How do I install the Windows OS on my new laptop?

I just got a new G580. I received the unit in a sealed box, untouched. Starting it up at home it goes into what I'd call a 'command' screen where I am requested change the date and then time of the machine. Pressing enter it next goes to " C:\> " and will not accept anything such as 'run' or 'setup' . I've popped in the CD that came with it and restarted the unit but still the same " C:\>" Obviously I need to tell the darn thing something to start the boot-up process, but this is a first for me...newbe...  and no idea what. (The shop is closed and I can only get hold of them tomorrow) Any suggestions. Any suggestions please?
Solved!

Thanks a stack NINE! Windows is obviously not preinstalled and I'd need to go get that sorted. Glad I found the Lenovo community!

  • I am trying to install the cs5 upgrade on my new laptop, however, I cannot locate my cs4 program to install first.  Am I out of luck?

    You do not need the older version installed in order to install the upgrade version, but you do need the serial number from CS4 to prove that you qualify for using CS5.  During the activation process for CS5, after you successfully enter the CS5 serial number you will be asked to select the qualifying version (CS4) from a list and to enter its serial number.
    If you registered CS4 when you originally installed it then you might be able to find the serial number available in your Adobe account online in the Products section.

  • Disk failed, got a new one. How can I install the Windows 8 without paying?

    So I got this product and after a year and a half disk had errors and had to replace it. Now I'm struggling to install windows 8 again! how can I do it without buying Windows 8?

    In all probability you installed the wrong version of Windows that matches the key that was originally installed on your system.  Definitely it was not Pro but probably the standard, Windows 8.1
    You may download from here:
    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/18309-windows-8-windows-8-1-iso-download-create.html
    If you cannot install with the proper key you will have to order recovery disks.  If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144, and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks.  Otherwise the WorldWide site:

  • HT4818 how do you install the windows 7 drivers for a mac os x 10.8.2?

    I have this question because the instructions say you need to use the CD/DVD included in the box my macbook pro came in... but mine did not come with any CD... so where can I find it?

    When you start Boot Camp Assistant one of the first menu items is to download the Windows Support software. Did you do this step?
    The instructions you read and are referring to are for Snow Leopard and older computers that came with an operating system DVD.
    You should also visit the Boot Camp forum where your question has been answered many times. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

  • How do i install the osx software onto my new hard drive?

    I have just recently replaced my hard drive due to a fault from the previous one. how do i install my software without a cd? Everything is done by internet cd's just dont exist anymore. What are my options?

    I don't know if this will work or not, but if your machine shipped with Lion, try booting while holding down the Command, Option and R keys. You may be able to format your drive and then reinstall Lion on it.
    It may work - it might not; give it a try.

  • How do i install the windows 7 drivers without the Mac OS X Disk?

    I have successfully installed Windows 7 via bootcamp, but I do not have the Mac OS X install disk.  Is there anywhere I can download the drivers from? 

    Hi,
    sorry to say but you need the OSX Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
    The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
    Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
    Call Apple and ask for a replacement and they usually send you one for a small fee.
    And have the Serial-Number of your Mac at hand when calling.
    And since the OSX Install DVD can also be vital for maintenance and repair it is best to have one.
    Regards

  • How do I install The Sims 3 on my new macbook pro?

    I jsut got my MacBook Pro and im still learning how to run everything but i cant figure out how to install my Sims 3 game. I put it in and it acts like it is going to bring up an installer window like my old Dell used to do but then it stops and nothing happens. Where do i need to go to download the game?

    Go to the top menu bar where it says Finder (if it doesnt, click anywhere on your desktop and it should show up)
    Click on "Finder" Go to "Preferences", then under the "General" tab where it sais "Show these items in the desktop" make sure the option "CDs, DVDs and Ipods" is checked.
    Close that window and reinsert the game disc.
    It should show up on your desktop, a CD icon, just click on that icon.

  • How do I install the Apple device driver on my laptop?

    My iPhone 4 is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen and won't enter recovery mode after trying to update my phone to iOS 7.0.2. My laptop "can't find a device driver" and iTunes won't detect my phone at all, neither will my laptop. I need help with this problem. I have tried uninstalling the orginal device driver and I can't find a device driver downoad on Apple's website to replace it, so now I have no driver whatsoever. I have "held the home button down for about 15 seconds" whilst the phone was on and again while it was off. Is this a problem many people are having?
    Many thanks, Joe
