Installing another OS on Lenovo B590 (model name 6274)

Hi
We recently bought a Lenovo B590 with pre-installed Windows 8, which we absolutely hated of several reasons.
We haven't used the laptop since we bought it a month ago because of Windows8, so we decided to install Windows 7 or Windows XP as an alternative, as these are the installation discs we have from other laptops.
Now, we couldn't get it to boot from CD, but have figured ot how to avoid the UEFI boot by selecting legacy in the BIOS and choosing CD / DVD as primary boot option.
After that we wiped the computer completely with Dereks Boot and Nuke and figured we then could boot from CD.
Because we haven't used the laptop, there was no data we would miss, and therefore we haven't made a windows 8 recovery CD before wiping the computer.
We then figured with BIOS set to boot from CD and no OS on the laptop, it would be piece of cake to install one of our Windows systems.
However, when trying to boot from CD the booting seems to begin, but then immidiately states that there have been an error, or returns to boot menu, depending on the installation disc.
When using a Windows 7 installation disc it just returns to boot menu again, without seeming to start booting.
Then you can select CD again and again return to menu again, soforth...
When using a Windows XP installation disc, it seems to start booting and states that an error has been found and windows has been closed down to prevent damage. Technical data&colon; STOP:0X0000007B (0XF78D2524,0XC0000034,0X00000000, 0X00000000)
It should be mentioned that the Windows 7 installation disc is originally for a Medion PC and the XP installation disc for a Dell laptop, but we didn't think this was a problem.
So - what can we do now?
Is it even possible to install Windows 7 (preferably) or Windows XP on the Lenovo B590?
If not, how do we get windows 8 back again, so it will at least be functioning.

It's a weekend, forum traffic tends to be a little slow.

1. The scrolling, as far as I've been able to determine, is by using the slide bar to the right of most diplays. There are no up or down arrows that allow slow movement
2. The top and botton toolbars are not visible. The top one appears when you point the arrow to the top of the screen but the same doesn't work well if at all pointing the cursor to the bottom.
3. When downloading, something jumps to the upper right of the screen. I could point and click it and get a diplay if my downloads. I was attempting to fix some of the above. Now the little thing jumps off the screen and I can't get to it.
4I was trying to installMacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.3. I got message it couldn't be installed on my system.
5. The red yellow and blue bullets that allow shutting down, minimizing and maximizing are missing on most open windows.
Can you do something about these problems
It's problematical that one can't communicate directly with Apple to resolve these problems

My battery is not charging
Confirm the correct wattage AC adapter for the computer. A power adapter rated for a lower wattage than is required for the system may not reliably charge the computer.

HELP!!! on Lenovo G480 Model Name: 20156

Hi Good day!
Newbie here.
I just bought my new laptop Lenovo G480 with pre-installed operating system of Windows 7 starter.
Now, I upgrade my windows 7 starter to windows 7 home premium and not doing the clean install.
What happen is i use the windows upgrade anytime, copy the product key that i saw in the web and paste it to the upgrade anytime. The product key that i copied failed. So what I did is, I restart it, and when it boot up the windows is already upgrading to windows 7 home premium. After the setup, I copied the activation key for the product key that I copied and windows upgrade anytime accepted it. Now my windows 7 home premium says is it is activated and genuine.
Take note that I disabled the automatic update, as I'm afraid that microsoft might detect that my windows is not genuine.
Before i did the upgrade, i made a backup system with the use of onekey rescue system and save the backup to my built-in hard disk drive.
Now that I'm in win7 home premium, if I press the onekey rescue system button, will I get back to my previous os which is win7 starter without activating it? because I also don't have activation key for it, as i bought the laptop with pre-installed os.
Can you guys please advise me what to do?
I am really scared right now, I know I'm stupid and I don't want to waste my money because of what I've done.
Reply will be truly appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm sorry I used the one key recovery to backup my system and saved it to my built-in hard disk drive.

Pleas help me to found

Thank you

In fact T5750 means Core 2 Duo 2GHz with 2MB cache and 667 Mhz bus, is better to close search with T5750 if it is the specific processor, if not simply with 2Ghz do the work
The only way is asking to vendor or another owner of the your lenovo model required, tell them that read the "TYPE" code, starts with 0769-XXX which XXX is a letters and/or numbers that specify your model required

Until I installed the SMC FanControl application my screen would "break up" into strange patterns and then would eventually freeze. Please help.

If you are trying to upgrade using a gray-faced OS X disk from another system, that won't work, as those disks are locked to the system types they are delivered with. You'll need to drop the $29 on a retail copy of Snow Leopard, which is available from the Apple online store. Note Snow Leopard requires 1GB minimum, and you may want at least 2GB for better performance.

Boot lenovo B590 in uefi

Hello, I just bought a B590 lenovo laptop and I want to do a clean install. I want tu install windows 8.1 from a usb stick in UEFI mode. I have another laptop and there it boots fine in uefi mode. But I can't figure out how to set it for this B590. I can only boot in legacy mode from the usb stick, using these settings: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essential/Lenovo-B590-wont-boot-from-usb-key/td-p/123187...
I hope somebody can help me.
Thanks in advance

hi bosiwow,
Welcome to the Forums.
If your BIOS is the same as the one below, can you set the following options (if applicable):
Credits goes to this website for the image.
Startup Tab:
UEFI/Legacy Boot = UEFI Only
- UEFi/Legacy Boot Priority = UEFI First
- CSM Support = Disabled
Security Tab:
Secure Boot = Disabled
Exit or Restart Tab:
OS Optimized Defaults = Other OS / Disabled
When done, press F10 to save and exit. Once the lenovo screen pops up, press F12 for the boot menu and see if the USB flashdrive is selectable.
Let me know how it goes.
Regards

Lenovo B590 big problem, HELP!!!

Hello,
I have big problem with my Lenovo B590 20206 laptop. [windows 7 pro 64 bit installed]
After turn my laptop to standby mode (manualy or after 1 hour without use laptop) and when I want to wake up laptop all what I see is black screen and I must hold push power button for 5 second to force off.
BTW when laptop is in standby mode everything looks good, led is blinking and after pushing any button I hear that fan and hard disk is starting but all what i got is black screen, even CTRL + ALT + DEL doesnt work.
I've tried replace RAM, reinstalled alot of drivers but without success. Windows 7 of course works perfect, only sleep mode (standby] doesnt work.
Another problem is that i cant update bios, my current is 1.10 which is not recent imho (maybe bios update would help with problem above?). Ive downloaded BIOS Update Utility for Windows 7 from lenovo site but when i tried to update i ve got a warning like this:
so i tried to update from Windows 7 and BIOS Update Utility for CD ISO image and i got error "THE SYSTEM PROGRAM FILE IS DAMAGED. THE PROCESS HAS BEEN CANCELED."
My last question is about disk replacement in that lenovo b590, original 500gb disk is 7mm high, can I replace it with 9,5mm disk?
Any help would be appreciated, sorry for my english btw.

Lenovo b590 20206 Blue Screen A5

Help solve the following problem:
lenovo b590 20206.
after updating bios (h9et63ww) site lenovo, ceased to boot and install win XP (Need this OS).
a blue screen A5(http://lenovo-forums.ru/uploads/monthly_07_2014/post-108705-0-61958400-1404986732.jpg)
Other systems (Win7, Win8) installed and working properly.
Please give me the previous firmware.

Hi nazalin33, welcome to the forums,
the reason you are most likely experiencing the blue screen with Windows XP is because XP probably doesn't have the required SATA driver in order to recognize the hard drive properly which Windows 7 & 8 do have.
It is possible to install the driver during the installation of Windows XP, instructions on how to do this can be found in the driver readme file;
Driver & Readme download page; http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/gb/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-b-series-laptops/lenovo-b...
Alternatively it may be possible to change how the SATA drive is recognized in BIOS by, if the option is there, by changing the AHCI setting to compatability which hopefully can be found in the BIOS configuration menu.

Lenovo B590 laptops reformatting

Before I started to work where I am, my company ordered a dozen Lenovo B590 laptops with a Windows 7 Pro OS. This was about 1.5 years ago. It looks like their default operating system is Windows 8 and someone installed 7 after-market and I suspect these were refurbs. They needed to be 7 since some programs that were needed would not run on 8. These computers have been nothing but trouble. We only got factory restore discs of Windows 8 and had to call Lenovo to get 7 ones. I thought I was finally ready to reformat all these, but I got another nasty surprise. To clarify these disks, there is one called the product recovery DVD without a number. Then there are two more. One is labeled one (and 2 of 2 for some reason) that says it is Windows 7 recovery media for windows 7 products. The this is labeled 2 and says is is the operating recovery disc windows 7 sp 1 and is also labeled 2 of 2. The OS software Lenovo sent me is 7 Ultimate, not pro. I tried to reformat one laptop and it is pretty **bleep**ed up. I put in the disc labeled one, but it ran into the activation problem. There is no sticker with any number on the **bleep** things. I tried the Jelly Bean software and no dice. I then though maybe I have to put the product recovery dvd. I put that in and it was asking for a second disc. It put in the one labeled 1 and it didn't like it so I tried 2 but the same thing happened. I then told it to cancel and it keeps giving me a menu to choose where to boot from but never boots no matter what selection.I didn't think reformatting these would be this difficult. I have no idea what to do at this point. These were nothing but trouble in the beginning and it keeps getting worse and worse. I wish I can return these but there is no way at this point. Is there anything you can suggest?I can't seem to find any good help on this anywhere and frankly am getting quite frustated since reformatting these should not be this difficult.

Приветствую
Какие-то обновления устанавливались перед тем, как wifi адаптер пропал? BIOS, OS?
Если такая проблема произошла внезапно, "сама по себе", есть вероятность, что адаптер не включается из-за плохого контакта в слоте, куда он установлен. Снимите крышку на днище (2 винта), вытащите адаптер и аккуратно установите его обратно. Только предварительно отсоедините кабель питания и аккумуляторную батарею.
Что касается драйверов:
1. какая модель адаптера? если будете снимать крышку, модель написана на наклейке на адаптере
2. либо сообщите PCI VEN/DEV идентификаторы адаптера (неизвестного устройства), их можно узнать в диспетчере устройств.
После этого осмотрим что с драйверами.

Traditional DAQ and SCXI 1530 model name

Hi all,
I am using Labview 6.1 and Traditional DAQ 7.1. I am working on one system with one DAQ card (PCI 6052E) and several SCXI cards(1520, 1530). All the SCXI cards are installed correctly because MAX can detect them all.
I want to make a program with Traditional DAQ which can detect all the SCXI cards and show their model names on the front panel.
I found in Tradtional DAQ, there is one VI called "Get SCXI Information" which returns the model types of SCXI cards, something like, 50, 51....
I found in the help file of "Get SCXI Information" VI there is some kind of the configuration file saying 51 stands for SCXI 1520. What does 50 stand for? Where can I find the complete configuration file or somehow can I change it? Like make 51 stands for something else...
Any ideas are highly appreciated.... Thank you all!
Solved!
