Installation von Windows8 Pro 64-bit auf Lenovo G780

Weil sich auf der Festplatte des neuen Lenovo G780 vier MBR-Partitionen befinden und Win8 Pro den GPT-Partitionsstil erfordert, wird man bei unbekümmerter DVD-Installation von der Meldung erschreckt : "Windows Setup" - Windows kann auf dem Datenträger nicht installiert werden. Der ausgewählte Datenträger enthält eine MBR-Partitionstabelle. Auf EFI-Systemen kann Windows nur auf GPT-Datenträgern installiert werden."
Die - vom Lenovo Support empfohlene -  Lösung des Problems ist einfach und schnell gegangen. Ich bin zurückgegangen, habe über Computerreparaturoptionen die Eingabeaufforderung  aufgerufen, um dort mit Hilfe des Befehlszeilenprogramms "Diskpart" die MBR-Partitionierung zu löschen. Dazu sind folgende Befehle nacheinander einzugeben und jeweils mit ENTER zu bestätigen:
diskpart
list disk
selekt disk
clean
Das war es schon. Die weitere Installation von Windows 8 Pro sollte dann glatt durchlaufen .Eine gewünschte Partitionierung lässt sich anschließend in der "Datenträgerverwaltung" leicht vornehmen.

Würde dieses Vorgehen auch beim bislang erfolglosen Upgradeversuch von Win 8.1 auf Win 8.1 Pro auf einem Lenovo G710 funktionieren?

  • Installing Windows 8.1 Pro 32 bit on Lenovo H500s

    I have installed a brand new (clean) 2T drive in the Lenovo H500s and I have Windows 8.1 PRO 32 bit retail disk. I'm trying to get this to install on the new drive but can't even get the unit to see the CD.
    I've gone in to the BIOS and set the CDROM as the first boot divice but when the computer is turned on it doesn't seem to recognize the drive and gives me the error message "Error 1962 No operating system found".
    I've tried other DVD's that are bootable but it doesn't seem to see those either. Any ideas on this?
    NOTE: I need to use the 32 bit OS because I have drivers that the device manufacture won't update to 64 bit. This is a Epilog Laser Cutter so I'm not about to spend $17,000 to replace it.

  • Windows 7 Pro 64 bit Expanding Windows FIles, reboots

    Trying to do clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit to Lenovo Thinkpad  X140e laptop.  I boot up the DVD, get to windows advanced install, add AMD AHCI driver from CD and start installation. Anywhere from 7% to 70% completion of the "Expanding
    Windows Files" the laptop reboots with out displaying an error and because the install is not complete shows at "BOOTMGR is missing" message upon restart.

    I received an answer form someone in the Lenovo Support Community Forum.  Because this machine was a Preload Windows 8 with UEFI BIOS, he suggested opening a command prompt in the windows GUI installer (Shift -F10), run DISKPART with the CLEAN ALL option
    and wiping the disk.  Even though I had deleted all disk partitions via the Windows GUI installer, apparently there was a hidden partition causing a problem with Windows 7 install.  After wiping the disk, I went back to the Windows installer and
    clicked Next. It copied and completely expanded all the windows files!

  • Adobe Registerkarte wird in Word2007 nach Installation von Adobe Acrobat XI Pro nicht erstellt!

    @Ich habe Windows7 und Microsoft Office 2007 Pro. Bis jetzt hat Adobe immer bei der Installation die Registerkarte "Acrobat" in Word erstellt.
    Kürzlich hing sich Word beim Konvertieren einer Worddatei in PDF auf. Ich habe abgebrochen und dann Word wiedergeladen. Plötzlich war nun die Registerkarte "Acrobat" nicht mehr zu sehen.
    Ein Abschalten des Rechners und wieder hochfahren hat auch nichts gebracht.
    Auch eine Neuinstallation von Microsoft office 2007 und danach von Adobe Acrobat XI zeigte keine Registerkarte mehr in Word. Bei den anderen Officeprogrammen z.B. Excel funktioniert es.
    Kann mir bitte jemand Helfen?
    PS: Der Adobe Destiller funktioniert im Word, aber dabei kann man nicht soviele Einstellungen machen z.B. Lesezeichen erstellen etc.!

    Sehr geehrter Herr Alheit,
    recht herzlichen Dank für Ihre Mail.
    Es war die Lösung meines Problems.

  • Installation von CS6 auf neuem Notebook

    Hallo!
    Ich habe mir ein neues Notebook (Windows8) gekauft und will darauf CS6 installieren. CS6 läuft derzeit noch auf meinem alten Notebook (Windows7). Dazu folgende Fragen:
    1) Läuft CS6 unter Windows 8? Habe irgendwo gelesen, dass es nur eingeschränkt läuft.
    2) Ich habe Probleme bei der Installation von CS6. Die Software habe ich aus meiner Bestellung im Adobe-Account auf das neue Notebook heruntergeladen (Dateien Photoshop_13_LS4.7Z und Photoshop_13LS4) und bereits verschiedenes ausprobiert. Aber die Installation bricht immer wieder ab, weil irgendwelche Dateien beschädigt seien. Was muss ich beachten?
    Vielen Dank und viele Grüße,
    Bernd

  • Photoshop 7 (& other old Adobe programs) installation in Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    Recently I purchased a new computer running Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) with 2 TB hard drive and 16 GB memory and faced the task of trying to install Photoshop 7, Illustrator 8, Acrobat 8 Pro, and Dreamweaver CS3 that I had used very satisfactorily on my old Windows XP SP 3, 2GB memory computer with less than 1 TB hard drive. I now have all of these running successfully on my new computer and thought I would share here my experience gleaned from a number of other forums after many hours. I had the most problem with Photoshop 7 which I will describe last. In all cases I had the original genuine installation disks. These are generally needed except for Illustrator 8.
    Dreamweaver CS3 -- This installed easily in the Program Files (x86) folder & does not seem to require running in XP compatibility mode
    Acrobat 8 Pro -- Same as Dreamweaver CS3
    Illustrator 8 -- The installation disk would not work for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. A solution I found in a Microsoft forum is simply to copy the Illustrator folder and contents into the ProgramData folder on the new computer along with the following dll files in the C\Windows folder of the old computer: icccodes.dll, kpcp32.dll, kpsys32.dll, pcdlib32.dll, pfpick.dll, sprof32.dll  These go right into the Illustrator folder. This program needs to be run using XP compatibility mode (after copying preceding files go to Control Panel --> Programs --> Programs and Features --> Run programs made for previous versions of Windows -- follow directions there). It might be possible to copy into the Program Files (x86) folder too, but the ProgramData folder works. I have not actually used Illustrator after doing this, but since it started ok, I presume that there will be no problems.
    Photoshop 7 -- My Photoshop 7 was an upgrade from Photoshop 5. The PS 5 installation disk would not run on Windows 7 & when I tried the PS 7 upgrade disk (autorun) I got the message that it could not find a previous version of PS & then shut down the installation. I tried the method used for Illustrator 8 above (suggested on yet another forum with an additional dll identified in another Windows folder), but I got the message "Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". This evidently had to do with missing authentication serial code number in the registry. I found some discussion of this in forums but no workable fix in my case which involved an upgrade. Then I discovered inormation in another forum which explained that installation with the disks could be done by inserting the upgrade disk and running it from the setup.exe file instead of autorun. When you do this you are presented with the option of proving your previous version of PS by simply inserting the earlier version PS disk at this pint of the process. After doing this the installation with the upgrade disk proceeds fine. The PS 7 program can be installed in the Adobe folder within the Program Files (x86) folder. However, after doing this and trying to start PS 7 you get the following error (if your hard drive is 1 TB or greater in capacity): "Could not inititialize Photoshop because the scratch disk are full" After much reading I learned that this occurs because PS 7 apparently cannot recognize partitions (volumes) 1 TB or greater. What you need to do is set up an additional partition (volume) on your hard drive. This is easy to do. Go to Windows Help, search on "create partition", choose "Create and format a hard disk partition", and follow the directions. I decided to make a 50 GB partion I named "scratch". The system will assign a drive letter to it. To use the new partion to allow PS 7 to start you need to start PS 7 and immediately press the ALT and CTRL keys together. This will bring up a window where you tell PS 7 which drives to use for its scratch disk. You need to select the newly-created scratch disk(partition) in the first choice and leave the other choices as "None". After doing this you have one last issue. When you try to save any file in PS 7 you cannot save it directly anywhee on the C drive since that drive is 1 TB or greater. What I do is save it to the scratch drive and then later move it from there to where I want it on my C drive. I have seen it suggested to install the PS 7 program itself on the newly-created scratch drive, but I don't know if this would allow saving files to the C drive. When installed the way I have described it does not seem to require operating in the XP compatibility mode.
    Hope this helps those of you who prefer working with the programs they are used to on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

  • Installation von CS2 auf zweitem PC gelingt nicht

    Hallo,
    kann mir jemand Tipps zur Installation von CS2 Premium als zweite Instanz geben?
    Adobe hat mir mitgeteilt, dass der Support für CS2 eingestellt ist.
    Ziel: Installation einer zweiten Instanz von CS2 auf zwei verschiedenen VISTA-PCs:
    auf PC 1: alles außer Illustrator,
    auf PC 2: nur Illustrator.
    Die erste Instanz auf einem XP-PC soll bestehen bleiben.
    Problem: Keins der Programme lässt sich auf den "neuen" PCs starten (Installationsvorgang ohne Probleme):
    PC 1) Beim Starten der Programme wird die Seriennummer zur Fortsetzung der Installation angefordert (Photoshop meldet nur die fehlenden Daten und schließt). Die Nummer wird aber nicht angenommen.
    PC 2) Installation von Illustrator:
    Beim Versuch, das Programm zu starten kommt die Fehlermeldung:
    Runtime error:
    ...\illustrator.exe ... This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    Vielen Dank,
    Regina

    1. Auf wieviel Geräten war die CS2 schon installiert?
    2. Wo wurde die CS2 gekauft? Welcher Händler, evenuell zu welchem Preis? Lag der Preis im Normalbereich oder war der Preis saubillig?
    3. Ist sichergestellt, dass diese Version nie mehr als 20x aktiviert und deaktiviert wurde, mehr war damals nicht erlaubt. Kann aber zwischenzeitlich zurückgesetzt werden.
    4. Die CS2 darf maximal auf zwei Geräten gleichzeitig installiert werden. Darunter zählt auch die Installation eines Einzelprogamms. Wenn Du zum Beispiel Illustrator wo installierst und sonst nichts, dann hast Du eine gesamte CS2 Lizenz für diesen Rechner verbraten.
    5. Funktioniert die Internetverbindung oder kannst Du alternativ eine telefonische Aktivierung vornehmen, die Telefonnummer dazu erscheint normalerweise nach einer fehlgeschlagenen Aktivierung.
    Mir ist jetzt bei Deiner Anfrage nicht klar was Du unter erster Instanz verstehst.

  • Help! Installation of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit fails...

    I am trying to install Windows 7 Pro 64-bit on my new video system:
    - I boot the PC with the install CD inserted
    - I get
        . the installation screen
        . accept licence agreement
        . select on which disk I want to install windows
        . the copy to disk finishes
        . the next step is to reboot my system so that windows continues the install from disk.
       . however after the reboot, just after the systems POST, I just get a black screen and nothing happens.
    I already removed all other disks and removed the raid card :
       So only the...
           - motherboard Asus P6T SE
           - CPU : Intel quad core 950 3.2Mhz
           - Corsair 12 GB
           - single WD 160GB disk ( for windows )
           - LG DVD player
           - Corsair PSU
           - ps2 keyboard
           - ps2 mouse
      ... remains attached
    What is also strange is that there is no F6 during the install of Windows XP. Previously you could press F6 for additional drivers.
    Now you can not.  I tried to press F6 a couple of times but no additional options came on the screen.
    I also allready preformated the disk : single partition and NTFS preformated with default 4kb cluster size.
    Anybody an idea?

    Thanks... above helped... when searching on that forum I found someting about changing SATA from IDE to AHCI.
    So in the bios I changed ...
       > Storage Configuration > Change Configure SATA as IDE
    ... to ...
    > Storage Configuration > Change Configure SATA as RAID
    ... and now it seems to work.
    I used RAID instead of simple AHCI because I want to use raid0 (striping) for my paging disks.
    So I will have a single disk for W7 Pro and use 2 disks for paging and cache.
    My other 6 disks will later be used in raid3 on an areca controller.
    Still working on my installation so I will leave this post open until windows 7 pro is installed / updated / configured.

  • Flash crashes Windows 7 Pro 64 bit IE11. Lenovo X301 laptop with Intel Graphics. Confirmed it happen

    My company has several Lenovo X301 laptops with Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) running IE11. I load clean versions of Flash onto these laptops (latest version 12.0.0.77) and every single one of these laptops crashes when opening IE11.
    One thing I noticed when I used the help.adobe.com site. Using IE11, the box which "dynamically displays the following information" shows the correct version of Flash player and OS but the browser says "None". If I run Chrome, it says the correct Flash version but the OS says "Windows 7 (32 bit) and the browser correctly says "Google Chrome".
    The crash report for IE11, module name is Flash32_12_0_0_77.ocx.
    1. Why is the program unable to determine the correct browser?
    2. Why does it appear that a 64 bit program is trying to use a 32 bit plug-in?
    Any ideas?

    1. "User-Agent Strings"
    Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.Microsoft has no immediate plans to "fix" the mess they've created.
    2. Chrome is a 32 bit browser, and will identify as such, including the plug-ins in it.
    IE uses the plug-in from the SyWOW64 folder (WOW=Windows On WIndows - which runs 32 bit apps in the 64 bit environment)

    I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it does not install ang give an Error code 72, it is assuming that I already are using the Creative cloud in 2 computer, but itis no the case, how to solve this situation?

    Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required.  I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud.  Now I get the famous white screen:
    It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now). 
    Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
    del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
    Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
    So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
    Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work.  I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
    I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

  • V570 problem with Intel onboard driver on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    Hello Everyone, 
    I recently installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on my Lenovo v570. I downloaded the drivers from the support page and I have a strange problem with the onboard graphics driver "Intel Onboard Graphics Driver for Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit) - Lenovo B470, B570, V370, V470, V570" in the drivers section.
    Installation seems fine, but after restart, the system fails to boot and goes into boot recovery mode, where I get a message saying that booting failed due to a bad driver and the only actual option I have to boot up is to go back to a previous restore point. I tried installing the Nvidia driver for Windows 7, but it says that I need to install an Intel driver first, which is the one that gives me the blue screen when booting. I have also tried installing both drivers without a restart between both installations, but that didn't help.
    I am wondering if anyone in the community has seen something similar. Any advice, information or assistance will be highly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance for your time.
    Best regards,
