Lenovo G510, i5 - Problems with booting Windows 8.1 from media disk
Hello,
I know that some of you got into this little trouble too, so please help me out.
Yesterday I got a brand new Lenovo G510, i5, with free dos and tried to install the Windows 8.1 from a media disk.
The problem is that it won't boot from CD.
I got in Bios using the Novo button, changed the boot mode from legagcy support to UEFI and nothing happend.
I tried the boot mode to legacy; boot priority to dvd and still won't do it.
It is still trying to boot from the network...is this posible?
How can I get it to boot from CD/DVD?
Some help, tips, indications would be great!
Pretty please
Thanks a lot,
Irina
hi Rurulinda,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Boot again inside BIOS
Try setting these
Under Exit TAB
OS Optimization or OS Optimized Should be set as Disabled or Other OS
Under Boot Tab / Start up Tab
Boot Mode Should be set to Legacy
Boot Priority Should be set to Legacy First
UEFI Boot should be set to Disabled
Quick Boot Should be Disabled
Secure boot Should be Disabled
Now press F10 to save everything and Exit
Computer will Restart now inster your CD / DVD Disc in and Turn Off the Computer.
Now on OFF state
Turn it back on and Start tapping F12
This will give you a boot selection with your DVD / CD as an option to boot from.
Hope this helps
Cheers!

Does that happen since 1st OS run? Or after some driver{s} or software installation?

P35Neo2 FIR and problem with booting
So I have problem with booting my compie. Compie try to boot to the part of start windows, after that in case of switch into graphicis mobo going down and restarting (WinXP SP3). I think, that problem is not in PSU, cos i have 800W XILENCE (+3,3V 28A, +5V 32A, 4x+12V 20A, -12V 0,5A, 5VSB 3A), Board P35 Neo2 FIR, E7200 proc, bios 1.9 (updated). I have 5 disk and use raid function in bios. Graphic Radeon HD3650, Memory Zeppelin 4x1GB KIT 800Mhz.
I start with change of PSU from 550W to 800W but it didnt work, previus PSU had (+3,3V 30A, +5V 32A, 2x+12V 18A, -12V 0,8A, 5VSB 3A),
i try change memory, but no efect.
After update bios there was standard warning about bad cheksum, after resave Bios settings it was gone, and compie boot after that.
Any idea?
ThanksSo my problem is solved...but my feeling of this is not good...
I updated BIOS from 1.9 to 1.10, reset Bios settings, after restart i pressed F2 for load standart settings and i changed in Bios only that i am using RAID and disable disket and it works...i boot my compie into windows without any problem...
So i try change another things in Bios and my compie hangs in continous resets without booting into windows...no BSOD only restart and restart...
After reseting Bios settings and again Load to Default it works...and run windows...
There was only one new thing ... screen flick for the second with new screen about checking NVRAM ....this screen was not visible before (and maybe this is the problem), cos if i change something in BIOS about clocking and power management and other ones, this screen is by booting missing...and compie not run in Windows...
Next thing what i see, that in CPU multiplication dont work multiplication 9,5 and proc used frequency 2400 (9x) (it is E7200 on 2533)
i hope that this bios 1.10 fixed my problems...and my opinion is that P35 Neo 2 FIR is not ideal board for E7200 proc...so i m looking for another proc...and maybe another board... -
I've also spent hours on the phone with both apple and windows technical support specialists. This is very clearly not a windows issue. I've given my computer a clean boot, disable my antivirus and firewall, and then attempted to download (yes, from apple's website). I've delete all of the programs (in the necessary order) and then attempted reinstalling with absolutely no luck. I'm starting to think that there's absolutely nothing I will be able to do. I've also never been able to fine "apple software updater or apple software update on my computer, which is particularly odd because I haven't found a post in this community that answers that question. No, "apple software update" cannot be found by accessing the start menu or anything in the "C drive". Apple software update is also never included in the itunes download package that I get from apple's website (the others, such as bonjour, apple application support, and apple mobile support are). No matter what I do, I always get the mesage at the end of the download, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
This may or may not be related to the "apple software update" issue.Apparently it's an itunes issue. I just tried to update and got the same issue. Called att to activate my iphone 4s and they say they can do the swap but apple is telling them itunes is down atm. So will have to wait

Problems with Boot Camp - PLEASE HELP!
I'm having problems with Boot Camp. Here's what's happening. I ran Boot Camp Assistant, partitioning a 32GB BOOTCAMP drive. I insert my copy of XP and start the installation. My MBP restarts and boots into the Windows Setup. I let it run through the initial actions. I press ENTER to proceed, F8 to accept the license agreement, then when I get to the part where I should be able to select the Partition 3 BOOTCAMP drive (as it says in the Apple Boot Camp Manual) there is only a Partition 1 Unknown drive. It is the only drive to choose from and its a C: drive. I can't figure out why after I run boot camp the partitioned drive doesn't appear as an option in the windows installation. Please help!!!
Message was edited by: CarlConti08Boot into Leo, start Disk Utility and you should see two partitions, your Leo partition and a Fat32 partition of 32GB at the end of the drive.
If not, boot camp didn't create it for some reason. If it is there then check it with DU and make sure its OK.
While your in there give it a name so you can easily identify it in your windows installer.
If there is no partition, create one using Disk Utility at the END if the drive. make sure you create it as a msdos (Fat32) partition and give it a name. The name cannot be more than 11 characters must be comprised of numbers and/or letters (no special characters).
Verify it before exiting DU.
Put in windows install disk, reboot - hold option key after the chime until you see the boot screen - select windows CD to begin install.
Don't forget to install Leo windows drivers after installing windows.

Problems with the windows update site in 32-bit Vista Business
Hi Everyone,
I am experiencing problems with the windows update site. As far as I know it shold make a link to the Windows Update module on-board and show the available updates after scanning. However, I get to the page that says "Checking if your computer has the latest version of Windows updating software for use with this website" and the next page I get is "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view". The error number is 0x80070002. I go to the knowledge base and delete the content of the Data Store folder as advised, but to no use at all. Active X controls are enabled Java is working fine. I've cleaned the register and everything, did a complete scan with Onecare as advised by Microsoft, which did not find anything but again the same error message. I am using KIS 2009 and I am sure I have no viruses or any other malware. I even tried to go to the update site with the KIS switched off but to no avail too. On the other hand I don't have problems with the automtic updates and when I run a manual update from the Update module everything is OK. Do you have any suggestion as to what might be the issue with the website updates?
P.S. I am using 32-bit Windows Vista Business on a Lenovo W500.hello
You may be having a problem with the windows update agent.Since its a problem relating to windows update microsoft support personnel may help you out.follow this link and contact them by chat or email

Problems with the (WINDOWS 8 pro -64 BIT) IN THINKPAD L520 - 5016 RL2
I have some problems with the (WINDOWS 8 pro -64 BIT) is not working properly IN THINKPAD L520 - 5016 RL2.
1. Message appears telling me that the drivers of the display has been restored crash.
2. The mouse pointer moves very slowly sometimes, and sometimes does not move for a while.
3. Device software such as lenovo-airbag protection , lenovo-internet connection and lenovo web connection........ its is not compatible with the system, and do not work.
What is the solution؟Hi, MUJAHED
I have a few questions for clarification I would like to ask about your first two issues:
1) Can you copy the contents of this message and respond back with them. Any error codes or direct quotation from the system can really help in diagnosing a problem.
2) Does this only apply to the TrackPad, or does this behavior also occur with an external mouse? It may help to download the latest mouse drivers for your system, which can be found here.
As for your last issue with the Lenovo service not being compatible with the system: Unfortunately, software for these applications has not been released for Windows 8. Windows has its own network settings that you can use to connect to the Internet and networks, so that is still possible, though you may not enjoy it as much as Lenovo's program.
Best,
Adam

Problem with upgrade Windows 2003 to Windows 2008
Hi,
I have problem with upgrade Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2
When I run installer it check compatibility drivers and programs after that appear message that I need to uninstall "adaptec storage manager" but I already remove this driver from the system and registry.
Any ideas to solve this problem?
My server it's IBM System x3500
RegardsNot sure if this issue was solved or no longer relevant, but I had the same issue with the same IBM x3500 server type.
Based on the SETUPACT.LOG output from the Server 2003 to 2008 upgrade compatibility check, the problem was that the driver AACMGT.SYS is unsigned, and hence not acceptable for running in Windows Server 2008.
AACMGT.SYS is a part of IBM ServeRAID but unfortunately, even the latest versions 9.3 to not seem to update or replace this file. It's also possible this file is a residue of an earlier, deprecated version of ServeRAID, I don't know.
In the end, to get passed the Upgrade check hard stop, I did this, though I'm not sure if all steps are needed:
0. Make sure you have a system backup in case you break something doing this steps. If you do break your system and cannot recover from backups, it's not my fault!
1. Go into Device Manager --> Disks and check the Driver properties for the disks on your system. You might have AACMGT.SYS listed for some/all disks and also listed as unsigned.
2. Uninstall IBM ServeRAID from the system, just in case
3. Do into Device Manager and go under Disks, and manually Uninstall all the disks in the list including "AdaptecArray SCSI Disk" and some other secondary. I did not reboot right away.
4. Go to console, go into C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS, and rename AACMGT.SYS to something else.
5. Reboot the system and hope it still boots. Go into Device Manager -> Disks and make sure that AACMGT.SYS is no longer listed.
6. Run the 2003 to 2008 Upgrade process again. The Compatibility checker should no longer flag "Adaptec Storage Manager" as a blocker. -
Lenovo G510 wifi problem (Solved?)
Hello, few days ago I bought the lenovo g510, which comes with Win8 x64.
The laptop works perfect except the wifi does not connect me to any network. When I try to connect it tells me the connection is limited or null
Looking in the device manager, my wifi seems to be:
PCI \ VEN_14E4 & DEV_4727 & REV_01 & SUBSYS_060914E4
Where I can get any driver to work properly?
thank you very much
SOLUTION?:
I think I've found a solution (a workaround) ...
For next wifi card:
PCI \ VEN_14E4 & DEV_4727 & REV_01 & SUBSYS_060914E4
"Broadcom 802.11n net adapter" <- This can be different
Driver: 6.30.223.143
Date: 06/08/2013
OS: Windows 8 x64
In the device manager, right button and click on wifi device Propierties -> Advanced options -> WMM -> Disabled
This will force the card to work in g mode (54mbpps), but at least it connect and dont disconnect with the time...
Solved!
Go to Solution.Going through the device manager worked for me too, FINALLY!
Been spending the last week since I bought my G510 to get the wifi to work for more then 5 minutes, and this was it.
Thank you very much my friend. -
875P NEO FIS2R problems with booting at power-up
Having problems with booting at power-up.
Recently, with no apparent modification to system - at power up the system will often not boot. About 80% of time systems seems to go into a loop with CD/DVD drive light blinking a few times, then the floppy drive light comes on and can hear the FDD run – within 30 seconds or so, this process starts over again. Power switch LED is on and HDD LED is on (continuously). All fans are running (power supply fan, case fan, CPU fan and Intel Canterwood 875 fan ).
Monitor power on light is in power save mode (amber) when system does not boot. When boot is successful the monitor power light turns green immediately.
After pressing the reset button several times (varies between pressing reset button 1 time to 30 or more times) system will then boot OK or go into set up.
Once running there is no apparent problem.
This mainboard comes with D Bracket containing 2 USB 2.0 ports, and 4 diagnostics LEDs - when boot problem occurs the diagnostic LEDs, give a code that in the MSI mainboard manual states “Initializing Keyboard Controller” and diagnostic LEDs stays in this mode until via reset button provides a successful boot and start up.
Have reseated all connectors.
SYSTEM
Mainboard – MSI 875P Neo FIS2R (MSI 6758)
BIOS – AMI v1.8 (has not been updated)
CPU – Intel P4 2.6 GHz - system bus 800 MHz 512 KB L2 Cache

Cleared CMOS - no change same problem. Also, re-seated all connectors at same time.

jumperless if alone on ide
jumpered master /slave if two on it
No, second 40GB HDD was installed months before this issue started and is jumpered as slave drive. Also, no other additional hardware installed for several months before issue. -
I am trying to install iTunes on my PC (using Windows 8.1), but I get this error: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." The iTunes file (64-bit) I am trying to install, is named "iTunes64Setup.exe". What seems to be the problem? Help!
Hey madnest,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having difficulty installing iTunes in Windows. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows

I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that. -
I have Wondows Vista... I tried to upgrade to Itunes 10.5, and received an error orginially stating that I was trying to install a version older than the one I had. I uninstalled all of itunes, and now I'm getting the error message "there is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram required for this install to complete could not be run.
Help! I have an IPhone, and I would like to get my Itunes upgraded so I can download the new Iphone software...
Thanks!I have been in touch with Apple support in reference to my problem. We went through every solution available, and found no fix. The tech then suggested I contact Microsoft concerning this issue. I thought that suggestion was just to get me pointed somewhere but Apple. Boy was I wrong!! I contacted Microsoft, and was directed to a free download called Microsoft Fix. This program fixed something in the regisitor, and wala everything was fixed!! I now have I-Cloud and I-Tunes loaded and working well. So, if you can't install Apple Software and are running Window 7 you might give Microsoft Fix a try, it fixed my problem.....

I am trying to install itunes 10.5, but during the download I get the following message, "There is a problem with this Window Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personanal or package vendor." If this is my personal computer and was able to upgrade to the previous version (pre 10.5), why not now? What is my "package vendor"? And what is it I need to do to fix this? The message is unclear. Unfortunately, I deleted my itunes program, thinking that in doing so, 10.5 would finally load. Now I have no itunes on my computer and unable to sync my iphone. Help!
Thanks - RickHi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,
Peter
