Z580 ignores USB and boots directly to Win8

Hello Lenovo community...

I have a Z580 ideapad I bought around a month ago, I can get into the boot menu from the Start button Bios (next), but when I select a USB drive with a Bootable Ubuntu Image, it does not take into account my selection and instead starts in Windows 8. Changing the order in the BIOS to boot from USB was first of all the same result.

If so, Ubuntu 10.04 version and starts fine on USB on my netbook.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks, Seb

Hello and welcome,

Try this: go into the BIOS, disable startup secure, select Startup inherited or UEFI + legacy.

  • Confused about the use of Fusion and boot directly to Windows via Bootcamp?  I thought that my installs would be synchronized?

    Recently, I installed Win 7 64 Ultimate using Bootcamp on my iMac 27 inches in 2010. It wasn't a problem. I then install Fusion 3.1 and import my install of Win 7 Bootcamp. Everything went well. I am using version VM to work related things which requires Windows and did not start directly into Windows for the first time, I installed and applied all the updates.

    Anyway, today I wanted to start Windows to the demo of a game. No much, that the installation of Windows seems work fine. But, I expected to see all applications and files installed there is just the way I did in the virtual machine. I thought they were basically the same facility and would be fully synchronized, but they are not.

    I'm doing something wrong or is it the way it is supposed to work?

    Is it possible to make two "versions" be the same whether in the machine virtual or kick directly?

    Because you 'imported' you see the expected behavior because an import is completely separate and apart and not linked to the original.

    On the other hand had you just clicked the button Start Up on Boot Camp entry into the library Virtual Machine, then you'd be using native installation as a VM.  However, a word of warning is in order that WPA (Windows Product Activation) can be problematic, Microsoft may require you to have two separate licenses and this is beyond the control of VMware when VMware Tools fails to control who after he activated in each environment.

  • HP 8150 printer does not print error: Re-installing the printer, unplug the USB and power and re-boot do not solve the problem

    Original title: hade 8150 printer does not print

    Under Vista Home Premium with all updates. The printer is a Photosmart 8150 H - P, which worked well for a few years.

Grateful for any ideas. Thank you

  • Lenovo B590 won't usb key boot

    I just bought this laptop and it came with windows preinstalled 8, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 on it.

    I have a bootable usb key, which I've used several times to install Windows on my other laptops, but the just B590 won't. I feel I have tried everything. I changed boot priority in the BIOS with USB HDD as number 1, but it always starts just in windows 8.

    I tried to delete everything except the boot order USB devices, and now I get this start menu:
    http://i.imgur.com/1iV2iaW.jpg

    Which is exactly what I want to boot from, but when I press ENTER to boot the USB device, nothing happens. It's incredibly frustrating.

    The USB device IS bootable with a primary partition. I used these steps to make it bootable in DISKPART:
    http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/234.how-to-deploy-Windows-7-from-a-USB-Dr...

    After having no luck on the B590, I tried to boot from the USB stick on another computer and it works perfectly fine. Start the installation of windows 7. This suggests that the problem is not with my USB.

    I even tried to restore the USB and use Lenovo generator Bootable application to make the bootable usb key, with the same result.

    Can anyone help?

    BIOS backwards

    Under the Startup tab

    Change Boot mode in legacy

    USB boot must be enabled

    Under Security

    Secure Boot should be disabled

    In case the above options are grayed out in your BIOS, got to the tab out and change OS optimized defaults to other OS

    and look at the options.

    Once all are set be sure to save all changed by pressing F10 and enter for Yes

    After Hitting enter it restart and you have to keep tapping F12

    This should make the Start Menu that lets you choose where to start. You should now have your USB optional.

    Let me know your results

  • iP8720 - wired USB and wifi at the same time?

    I sought an answer to this but have not found one that I really understand.  An iP87290 can be used as a wired printer and printer wifi simultaneously?

    I put up as a USB Wired printer on the office a year ago.  Works very well.  Now my wife wants to know if she can print on it from his laptop.  I have the wifi set up in the House and she often logs from the living room... as I have from my android tablet. What we do when she wants to print something, it is transferred to an SD card, then put the SD card in the office and printing from it.  Aging.  It would be much better if she could just walk into the 'office' and turn the printer on and print directly from his laptop.  I like to keep the printer connected to the desktop also.

    Thank you.

    Hi Muhammed.

    You can connect your PIXMA iP8720 to a computer with a USB cable and also use wireless with other computers and devices at the same time.

  • HP PhotoSmart 6525 Switching Back-and-Forth between USB and wireless

    Hello

    I set up my HP PhotoSmart 6525 following installation 'wireless with a router' instructions (i.e. No Direct wireless).  I am able to print from my laptop through the wireless network.  I would also like to be able to print from my laptop using the USB connection at the time where my laptop is physically sitting next to the printer.  At times where it is not the case, I want to continue to be able to print wireless.

    Is it possible to install the printer drivers on the laptop so that I can switch easily back and forth between printing USB and wireless printing?  I suspect that it is not possible because of the user's guide has a section describing how do to "Change a USB connection to a wireless network" you click on an item of menu called "convert a connected USB printer wireless.  There are no instructions to know how to convert USB.  In addition, the use of the word "convert" makes no sound as you can maintain the two methods to print simultaneously on a single computer.

    Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how?

    Thanks in advance,

    Paul2

    Hey Paul2,.

    I see that you have the HP Photosmart 6525 installed for a wireless printing capability and would also like to add a USB driver so that it is available for use by the printer.  Please follow the steps below to add a copy of the printer for USB printing.  The steps below are for Windows 7 and below computers.  If you have Windows 8, then the steps will be slightly different then let me know.  Please let me know if you have a Mac, because I can provide these steps at this point here.

    • Press the start menu of the computer
    • Select all programs
    • Open the HP folder
    • Open the folder for the Photosmart HP 6520 series
    • Select "printer setup and software."
    • Select the option to add a new printer
    • Select the USB option
    • Connect the USB cable when the software asks and proceed through the installation process

    You let driver Jack without wire in place and add a second printer in the devices window and print USB printers.  The USB printer may contain 1 copy in the name as a differentiation, but it must also indicate network in the name of the printer to indicate that it is the wireless option.

    I hope this helps.
