How do I change vista business 32 bit to windows 7 64 bit on a w700

I bought a full install 64bit windows 7 but the w700 wont boot off the dvd -- says there is no valid boot on the disk
the 32 bit dvd boots fine, obviously there is something missing in the prom. how to I get whatever is necessary to boot off the 64bit windows software.
As you all should know, the w700 doesn't support 32 bit windows 7 so I would hope lenovo will us poor suckers a break and tell us how to convert to the 64bit version

Microsoft does not provide any clean upgrade path from a 32-bit operating system to a 64-bit version.  Basically, you will have to do a clean install.  You can simplify the migration process by using System Migration Assistant at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-50889.
With regards to the boot problem, I have found that certain discs and/or certain optical drives will take longer to initialize which can cause them to be skipped during the boot sequence.  To work around this, press F12 during the ThinkPad splash screen until you see "Prepaing Boot Device List"   When the boot menu comes up, select the optical drive and hit enter.  Sometimes you may need to wait a few seconds before hitting enter in order to allow the optical drive to fully initialize.  After hitting enter, the disc's boot loader will start and you'll see "press any key to boot to CD / DVD..."
If that doesn't work, try booting the media on another computer; it's possible the disc is defective (or has some dust on it.

  • How do i change the color of the window background?

    How do I change the color of the window background? When I create a new document on indesign sometimes the blackground is white, sometimes black or gray and I d'ont know why. Thanks for help.

    THis sounds like you are viewing is different modes. "Normal" or layout mode uses a white pasteboard whre you can store objects that you might want to use, but don't want on your pages currently. When you switch to "Preview" mode the pasteboard and any guides and non-printing objects disappear and the background goes gray. In Presentation Mode the backbround is black and the tools and panels will disappear.
    Hitting the W key when you don't have the Text tool active will toggle normal and preview modes. Shift + W will take you to Prensetation Mode, and Esc will take you back out.

    Hi
    The Vista installation is not tricky.
    Just put the Vista disk into the ODD and then boot from the disk.
    The installation will start automatically.
    But this will format your HDD and you will lose your installed Win XP and other files.
    > how can i install back all the utilities and drivers that it came with?
    I assume youve got a Toshiba recovery disk.
    If you want to get back the OS installed by Toshiba then you should use the Toshiba recovery disk for recovering.
    PS: what Qosmio F do you have exactly? I ask it because F 108 is not known to me

  • EEWB - How do I change the Business Ojbect Extension Type

    Hi,
    We are on standalone CRM 5.0
    I have created the BP extension via EEWB and created the extension with Business object BUPA and extension type as "Add New Fields". I have not yet started the Wizard. But before that I would like to change the extension type from "Add new fields" to "Add new Table" - how can I do it.
    When I go into the change mode, system is only allowing me to change the project name and description but not the Business Object Type, Extension Type fields.
    Appreciate your help in this regard.
    Thanks
    Guest01

    Hi Sudheer,
    I could delete the extension and create a new one, thx again.
    Just for information: I gave "$temp" as the package (dev. class) for the project & extension while I created them because this was to be tested in the standalone CRM only.
    The issue which is bothering me is, when I try to start the wizard for creating new fields and provide the technical details and press 'complete' button, am getting the following error:
    Task BUPA_CI_FILL CRDCLNTxxx
    Table BUT000_TD (Statements could not be generated)
    Detailed Error message:
         Message no. DT066
    Diagnosis
         A requested database action could not be carried out.
    Procedure
         First try to repeat the action which caused this message. If the
         database action again cannot be carried out, find out the cause of the
         error using the analysis tool in the database utility. There might be an
         inconsistency between the table definition in the ABAP Dictionary and
         the existing nametab (runtime object for the table).
    Can you suggest what could be wrong here.
    Many thanks

  • How do you change the default User in Windows 7 on a non-RAIDed 4 disk setup?

    Hi.
    I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on Darling my new machine, which has a four-disk setup without RAID, like this:
    SSD OCZ -OS, Programs (C:)
    WD 2002FEAX - Media Projects (D:)
    WD 1002FAEX - Pagefile, Media Cache (E:)
    WD 1002FAEX - Previews, Exports (F:)
    This setup, and because it’s unRAIDed (four separate disks), created the User file in the OS disk, right under the Programs (x86) folder, which at times causes files, which are not programs, to automatically be saved in the User file that's in the Programs disk, when in fact Programs disk is NOT meant for storage.
    Further, I cannot save stuff in My Documents because that directory leads the files (that I am saving) to the User folder in the OS disk, forcing me to navigate out of there and into an alternative disk, which is time consuming, more so than if i had a directory leading to D disk.
    So, I am wondering, can anyone help me change my directory to establish the default User folder in any folder other than C?
    Or, if can someone refer me to Windows 7 tutorials, resourses, that are a tad more than Dummy level.
    I have heard that changing around the directory as such can mess with the OS, and though not at Dummy level, I’m quite new to PC and profusely insecure about making changes to Darling at all.
    Thanks.

    Hi folks.
    I would like to update you about what happened regarding my wish to move the User location to another hard disk. Heeding your warning, i did NOT attempt that, but rather, moved the location of the My Documents folder in my Library, from its default place on (SSD) disk C:/ (which is the default location because that's where i installed Windows 7,) to another disk -  D:/ called "Media Projects".
    Here is how my directory looked before i made the change, my three hard disks were outside the Library directory that's on my SSD (Programs disk):
    (I did that by right-clicking the My Documents folder in the left column of a browser window, to access the Location tab.)
    What this did is, it put driver D:/ under Documents, which is under Library, see picture, which now enables saving documents quickly, by going from my Library directly to my D drive, however it eliminated the "My Documents" folder/possibility all together from the left-column list of folders in the Windows Explorer browser pane.
    I am now trying to do the same with Music, Pictures, and Videos, i.e. to move them to D drive, but am unable to do so because right-clicking those icons in the directory does not produce the Location tab in Properties panel, and nor does right-clicking inside the files themselves.
    Similarly, right-clicking Downloads, which i also want to have residing in my D drive, does NOT produce a Location tab in properties pane, though it does seem possible to change the directory manually...see picture.....but am wary....
    I am still monitoring my new system, and will see if and how this change effects my system's performance.
    Thanks.

  • How do I change position of video floating window in IDCS5 PDF export?

    I have created an interactive document in InDesign CS5 (for Mac) that includes some movies. The page size is 1280 x 800 and the H264.mov files are 960 x 540 and 800x600. I place the movie in the center of the page at 100% size (without resizing either the movie object or the frame). The poster is set to None to keep it blank. In the PDF options, the Play Video in Floating Window box is checked, with the size set to 1x and the Position is set to Center by default but it is grayed out, with no option to change it.
    When I export the document to PDF (Interactive) with both View and Layout set to Default and Buttons and Media set to Include All, the resulting PDF file opens the movie window in the upper right corner of the PDF document window. It does this whether viewing in Acrobat X Pro (10.1.2) or Acrobat Reader (9.5.0). I've tried opening the file on other computers and have the same issue. I've also created the same document in IDCS5.5 with the same outcome.
    I'd like the movie to open in the center of the PDF document window. I've made other documents where it does this, but for the life of me can't figure out what I'm doing differently to cause the floating movie window to open in the upper right corner of the PDF document.
    Any insight you could provide would be very helpful.
    Thanks,
    John

    Thanks for your reply, Steve. I, too, believe there is a bug, but it's not in InDesign CS5, as I mentioned in my post, I was able to replicate the problem by opening the file in CS5.5 and exporting it to an interactive PDF. The movie again opens in the upper right corner.
    However, if I create a NEW page in the document and place the same movie. it opens in the PDF reader centered in the page. I guess I could recreate the document if this is the only fix, but I thought that I may be doing something wrong, which apparently is not the case.

    "If you have placed the video in InDesign in it's own frame, should you not leave this box unchecked?"
    Rik, I didn't actually place the movie into a new frame. What I meant to say was that once the movie was placed into the document, I did not resize it. I found that if I don't have the PDF viewer open the movie in a flaoting window, the movie quality suffers if the PDF viewer opens in a larger size than the original InDesign page size (which can happen depending on how the user's PDF viewer is configured). However, the movie plays and views perfectly if it is in a floating window.
