After-reformat drivers problem

Hi, I just reformatted my desktop and under device manager there are a few missing drivers, such as video controller, sm bus, ethernet, etc. I downloaded the drivers from the lenovo site and installed them, but the device manager still shows the unrecognized hardware...anybody know a fix?

download the ethernet files from the below given link
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67073
download and install the package afterwards download the system update function that should help you get all your drivers
if you still have problems with your pc you may want to get the pc doctor diagnostics available for your system
Cheers and regards,

Old X-Fi Platinum unrecognized even after installing drivers

Old X-Fi Platinum unrecognized even after installing drivers? I've got an old X-Fi Platinum card I bought more than 2 years ago (Model SB0460). When I first installed it a couple years ago (on Windows XP), it worked fine for a few months, then I started having issues about every 5th bootup where the card wasn't recognized. Simply restarting the computer would usually work. But after awhile, it finally quit being recognized. I thought maybe it was a problem with the drivers, which were old and buggy, so I took the card out and shelved it for a year and a half. I re-installed it today using the new drivers (2.8.0008), and everything installs fine until I reboot. Then I get the same old "Found new Hardware: Multimedia Audio Controller" popup every time, and the X-Fi drivers (that were there before the reboot) are nowhere to be found in the device manager list. ?
Is this a hardware problem or a software problem? This is a fairly new XP installation, and I spent weeks doing new installs and reformats a couple years ago when I had the original problem and that never helped, so I'm thinking it must be either the card is dead or a hardware conflict. FWIW, I'm using a Dell XPS 40 with the onboard audio disabled in the bios. Thanks.

I have the same problem! Running 32-bit XP SP2, Core 2 Duo with ASUS P5B Deluxe, with a MIDI keyboard plugged into the Li'veDri've of my X-Fi Platinum. Driver version 5.2.6.87 from 8/7/2006. Everything else on my computer works after I come back from standby, but not MIDI input. Most infuriating. The worst part is I know this will never be fixed...

Windows XP hangs on 'spash' screen after video drivers installed on K8N Neo4-F

Hiya folks - got a MASSIVE post for everyone here... Sorry but I think it's necessary... Here goes:
I just upgraded everything in my computer except for the HDD. New case, power supply, etc. I started by copying all important data from my original HDD to a portable USB 2.0 drive. My data is safe, and intact on that drive. So... I formated and repartitioned the oroginal hard drive (1 partition), assembled the system and everything runs perfectly. The problems come later....
The Windows installation is insanely fast and smooth... and the system boots into Windows with no problems after installation is complete. I didn't even need to install the nVidia RAID drivers because windows detects my single SATA drive fine. The First thing I do upon seeing the desktop for the first time is: Install nVidia chipset drivers, then AMD Athlon 64 driver (both latest releases). I then restart and the system boots fine. After Windows starts, I'm asked for display drivers. I click 'cancel', as specified in my ATI installation guide, open up the ATI CD and install the drivers via the ATI autorun setup. At this point, there are no further drivers for me to install and NONE of them have an "!" near them. So I figure everything is A-Okay and restart... BAM!! - Windows hangs on the splash screen. The blue bar moves for about 10 minutes, then stops for 2, then moves for 2, and so on... This will go on FOREVER.
So... I boot into safe mode and uninstall the ATI software/drivers with the help of some other third-party programs, schedule a disk check with CHKDSK and reboot. I startup in Directory Services mode to allow the disk check to complete. No errors and the system restarts on its own (supposed to). Now the system boots in normal mode again, but no video drivers installed. So I download the latest drivers from the ATI website and install them. I restart, and WHAM! -- same problem. At this point I'm thinking "bad video card" so again I go into safe mode, remove drivers, schedule disk check, etc.... restart in Dir Serv mode... "one or more errors found" this time... but that's okay.
After the auto-restart I shut down the computer and unplugged EVERYTHING but the video card, HDD and one stick of RAM... then reset the CMOS, checked battery and PSU outputs (all fine) I then went back into the BIOS to ensure everything is set to 'as safe as possible' and restarted. Again I tried the latest drivers, and again the same problem after restart. So I then booted into safe mode, but left the drivers intactthis time. I scheduled another disk check and restarted again in Dir Serv mode. After system restart I shut the computer down and switched to my other RAM stick and booted... same problem. now I'm DEFINITELY thinking "bad video card" so I plug everything back in the way it's supposed to be, reset CMOS and restart with the Windows CD the drive. I again format the HDD, etc... and install Windows.
Now, with another fresh Windows install, having read multiple tech articles, I thought this could be an issue with the NV SW IDE drivers, so I installed the driver pack minus that driver. I restarted and the system boots fine. Next, I again tried installing the latest ATI drivers, restart, and SLAMMO! -- again the system hangs on the splash screen. So, rather than waste my time with disk checks, etc... I did ANOTHER clean OS install. This time I decided to try installing video drivers BEFORE the chipset drivers... no such luck. I restart and Windows hangs in the usual spot.
NOW, I'm REALLY getting upset and can hardly contain my fists of rage that crave to desimate the computer case and all its internal componets. Time to RMA the video card. I exchange the card for the same type, thinking this will solve my problem, I drive happily home with the new card. Wouldn't you guess it... SAME PROBLEM, on ANOTHER clean OS install!!! Now I'm thinking "bad mobo"? - I don't know because it boots fine and runs fast without video drivers, but it seems to be directly linked to the video card. So... I figure "okay maybe these nForce boards don't like ATI cards"... so I return the Radeon X700 and exchange for a BFG GeForce 6600GT. Yep, you guessed it, STILL the SAME problem!!!
I 'm pretty-sure the problem has got to be with the mobo but I can't be too sure. It doesn't seem too likely because the system boots and runs fine with basic Windows VGA drivers. Also, if I were to try and boot to VGA mode after encountering this problem, that would not work at all either, in any situation, other than after removing the ATI drivers or installing windows without them initially. Right NOW, as we speak, I tried uninstalling the nvidia drivers/software via safe mode, I ran disk check, etc... but the system will no longer boot in normal mode or VGA mode even without the nvidia drivers installed. I've formated the hard drive and am ready to reinstall again if I can find a solution to this problem.
If ANYONE can help me it would be EXTREMELY APPRECIATED! I'm not a dummy when it comes to computers but this is pure MADNESS!!! I couldn't even BEGIN to fit everything else I tried into this forum. I had to sum-it-up, but I will gladly answer any questions from you 'brains' out there and will monitor this site daily. I won't ask the question and disappear never to tell of the solution I may or may not find...
Thanks in advance,
Eilios

Hi,
If you only have one Serial ATA Hard Disk, then you don't need the nVidia RAID Driver. This driver is only needed when you set up a Serial ATA RAID Array or a Parallel ATA RAID array. For this you must have two identical hard drives in your PC, for RAID 0 and RAID 1 arrays.
nVidia SATA RAID drivers supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and JBOD. When you install at least two Hard Drives, prepare your mainboard to use SATA RAID and
set up the RAID Array style you want to use.
Then you will need to install the nVidia RAID driver, to allow Windows to "See" and use the drives correctly. This is done by pressing the F6 Key, inserting the nVidia RAID Driver disk , and "telling Windows" where to find the driver it needs, at the very beginig of the Windows XP setup process.
However if you install a RAID driver with just one SATA Hard drive, or two SATA hard drives, (this last scenario not set to be used in an array, but as two different use drives, lets say one for OS and one for MP3 Storage), then Windows begins to load, it will load the RAID driver, but since there's no RAID Array, Windows will keep "looking" for an inexistant RAID Array, and if there's no such RAID array, this will take forever.
That's why installing nVidia RAID Driver may hang your system (which as you saw is not really hung), at the Windows Splash Screen, it is just trying to find something that doesn't exitst.
NOTE: nVidia RAID Controller, supports RAID Arrays into both, the Serial ATA channels and the Parallel ATA (IDE) channels too. But for both options, you always need to have at least two identical hard drives installed to build up and use a RAID Array, which can only be seen by the nVidia RAID Driver, for both Serial ATA hard drives and Parallel ATA (IDE) hard drives.
NOTE: JBOD stands for Just a Bunch Of Disks = In this scenario, you can combine hard drives of different brands and/or capacities into one big drive that will be seen by Windows as one drive only.
NOTE: Even if you don't have any RAID array, you must install the nVidia nForce 4 Drivers. You can just leave the nVIDIA SATA Driver check box empty.
Hope this helps
I did not have any RAID or SATA drive in my system, actually these were disabled in BIOS. I had the similar experience though. BTW, why NF4 chiset driver is very important to install if Windows XP drivers can get the job done? Look at my link in the previous post.

HT5628 After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp "removed" the DVD drive!

After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

After reformatting hard drive, iPod syncs very slowly with iTunes

A couple of months ago I had to reformat my computer's hard drive. I keep all my music files on an external hard drive. After reformatting, the man who did this for me reloaded iTunes for me and imported all my music back into my iTunes library.
It seems that since that time, when I sync my iPod to the iTunes library, it takes many times longer than it used to. Maybe something else happened to my iPod or iTunes and the reformat is just a conincidence, but it really does seem to take three or four times longer to sync.
I have iTunes 7.4.1.2 and my iPod is an older one, a 40G with dock connector
Also, I recently bought some audiobooks to put on my iPod. I only had about 600megs available so the iPod would not sync. I then removed several Gigs from my iTunes library. When I click on the "music" icon under "library" it shows that I have only a little over 29G used which should leave well over 5 plus Gigs available for the new music. But when I try to sync the iPod, it gives me the message that I have only approx. 600 megs available. What's up. I never have had this problem before and I have had the iPod for several years.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Dennis

I actually learned yesterday that Apple didn't put USB 2.0 in their Macs until G5... something I was VERY irritated to find out. Turns out they were betting that Fire Wire would take off instead of USB 2.0, so they only equipped their machines with USB 1.1. So as a result, my iPod is unacceptably slow. Other nagging problems like this are convincing me that I'll have to get a new Mac Pro in the coming year, but for the meantime I think I'll be buying a USB 2.0 PCI card.
Thanks for your response.

Grub won't install after reformat from gentoo install (error 18)

Previously I had gentoo installed with grub in the / partition in sdb2 (hd1,1). I got through the arch install after reformatting that jfs partition except grub wouldn't install because it said the "Selected Cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS". I didn't change any partitioning so I don't understand how that would be possible.
I ran fdisk to fix the partition order, but it didn't have anything to fix. Another oddity is that when I try to boot up, I get a grub command prompt with no errors, and that mapping is different (sdb is hd0). I can't really change my partitions, because sdb1 is a 1.5+ tb partition and I don't have room to backup the data.

Well I found a workaround for my problem. It's not ideal, but I installed grub to sdb1, which is a home partition instead of sdb2 (my /).

Putting music from iPod to PC after reformatting hard drive

I'm new to the world of iPod Nanos and am still learning how things work. I had to reformat my PC due to a computer problem. I saw some place a note about moving music from the Nano to iTunes after reformatting, but I can't find it anywhere.
So my question is this: How do I move the music from my iPod Nano to iTunes so that I can put the files back on my PC?
I didn't do any back ups of music on the iTunes before I formatted because I hadn't thought to do that. I can see the songs in iTunes, but it won't move from the iPod to the iTunes Library.
Thanks for any help you can offer me!

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of these here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions

For more on the new function in iTunes 7 look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

ATI Radeon drivers problems (both open-source and proprietary)

Hi 2 All!!
I have a problem with my ATI Radeon 9000-series. The open source drivers (xf86-video-ati) don't work very good for me, my monitor's fresh rate isn't "at-top" and the monitor projection is slightly translated to the right (say 8-12 pixels). So I've tried to build the official drivers with ABS, all is gone successfully, except for some worrying warnings, but I thought that it's normal. I have a customized kernel, build through ABS... So, when I've tried to load the fglrx module it says:
# modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/video/fglrx.ko): Cannot allocate memory
Please, help me! My machine is slow, I can't run any OpenGL-accelerated application, even Quake III!!! If you can suggest me how to improve the performance and how to resolve problems with open-source drivers, it also would be very good... Thank you and sorry for my poor English please.

I had some problems with installing ATI drivers recently (could not build fglrx module, not even manually, I had to change some installation script), but with latest driver version (8.11 I think) from ati.amd.com was everything fine (I have Radeon 9600 Pro)
Try to do this (and write here the output)
glxinfo | grep vendor
fglrxinfo
In both cases, it should write something like OpenGL...: ATI... if there will be MESA or DRI, that means that you don't have loaded your fglrx module.
If fglrxinfo output will be something like: no permission for...(should be first or second line of the output), then write this somewhere in your xorg.conf:
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
run:
modprobe -a fglrx - and give here the output. If there will be none, run:
lsmod | grep fglrx - to see wheter fglrx module is really loaded in kernel
if you will have no module, you can install one, type:
cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
sh make.sh
cd ../
sh make_install.sh (as root)
and post any warning or error here at forum, drivers (but not fglrx module) are installed at /usr/share/ati
After installing drivers, you also need to configure your system (notice your system that it's there), commands:
aticonfig --initial (for editing your xorg.conf)
aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv (acceleration support in xorg.conf)
Showing your xorg.conf file here is also good idea, here is mine (sections Device and Screen):

I am using iPhone 4 from the last one year and went dead and got it replaced by paying Rs.12500/- to Nyasa Sion Koliwada Mumbai Service Provider but now again after 38days the problem has started, what do i do? Is this is the quality & service we boost?

I am using iPhone 4 from the last one year and went dead and got it replaced by paying Rs.12500/- to Nyasa Sion Koliwada Mumbai Service Provider but now again after 38days the problem has started, what do i do? Is this is the quality & service we boost? On visiting the store we get only one reply you may write to Apple directely. we have the similar kind of problem with iPad which is being used by my wife Mr.Neelam Vij and paid Rs.16000/- to get it replaced within a year & 6months use. so in totality we have paid Rs.28500/- + Rs. 3000/- diagnostic charges.
1. iPhone 4 , 32 GB Black with Sr. No. 88******A4T
2. iPad 2, 16GB White with Sr. No.DL*******KPH
Moreover, we have no information to contact whom. even the replace set has a warranty of only three month which further confirm that Apple itself is not confident wheather product will last after replacement for more then three month. Such kind of happening do not encourage anyone to recomend this product to anyone. Would appriciate a faster response to our problem if someone from Apple is going to read this email.
Thanks & Regards

After reformatting my 1 Tb WD ext drive and tinkering with the "exclude these items" list, I now get the following error message from Time Machine:Are you sure you want to back up to the same device your original data is on? the WD disk has mounted??

After reformatting my 1 Tb WD ext drive and tinkering with the "exclude these items" list, I now get the following error message from Time Machine: "Are you sure you want to back up to the same device your original data is on?" I've reformatted in Disk Utilities...not sure what I did wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure what you mean by "booted" from it.
If the Mac OS is installed on the external drive, then it's possible to start up from it, just as you do from your internal drive. Please open the Startup Disk preference pane in System Preferences, and verify that your internal drive is selected as the startup disk.
Assuming that's the case, then it may be that your TM settings have been corrupted. Turn off TM, then move or delete the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist. Turn TM back on, recreate your settings, and try again.

What did you "put as slave?" What Mac model do you have, exactly?

How do I access files that have been recovered (after a Mavericks problem) with the .cca file extension

First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

Trying to upload itunes library after reformatting...

A couple of weeks ago my ipod starting skipping through songs as though it was stuck on fast forward. After going through the recommended troubleshooting fixes, it got to the point where the ipod wouldn't even turn on... it would just flash the apple logo over and over again.
According to the ipod support site, when this happens the ipod needs to be put into disk mode and then completely reformatted. I did this last night. After reformatting it, I hooked it back up to my computer so it would upload all of the songs in my itunes library back onto the ipod. Since I had well over 1000 songs to upload, I decided to let it run all night long.
This morning I got up to find an error on the computer saying that itunes.exe had timed out and could not complete the action. The ipod itself still said "Do Not Disconnect" and when I tried to restart the upload, the whole computer froze.
Is there a timeout setting on itunes that is going to prevent me from uploading everything in my library back onto the ipod? I searched the preferences and such and found nothing, but this is really frustrating because after having to restart my computer this morning after it froze, it started uploading again at song 1 as though it did nothing last night.
Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Have you tried restoring your iPod?
Restore your iPod.
Connect your iPod.
Go to "Edit->Preferences->iPod".
Select your setting in "music" to "manual".
After that, go back to your library, select about 100 songs in the library (to start with), and drag-and-drop them into the name of your iPod in the left source panel.
See if this manual way works instead of the automatic way (I was presuming that your setting was for automatic). Drag your songs to your iPod at about 100 songs at a time.
