person can help me cope with this problam.
OK, after much reading on the forum here, I was able to find a some1 post, which was close enough problam as I had and I did as he suggested, and it worked.
Allow me to explain people what I did for any1 who could be on the same problam like me:
first of all, let me say what I had at the time of the problam of partitions:
1. with no label - system partition (containing the boot system files) - used to be 29 gb.
2 drive c-400 GB (location of windows 7).
3. d-ntfs partition 29,32 gb drive
4 lenovo-part - partition (hidden, and btw I have not touched it since I baught pc) 1.08 GB.
what I've done is pretty simple:
1. I reinstalled everything first OKR disc system I got with the pc.
2. with a partition management program, I deleted the d drive partition and gave all its space on the system partition.
what I once changes is therefore:
1 partition-arround 60 GB system.
2 drive c: 400Go
3. lenovo-part 1.08.
Anyway, at this time, I was able to create my system restore by using System okr but also to recover using the recovery at startup mode.
hope this helps any1.

Windows 7 default text size medium 125%. How can I change?
I have internet search and found most users windows 7 would have found the default text size is smaller 100%, but my average is 125%
the problem now is if I put it to the smallest, some application always takes the value of 125% as it is the "default".
If you go to control panel-> display control-> change the size of text. you will see that the default value is initially smaller: more small - 100% (default value)
http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7desktop/thread/a53032c5-764b-4cd7-8967-9bb87b9bb157 this thread has the same problem as mine, but the answer has not addressed the problem.
Can I get help? It is very fustrating that I use 125% just for some applications to work correctly.

Hello destine,
It seems that one of the options in the colors of your advanced windows has been changed. You may need to experiment a bit to find out exactly who should be changed in order to solve the problem you are having, but experimenting a bit, it seems that maybe that's the Box of Message.
To change the font of the Message box:
- Right click on the desktop
- Click personalization
- Click the window color
- Click on advanced appearance settings
For element, use the drop-down arrow menu > select Message boxUnder police > change the size to 9 > click OK
Hope this helpsChris.H

Problems with the windows 10 installation partitions
So I try to install windows 10 via bootcamp on my macbook pro 2012.
However, I still have problems when I get to the screen of partition on windows 10 installation.
So I opened the USB BOOT EFI and install from there.
I enter my product key, accept the license, and I'm greeted by the partitioning. I select the bootcamp partition, but it will not format, gives me an error message, or it will allow me to format, but no real format. If I try to delete the partition I can't create a new one, because it gives me an error message. If I try to solve this problem by making the partition EXFAT / FAT always displays the problem. If I format it under OS X EXTENDED it allows me to move forward, but after installation, it simply gives me the blue screen of death trying to boot from the BOOT EFI of SSD.
No idea how to solve this problem, I am getting very frustrated and frankly upset against apple to give instructions so little.
Thank you.
Is there a particular reason to interrupt the normal process flow using the Alt/Option key? Is your USB, USB2 flash drive Installer?

HP 500-539: activation of Windows 10 third party HP Refurbed PC, I've changed a HD
I'm search / request this now, before I run into problems in the next few days.
Here's the story.
I bought a desktop computer from an auction internet, advertised as a "manufacturer refurbished" HP site.
Boxed processor upward in a HP '' renovated manufacturer"" box. It's the HP 500-539. Nice tour, still has the plastic cover
on the front. Date the product around 2015 Jan.
in any case, it was an original P 8 pro - Hp 500-539, which shows a coa key for.
They had charged him with 10 W pro, who had a certificate of authenticity listed different from the original COA of 8 W pro.
All this information, I received an Internet svc Belarc. Research, the key pro 10 W is on the internet, along with two others.
Well, has started her top and checked out and found a small HD Toshiba, I wanted to change.
Before I changed on the HD, I get a msg of MS to upgrade to the next version of 10 (1604-14393) I did.
Then I did a 10 W USB ISO download to load up on the new HD WD.
So, long story short, I wanted to change small hard disk Toshiba with a new 2 TB WD2003FZEX.
I get on Belarc, and the coa number has changed to 10 W of COA listed in belarc before I swapped HD. Now it shows
the original COA of the original COA for W 8 pro.
I'm going to encounter problems here? I contacted (California) at the auction site, and they say that they do not install or work on the refurb. They came right at HP. I need to get with HP for the coa. ???
Any thoughts on this?
With all due respect
and thanks adavance
Edit > reason for my concern is, the last HP I got on the site of the auction of sent me a letter from MS with a certificate of authenticity and a disk for HP they sold me. There is something different with the Windows OS 10?

Replace the hard drive of 500 GB with 256GB SSD in spectrum XT Touchsmart
I tried to replace the HARD drive of 500 GB with 256 GB Samsung SSD and then began to install it using the external DVD drive, but during installation without disk hard were found. What I have to disable certain BIOS settings or I need to install the SSD in a separate location. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
Yupp, I could install an SSD. You need to install the drivers for RAID Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) driver (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=22194&ProductFamily=Software+Products&ProductLine=Chipset+Software&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Rapid+Storage+Technology+ (Intel % C2% AE + RST) & lang = fre) during the installation of Windows 8. I extracted the drivers for USB and everything by choosing which device to install windows 8 installed drivers.
After that, the SSD has been detected and the simple installation procedure. I pasted the link for the driver, don't know whether or not it will get removed. In case it is removed just search driver RAID Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST).
