G500 change MBR to GPT for win8 Install without deleting the oem partition

Hi, I just bought Lenovo g500 and it came with Free DOS. Now I want to install windows 8 64-bit.
My HDD came with:
1 system partition of 1000 MB (maybe Free DOS partition?)
959 518 MB Unallocated space
1000 MB OEM - reserved partition
It has MBR partition table. To install windows 8 64-bit I need to use UEFI boot with GPT partition table, so I need to convert the MBR table to GPT. Microsoft suggest to delete all partitions and convert to GPT using Diskart command, but if I delete all partitions I will lose the 1000 MB OEM partition (and oneKey recovery)
Is there any solution on how to convert to GPT without losing the OEM partition? or I have to choose between win8 and OEM partition.

Hi Gicevgoran,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums
I’m sorry to inform you that installing the Windows 8 is not possible without making changes in the default partition created in the computer while the pre-installed OS (Operating System) was installed, I suggest you to create a Recovery discs in your computer and then make changes so that you can revert back anytime if you require, below is the link to download the User Guide for G500 Laptop and refer page no. 21 for the steps to create the Recovery Discs for the computer.
User Guide for Lenovo G500
Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

@lucasc ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. You will not be able to do this without damaging the recovery partition. If you want to do a fresh install on your system use the system recovery.
If not you will install the operating system of your choice. Before doing so make sure the notebook came with the operating system and you have supported drivers for the OS you want to install.
If not you may not be able to find supported drivers and end up with hardware issues. The drivers are built for the notebook based on the OS that it was released with and they are proprietary.
I hope this helps. Thank you again for posting and have a great day.

How do I change a saved ID for a site and delete the old ID, using Mac OS X and Firefox 3.6.8?

I have changed an ID at a website I use all the time. I want to delete the old ID from Firefox. When I go to the site I am offered a list of ID options when I click in the ID box on the site. I do not want the old ID to be offered to me as an option . I also have some incorrect IDs on other sites that I would like to delete. The passwords are fine, it is the IDs that I need help with.

You can highlight an entry in the drop down list on a web page and press Shift + Delete as explained in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Deleting_autocomplete_entries Deleting_autocomplete_entries] article.

Can we change the voicemail greeting without deleting the first one?

Ask your carrier. Voicemail is a carrier feature; they may have a way to set a temporary greeting.

Is there a way to change the iCloud account on my iPhone from one email to another without deleting the first account or deleting the information currently on my phone?

Right now my iCloud is synced through our family Apple ID. It wasn't a problem until my mom got an iPad and synced it to the same Apple ID, so now she receives all of my iMessages and FaceTime messages. I have created my own Apple account, but how do I change the Apple ID to the new one without deleting the information currently on my phone?

First, turn everything off for iCloud...contacts, calendars, FaceTime, iMessage, notes, Find My Phone, etc. You'll be prompted to keep the data on your phone or delete it...select keep. Then: Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, set everything back up using your new ID.

If the Inbox for this account only is revealed, is there any triangle beside it?
Ah, yes, I see! Silly me to be looking for Sent mail under "Sent"! Indeed, there's a disclosure triangle next to the account name under "Inbox", and wen you open it, it shows Drafts, Sent, spam, and Trash. The sent items are indeed there.
Mind you, my Dot Mac accounts show up normally, i.e., their sent mail goes under "Sent". Wish all IMAP accounts did that. It sure isn't logical to show sent mail inside an inbox...
But to answer your question: In addition to having the "Sent" folder for the account under "Inbox", I also have a folder for the account under "Sent". This folder disappears when I check the box to store messages on the server. There were emails in it (the ones I placed there myself). I have now moved those emails to the sent sub-folder under the account under "Inbox". Even with the "store on server" option UNchecked, the emails were instantly duplicated to the server, so that they were present both locally and remotely. I then checked the "store on server box"; this made the mailbox for the account under "Sent" vanish.
To summarize: things appear to work normally now, except that I find it very inconvenient to have to look in two separate "Sent" folders to find emails I've written.

I want to install my original SnowLeopard (from the installation disc) to a partition I created in the now upgraded Mavericks OSX, How can I install it on the new partition?

I want to install my original SnowLeopard (from the installation disc) to a partition I created in the now upgraded Mavericks OSX, How can I install it on the new partition?

That's easy.
2 methods:
1. Change the Startup Disk in System Preferences, then restart:
2. Hold down the "Option" key while starting or restarting the Mac. Then chosse the partition that you want to startup from.
The 1st mehtod is the quickest, because you don't have the additional step of choosing the drive. Plus, whatever you have selected in System Preferences becomes the default startup drive.

TS5223 i have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both?

Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both? Everytime I try to sync my new iPad, it syncs all the apps that are on my account. If I can do this, can someone tell me how please???

Yes you can, easily. When you plug the first pad in to sync, note the name of the pad on the last pane. Set up for that device whatever you want to sync. When you are done, plug the second pad in. Make sure it has a different name on the left pane. Then sync to that pad whatever you want. I tunes will remember what you did on each pad, and will start from there the next time you plug in.

How do i change the apple id in icloud without deleting the old one?

i was given a second hand iphone 4 still logged into the previous owners apple id account. I changed the apple id connected to the itunes and app store to mine but i cant seem to be able to change the one connected to the icloud without deleting the previous owners account which i do not want to do becasue that apple id is still in use. how do i change the id without actually deleting the one currently logged in?

Welcome to the Apple community wensecles.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

For the new iPhone 5s - is there not an option anymore to edit imessages without deleting the whole stream? There are some things I need to keep within a stream and some not necessary, and it looks as like no editing within a conversation?

Now I also know about pulling the message to the left to see the time stamp. Good to know, although I preferred it being right where I could see it without having to do a swipe or keystroke.

Hi. Is it possible to create an EQ setting (manual) in iTunes that can be stored on an ipod nano as an addition to the 22 EQ presets? I want to use a manual setting for my headphones without applying the EQ to all the individual songs. I'd use a different EQ for my dock.

When I open my mail account I keep getting the message "Checking for Mail". I deleted the yahoo account and set it up again and I am still getting the same issue plus I am not seeing any of my mail or folders. Can anyone help?

When I open my mail account I keep getting the message "Checking for Mail". I deleted the yahoo account and set it up again and I am still getting the same issue plus I am not seeing any of my mail or folders. Can anyone help?

This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
You will have to access "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password. instead of the yahoo account password.

If you have the serial number, you can download it and reinstall it. However, you might have to call Adobe about resetting you account, as it wasn't deactiveated.
