Disable RAID U330 Touch

I have just bought myself a U330 Touch with the intention of installing Debian on it, in common with all my other computers.
My intention was to install on the 16GB SSD that is paired with the 500GB disk. 16GB is plenty big enough for linux.
My question is how do I disable the RAID on the SSD so that I can partition the system? There doesn't appear to be any option in the BIOS setup. I have a Debian Live running and that cannot see the SSD.

Hi TusonP,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to inform you that the partitions cannot be created unless and until UEFI setting in the BIOS is not disabled, restart the computer and press “F2” to enter BIOS and then in “Boot” windows disable UEFI to and new OS (Operating System) can be installed, however it is not recommended to create partitions as it may affect the “Hidden Recovery Partition” preset in the computer and the OKR (One Key Recovery) button will not work as expected.
Hope this helps!!!
Do post us back if the issue still persists.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

U330 touch windows 7 downgrade cache ssd

Hi, ordered a u330 touch and it comes preloaded with win 8, need to install win 7 64bit.
Read a few posts here and other sites that they are having issues setting up the cache Ssd through the Intel rapid storage software (accelerate tab missing)
It requires raid to be enabled on the BIOS does the u330 support raid?
Has anyone managed to get the cache sad working on win 7 ?
Thanks

hi neovo-88,
Upon checking the specs, the caching method used by the U330 Touch is Expresscache. To test if Expresscache s working, open a command prompt and type eccmd -info. It should return a result like this:

The Expresscache feature is a proprietary software that's preloaded on the machine so there's no guarantee that it will work on another version of Windows. However, you may try to follow this guide on how to re-install it.
As for the caching software via the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (acceleration tab), this will not work as it requires RAID to be enabled in the BIOS (which the system doesn't have).

Hope this helps

Cannot install windows 7 (downgrade from Windows 8.1 on Lenovo U330 Touch)

Hello.
I wanted to downgrade my new Lenovo U330 Touch from Windows 8.1 to Windows 7 (x64 Home Premium). I followed the instructions from this previous forum post...
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/U330-Touch-Downgrading-to-Windows-7/m-p/15...
I accidentally deleted the partition with Windows 8.1 on it by mistake. Good riddance to it.
Now, when I try to install Windows 7 from the boot sequence, I get the message saying that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style".
How do I install Windows 7 please?

U330 touch screen randomly not working

My laptop is U330 touch. Recently, I found that my touch screen function randomly works. When I start my computer, it works but when I put my computer asid, after the turning off of display, the touch screen cannot work. And then I turn the computer off or turn to sleep and restart, the touch screen works again. Is that there any setting goes wrong? Can anyone teach me how to solve this problem?

Do you have a screen protector applied in which case try peeling it back?
If there is very high humidity where you are it might be worth immersing device in bowl of dry rice for 24 hours as in this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=44517

U330 Touch - SSD Question

Hi, I recently bought a U330 Touch i7. I hadn't realized that it shipped with a HDD/SSD combination drive. When I booted it up I found the main OS installed on the HDD along with a load of other applications, then on the SSD drive was only McAfee and a load of drivers. The HDD is 500GB (or near enough) and the SSD 25GB. The unit is ST500LM000-1EJ162. THe SSD appears as a separate driver in file explorer but seems to be a partition of the main HDD in disk utility.
I have a couple of questions that I can't seem to find answers to by looking around on the site:
1. Should I just install the applications I am most likely to use straight onto the SSD - so MS Office, Chrome, Unity and a couple of steam games - assuming the benefit on having them on the SSD is going to be worth it.
2. I was told by someone it might be a hybrid drive and the migration of software from the HDD to SSD would be handled by some software. Is it a hybrid drive?
3. Can I actually reinstall the OS directly on the SSD and would the benefit be worth the hassle of the reinstall?
4. If I do re-install can I get the installation files for the OS and associated software that shipped with the machine from Lenovo direct?
Sorry for so many questions, but its my first SSD and there seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

You don't want to use the WD as the recovery drive, you want to use a flash drive. Recovery and the factory load should fit on a 16 Gb flash drive. This will be used to refresh or repair the OS if you ever have the problem of not being able to boot.
The WD should be used to backup your current configuration since it will be so large. As you do Windows updates and install more programs and save more files, this backup should be replaced on the WD on a regular basis.
The recovery flash drive will only be used to boot and install the original OS that your machine came with, or to repair or refresh the OS. Then you will use the backup from the WD to put the current OS back on.
Once you make the flash drive, I would test it to make sure it boots and goes into the recovery environment.
Again, the WD will only be used for backing up your current configuration and should be updated regularly.
I've never tried to use an external hard drive as a recovery drive, it might or might not work. The instructions are pretty specific so I doubt that it will
You're welcome to try it though.

There are two controllers on some of the Neo boards. One is in the onboard periferals in Integrated Periferals area and the other (Via is out in the open). It is usually the hidden Promise controller that causes the delay.

Ideapd U330 touch gibt hochfrequente Geräusche ab (fiepen)

Hallo ihr,
das Ideapad U330 Touch meiner Freundin fiept. Man hört es nicht allzu laut, aber natürlich, wenn man alleine im Raum ist. Woran könnte das liegen, was ist zu tun? Lüfter läuft nicht, und es ist eine SSD verbaut. Auch das Netzteil ist nicht angeschlossen.
Danke und viele Grüße, Joner
Edit by Mod: Betreff etwas geändert
Gelöst!
Gehe zu Lösung.

Hallo Joner,
Danke für deine Anfrage.
Deine Beschreibung des hochfrequenten Pfeifftons weist auf folgende möglich Komponenten hin:
- Lüfter
- Festplatte/SSD
- Netzteil
- Grafikkarte oder Mainboard hin.
Du kannst also nur ein Ausschlußverfahren durchführen oder direkt unseren technischen Support kontaktieren.
