Anyone managed Win 8 on an Ideapad U410/U310 yet?

...question per the subject line really, I've tried both upgrade and clean install to no avail... seems to fail on HDD driver.
Thanks
Garry

I was finally able to install Win8 on IdeaPad U410.
1. I downloaded Intel SATA RAID driver from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=21852&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%208*.... Save them somewhere on Win8 installation USB stick.
2. I went to BIOS and in Boot menu I disabled UEFI boot (otherwise Win8 installation program would not let me to install Win8 on any partition).
3. I booted Win8 install from USB stick and selected clean install.
4. When prompted to select partition, I had to manually load previously downloaded RAID driver. After driver was loaded, all partitions appeared on screen.
5. I deleted original Win7 partition, created new and installed Win8.
6. When installation was complete, i enabled UEFI boot in BIOS.
Now, I´m trying to find out how to install clean installation with UEFI boot enabled.

Ideapad U410 windows 8. one button recovery

HI,
I've a IdeaPad U410 that ships with Win 7 and a cool little feature called one button recovery.
The idea is that when the pc is off, you can hit this button and invoke the recovery partition to reload win 7.
Having update the PC to Win 8, I would liek to setup the same operation but with win 8.
Has anyone been succesful with this, how'd you do it?
I see to steps:
Setup a Win 8 Recovery partition, which looks harder than it sounds.
Tell the pc to look at it for the one click recovery.
Over to the Lenovo masses, your thoughts are most welcome.
Stan

Hi Stan,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to inform you that after upgrading the OS (Operating System) from Windows 7 to Windows 8, OKR (One Key Recovery) partition will lose its path with the Software and cannot create the recovery partition for Windows 8 and OKR button will not work as expected.
Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

Is my laptop charger broken or is there something wrong with my laptop (ideapad U410)?

I've had my ideaPad U410 for about a year and a few months (august 2012) and it has been fine. Recently, whenever I plug in my charger in the bottom right notification tray, it doesn't show that my laptop is charging. I tried multiple times and it doesn't work. Is there something wrong? What should I do?
Where can I get a replacement if it is indeed my charger that is broken?
Thank you

If you can run the laptop on the battery alone then it is more than likely still being charged by the charger when the machine is plugged in. If you know someone with a voltmeter you could have them check to be sure that the charger is outputing the correct voltage.
If the battery is still being charged, what I would do is uninstall and reinstall the Lenovo Power Management software. That should correct the icon probem you are experiencing. The Power Management software can be downloaded from Lenovo's download page at the link below........

Ideapad U410 not working in Normal Mode

Hi,
My Lenovo Ideapad U410 has suddenly stopped working in normal mode. If I need to open a link or an important document, I open it in a safe mode.
Has anyone faced a similar kind of issue? I don't want to format the system as i would first like to know the root cause. The laptop is within a warranty period however Ideapads don't have an international warramty i guess.
Any help would be appreciable.
Thanks,
Akanksha

This is cause by some conflict/defective in the installed drivers. Try doing the procedure describe in this link. It also described on how to determine which is causing the problem.

Ideapad u410 von SD mit Linux Mint starten

Ich habe ein Problem: Ich würde gerne eine SD mit Linux Mint bespielen und von dort aus starten.
Vorgehen: Linux Mint habe ich heruntergeladen, auf die SD aufgespielt (mit Linux usb-creator) und beim Boot-Menü die sd auf Platz 1 gesetzt. Der Bildschirm zeigt dann nach dem Neustart auch brav die Option "Linux Mint ..." starten. Nach dem Anklicken passiert aber nichts mehr, Bildschirm bleibt schwarz. Habe schon alles mögliche versucht.
Mein System: derzeit win 8.0 (mit win 8.1. ging es auch nicht), ideapad u410, 64 bit.
Hat jemand eine Idee?

Hallo MIM_MIM,

Ideapad u410 now shipping with windows 8

Lenovo -- what is going on????
http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:category.det...
All the u410 models are shipping with windows 8... yet your support site win 8 upgrade guide has not been updated.
Personally, I already returned my u410 because of this mess, but there are a lot of people here who deserve an answer.

I figured out Lenovo's scheme:
1) offer no assistance whatsoever and remain completely silent when asked repeatedly to outline the steps to upgrade the U410 to windows 8
2) meanwhile, ship the NEW U410 with Windows 8 pre-installed and only 6gb ram for $799:
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/pd/Lenovo-IdeaPad-U410-Notebook/productID.256043800/sear...
3) reduce the price on the Windows 7 U410 to $599:
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/pd/Lenovo-IdeaPad-U410-4376/productID.250640400/search.t...
So, the only way to get a PROPER win 8 install on the U410 is to pay an extra $200.

Has anyone managed to deploy Acrobat Pro 9.0 for Mac through ARD?

Has anyone managed to get Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 for Mac to deploy with any level of reliability through tools such as Apple Remote Desktop?
The main CS3 apps are "better", if still kludgy to deploy somewhat silently, but every time I've tried to get Acrobat Pro 9.0 to deploy, it steadfastly refuses to do so without demanding admin access on at least the first launch, and insisting on running the Updater in the process, which is completely unacceptable.
I should say that I've looked at their Adobe Acrobat deployment site (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/solutions/it/), and it's entirely useless for the Mac version.
Why do Adobe make this so hard?

Okay, I think I've figured this out.
* On a clean machine (ie: no Adobe software), install Adobe Acrobat Pro
* Run Acrobat. Insert license code. Allow it to "selfheal". Quit.
* Run Distiller. Allow it to "selfheal". Quit.
* Edit AcroEFGPro90.plist and AcroEFGDist90.plist which can be found in Contents > MacOS within the Acrobat and Distiller apps respectively.
* Change the "Requires" tags from "YES" to "NO" for all the file resources.
* Copy these to plist files into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/ and overwrite the ones that are already there.
* Run Acrobat and Distiller again. Allow "selfheal" if prompted. Quit.
* Run again. Quit.
* Build a Mac OS X installer package of the following:
/Applications/Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0
/Applications/Utilites/Adobe Utilities
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet*
/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.*
/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet*
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/Adobe*
/Library/Printers/PPDs/.../.../.../ADPDF9.PPD (one per language)
/Users/Shared/Adobe
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf900
* After you've built the package, go through the Acrobat application bundle and find cupshup.pl. Copy it into the Resources folder of the installer package, and rename it to "postflight" (this gets the installer to configure the PDF printer).
* Distribute through ARD.
* Grab com.adobe.* from ~/Library/Preferences
* Distribute the com.adobe.* files to all users; the .plist files can be done through Workgroup Manager, however com.adobe.118.registration must be copied as-is into the user folder, rather than being injected via MCX or the defaults command or any other method, as it's not a plist.
Dear Adobe,
MAKE THIS SIMPLER.
Your Friend,
etc...

Lenovo Ideapad U410: part of screen is white

I have a Lenovo Ideapad U410 and the left part of my screen is uniformly white after turning on the laptop. It's a rectangle about 1 inch long, from top of the screen to the bottom.
I got this suddenly pretty much a month after buying the laptop (it appeared suddenly and I didn't do anything to cause it), and then the area of the white rectangle got bigger after I mistakenly dropped my laptop yesterday.
Would buying a new screen and installing it fix this, or could the problems be more besides the screen?
And is this covered by limited warranty?
Thanks.

Hi Dsav6,
As per your concern, I would suggest you to please re-install the graphics driver of your system from the below mentioned web link.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT073650
Afterwards, please restart the system and check if the issue still persists then it needs a personal assistance and it will be covered under warranty.
Regards,
Sameer

[SOLVED] Anyone managed to get a Lexmark X1180 printing/scanning?

Has anyone managed to get a Lexmark X1180 printing/scanning?
If so mind sharing how that was accomplished.
Last edited by Don-DiZzLe (2008-05-11 16:48:45)

I also bought an x1110 some years ago back in my winblows days.
I had the scanner partly working before i threw it in the shed. I was never able to get the printer working
By partly working I mean the whole A4 scan did not work, it would capture a quarter of the page and blank the rest out.
I'm not sure if the error was with the hardware or software. I remember I used it via Gimp and I think it was on Ubuntu 6.04
I just gave up. There are so many working brands out there, Lexmark just isn't one of them.

Has anyone managed to get a 3TB dynamic disk on Windows 2003 Server?

I just got a pair of new 3TB disks that I wanted to put on my Windows 2003 server enterprise x64 system, SP2, all updates installed.
When I first tried to convert to dynamic, I got the error "The operation did not complete" as described in this KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826823
It says there is a patch, but there is not one for x64, just x86 and ia64
I found another technet discussion here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverfiles/thread/cb62238c-b3d0-4989-b45a-ae6de6701a7b?stoAI=10
However its best suggestion is to use a product from AOMIE, but I tried that and it didn't even recognize the disk. It also suggests that one needs a better version of diskpart.exe and to try to the 32 bit version. Anyone have any experience
with that?
I also tried creating moving the disk to Windows 7 x64, making it dynamic there, but when I move the disk back to 2K3 it does not recognize it, and goes back to a 2TB partition. I also saw something about needing a 512 block size for 2K3, but W7 does
not allow anything smaller than 1K.

Hi,
During my research, if found the following artcle which also mentioned a 3TB disk should be supported in Windows 2003 SP1:
Has anyone managed to get a 3TB dynamic disk on Windows 2003 Server?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverfiles/thread/a720ae72-0c04-44dd-94c0-2e6aecce530e
So I contact the author about this issue. He said it could be caused if your hard disk is a 512e drive as the 3TB drives on the market today are normally 512e drives.
However manufacturers stopping identifying this, and if the controller is old, FSUtil will not able to identify a 512 drive but recognized it as a normal 512n drive.
Thus please provide the drive model so we could search on manufacturer's website for exact information.
Also please paste the screenshot in your reply which Satish mentioned if available.

Has anyone managed to load a movie on their Moza

I've bought two of these things for the kids this Christmas, and I can load pictures, and music, but I can't seem to load any of my movies. Has anyone else While in the Central Software it shows the file transferring, it take a long time but finally gets to 00%. When I try to view it on the mp3 player it plays 5 seconds, and that's it. It obviously didn't transfer everything. It plays in Media Player as well. I tried to transfer it using media player too. It locks up and I have to end the program. I need a hammer.

Re: Has anyone managed to load a movie on their Mozaic i With a screen resolution of 28 x 60 you're going to be hard-pressed to get great quality from downscaling a full-size movie. That said, you dissatisfaction with the movies converted by this Daniusoft application may simply indicate the compression level was too aggressi've. That would appear as blocky or splotchy areas during playback or freeze frames. With any converter you need to balance between the quality setting and the final output file size.
If you search the forum you'll find mention of an application called BADAK http://www.robbiek.com/badak.htm. It is a free converter that is significantly faster than the once Creative bundles that has a preset option for the flash Zen. Those setting will probably work reasonably well for the Mosaic if you change the output resolution from 320x240 down to 60x28. However, I don't have a Mosaic so I'm speculating. Even so the presets may not be ideal for some source video being converted. Quality video transcoding is a "fiddle with it" process not a "one-button" process.

Has anyone managed to get a PS3 Controller to work with OSX Lion?

Hi,
I wanted to connect my PS3 controller to my iMac (late 2011) using bluetooth but have been unable to do so. It will connect for a brief time but then it will lose connect as it has not paired. It also asks me for a pairing code. I have tried 0000 and this does not work. I have searched the internet and it seems this is a common issue. Has anyone managed to get it working?
Does anyone know if Apple plan to fix the issue with a forthcomming update?
Cheers,
Tim

Has anyone managed to install aperture 2 with a 12" G4 laptop?

Mine runs Leopard 10.5.2 with a 1.5 Ghz processor and 1.25GB of memory. The system checker says it's fine but it tells me my graphics card will not work it properly. My graphics card is the GeForce FX Go5200.
Has anyone managed to get it installed, it's blinkin annoying that i cannot load it on this laptop?

I've got it running now on my 12" 1.25 PB with 768Mb of RAM, it took some fiddling but it is running now. On launch it tells me 'The version of ImageIO installed on your computer is not supported by Aperture' but still gives me the option to continue and from there it launches as normal.
It appears that my Nikon D3 files are not supported but earlier cameras like my D200 are fine. My PB is running 10.4.11 btw.
I'm not sure I'm allowed to explain how I got it running here, I've no wish to contravene any forum rules but you can contact me at flateric1 AT mac.com and I can give you my iChat name to talk you through it if you wish.

Has anyone managed to embed flash content within there responsive HTML5 website?

Has anyone managed to embed flash content within there responsive HTML5 website? I'm aiming to get my client gallery Flash based but don't want to sacrifice my responsive HTML5 layout to achieve this.
I feel the Flash gallery would be more secure than my current option,
Thanks in advance
Katie xx
http://www.katiegarcha.com

It dawned on me what the problem was, in my Actionscript, I am using a XML sheet to call the pictures in the gallery. The XML sheet is located in the same folder as the actionscript, but not in the same folder as the html page, hence the Flash working when it is directly called but not when it is somewhere else. Once this dawned on me, I remembered that I used "short" urls for the images thinking of them all being in the same folder as the actionscript, but not thinking about their relative link from the location of the HTML page. So, I believe that if I change the relative urls to fit the location of the HTML instead of the location of the SWF page, it should work.
