Need help replacing Windows Vista Basic with XP Pro on T500

Okay guys...My vista basic is not sustaining itself much longer so I want to get rid of it and downgrade to XP...but there seem to be a lot of problem/obstacle/issue...
I can't seem to restore my factory content from the hard drive and I don't have enough cd to copy the reserved factory partition...I'm thinking if I don't touch on that partition during the xp install, is there a program I can download to have my xp access that partition afterwards?
I downloaded all the drivers and lenovo software from the website; what I don't have is the SP2 slipstream...instead I have a original XP "gold" but I just can't seem to burn a slipstream into a bootable one so I'm wondering if the original "gold" wil do...?
and since this is XP installation I've been reading the access help article on the the installation and the Matrix storage driver..which doesn't make much sense since it seem to refer to driver file on C: while scrapping Vista will surely wipe it off....
currently i'm living with Vista in safe mode only and have no clue what to do...
can people please guide me through what should I do here...Thanks.
+if you need clarification I'll glad to provide more detail and clarify...and please no "update to 7" suggestion..

Hi drixmanbeta,
Which manufacturer provided this XP gold version is? whether it will work or not; your guess is good as mine.
The proceeding guide is very detailed guide on installing XP on thinkpads, you will find it quite helpful:- http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=188992
As for Windows to access the factory partition, it is always hidden from Windows, the OS has no way to retrieve it even though it is visible in disk manager. On the other hand, you can subsequently fix the corrupt boot sector on clean install:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-54483 [which will make thinkvantage button to access service partition during startup]
The ability to create RnR discs is only accessible on factory preload so you will have no such privilege on clean install.
Hope it helps.

  • Need help replacing a Netgear router with my old used wrt54g from another house.

    I had a WRT54G at my old house that was working great. Now the renters moved out and I got the router back. I have been having some issues with the netgear router Im using now so I would like to replace it with the Linksys. How do I do this? Do I need to hit the reset button? What do I set the settings at and how do I set up security so others can't access my network.

    Whoaw! Take it easy Ragnar....
    It is easy to setup the router with your existing network. I'd like to know your ISP. In a way, you can have the router set up manually according to your ISP settings, whether it is cable or DSL.
    For setting up the wireless to be secured, you can check this link.
    for heads up! <<<call_me_jam_>>>

  • Need help replacing original audio track with song.

    Hi experts
    I'm in the process of trying to create a movie for my daughters. What I did was film my daughters signing to a song that was playing on a CD player. I'd like to remove the audio track and replace it with the same song I purchased on Itunes. So far I able to import the video and song and put them on the timeline.
    Now I can't never get the song I added to the timeline to play. How can this be done? And, please, point me to a good book
    Thanks,
    Francis Ouellet

    Yes, I import both the movie and the song into the browser. Then I drag and drop the video into the timeline (V1) the corresponding audio track is moved automatically to A1 and A2. This plays well. Now I drag and drop my purchased song to the timeline (A3 and A4). If I hit the play button it only plays my video and sound (With a beep every second or so).
    It just seems that the video and music tracks aren't linked together. Sorry, just purchased FCE this weekednd

  • Need help replacing old apple id with new one

    hi. i'm trying to update (in icloud) an appleid with an email from 5 years ago.  i was able to delete the old email on my iphone, but do not see an option for this on my mac.  when i went through the 'verify your id' process, it shows the current id/email that i use for itunes, etc.  however, there is no way, it seems to delete the old email/id on the mac and replace with the new.  i would appreciate any advice or experience, thank you in advance.

    If you have changed your iCloud ID and are now trying to change the iCloud ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.

  • Help! WRT54GL with Windows Vista Basic laptop and Windows XP Home desktop?

    Hi. I am going to try and help a friend out and I was wondering if any of you can give me any helpful tips? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here's the situation...
    He recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop that's running Windows Vista Basic. He has a Dell desktop computer at home as well that's running Windows XP. I had him purchase a Linksys WRT54GL router. We want to network the laptop running Windows Vista Basic and the desktop running Windows XP. Is there anything we should be aware of? Anything to know before hand that will help the process go smoother? Will I face any issues being that his new laptop is running Windows Vista Basic and his desktop is running Windows XP? I must admit that I know very little to nothing about Windows Vista. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

    No not very much ... if you are using wired connection then make sure that the IP address on Local Area Connection should be 192.168.1.X ...... try to ping the Gateway address 192.168.1.1  ..... then 4.2.2.2 & at last yahoo.com....
    If you are using wireless connection .... then make sure that the wireless network name should be same as in the router ......

  • Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split i have a new laptop and now it keeps asking for the old ID or it'll erase my apps bought on theold account.

    Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
    Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
    It depends on how amicable the split is...

    Hi there,
    I am facing a problem with my SAP Business One edition. I am using XL Reporter with my Windows XP Professional Edition and Microsoft Office 2003 and/or 2007, and it works perfectly, but when i try to connect my laptop, loaded with Windows Vista Basic edition and Microsoft Office 2007, it does not support.

    my photoshop elements12 will not update says error and contact adobe but not open now for help.  windows vista

    I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Do you really mean the Nikon D60 which shipped in 2008? Was it purchased secondhand?
    The Nikon D60 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 4.4.
    Photoshop CS4 ships with Camera Raw 5.0 so it can read D60 NEF files out of the box. No updates required.
    If you do mean the D60 then something else must be going on. e.g. are you using Nikon software to transfer files from camera to computer?

    Hello,
    Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.
    Your computer comes with Win 8 pre-installed but one of the steps to install/run Windows 8.1 is having updated drivers for Windows 8.1
    Please, go to Control Panel -> System (or Start -> type winver and open) and verify what is your current version - if it is Windows 8 or 8.1
    Windows 8 is version  6.2.x
    Windows 8.1 is version  6.3.x
    If Windows 8 in place, then , please read this article and enroll in the steps:
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/pdf/instruct_update_win8.​1_EN_tcm_245_1508074.pdf
    Update to the latest drivers prior and post installation respectively for win 8/8.1 :

  • Does anybody know to authorize a windows vista computer with the new itunes?

    does anybody know to authorize a windows vista computer with the new itunes?

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

    Have got a Windows Vista basic and had run a a trial version of LR4 on it - just purchased an LR5 without checking out the complete system requirements. Can I get a complete download of LR4 so that the money I've spent is not wasted. I am not interested in upgrading to Windows 7 currently.

    There are still retail packs of LR 4 to be found out there - for example, on EBay. It's just important to be careful whether it's a full version, an upgrade, or a student + teacher version. And to be certain it's genuine, and has a serial number which has never been activated before. The serial number that you get with that, should work with any 4.x version of LR, on either MacOS or Windows. And it will almost certainly be heavily discounted compared with the previous price direct from Adobe.
    Of course the other way is to upgrade to Windows 7 SP1, which should also be available discounted, and thus eke out the life of an older PC (I personally would not go to Win8 in such a case). Maybe pick up some RAM also, if that's a problem, provided you can do so cheaply (since that will be simply thrown away in due course, when you get a newer PC),
    Using LR4 instead of LR5 you do miss out on a few nice features, as well as potentially the Raw support and lens profiles for more recent camera equipment.
    LR 4 is obsolete as far as Adobe is concerned. They will not sell a Serial Number for it.
