Clean install Windows 8.1 Lenovo TPT 2

I have a thinkpad tablet 2 that crashed when updating to 8.0 to 8.1. I don't have a recovery key. I'm attempting to load windows 8.1 enterprise 32bit onto the tablet I've got it loaded on via a bootable USB key. However after booting to windows 8.1 the touch screen does not work and I'm forced to use the keyboard/mouse via a usb hub I've loaded all drivers from the lenovo site also and still many devices show up in device manager as "unknown device"
Can anyone help me with this? Am I doing something wrong or is there a driver that needs to be updated for touch screen functionality? Is there a procedure that can be used to do a stock restore from windows 8.1 enterprise recovery media?

Did you ever get all to work???? We have the same issue you do....Nothing works with a stock Windows 8 or 8.1 install...No WIFI or BT or Touch and a lot other stuff bunked up...The IO drivers crash before they finish install and turn off the back light...The leveno tablet 2 is a frienkistien of off brand hardware I think....But if you could walk us through how you fixed your issue of a clean install we will post it for all to see...With pictures

  • Some issues after clean installing windows 7 pro 64bit

    Hi,
    I have a couple of issues, I clean installed windows 7 pro, 64bit, (vanilla) restored my license with ABR and used system update to download all the drivers. (no issues until here) But after restarting the system, I found this issues:
    1. I have to put the bios in legacy mode for system to boot. Otherwise it gives me a "no operating system found" message. Is there any way to make a proper installation for the system to boot in UEFI and LEGACY?
    2. System update didn't install thinkvantage center. (the program that stays in the taskbar). Should this be installed manually? Or system update should have installed it?
    3*. I can not use lenovo driver page of my x120e. In IE it shows me repeatedly the wizard to choose my model, although I enter the correct info there. It starts all over again and again. Tried opera, I can see the drivers page, but I can't browse, or expand none of the sections. (all I can think of this, do I need java for the page to work?)
    3*. UPDATE: After installing IE 9, java and flash player, still not working. Opera too. Google Chrome works fine.           What's the matter with IE and OPERA? What component do I need to make IE work with lenovo drivers download page?
    Can anyone help me? Never had to deal with these issues.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    Have you tried wiping the hard disk drive and reinstalling Windows 7 Professional x64 from the factory recovery discs while the BIOS is set to UEFI?  If so, did that work?

  • Clean Install Windows 7 on Y470

    I am planning to clean install Windows 7 on my Y470 using the Product Recovery Disc. But, I noticed that there are 4 partition on my hard disk, OEM partition, another partition (stated: System, active, primary partition), C drive and D drive. Can I delete all the partition to clean install Windows 7? I particularly confused on the first two partition, OEM partition and another partition (stated: System, active, primary partition).

  • G505 How to do a Clean Install Windows 8.1 Core instead of Windows 8.0 Core?

    Hi,
    I have G505 with Widows 8.0 core installed. I would like to do a clean install of Windows 8.1 core. So I installed but it ask for the activation key which I do not have. I thought we can use the same activation key for Windows 8.1 core. How do you activate it if it is possible.
    Or do I have to install Windows 8.0 core and then upgrade to Windows 8.1. Unfortunately I do not have a copy of Windows 8.0 core.
    Thanks for any help.

    hi magi44ken,
    This might be because the WInodws 8.1 installer you used is a retail version and not an OEM from Lenovo.
    The path should be Windows 8.0 then upgrade it. this way the Key inside the BIOS will be recognized and reactivated.
         Try Doing a Onekey Recovery and see if the Recovery Partition is still active to revert the system back to Windows 8.0. Turn off the computer and hit the Movo button , see if recovery will be available.
    If not, you will need to call Lenovo Technical Support to Obtain a copy of the Windows 8.0 install, (fees may apply).

  • Thinkpad Twist S230u: Clean Install - Windows 8 on Custom Partition

    I want to install Windows 8 using my own partition configuration, meaning where I'd get a C and a D drive. On my other computers, this is what I have and I really like this configuration. I want to install Windows 8 on the C drive and have all my data on D. I have reformatted and partitioned the HDD to C and D. When I slot in Windows 8 Enterprise to install, I keep getting this message "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one." What the machine keeps wanting is for me to delete both partitions and create its own partitions and I don't want this. I know it wants this because I have clicked delete of the partitions and looked to see what it would do. It ended up creating several of its own partitions (not at all how I want it). When I re-partitioned the drive back to C and D (2 partition config), it would repeat that same error message.
    Can someone please help tell me how do I install Windows 8 doing my own custom partition (C, D) where Win 8 is installed onto my choice of C and D is left for my data. Why does it keep saying, "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one"? Is it a settings in BIOS that I need to change to enable me to use my own partition? If so, what setting? I have never had these issues installing Win 8 using the C & D partition config on 3 other computers (not Lenovo S230u Twist).
    Thanks for your help!!! :-)

    Hello LightspeedX!
    I glad you wrote this issue cause i still having the same problem (and questions).
    I decided to put everithing down on my s230u because it is quietly irritant see a last generation porcessor like the I7 on a top plataform ultrabook running so slowly like our thinkpad do.
    Since the embed software and the poor resource planning is the resposable for that issue, i really cant imagine why Lenovo decide to bring all this things up together at this device. I realize that any cheap I3 china device is more confortable and "quickly" to run any software than this machine in his original state (factory defaults), so i decid to try a brand new and clean installation of windows 8 or (perhaps) a dual boot configuration using a linux frindly distro like ubuntu.
    At my own risc, like the cusummer service like to say, i will erase all HD and start this "saga" (making a full hard copy first, of course and will soon bring any results i found here.

  • Error In Installing Windows XP in Lenovo G560

    Hi,
    I am using lenovo G560 with Windows 7. Now i don't want to use it any more. so i decide to install Windows XP like normally in Desktops as i had used desktops only.
    Boot from CD and windows Set started with loading files....in middle it stops by showing Blue Screen of Death I am not sure about it why is come.
    Please suggest how to install Windows XP to replace windows 7 in lenovo G560
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello everyone!
    I am using Lenovo G460, i guess it is not that different from G560 for the purposes of this discussion.
    I had the same problem with a blue screen. I changed settings in BIOS from AHCI to Compatible and installed XP. After that I updated BIOS from within the XP, installed all the drivers, including the AHCI driver from Lenovo website.
    Then, I go back to BIOS and change settings from Compatible to AHCI, and I get the blue screen again.
    Ok, i don't know anything about NCQ and hot swapping, which I read about on wikipedia, and which i suppose are supported by AHCI, but my question is:
    Should i now always stay with my settings as Compatible in BIOS and, therefore, never be able to use such features as NCQ and hot swapping? I repeat, that I don't know anything about AHCI or Compatible mode, but I figure that AHCI is better.
    Please help me in finding the answer, whether to stay on Compatible and forget about AHCI, or may be there is some way to solve the problem for XP users with AHCI mode.
    Thank you very much.

  • Booklet: clean install Windows 7 Starter on Kingst...

    I bought a Kingston SSDNow V+180 SVP180S2/64G 64GB to replace the original HDD.
    I had a lot of trouble cloning the drive (or actual the restore operation). Both restoring the Windows partition and the System partition failed.
    I decide to start from scratch and just execute a clean install of Windows 7 Starter.
    The advantage of this way is you only need a 4 Gb USB  Flash Drive and no other hardware (besides the new 1.8 SSD...) This guide is also very useful when the original HDD is broken (and no system restore is available).
    Ingredients (where to obtain is explained below):
    - 1.8" SSD
    - USB Flash Drive (minimum) 4Gb
    - Windows 7 key of Booklet
    - Windows 7 ISO file (x86 version)
    - Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool
    - Nokia Booklet Drivers
    The Windows 7 key of the booklet can be found behind the battery. Just remove the battery pack and there is the original Microsoft Windows 7 product key.
    As the Nokia Booklet doesn't have a DVD-ROM and it's not supplied with the Windows 7 DVD, you can download the Windows 7 ISO file from here (make sure it’s the x86 version):
    http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/msvista/pub/X15-65804/X15-65804.iso
    I got this information from here:  http://mrintech.com/download-iso-file-create-dvd-activate-windows-7-x86-and-x64-with-genuine-product...
    I also executed the "Remove Edition Configuration (EI.cfg) File from Windows 7 ISO", but wait until proceeding; I will come back to that...
    Also download the Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool from here:
    http://images2.store.microsoft.com/prod/clustera/framework/w7udt/1.0/en-us/Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe (When the link is broken, just use Google).
    Please note: nothing illegal is going on downloading this software!
    Install and execute the Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool.
    When asked, select the ISO as source and the USB Flash Drive as target.
    The tool formats the USB Flash Drive and the files are copied to it as well.
    (I executed this on a Windows 7 machine, but I don't expect differences when executed on a XP machine).
    When the tool is ready do the following.
    Search on the USB Flash Drive for the file "ei.cfg"
    I used the tool to remove this file from the ISO, but it was back on the Flash Drive .
    You will have to remove it otherwise Windows 7 Home is installed (result: you can't use the original Booklet key).
    How to replace the HDD for the SSD can be found over here:
    http://pc-level.com/2011/07/how-to-disassemble-nokia-booklet-3g/
    Plug the USB Flash Drive into the Nokia Booklet and power the Booklet up.
    Hit the F12 button and select the USB Flash Drive to boot from.
    When asked, select Windows 7 Starter to install.
    The installation takes a while, but in the end you will see the Windows 7 desktop and are almost ready.
    It's very important to disable TRIM and you will see a an excellent performance increase when you execute the following:
    Open the command prompt (for example):
    Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
    type:
    fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 1
    To check whether TRIM is disabled execute:
    fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify
    The result should be: 1
    Reboot the booklet, just to be sure.
    Install the drivers from Nokia: http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/booklet-3g/software 
    Execute a Windows Update.
    The Windows Experience Index shows me 5.9 with the SSD.

    Don't worry Reserter, your English is ok 
    Concerning your problem two things come to mind:
    - did you disable TRIM? It's very important to disable this option because the chipset can't handle TRIM. After I disabled TRIM a serious improvement was noticeable.
    - the reason of the clean install initially was because I wanted a SSD (solid state drive) instead of a HDD (hard disk drive). The factory installed HDD is slow and a SSD drive improves performance of the Nokia Booklet dramatically.
    I would consider to buy a 1.8" SSD... The booklet starts up in an acceptable time and is really useful as a netbook now. (buy an enclosure for the original HDD and you have external storage as well).

  • 15-f010wm unable to clean install Windows 8.1 on Crucial M500 SSD

    I have a new 15-f010wm laptop I got from walmart's black friday deal.   I have a 240GB crucial M500 ssd I have already installed.
    The problem is Windows 8.1 setup will not see the drive.   Windows 7 sees it just fine.
    What I've tried:
    - updated firmware on SSD
    - upgraded laptop BIOS to latest from f.03 to f.12
    - enable "legacy" mode in bios
    - enable / disable xHCI support
    - tried to load AHCI driver from HP's website (This is the storage driver from the driver page for this laptop)
    - format GPT
    - format NTFS
    - Remove all partitions and volumes with diskpart
    - Tried to upgrade windows 7 clean install to Windows 8.1 via DVD.  Upon reboot setup fails to see drive, reboots into Winows 7
    I simply cannot get Windows 8.1 setup to see this drive no matter what I try.   Again,  Windows 7 sees it just fine... in fact, I am creating this thread on the laptop in question with Windows 7 installed on the SSD in question.  The hardware is working fine.

    @sledparty 
    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post ( serial numbers and case details).

  • Is it possible to install Windows 98 on Lenovo R61? (Without Virtual PC)

    Hi all,
    Just wondering whether I can install Windows 98 on a standard stock R61 8918-5KM series?
    I had purchased this notebook quite some time ago, but would like to go back into just having Windows 98 installed natively seeing I have a large collection of software which are not suited to OS's after XP or even XP for that mater. The system originally had VISTA but I downgraded to XP Pro seeing nothing really worked. With XP Pro I'm still  having problems.
    I have Windows 98 original and Windows 2000 original with XP/VISTA being the rescue and recovery CD pack which was ordered from Lenovo. HOWEVER, when going through the drivers support area, I can't seem to find the relavent drivers necessary for all the installed devices for either 98/2000.
    Is it possible to obtain these from Lenovo or would I need to go to the respective companies to obtain these?

    Hi Titang4ppc,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    As per the query you are looking for Installation of Windows 98 OS on your ThinkPad R61.
    I am sorry to inform you that there are no drivers available for Windows 98 OS, you can install Windows XP and drivers are available for that.
    Hope this helps.

  • Installing windows 7 on Lenovo G500 without losing preinstalled windows 8

    I want to keep the preinstalled version of windows 8 and install windows 7 too but after a few hours of research the only sugestion in every method is choosing one of the versions. Is there any way I can keep both?

    Hi Touctzba,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    I understand your concern, Lenovo does not recommend multi boot OS (Operating System) as the computer pre-installed applications are programmed to perform on single Windows platform to provide the best performance as per OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). I would suggest you to create a Recovery Drive for Windows 8 using the below link and then installing other OS.
    How to Create a USB Recovery Drive and Use it to Recover Windows 8/8.1?

  • Clean install windows 8 on Ideapad U310

    Hi guys,
    I have purchased Ideapad U310 couple of months back with Windows 7 home premium installed. Recently I availed the offer. While trying to make a fresh install of Windows 8 I noticed the C drive is not detected. I could not find any solutions to make a smooth & clean install of Windows 8 and will my laptop work without a glitch. Please advise, I am lost.
    Cheers,

    In Windows Setup your drives won't be lettered at all. All you get is the partition number (if your laptop is fully stock then the C:\ drive SHOULD be disk 0, part 1) and the size. The drives are mounted as letters within Windows.

  • How to install Windows 7 on Lenovo S300

    Hi, I bought Lenovo s300, and it has come with Windows8. However I would like to install Windows 7.
    I make bootable on USB, but I cant manage to boot up from it. What I should select in BIOS.
    What is the best way to arrange partitions. I have SSD 24gb. Is it possible to install windows on SSD, and leave HDD as storage?

    Hi Branko,
    Ok First off
    Check your BIOS by tapping F2 on startup Make sure under Configuration Tab the SATA Controller is set for RAID
    Installation:
      Set your computer to Boot on your USB drive(Where your Windows 7 installer is and start the Set up as Normal)
    - You will reach a point where it will ask you where to install your windows 7
     If it shows none "Like no HDD or SSD Being Detected" Then Download and extract this to a separate USB Drive(using another computer).then plug it in to your S300. Then on the Windows 7 installation click Browse, go to that USB drive and to the folder where you placed that downloaded file, Windows will identify it, make sure it is clicked and click Next.  Then all of your drives and respective partitions will appear.
               - Delete Partitions On your SSD and HDD
               - Create your Partition on the HDD and Install Windows on your HDD then continue and complete as Normal Installation and Reboot.
    -You should have Windows 7 booting from your HDD from this point-
    Download and install Rapid Storage from the link I provided Above.
    Now Launch the Intel Rapid Storage Technology."  This can be found in your Start Menu under the Intel folder.  It should be automatically set up to accelerate your main drive.  You will also see it has identified your SSD as the proper size, 24GB (24GB).
    If not, it is relatively easy to set up.  Choose the drive you want to accelerate, and the SSD you want to use as cache. 
    then your done Caching the HDD to your SSD and make sure to install All driver from Support.lenovo.com.
    Rapid Start this is optional if you want to set that up Just follow this method again and continue starting from the Rapidstart part.
     Hope this helps,

  • Installing windows 7 on Lenovo T440s

    Hello guys,
    I'm having a problem to install windows 7 pro on my Lenovo t440s ( that came with windows 8 ) using a memory stick.
    I went to the windows 7 installation menu and formatted the Windows 8 partition, so now I have :
    Disk 0 Partition 1: WINRE_DRV 1GB OEM
    Disk 0 Partition 2 : System_DRV 260MB System
    Disk 0 Partition 3 128MB MSR
    Disk 0 Unnallocated Space 225GB ( it was the old windows 8 partition )
    Disk 0 Partition 4: Lenovo_Recory 12.1GB OEM 
    However, when i try to use the free space to install the windows 7 i get this error :
    " Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partitions style. " 
    I tried to bot using Legacy Boot Only and after using UEFI/Legacy Boot and nothing changed, I'm still receiving the same error.
    I read that I have to select each of the partitions on the drive, and select Delete. Then the drive will show a single area of unallocated space that I should use to install windows.
    My question is, there is any problem in delete all my partitions of Lenovo T440s? Can I delete the OEM partitions?
    What will happen after?
    Thank you for the attention.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    IIRC, you need to use UEFI with a GPT partitioned disk.
    If you wanted to keep Windows 8, you should have made recovery disks before nuking it. Otherwise, just nuke the partition table and start from scratch with either Legacy + MBR or UEFI + GPT.
