Primairy IDE and Windows Install Problems!

Hail all, I have had this issue the last 48 hours for the most part, but it started last monday night..
I orderd all my stuff from newegg.. I got:
Intel 775 Socket 2.8ghz Prescott
ECS Mobo (psh model)
2x 512mb DDR 3200
Western Digital 80gb Hard Drive at 7.2k RPM (my only OEM item)
Chaintech GeForce 6600 GT video card
Jaht ( I think? :p ) Wireless PCI Adapter (can't have wires running in my room)
Aspire-X Dreamer II Case
Rosewell DVD/CD-RW combo (very cheap).
Anyways, I hooked it all in and it wouldn't give a signal to my monitor. I found out a small mount was hitting the mobo, and it was probably damaged. I got a new motherboard on Friday (which was all of my paycheck being as young as I am), the grand MSI 915P Combo. Oh, it was so shiny and awesome!
I got a signal to the monitor, and it started up. I put in a floppy for the latest BIOs and it seemed to go right. I put in my WinXP disk, and rebooted. Do do do, it starts to do that 'pre-'load Windows thing. When the little message at the bottom says "Loading Windows Setup". I am thinking "so leet ".
When, HELLO, my first Blue Screen of Death (before I even installed Windows! I love that). It says check for Virusis (I havn't been on the internet..) and uninstall any new HDs and such. Well, that confuses me. So.. I put in my friend's very very old HD (which has tons of buggies in it BTW) and that loads fine. So I put mine back in, skim through my BIOs and I notice that the HD is the Third Master IDE, and that my CD-ROM slot is considered RAID.
What the hell?
I am going to install the older set of BIOs for the 915P Combo from July instead of the September ones and hopefully that'll fix it.
Has anyone else had any errors like this? Thanks - Erik

you skiped the part about him buying the msi board.

try switching the jumper on the hard drive make sure its set to master it could be on slave and casuign some problem. I know for some odd reason when my 1 of my drives is in a differt location i cant boot windows i move it back and its good.

I'm not technically gifted & can someone walk me through how to resolve this?
Many thanks,
Bill.

My B320 is a week outside the rubbish 6 month warranty but has been a real pain from purchase. I had repaeat blue screen error messages & eventually went to local pc repair shop who re-formatted the hard drive. It was ok for about a week and is now back to blue screen whenever try to log off, hibernate, sleep & even just during ongoing use. A whirl & clicking noise preceeds the blue screen. The error code is:-

I went back to pc repair shop who are telling me the hard drive must be faulty & that I need to buy a new one. What worries me is that by loading back evereything onto a new drive it'll still just reoccur. I'm also miffed at all the extra cost for a virtually new pc.
I posted a meesage asking for help weeks ago and one of the satff said he'd get back to me but never did.
Not a happy Lenovo customer & never again, as they say.

Clean 8.1 Install on SVF15A16CGS (Control Centre: Already Installed?)

Hi,I'm changing from Windows 8.1 'home' to Pro. To do this I need to install Windows in such a way where I can only 'Keep personal files' or 'Keep nothing.' I absolutely cannot install 8 then upgrade it. This of course wipes all the software from the PC including Control Centre.After Windows 8.1 installs, I try to install Vaio Control Centre via the product support page, and I receive an error stating, in poor english, a newly version has already been installed on your computer. installation is stopped.The machine does not have Vaio Control Centre installed at all, so I'm struggling with this error. Why can't it proceed anyway as an option?I managed to download a few historical versions of Control Centre to which one version did install, and then allowed the current version to install from there. However it is missing options, such as Input Device, which allows me to choose the keyboard backlight settings. Also missing is Image Quality, and I feel others are missing too.So my keyboard backlight is always off, which with silver keys are hard to see, plus I'm missing components of the Sony Control Centre.I feel that for premium PC manufacturer, Sony should make the effort to make adjustments to their drivers, especially for machines one off current model, so users can effortlessly install Windows and go. I've never encountered such a ****** requirement to 'upgrade first.'I'm very frustrated, does anyone have any idea's on how I can force Control Centre to install properly and give me my backlight control back?Many ThanksJohn

Hi zunnun,
Welcome to Sony Community!
We're sorry to hear on this inconvenience. Have you try installing this update on Safe Mode. If it persists, thoroughly search for the Vaio Control Center and delete everything , then go to Sony website and install the original version of this Vaio Control Center.
If you created a recovery disc of the orignal operating system, please use it to make sure you will get the factory setting of the computer then upgrade to Windows 8.1. I hope this helps.
For further assistance regarding your concern, please contact the Sony offices/Sony representative offices nearest to your place of residence in Asia Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.

Idea Centre K only starts up 50% of the time; I am confused.

Hello:
I have a new Lenovo Idea Centre K desktop with 64bits and Windows Vista. Unfortunately, the computer only makes it past the "Lenovo" booting screen about half the time. The computer freezes on this screen, I must hold down the power button, then start again, where it will always start the next time. This freezing occurs before the beep part with the blinking cursor. If it makes it past the Lenovo screen, there is always only one beep. Usually, the times it doesn't start are after 12 or more hours when the computer is turned off. After I shut it down and try again, it will start every time and work fine thereafter. I checked that it is properly set to 115V for my regional power needs. This issue is annoying because I must watch the computer power up rather than push the button and let it power while I do other activities. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks:
Dan

All,
We can look into the issue generically and see if there are any thoughts on things to try. To make more progress, it would be helpful to know which model K series desktop you have, and a bit about your configuration, and whether this pattern is consistent.
Does it always fail to boot all the way through on first power up, and then always successfully go through on the retry? What, if anything has been added or externally connected to the system via USB or other ports?

Do any of you have any ideas as to what might be the problem.

Hi David,
     Thanks for getting back to me. One question, Do I need to install CMS seperately or the does
     the BusinessObjects installs it?
     When I did the BusinessObjects install it installed the Microsoft SQL server 2008 Express and created an
     SQL Server Instance named BOE140. I checked with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (which I downloaded from Microsoft) and saw that no tables were created.
     Regarding the message
     "(.\crypto.cpp:199). (FALSE : digest exception: The FIPS140 shared library could not be found (10027))."
     listed in the log file above, what is my system missing.
     Looks like CMS is not getting installed.
     I am doing the install on a VMware Windows 2008 system with 8 GB ram and 50 GB file space.
     Are there any special requirements of configuration on the Windows system?
     Thanks for your help,
     Arvind

Updating ipod on fresh Windows install without losing data?

Hey guys.
I have an 80gb iPod Classic, and my iTunes had about 72gb worth of data in the playlist. Recently I had to reformat my system drive and do a fresh Windows install, and as such my iTunes playlist obviously got wiped. If I readd everything that was on my iPod into the playlist, will iTunes try to wipe my iPod and transfer everything over again, or will it recognize that the files are exactly the same and only copy the new files over that weren't originally on it?

If your iPod is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Once the iPod is in manual mode you can add to it without losing any content but you will have to drag it from the library yourself: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
However once you are safely connected you can copy content from the iPod to iTunes. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iDump Windows Only

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Black screen during Windows install

Hello,
I have a late 2012 27-inch iMac with the GeForce 680MX 2GB graphics card. I'm trying to install Windows 7 or Windows 8 using Boot Camp, but neither works.
In either case, I can use the Boot Camp Assistant to create a bootable USB install disk, download the latest Windows support software from Apple, and partition the drive to allocate space for the Windows installation.
As soon as I partition the drive, the iMac restarts and tries to boot into Windows. But the only thing I ever see is a black screen (no blinking cursor), no matter how long I wait.
This seems like the exact same issue that plagued the late-2009/mid-2010 iMacs,
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
In other words, it looks like the drivers included with the default Windows install disk don't work on the late 2012 iMac, at least not when configured with the 680MX.
Since this looks like the old problem but Apple doesn't appear to have provided drivers for the new iMac yet (the older iMacs above used ATI graphics, not NVIDIA), I tried to add the latest NVIDIA notebook graphics card drivers to the Windows install disk using the directions here,
http://superuser.com/questions/501812/corrupt-graphics-during-windows-8-installa tion
In particular, I used these drivers,
http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/55125
They're not explicitly supporting the 680MX (I couldn't find any drivers for it in NVIDIA's website) but they do support the 680M and a whole slew of other cards. Thought it was worth a try.
Anyway, that didn't do the trick. Still the black screen for me.
Any ideas? Have others had this issue with the new iMacs?
Thanks

OK, I figured it out.
You know how the Boot Camp Assistant gives you three options? Create Windows Boot Disk, Download Latest Drivers, Install. You basically need to do all three at once, from scratch.
I'm not sure exactly when in the last couple of months, but Apple updated their drivers. A few days ago I gave this another shot. Initially I tried using the USB stick I had previously created, but using some of the links at the first post above, I tried to inject the new NVidia drivers provided by Apple. That didn't help. I got the black screen and all that all over again.
But then I just tried to start from scratch, remaking the USB stick while simultaneously downloading the drivers. It then also asked me if I wanted to install a new helper tool. I never got that prompt before. Either that tool solved it, or when it was creating the boot disk now it was injecting the new drivers itself in some different way.
Whatever it was, try starting from scratch and going through all the steps and you might be successful in classic "it just works" Apple fashion. Took them a couple of months, but they got there.

Help Promise 378 Sata (non raid) Windows install

Ok I am now atempting a fresh WinXP install on my new WD Raptor.
The Problem being that XP setup does not see my Sata drive.
After F6 it gives me the following choices...
"Win2000 Promise Sata378 Controller"
"WinNT Promise Sata378 Controller"
"Win Server 2003 Promise FastTrak 376/378 Controller"
"WinXP Promise FastTrak 376/378 Controller"
The Obvious selection #4 has been tried multiple times, it never see's my Sata drive.
Options 1&2 give error as I did not copy Win2000 and WinNT folders on floppy.
Is XP based on NT or 2000? I dont remember.
Floppy was made according to "makedisk.txt in the 378_55.exe.
Ive tried multiple Bios settings under "On chip Ide configuration"
If you read my earlier post I had a problem with my current Windows install loading raid drivers by default. I think Xp setup is doing the same thing. How do I get it to load Sata drivers instead?
Thinking Promise or MSI (whoever) should have gone to the trouble of configuring seperate files, ie. 378_Raid.exe 378_Sata.exe!
Yes I have Changed boot order to the sata drive. Order is floppy, CD, Sata, Other (yes).
Tried legacy and native modes, Sata only and both etc. etc.
Still think the problem is with the floppy. Probably the "txtsetup.oem" file. But Im not enuff of a wizard to edit it proper.

Check the sata configuration in bios.
I set it in auto (it has auto,disabled enhanced and one more option,i don't remember)
or a 848p neo2-v board and it worked!
If you don't see it recognised by your bios it won't be recognised by windows either!
So don't bother letting it start the boot from cd unless you can see your drive in the bios.
What i suggest is that you continuously press delete at boot,
go into bios, change some settings, press F10, reboot,press delete again and if you still
don't see your drive,try others settings,press F10 etc.
Go into boot from cd,that is, xp installation ONLY AFTER you can see your drive in bios.

Idea centre B series turns itsself off.

Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone can help? I have an idea centre B520 and when I turn it on it begins to startup but then turns itself off again within a few seconds.
If I turn it on again everything works but very slowly and I now have a long start up time ( twice what it was before this problem)
I wondered if there is anyone who knows why this is happening and how to solve it?
Many thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Thanks for posting and welcome to the Lenovo Community,
I’d like to ask you if you can see that the machine turns off while working on the machine or it would happen only during the booting.
And please share with us if you’ve installed a new software recently that after that you can see that this problem happen with you.
Thanks and Regards,
Soha

Bootcamp Performance Compared to 'real' Windows Install?

I am considering buying a Mac but want to continue using Windows mainly for games and to use my existing Photoshop licence.
Can someone tell me if the bootcamp performance of Windows is as good as a 'real' Windows install - especially from a graphical point of view?

Now that is something to compare against.
It depnds on game somewhat, too, right?
The Core i7 has more headroom and bandwidth to drive today's graphics.
The iMac is still dual-core and not sure but it was last year's Penryn based processor and not Bloomfield (i7) Nehalem - yet.
Now though you can look through some game benchmarks and scores, and see though I think your 8800GTS still holds its own. And that I would wait for a refresh of the iMac line. We know Intel has Lynnfield and 32nm Nehalem on tap for this fall/winter.
You can get an idea where GT1xx graphics fall into the Nehalem tests, my guess is down-grade from your GTS8800.

I'd want W7 64-bit, and it is possible but Apple has never officially supported 64-bit Vista on iMac surprisingly, and therefore the chipset drivers install but an extra step or two.

Can I plug a desk top computer into my Idea Centre A310, and if so how?

I have an Idea Centre which has a great screen, but the centre is running so slowly despite my local pc fixer doing his best to clean it up and using an external HD for most files including photos. So I was wonder if I bought a desk top pc only with say 6-8gb RAM and 1TB HD, could I connect this to the centre just to use the monitor only and if so how? I would get my pc fixer guy to transfer all the info I required off the centre to the desk top pc.

Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
I'm not an owner of your model and I could be wrong, but....... Your A310 does have an HDMI IN port which you should be able to use to receive the video signal from another computer that has an HDMI OUT port. The problem I see is the HDMI IN port on the A310 wouldn't be a direct signal to the display. The signal would need to be processed by the A310 before it is displayed on the screen and if you are not happy with the A310 performance I suspect it would effect the display from the second computer as well.
Have you ever had your A310 checked for viruses ? Or was the performance not to your liking since it was new ?

Factory reset, Windows install stucks at dowork.cmd

Hy!Recently I had to factory reset my TPT2 32Gb. The boot list was perfect, after i plugged the usb stick and started the device, the recovery software was launched and soon after the windows install. The windows install stucked at a point
. There is a window, Windows Setup at the top of it, it says:Windows is now setting up the following items:(checkmark) C:\SWWORK\BCD08.CMD(checkmark) C:\DRIVERS\DPINST.CMD
C:\SWWORK\DOWORK.CMD (with bold font, i assume, here stucked the whole thing)
C.\SWWORK\FINISH.CMD And also a cmd.exe command window with the last two line: c:\windows\system32>c:\SWWORK\STATE.EXE /disk=c /w 1C:\WINDOWS\system32> if exist c:\swwork\fixletr.cmd call c:\swwork\fixletr.cmd During this process, the restoreing USB stick is plugged in. Please help, i dont have a slightest idea what to do!

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have a fix to this? I'm also stuck ay DOWORK.CMD. I've tried to restore my computer several times but I always get stuck at this point. Below is a screen capture of my problem and in the CMD box, the last 2 messages translate to "File not found":

Firefox slow on new Windows install/Flash player crashes, how to fix?

On my new windows install I found Firefox to be very slow compared to how it was before the my new Windows install.
Opening most webpages takes way longer than it should, i excluded my internet connection being the problem as i always get 100/100 Mbps (speedtest) results.
I already :
-reinstalled Flashplayer, wich didnt solve the problem.
-Did a Firefox refresh (as in: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-health-report-says-your-browser-is-slow )
-Tried setting the ipv6 boolean (network.dns.disableIPv6) in about:config to true.
-Disabling plugins (user installed ones)
-Clearing flashplayer cache
-Reinstall videocard driver
I'm at a loss what could possibly be the problem, hopefully someone else has an idea how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance

Do you ever see messages that scripts are running slowly with Stop/Continue options?
Another common troubleshooting step for Flash on Windows Vista and newer is to disable the plugin's protected mode feature. That feature has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. There is a new hidden setting for this:
(A) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(B) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''flash''' and pause while the list is filtered
(C) Double-click the '''dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode''' preference to switch its value from false to true.
This might not take effect until all Flash has been unloaded for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.
Before that preference was added, the way to disable protected mode was by creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different approaches for that if it turns out to be necessary (if Flash EXE processes continue to show up in the Windows Task Manager, Processes tab, even after changing the Firefox preference):
* Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
* Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
* Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078 (alternate version of Carm's batch file with a few changes by me: [https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=f7d304d92388737d&id=F7D304D92388737D!336&ithint=file,.bat&authkey=!AP2FXW2Y_3BXZyo])
Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.
Any improvement?
