BIOS setup menu is missing in my G580 after installing fedora....

Dear sir,
I bought a Lenovo G580 [59337032] laptop about a month ago.
It had no OS installed. I installed Fedora 17 in it.
But after installing Fedora, I can't be able to access the BIOS setup menu by pressing F2.
And also my boot order rearranged.
While pressing F12 during boot, the boot devices list appears.
But the first entry is Fedora, 2nd is Ethernet, 3rd is HDD, 4th is DVD drive.
I found a similar problem in this forum. But the solution [disconnect the HDD and press F2 during boot]
of that problem did not work in my case.
I also deleted the recovery partion of lenovo.
My BIOS version is 62CN34WW
How can I fix my BIOS? 
Now my OS is Windows7.

Dear Sirs!
Have the absolutely same problem with one difference - installed OS was Ubuntu 9.04.
According to recomendation HDD mode was setted as "сompatible" (IDE). After rearranging
disk to 3 parts: /, /swap and /user/home and setting up system I have find that BIOS setup
are unaccessible and system won't boot up (Non system disk error).
From LiveCD and USB, both Ubuntu and Windows XP SP3 system boots and work fine,
HDD read/write accesible.
Local serviceman told, that they have no possibility to reprogram BIOS flash by themselves
and it will take 2-3 month to obtain new motherboard or whole laptop for exchange. This is
absolutely unacceptable for me, because my job depends on the health of the laptop.
Laptop Lenovo G580, BIOS version 62CN34WW
Thanks in advance for cooperation!

  • Missing InDesign plug-ins after installing on new machine running WIN 7

    After installing Adobe InDesign CS3 (version 5.0) on a new computer running Windows 7 Professional, InDesign cannot open a file I created 30 days ago on a machine running the same version of InDesign and Windows XP Professional.  I repeat, there have been no changes in InDesign versions !!
    The error message indicates a boat load of plug-ins are missing.  The first error message indicates WORLDREADY.RPLN and CONDITIONALTEXT.RPLN were missing.  After clicking OK, the second error message indicates these plug-ins are missing: ASSIGNMENTS.RPLN, TEXT.RPLN, SPREAD.RPLN, MASTERPAGE.RPLN, IMAGE.RPLN, TEXTATTRIBUTES.RPLN, GENERICPAGEITEM.RPLN, TEXTWRAP.RPLN, CJKTEXTATTRIBUTES.RPLN, SCRIPTING.RPLN, LINKS.RPLN, INCOPYSHARED.RPLN, XLM.RPLN, CJKGRID.RPLN, TOC.RPLN, INDEXING.RPLN, HPERLINKS.RPLN, PACKAGEANDPREFLIGHT.RPLN, WORKGROUP.RPLN, APPFRAMEWORK.RPLN, and DOCUMENTFRAMEWORK.RPLN.
    From the Help menu within InDesign, I click Updates.  A series of updates for all my Adobe software were installed, bringing inDesign CS3 to version 5.0.4 yet
    InDesign still refuses to open my previously created file.
    The only other suggestion your help files suggest is upgrading my inDesign software to CS5 to which my company will not agree.
    HELP !!!!

    The file properties are shown in the attached screen shot indicating InDesign CS3 was used not CS4 or CS5.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

  • Missing MSVCR80.dll file after installing the latest itunes update

    Does anyone know if Apple has posted a new download yet to rectify the problem of the missing MSVCR80dll file problem, caused by the last iTunes update? If not, what is the answer? I've tried repairing and unistalling and re-installing itunes and the old version of itunes and nothing seems to fix the problem. I don't feel inclined to spend loads of time trying to sort a problem caused a supposedly safe download, in fact should we not download the latest versions until they have had time to filter out problems like this?

  • Cannot see menu items on database home page after install of beta3

    I have installed XE beta 3 in a Windows 2000 SP4 VM. Install went fine and I can get to the home page without issue. However, I cannot see the items when I use the pulldown menus. If I move the mouse cursor over them, it is possible to select although I dotn know what I am selecting!
    Has anyone experienced this problem, or does anyone have any idea what is causing it?
    Many thanks,
    Rob

    I am running VMware Workstation 5.5 for Windows XP.
    I have a Windows 2000 VM established, with SP4 applied.
    The VM is running IE 5. I have no other browsers installed. I am not able to install XE anywhere else at present, due to resource limitations.
    Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. Next week I will install onto a "real" Windows 2000 environment, but would like to get this one working sooner than that.
    Thanks for your response.
    Cheers, Rob

  • Missing CD/DVD drive after installing iTunes w/ Windows Vista

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4427 laptop. The problem I am having is when I install iTunes my CD/DVD drive disappears. The drive is listed in the device mananger but it is corrupt ( yellow triangle). I can restore the drive by going back to system restore before iTunes was installed.It was sugested by Toshiba that I wait for the Windows Vista/ iPod fix. It has been sometime and there has been no word of a fix. I just bought my laptop in march and my iPod last month and I can not use it unless I load all of music one time and do a systems restore and loose it. It has become very fustrating as all the hot fixes do not apply to Vista but XP. I really need some support from someone. Microsoft charges 95 bucks a hour ( I think) and Toshiba says it is a Apple/Windows problem.
    Thanks-

    Here is the Diagnostics for my drive. I want to make a correction to my last post. I am only showing lower filters in the Redgit.

  • Cant enter Bios Setup with K8N Diamond

    Anyone know whats going wrong here ....
    K8N Diamond (Bios 1.7), Athlon64 3700+, 2 x 1Gb Corsair XMS-PRO 3200, ATI x300 PCI-E Graphics, 2 x WD 74GB Raptors in Raid 0 on Nvidia Raid, 1 x Samsung 120gb SATA drive on Sil controller. Running Windows x64 on the WD Raid setup and Win2k on the Samsung drive.
    Everything running at stock speeds/voltages etc.
    Both Windows x64 and Win2k are running stable - absolutely no problems at all. (Use F11 at bootup to select bootup option).
    Problem is that I cant get into the bios setup. Pressing F2 at startup just makes the system hang. Anyone any ideas.
    cheers
    Kryten

    Hello !
    I am not really sure, but wasn´t the "Delete" key the way to enter Bios Setup Menu ??
    If not i am sorry.......try another Brand of Keyboard. Cahnaging from USB to PS/2 Keyboard could also help.

  • G580 Laptop BIOS setup not starting

    Hello,I've a Lenovo G580 Laptop (2nd Gen PDC B960, 2 GB, 500 GB, DOS) When I bought it came pre-installed DOS, and then I install Windows 7 ultimate (32-bit, i didn't know at that time, 2nd gen PDC are 64-bit). My friend recommend me to disable UEFI from boot setup before installing any non-genuine OS, so I did disable that. My laptop is working fine, but all of a sudden it started to do random mouse freezes, surprisingly pressing ALT+F4 works like a charm to make mouse work again (by mouse I mean pointer actually, I'm using Touchpad, i don't think its a h/w related issue)I think may be it's because any virus/malware or whatever that was, and also I was planning to change my OS to Windows 8 (it's after 10-11 month of purchase date), so I decided to format anyway, instead messing up with mouse freeze problem.
    Now strange thing happen at this point -I'm not able to start my BIOS setup, nor able to use quick boot option (to select various bootable device option from list)I try to press recovery key (small button near power button), that open recovery module properly (no glitch/error).
    but unfortunately I don't have any backup made previously so no use of recovery module.and then I restart my laptop, then I press F2, it shows the first screen of BIOS menu, but my system stuck there (unresponsive state), i've no option else directly turning it off by holding power key for few seconds,..and then no boot menu F2, F12 still unresponsive.means whenever i open recovery module it able to open F2 menu (not F12) but that stuck too.
    else it just completely ignore F2, F12I'm not a computer noob (not flaunting), but I spend last 4-5 hours looking for a solution for it, but couldn't find any solution by myself.
    although my laptop is not in not working state. somehow I manage to install windows 8, but it's really weird that I can not access BIOS menu, my laptop is no longer in warranty period so I can experiment with it any way I want. 

    Hi envolt,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that G580 is not entering the BIOS menu and hanging at BIOS menu it at all it enters it, performing flee power should resolve the issue; below are is the step to perform Flee Power.
    Remove the battery and any other peripheral device connected to the computer. Hold the power button for 10 seconds and then connect only the AC Adapter and try to turn ON the computer and enter BIOS menu.
    If the issue persists even after performing Flee Power, I would Strongly Suggest Calling Technical Support for Assistance this is the only available option to get this query resolved, Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number, I’m sure they will be a great help.
    Do post us back if the issue still persists.
    Best Regards

  • Missing Quick Start features option in BIOs setup

    I would like to enable Quick Start in Ideapad S10-3s.  But the Lenovo Quick Start features option is not available in the BIOs configuration.
    I upgraded the BIOs to the latest version, still do not have the Quick Start features option in the BIOS configuration menu.
    Is there a hardware problem with the Ideapad?

    it's probably hardware. it's actually linux operation system and comes with pre-loaded operation system. did you make any changes on volumes?

  • Bios Setup using WMI (WMI is missing)

    Hi, I am trying to make changes to the bios using the information found here:
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?Legacy​DocID=MIGR-68488
    However, on a refurb L430 that we just bought through the "http://outlet.lenovo.com/" site, the WMI class does not exist.  I am making the call from C#.  I also tried running the supplied sample scripts and they do not work either.  So then I checked   Computer -> Manage -> Services and Applications -> WMI Control -> Properties -> Security and browsed to Root/WMI and the class "Lenovo_BIOSElement" does not exist there.  The only class shown is "ms_409"
    Is there an installer for the Lenovo WMI class?  Is this supposed to be present on all of the supported devices listed in the "Lenovo BIOS Setup using Windows Management Instrumentation Deployment Guide"?  Are the WMI calls no longer supported?  
    Thanks
    -Mike
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I think I got it working somehow...
    I modified the C# method to use the class "Lenovo_BIOSSetting" instead of "Lenovo_BiosElement".
    When running my executable, I first got access denied.  I reran it as administrator and was able to view all of the 80 management instances.  I then reran the script "ListAll.vbs" and now it is populating properly.

  • Help- lost bios setup disk

    Where can i download the bios setup disk for my neo-2 FISR motherboard. I lsot it before i finished building my comp and now it boots up in japanese with some error and says missing NTLDR or something. i need to set my bios up thanks.

    Go Here and follow the instructions exactly. It describes how to make a bootable floppy and add the Bios image.
    Before you do that though, Are you not able to hit delete on boot-up and enter the Bios. If it's set to Japanese, enter the first menu on the left and the first menu AFTER the date/time gives language options. This is on a 875P board but if it's the AMI Bios it should be similar.

  • Yoga 3 Pro - Accessing BIOS, boot menu and System Recovery

    The following tutorial will explain the following topics
    How to access the BIOS Setup
    Choosing a boot menu
    Start a system recovery
    It is not the idea to explain every single option of the above, since many of them are complex and it would be too extensive for such a tutorial like this. 
    To execute any of the tasks above you need to press the button marked with the red arrow in the picture below:
    Press the button when the Y3P is off! Use a small pointing device, I use the tablet pen of one of my Thinkpad tablets
    Once you press the button you will be presented with the following screen:
    Use the cursor keys to move up and down, press Enter to choose an option.
    1) BIOS Setup
    The BIOS is where you can get technical information about your device, as well to change boot parameters and setting up security passwords. Be very careful when changing certain values, since it can affect the way the Y3P works and/or affect performance and security settings.
    Information Screen
    It gives the hardware details of the Y3P, like CPU, installed RAM, SSD capacity and so on. This is a display only screen, no settings can be changed here:
    Configuration Screen
    Time and date can be changed in this screen. Furthermore to deactivate the Wireless LAN and enable the Intel Virtual Technology. If you plan to use Virtual Machine software in your Y3P this setting must be enabled
    Passwords can be set up in this section. Secure Boot settings can be changed here.
    Primarily designed to protect users from rootkits and other malware attacks by blocking unauthorized executables and drivers from being loaded during the boot process, it must be deactivated if you plan to install Linux or having paralel operating systems
    Boot Screen
    Boot modes can be selected in this screen, you can disable booting from a USB stick or from a network for example
    2) Boot Menu
    This option is useful if you have Linux installed (using managers like LILO, GRUB, etc).
    If you only use Win8 or higher there 's no much you can change.
    3) System Recovery
    This option will allow you to restore the system to either its factory setup, or to a previous backup done within Windows
    A factory set up will leave the Y3P as it was shipped from Lenovo your private data and installed apps and/or programs will be wiped out. So make sure you have an external backup before such a reset

    OK article. Doesn't answer my questions.

  • Hard drive and dvd are not recognized in the setup menu, what could be wrong?

    The hard drive and dvd drive are not recognized on the setup menu for my Pavilion a4316f desktop computer.  Could it be a failure of the controller?  Can a PCI controller be used to replace the mother board controller?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The Recovery process would erase you hard drive, and attempt to install a fresh OS. Decidely a bad choice if you wanted to save your data files. The Recovery sets are "tattoo" with the BIOS hardwafre configuration. It will not, IMHO, recognize the PCI Sata card.
    You mentioned the Recovery program on the hard drive actually requested the installer of the controller (PCI card). Try running from that.
