Error related to EFI system..unable to install windows 7 64-bit on lenovo g580..

Hi,
I have Lenovo g580 which had DOS preinstalled in it {i5, 500GB, 4GB} and initially I had installed Win 7 32-bit on it. At that time, it gave some problem while rebooting 1st time, but i ran repair windows option and everything ran smoothly.
But the problem came when I tried to install windows 7 64-bit on the laptop using a DVD, no matter which drive I select, it does not allow me to go ahead. When I checked the details, I got the error message which is attached here.
Link to image
There is no disk controller option in BIOS, nor is there anything related tto UEFI systems.
i did r&d on uefi systems, but i want to be sure of everything before i go ahead with anything.
 Any help would be appreciated.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for no help guyz!
but i found a way..so for anybody else out there..here is the solution..
When installing at the partition screen hit Shift+F10.
At the prompt type diskpart and press Enter.
Type list disk (Not the number of the disk you want to use)
Type select disk X where is X is the number of the disk you want to use.
Type clean. This will erase all the data on your system.
Type convert gpt
Now reboot the system with the DVD/USB, and you will see only Unallocated Space. Use that to install the new windows.
Be warned though, this will clear out the partition table on the drive; make sure you have a backup before attempting this if you have important data

  • Unable to install Windows 8 upgrade on Lenovo G580 i5 (64-bit)

    I purchased a Windows 8 upgrade online but have not been able to install it and Microsoft Support has not been able to help me though they have tried over several weeks now.
    I've uninstalled Avast Anti-Virus and removed almost all start-up background applications. When I run the Windows 8 setup file, the first error that pops-up is "Setup is unable to initialise the start-up folder".
    On clicking OK, the next error pops up, "Setup is unable to launch Install.exe. The system cannot find the file specified [Error = 0x800700002]".
    And now, whenever I boot-up I'm asked (in a DOS screen) to select either "Windows Setup" or "Windows 7" but selecting the former says "File:\$WINDOWS.~BT\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\winload.exe is missing or corrupt [Status:0xC000000f]".
    Microsoft Support asked me to boot-up into Safe Mode and run an Avast app that removes all traces of the anti-virus (aswclear.exe) program but I'm not able to get into Safe Mode due to the above boot issue so am at my wits end.
    Microsoft Support says the next step would be to try a re-install of Windows 7, meaning wiping everything out from the laptop, and then trying the upgrade to Windows 8. I would like to avoid doing that but failing to get assistance from this forum, it's what I shall be forced to do.
    Thank you,

    Hi:
    You have to boot from the 64 bit installation media and do a clean (custom) install.
    It will not run from a 32 bit Windows desktop.
    No 64 bit operating system will.
    In other words, you can't upgrade from a 32 bit to a 64 bit operating system, and retain your programs and files.
    So back up any files you don't want to lose.

  • Unable to Install iTunes 64 bit on Lenovo X1 with Windows 8.1

    I get the error message in the screenshot attached when I try to install iTunes on my Lenovo (W 8.1).  I havs done all the uninstalls (iTunes and all Apple and Bonjour programs and folders) and attempted reinstalls, and ever time I get this error message that Apple Mobile Device fails to start.  I have installed Windows Media Pro for Windows 8, as aome have suggested but this makes no difference.  I have also set permissions in system so Administrators hav full control, and I have even tried to install as Administrator.  Appreciate any advice appreciated.

    Also, if I ignore the first error message and proceed with the installation, I get this second error, that Apple Application Support cannot be found, and the iTunes boot up fails.  Again, any assistance appreciated.

  • Unable to install windows 7 home premium updates error code 643 (KB 954430, KB973688 & KB2538243)

    Unable to install windows 7 home premium updates error code 643 (KB 954430, KB973688 & KB2538243) - Please help me!!
    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad E530. This laptop is only brands new.
    KB954430, KB973688 & KB2538243 - These three updates keep giving me problems. In Windows Update, under "view update history" these keep showing up as failed. I also get the error, "Code 643".
    At the end of the installation it tells me three updates are failed to be installed and when I shut down to try to update, Windows always configures up to ~15%, then fails, and reverts changes, then prompts me to install updates the next time I turn my computer on. Each time, I have to re-install every update that I had installed prior to shutting down.
    I went through Trouble shooter - "Fix it" numerous times, Repaired Net framework profile and also followed few instructions I found from the net such as running "Reset Register Windows update Components" but nothing works so far.
    I even tried manually installing KB954430 but it told me "An error occurred during the installation of assembly component. 7B30B69B-OE6C-B7EO-A06B-D6B9ABF34537  HR RESULT: 0 x 80070BC9" and the installation bar seems to stop at "Publishing Product information", then rolls back the installation.
    If you need more details, please tell me & Thanks in advance

  • Unable to install Windows 7! Black screen?

    Unable to install Windows 7! Black screen?
    Hey everyone!
    Some background info:
    I built my computer ~2 years ago and it worked fine for about half a year, until it crashed. Since then I've been unable to reinstall Windows and I kinda forgot about it... which sucks! So please help me get it up and running again :)
    Motherboard: GigaByte Z68
    Processor: Intel Core i3
    HDD: Seagate Barucada 1TB (st31000524as)
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
    My problem: 
    When I boot from the windows cd (original), sometimes I get stuck at a black screen after "Windows is starting" or the black "loading files" screen. Sometimes it just takes a while but I eventually get to the install menu.
    When I am about to chose my hdd, it says it can't install on it. I deleted all partitions, created a new one and formated it (took about 1 hour), still not able to install.
    I tried booting from my GigaByte cd, and it went through some kind of install (not sure what it did, it was weird because it's actually made for backups). After I chose "reboot" I was able to install on my hdd again. But after I got to 100% i got
    stuck at the black screen again! I waited for a couple hours before I had to turn it off, so I'm back where I started. :/
    I always google stuff, and people said the black screen problems could be related to other drives/usb stuff connected to my pc. I only have 1 hdd and 1 usb for mouse/keyboard... I tried disconnecting it but it didnt work and also it doesnt make sense since
    I need to reconnect it to click on stuff anyway...
    People also said I should try booting with F8 and choose "low res", didn't work either. Other people said "connect a secondary screen", I have a hdmi screen and a rgb screen, I tried all combinations of them and nothing seemed to work...
    I also have some confusion with the XHD/RAID/IDE/AHCI settings. I am only using one HDD, so I figured AHCI makes more sense for me - sine i have a SATA hdd and windows 7 64 bit. 
    However, when I load "Optimized System Defaults" from BIOS, it sets SATA mode to IDE...? When I reboot I get a warning screen that says the system is running in IDE mode and I should switch to AHCI for optimal performance.
    How do I know if my system supports AHCI or not, what should I use?
    Whenever I select IDE, and I enter Windows installation, it can't even find my hdd!
    Only when I select AHCI it finds the hdd, but it won't let me install on it.
    I've been strugling for DAYS, so i REALLY appreciate help. :) Also, I've tried making "boot cds/usb", and I have no experience with linux so it's really frustrating. Please don't suggest going linux unless it's really necessary. :( I only have a Knoppix
    live CD, but I find the whole linux system so confusing I wasn't really able to do anything, despite several "guides" and youtube videos. I have a computer that's barely been used and a original windows CD, shouldn't I have all I need to repair my
    system?
    Sorry about the long post, I'll be eternally grateful if someone has any clues!

    I am not sure which specific issue that is, but it definitely sounds like a hardware issue rather than a software or settings issue.  Windows should not have any issues installing; if it does, that would usually point to a hardware issue of some sort. 
    It could even be your motherboard.  Your best bet is to disconnect EVERYTHING that is not needed from the motherboard, including RAM sticks except for the least amount possible, and try installing Windows with that configuration.
    Example: you need the power supply, so connect that.  If you're installing from a CD/DVD, then you need a CD/DVD drive.  You need at least 2 GB of RAM.  You need to be able to turn on the computer, so the on/off switch needs to be connected
    to the motherboard.  You will need a mouse and keyboard.  And so on.  If this bare-minimum configuration does not work, start replacing items: use a different RAM stick, use a different mouse, use a different keyboard, etc.  If, after you
    do all this, it still does not work, then I would suspect that your motherboard has an issue.  You can also try resetting the CMOS on your motherboard.  Some motherboards have a jumper for that, and for others, simply removing the CMOS battery will
    do it.
    As far as IDE, AHCI, and RAID settings are concerned, this should not matter so long as whichever setting it is on when Windows is installed is the same after it is installed.  For example, if it is installed using IDE, then you need to stick with IDE. 
    If you installed it with AHCI, then you need to stick with AHCI.  Changing it after installation can make Windows not boot.  There are, of course, ways around that, but it is easiest to simply be consistent.

    Read carefuly that article. It describes step by step how-to modify Windows 7 64x RC DVD image to boot smoothly on any Mac. Be sure to creat 8 sector disk instead of 4
    Thanks to Jowie I was able to install Windows 7 64x on my early Aluminium iMac.
    PS: Be sure to download Boot Camp version 2.1.1 and modify it so setup will run without errors. I can't hel you with direct links but I can at least warn you. Have fun and good luck

  • HT4407 Hey, I am unable to install windows 7 using 'bootcamp 5.0' . I have already partitioned the drive as (mac Os Extended Journaled) and yet it seems bootcamp won't acknowledge this?

    Hey, I am unable to install windows 7 using 'bootcamp 5.0' . I have already partitioned the drive as (mac Os Extended Journaled) and yet it seems bootcamp won't acknowledge this?
    My first thoughts were that 'bootcamp' was out of date...needed an upgrade to register windows 7. Since then I am once again met with the same problem... how can it not see the I have already have a paritioned drived ready to be used for installition, is there a way to fix this problem? I don't really want to pay out for 'i-parition' only to merge my 2 drives back into one and start again from scratch =/. Seems silly to do so...what are my options?
    Regards Swishi...p.s If anyone can help me...it'll make my day :3.

    ONE PARTITION.
    You don't need to buy anything but you should have backups.
    you can delete #2 you created. Then resize to full drive.
    There are already
    GPT
    EFI
    Mac
    Recovery
    and there needs to be Windows which cannot be higher ID
    Reading the instructions first and just swallow whatever pride or inidignation. It is a "my way or highwar" setup and utility,.

    Then some how my PC got infected  with virus and not able to boot it always says "recover from windows"  but could not succeded, finally wanted to re install again using windows 7 DVD
    First I set boot order from CD but it always booting from infected image from HD and displays same message.
    I have tried another option by getting into command prompt where I did access to my DVD drive and issued setup.exe
    I went couple of instructions and finally stuck where it is unable to install windows 7 by giving below error
    it says "no device drivers found" on the bottom of window and top of the window it says "where to install windows 7"
    On window I think it will expect partition details but window is empty
    I am not sure why my hard drive is not recognizing, I tried some of the drivers from this site but it could not recognize even if I select via browse
    Any one sees this beviour ? which drivers I shoud install ? in order to see my hard drive
    I still found some of my drives under X:windows\system32 but could not selecting those with windows 7 setup

  • Unable to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on Lenovo 3000 J115 7387-26U

    Hi Everyone,
    I am unable to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my Lenovo desktop. Model : 3000 J115 7387-26U.
    When I try to boot my DVD, the systems makes a loud whirring noise.. as if trying to read from DVD, the screen goes blank couple of times and then Windows XP starts up (from my HDD).
    I have a Windows 7 32 bit DVD and it successfully started up and I could see the install screen (though I didn't install it. I want to install 64 bit version of the software).
    Anyone else seen this problem? Is there some workaround available?
    Thanks for your help.
    Swam

    Hi:
    The Intel link you posted doesn't work, so I don't know what you have tried.
    See if this works...
    Download the drivers from this link below (first file listed -- 64 bit).
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?​agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&keyword=Intel+Rap...
    Extract (copy) the files onto a usb flash drive without any folders.
    With the flash drive and W7 installation media plugged into the machine, boot from the W7 installation media.
    After you select the install now option, select the Drive Options - Advanced menu, then select the Load Driver option.
    You should now see the storage driver files listed.
    If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.
    Follow the prompts and hopefully, W7 will install.
