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.

    Windows 2000 has been largely abandoned (and with VERY GOOD reason) why on earth would you want to install that outdated unstable OS?  It's plagued with security issues bugs and BSOD issues from being unsupported so long (even when it WAS supported) chances are no drivers were made compatable with that OS for your machine as XP is a totally different monster you likely would not find drivers for 70+% of your hardware.  I'd 110% advise against even trying it XP is the oldest supported windows OS anymore an even it is about to lose support very VERY soon (if it hasn't yet already).  I can't stress enough how much of a bad idea (and without any advantages by doing so) it would be to even attempt this.

    Hello mmarti,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please ensure you are following the Boot Camp installation guide, as you should be selecting the partition named "BOOTCAMP" when you are at the Windows installer screen.  See page 6 of the following PDF:

  • 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.

  • Error message installing WIndows 32bit on T530

    I have a T530 laptop that I am trying to install WIndows 7 32-bit version from an ISO but I get the following error message right after I click the "Install" button during setup.
    "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now."
    I can not get past this to perform the install.  I have checked several forums and some stated to make sure the CD/DVD rom was placed first in your startup devices (check), pull drivers from lenovo website and try to point the set up to the device drivers (check),  try to redownload the ISO file (check), make sure you have your SATA settings to AHCI (check), try using a USB-DVD ROM (check).  Has anyone else seen or have been able to resolve this issue?
    SIde note: I have tried install Windows 7 64-bit edition and it installed fine on the same machine.

    Hi ncook6, welcome to the forum,
    Do I read your post correctly that you are trying to install from an USB drive? 
    If so have you inserted the USB drive in an USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port?  When installing from USB you must use a USB 2.0 port; Win 7 doesn't have the USB 3.0 drivers, but it does have them for 2.0.

  • Error while installing Windows XP

    I just got my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo. I've updated all the software and firmware, restarted, downloaded BootCamp 1.1.2, burned the Mac drivers CD, and partitioned my hard drive. When I put in my Windows XP Home Edition CD, it seems to install Windows but then suddenly shuts down with an error after attempting to load.
    I've tried restoring the hard drive and re-partitioning with no success. I'm stuck.
    Has anyone encountered this problem? If so, I'd appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you.

    You need Windows XP with Service Pak 2. The version you are installing is probably not the correct version required for Boot Camp. Please read the Boot Camp documentation regarding the required version of XP.

  • Unknown Hard Error when installing Windows XP?

    Ok first off I tried installing Windows Vista Home Premium on my new 24in iMac and after installation had problems installing drivers. Found out it was because I had a 64 bit version of Vista and the iMacs dont support that. Then I got a copy of XP Home Service Pack 3 from a friend to try. Im not sure if it is 32 or 64 bit but I was going to try it anyways. Its starts to extract the files and get ready for the install but not long after it does that it gives me an unknown error and the blue screen of death.
    "STOP: c0000221 Unknown Hard Error
    \SystemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll"
    Does anyone know what this means? I would really like to get one of them installed. I dont care which one...if anyone knows how I can put a 64bit version of Vista on my iMac that would probably be best since it installed fine and just messed up when installing the drivers. Otherwise can anyone tell me what to do about this unknown error? Or do I need to search around for yet another operating system cd?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi KadeP,
    there is indeed not a solution for that CD-problem, since you are getting it when installing from the CD not after the installation, when there is a problem with that specific file on your harddisk.
    So, apart from the checking of the CD for physical problems (dirt, dust, scratches) the only other solution would be the use of another CD and maybe doing a full disc-copy of that CD onto a CD-R or CD-RW and hoping the best.
    As for the Vista procedures the hatter described, all these has to be done before even installing Vista and also on a Windows PC.
    The outcome of that would be a modified Vista Installation DVD, which seems to be installing even on iMacs not really supported.
    Since I don't have Vista I never tried it myself, though.
    But the hatter is 'our local Vista/Windows 7 genius'
    As for the 'old XP CD' you found:
    such behaviour/error is usually a sign that the XP CD is not at Service Pack level 2 (SP2) which is a must for XP CDs.
    However, you can use these instructions http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxpsp2slipstream.asp to 'slipstream' yourself a XP SP2 installation CD.
    But again, you have to do it on a running Windows PC.

  • Error when installing windows 8.1 on iMac

    I am using bootcamp to install windows 8.1 on my late 2013 iMac.
    All goes well during the partionitioning phase but when the iMac reboots and windows starts-up to install, I keep getting an error message with "0x8007025D".
    I am using a USB with an legitimate windows ISO image
    Please help

    1. Do you have a Fusion Drive?
    2. Is this your first attempt at installing Windows on this partition?

  • 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.

  • BOOTCAMP error while installing Windows 7

    I am attempting to use BOOT CAMP to install Windows 7 and I keep getting this error message.
    The USB drive connected to this Mac contains a bootable volume. In order to install Windows 7 from the DVD, the Boot Camp Assistant needs to disable this functionality. No information on the drive will be removed. Do you want to continue?   When I hit continue I get this "Your disk could not be partitioned" An error occurred while partitioning the disk.    HELP please.  I have a brand new MAC PRO bought in DEC.  and I am using a brand new USB port.

    Please erase your USB Flash drive, and use Bootcamp Assistant to build a USB with the Windows ISO and BC drivers. Use a USB2 flash drive, not a USB3 one. It will not work with Windows.

  • 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.
