  • Lenovo G470 Having Booting Problems.

    My laptop is having problems while booting up occasionally where it boots up until the mouse pointer gets dispalyed, nothing else, just the mouse pointer at the center of the screen and nothing else. I have to then shutdown the laptop by holding the power button down till it shutsdown then turn it on again in order to use my laptop. This happens often after I shutdown the laptop, but NOT when I restart, or boot from hibernation. I haven't noticed any BSODs. This problem has been there since I bought the laptop. I tried updating the drivers and the BIOS and I used the DriverEasy software also to update the drivers. Yet the problem continues.
    Any solutions?

  • Lenovo 3000 Y500 Booting problems

    Hey Everyone,
    Two days back I have tried to install Ubuntu onto my lenovo 3000 y500  Intel Celeron M 1.73 Ghz, 512 MB ram and Hitachi HTS541612J9SA00-S1 120Gb SATA HDD.During the installation something went wrong and the booting could not be completed from the live cd.After I rebooted the BIOS screen (with Lenovo logo) is getting displayed and the system is continously restarting.The OS boot screen is not loading.
    Out of curiosity I had removed my hard drive and tried to boot the system with no hard drive through a live cd and it booted for sometime and it hung.I had also connected my hdd to another desktop and tried to install ubuntu on it and the installation worked fine and the desktop booted with ubuntu installed on it.
    To check my motherboard I used a similar hard drive from an other y500 series laptop and booted the system succesfully.So the motherboard was working fine.
    As a final desperate attempt I had downloaded a BIOS update (thinking that it is a BIOS problem) for Lenovo 3000 N100 and flashed my bios with it.Then the system booted fine with my hdd (with ubuntu on it) but my no hardware was being detected correctly.SO i restored my old bios back and the problem continues.
    Kindly let me know if there is any BIOS update for Lenovo 3000 Y500 that can rectify this problem.My current BIOS is Phoenix trusted core version 2.04.Kindly suggest any other reasons that might cause this problem
    Thank you

    Three days back I have tried to install Ubuntu onto my lenovo 3000 y500  Intel Celeron M 1.73 Ghz, 512 MB ram and Hitachi 80 gb SATA HDD.During the installation something went wrong and the booting could not be completed from the live cd.After I rebooted the BIOS screen (with Lenovo logo) is getting displayed and the system is continously restarting.The OS boot screen is not loading.
    the hard drive running better with every laptop & destop. & my laptop is working fine with another 80 to 160  gb sata. please give me different bios version.
    thanks

  • Lenovo Erazer x510 boot problem

    Hi,
    I just received my new Erazer x510 yesterday.
    When trying to boot it for the first time it gives me an error: Error 1962: no operating system found.
    Also when checking from BIOS for bootable devices it sometimes shows HDD but sometimes it's blank.
    Basically HDD is dissapearing.
    Searching the error from google gives mostly an answer that HDD is faulty.
    Is this true? Or is there anything else to be done?
    Thanks in advance!
    Solved!

    I'll answer myself.
    I moved the Hard Drive to another slot and it started working.
    So the problem was that computer didn't recognize the HDD.

  • Lenovo G505s legacy boot problems

    Notebook g505s hangs up on booting installed linux kernel by grub2 with legacy boot option in bios. Also hangs up on booting Windows7 by grub2 in legacy boot mode.
    Single installation of windows boot's OK. 
    If used UEFI boot and EFI installation of linux and Windows8 all boot's OK.
    Steps for reproduce:
    1. Enable legacy boot mode in bios
    2a(optional). install windows7
    2b. Install Ubuntu or archlinux (MBR disk partitioning)
    3. Reboot for booting from HDD
    4. Select OS for boot.
    Also hangs up on boot of installation win7 disk's in UEFI on disk.sys. In legacy mode win7 install disk boot's OK.
    Looks like bios legacy boot code not fully implemented.

    hi Zidane,
    Since the G505s BIOS properly boots Win7, you're maybe right about the BIOS not properly supporting other boot loaders like Grub 2 in legacy mode but it's a bit early to tell without knowing what's causing the boot failure.
    You can try troubleshooting the issue on the GRUB 2's side by checking the following:
    - Boot Repair
    - GRUB 2 Troubleshooting
    If you're aiming to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu, try to install Ubuntu via Wubi and see if that works.
    In regards to the disk.sys error when installing Win7 in UEFI mode, perhaps you can create a bootable Win7 SP1 UEFI installer try again (with SATA Controller Mode set to AHCI in the BIOS).

  • Multi boot problems with windows 7

    I have DOS 6.22, Windows XP, and Windows 7 on my laptop. This has been working very well but now when i try to boot into DOS I get the following 
    WINDOWS FAILED TO START A recent blah blah blah 
    then it gives me status: 0xc000000F 
    Win XP and Win 7 work great but i can't seem to restore DOS. 
    I have done the following
    Booted on dos 6.22 and did a SYS C:
    then
    Booted on the Win XP install cd and did the Repair option
    so far so good I now have a working DOS and WIN XP machine
    But Win7 is where it blows up and goes back to DOS not working. 
    to restore windows 7 i load XP and do the following command line entry
    d:\boot\ bootsect.exe /nt60 all
    This returns a few lines of text and at the next boot i can load win 7 just fine, load Win xp just fine but dos returns
    the error that i started with. My windows 7 partition is the main one that i use so there is a lot in there to loose I dont what to have to start over with win 7. 
    Unfortunately im line of work we still have to use DOS a lot.  
    Thoughts ??

    Hi,
    Did it work fine before? How did you install them?
    Windows no longer starts after you install an earlier version of the Windows operating system in a dual-boot configuration
    There are two methods by which you can setup the dual-boot. One is to move the existing Windows 7 partition to leave room for MS-DOS 622 at the start of the disk. The other is to wipe the existing Windows 7 partition clean, repartition and install Windows
    7 again.
    The detailed information is below:

  • New Lenovo W530 SLOW booting

    New W530 Type 2436-CTO with Win 7 Pro, 16gb RAM, 256gb SSD.  This is my second W530
    Problem when I boot is it boots very quickly to the Welcome screen and then instead of going to the Win 7 Home screen, the screen goes dark except for the cursor and stays dark with hard drive activiity for about 45 to 55 seconds before the home screen pops up.  After than the computer runs as normal and very fast.
    Some thing in the boot sequence must be the problem.  I did all the Windows updates, MS updates and Lenovo updates.  I am mainly a  user so any help needs to be specific with detail directions.  Hate to send it back when it all works perfectly except it takes near two minutes to boot.
    Last W530 boot like lightning - Please help me

    When I have had slow booting problems, I have found help via a web search for 'diagnose slow boot times Windows 7', or the like.
    At the stage where you are having the long delay, there should be Event Logs listing how long each step in the boot process is taking, and whether that is a change from the previous time the computer booted.
    Here is a guide I have found helpful:
    http://itexpertvoice.com/home/what%E2%80%99s-taking-so-long-how-to-fight-slow-startup-times-in-windo...
    ^^ It walks you through looking at the Event Logs for particular types of messages, especially related to new delays in startup.
    Hope you find your issue and get it fixed.

    When i plug my monitor to the motherboard VGA port, there's no display on the monitor.  However, when i plug my monitor into the Video card's VGA port, there's display. 
    What's wrong with it? This is my second lenovo with the same problem. I didnt do anything to it. It is my first day using it.  Also, i called Lenovo Tech Support, they remotely helped me do all of the driver update....

    You must enable multi-monitor support if you wish to use the internal graphics when a graphics card is installed.

  • Recover/install Win7 onto multi-boot system - too many primary partitions?

    I have a few questions:  (first a background question, and then I'll get to the heart of the issue)
    First, on a new laptop with factory installed Win7, I see there are 3 primary partitions - a 1.5GB "MBR-0", a ~10GB recovery partition, and the main installation partition.  What is the 1.5GB one for, and what's on it?  An MBR certainly doesn't need 1.5GB.  Does Win7 create that, or is that something unique for Toshiba?
    If I'm using a 3rd party boot-manager (BootitNG via an EMBR on its own partition), can I just wipe that 1.5GB partition?   And, can the recovery installation be set up to create the Toshiba-Win7 recovery partition (and that 1.5GB one) as extended volumes within the Win7 primary partition, and not to make them as its own new primary partition?
    And now to the main problem:  (the gist of it is, how many partitions will the Win7 recovery disks create? and can I customize it?)
    I have a new toshiba c650 laptop that came with Win7 installed.  I created the one-time recovery DVDs first thing (it made 4 of them - Disk 1,2,3, and "64-bit environment").
    I then wanted to set up a multi-boot system between Win7, and 2 instances of XP (one of which is a fresh install, the other being an image backup off a computer that died). I want each OS on its own primary partition, where each only sees/knows of itself.  Also, I'll have one small, 50MB primary partition for the boot-manager program.
    Of course, a drive can only have 4 primary partitions (if working with standard tools like fdisk, etc).  To get around that (if needed), my boot-manager program will support as many primary partitions as I want, provided I use only it alone to manage/create my partitions.
    Skipping the details, here's what I have now:  I wiped the hard drive, except for that 1.5GB MBR-0 partitition, for now, till I find what it is.  (Since XP doesn't recognize Win7, using XP's install cd would overwrite the factory Win7 installation, so I installed XP first on its own primary partition - and it's working fine).  I have the boot manager program on a second primary partition.  I then created 2 more primary partitions - one to place the XP-drive-image into, and one to install Win7.  So, the entire drive is now fully utilized and partitioned.
    But here's the problem...
    starting with the boot manager program, I'm pointing to boot from the empty Win-7 partition, which upon finding no OS, will cue it to boot from the DVD, and go on about its installation business.  So far so good.  At this point, Win7 will only "see" the empty partition reserved for it.  However, if Win7 tries to create an extra 1 or 2 new primary partitions (like how it came from the factory), the drive will end up with 6 primary partitions - not good.  So, my XP partitions would likely get overwritten. 
    Having 6 primary partitions wouldn't be a problem, as long as I create/manage them only with the boot manager - but in this case the Win7 installation would likely create them during installation instead. If I pre-create those partitions (the 1.5GB one, and the 10GB one) with the boot manager, can I point Win7 during the installation to utilize those?  How?
    One more side note:   When I'm in XP now, XP only "sees" it's own partition, but still senses that there's more room on the drive - it just considers it all as unallocated space.  I'm guessing Win7 would do the same thing?  And if it does, I'm worried it would start sticking its own new partitions there into what it "sees" as "unallocated space", even though my other partitions are there.
    If you made it through this longwinded mess, thanks for what help you can provide!  How should I get Win7 on there, without damaging the existing partitions?

    Ok, so I finally got it all to work. 
    In case anyone else runs into this question where you have to use the Toshiba recovery DVDs to reinstall Windows 7, without damaging other existant partitions, here's the trick:  You have to pre-create an NTFS primary partition at the very front of the disk (1st primary partition), make it at least 20GB (preferably more, since this will be where you run Windows7 - unless you also later create another partition solely for data/programs/etc). Then during the recovery, select the option to keep current partitioning intact.  Everything will be placed in that first partition alone (the contents of which which the Win7 setup will erase), and the rest of your disk will be fine. 
    If you have other partitions already there, and on the rest of the disk, you'll have to first resize the existing partitions to create enough room for this new 1st primary partition.  Then you'll have to shift or slide the current partitions up toward the back end of the disk (with 3rd party software). I also deleted the 1.5GB partition originally at the front of the disk (it's the startup repair partition, I learned), and I had previously deleted the 10GB recovery partition that came factory-placed at the back end of the disk. 
    The XP-partition I already had on the disk is tested and working fine, and wasn't touched at all by the Windows7 recovery installation.  Installing additional XP-images or other OS's should be simple enough now.

  • T400 Boot problem

    I have a strange boot problem: Whenever I reboot my T400, the machine freezes immediately after loading grub. (it passes the ThinkPad screen fine). I multiboot linux/win7, and this is not a grub problem, since when I boot Win7 the machine freezes somewhere in the windows loader, (the windows logo shows) and when I boot linux it freezes in the linux boot loader, with a blank screen, showing just a blinking underline. The disk seems ok too, since I can go for months having the machine sleep to RAM and resume without problem. It freezes only at boot, and the only way to get past it is to remove the power cable+battery/hold power button and pray. Any ideas for a more permanent solution?

    loko, hello and welcome,
    No answer, just questions:  "whenever" you reboot - as in every time?  And specifically _reboot_ as opposed to cold boot?  Reboot from Win to Win, Lin to LIin, Win to Lin, Lin to Win?  And warm reboot, or full power off, power on reboot?
    When you reboot, is it always from an OS that has been fully shut down and _to_ an OS that has been previously fully shut down?
    I've seen some pretty strange things happen when one reboots a hibernated OS where in the meantime the other OS has touched the file system.  I wouldn't expect grub to care, unless this is grub2 - then who knows?
    Also have seen some pretty strange stuff when warm rebooting from Linux to Windows.  It can leave BIOS in a strange state.  On my desktop, my NIC will be dead until I do a full cold boot - from AC mains off.
    Just tossing *stuff* at the wall here,

  • Windows 2000 boot problem

    I have just moved my system to the new MX-6585 board - Did an Windows 2000 "upgrade" to initiate total hardware scan.
    System works ok, when it has booted, but booting is sooo slow.
    Found a Microsoft article describing the problem:
    SYMPTOMS
    After you choose to start Windows from the Boot menu, you may experience a long delay (or pause) before your computer finishes starting. Note that this delay may range from 10 seconds to a minute. Also, this delay occurs before the Starting Windows progress bar appears, and your computer may appear to stop responding (hang) during this time.
    CAUSE
    This behavior can occur if Windows is installed on a drive or a partition to which Windows cannot gain access with normal Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) INT-13 or INT-13 extension calls. When Windows Setup determines it cannot use BIOS calls to start, it uses scsi() or signature() syntax in the Boot.ini file instead of multi() syntax.
    My question is: Does MX-6585/BIOS in any way hinder the INT-13 calls to my Adaptec 2940???

    Thanks! I sent the following message:
    There are no IDE devices in my system, only SCSI. My hd is an IBM Ultrastar 36XP DRHS-36D. When I start the system up, the SCSI & MSI BIOS screens display normally, then BOOT.INI appears. After I select one of my NT-type OS's (NT4, W2K, WXP), there is a 30-second delay between the time I press the Enter key at the BOOT.INI screen and the time the OS actually starts to boot. (The BOOT.INI countdown time is limited to 5 seconds. I am *not* talking about this time.)
    Since the same hardware was transferred from another installation (with a non-MSI mb) in which the same Adaptec drivers were used but this 30-second delay did not occur, the delay appears to be due to the MSI BIOS. Interestingly, W98 is also installed on this hd and it appears in the BOOT.INI list. When I start up W98, the 30-second delay does not occur -- as soon as I press the Enter key, W98 starts to boot.
    Other end users have complained about this same boot delay. See the post "Windows 2000 boot problem" found in the MSI user forum here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/viewindex.php?threadid=6970&boardid=10&page=1
    I'd estimate our chances of success at 1%. Still, it's far better to complain and not be heard than never complain. That way, we get to complain even more.  

  • X200s + OCZ Vertex 3 cold boot problems

    Hello,
    I installed an OCZ 120GB Vertex 3 drive in my Lenovo X200s Thinkpad laptop (drive firmware 2.15, latest X200 bios) and have had endless problems with coldboots. I have win7 (64 bit) and ubuntu 11.10 (64 bit) installed and can only get into the GRUB2 menu once in 3-5 times (loads of ctrl-alt-delete or off until I get through). However, going to sleep then restarting the machine works fine.
    win7 doesn't work with AHCI enabled (loads of random BSODs) but Ubuntu is fine. In compatibility mode, win7 boots but may not have liked the latest updates, will need to come back to that later.
    I've checked other forums (including the OCZ forum) and the solution right now seems to be to upgrade the drive firmware to the latest 2.15 version and to "secure erase" the drive before reinstalling. People who have "secure erased" their drives are fine for a few days but then the problem reappears. RMAing the drive doesn't seem to help either.
    So basically, what I'm asking is if anyone's been through the same cold boot problems and / or managed to fix this.
    Cheers,
    John

    Obviously it is the OCZ Vertex 3 flaw. I have a friend finally threw it away and brought a Plextron one. Please have it replaced. I think you should get the hint that the drive is buggy when AHCI causes BSODs.
