Lenovo G530 making an image

I want to install XP on my new G530 but before I do I want to close the drive incase for some reason I need to revert back to Vista. DOes anyone have experience with this? Any suggestions
Thanks

how would I go by making an image of a disc(age of empires II) so that I dont have to keep inserting the disk in.
The application you need is Drive-In. It can be obtained from
http://www.flip4mac.com/drivein.htm
It is currently available as a free beta, which works just fine.
This does precisely what you want. Giving you this information does not contravene the terms of use of this forum. I will explain:
Drive-In has one use only: it makes a disk image of any DVD, including commercial copy protected ones, so that you can store the DVD on your hard disk for playback only. You will not be able to copy it, or burn a DVD from it, as it preserves the copy protection on the DVD it makes the disk image from. It is for convenience only. For full details refer to the above link.

  • Enabling the webcam in lenovo g530

    hi - i've downloaded and installed all the xp drivers for the lenovo g530 and they're all working and recognised by xp in the device manager. i was particularly pleased to see that finally i had got the correct drivers for the webcam and it's registered in the device manager under the imaging devices section, but it still does not come on. i've tried the esc-fn, but that does absolutely nothing. i've been working on this bloody machine for 3 complete days now and am ready to take it back and demand something else. please could someone guide me on this as it's driving me nuts.
    many thanks

    un-install the camera drivers, restart your computer and install it again.
    by the way, make sure the function keys are working.

  • Disabling laptop mouse on Lenovo G530 / XPpro, SP3

    Lenovo G530 with XP pro and SP3
    This shouldn't be as hard as I'm making it. I always use a USB wireless mouse but the laptop touchpad (Synaptics) is always getting bumped or dragged on while I'm typing - sending me places I don't want to be.
    There has got to be an easy way to disable this thing. I've tried mouse settings from Control Panel, Device Manager properties,  MouseKeys, uninstalling the drivers and software (they just re-install on restart). 
    OK, I've done things the hard way as usual; can someone please tell me the
    easy way?  Thanks

  • Lenovo G530 There Has Been A Signature Failure

    Hi all.  I have a Lenovo G530.  I followed the manual on how to do an original system restore through BIOS.  Now I keep getting 'There Has Been A Signature Failure'.   I've read online about the partitions, but i don't know how to access them to get me to the next step.  
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but we don't have a support maintenance agreement, so I'll likely end up wiping and installing from scratch if I can't get OEM imaging working.

  • "input/output error' when making disc image from DVD

    I've had problems installing Logic, and a Pro Apps Genius at Applecare suggested I try making an image of the problematic DVD (Audio Content 1) and then trying an install that way.
    While I can make an image of the Install disc to my desktop fine, the Audio Content 1 disc reports an "input/output error".
    This means I'm unable to copy the disc and then successfully install my Logic Studio.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for your answer.
    Yes, I thought that might be the case - but I'd taken my Mac and Logic disks to a Genius bar, and the 'Genius' had said he'd fixed the issue. I just wish he'd explained what he did and why he didn't replace the faulty disk(s)!
    But is there any way around having the claim a disk, now I'm living abroad and my 'warrantee' has run out? It's going to be a pain in the fundament trying to claim a replacement set.

  • Photoshop crashes when I try and save for web and devices. Making the image size smaller does not help.

    I'm trying to make a lopping .gif from an animation that I made. It's 147 total frames. It's crashed about 6 times now every time I either try and Save for Web or even just save the document on my desktop so in case it crashes I can reopen PS and recover it. Making the image size smaller (original size is 1920 x 1080 with resolution 72) does not help, it still makes the *ding* error when I attempt to save. I made the image more than half of the original size and the Save for Web box actually came up that time, but when I tried clicking save it said there was an error and PS crashed without warning.

    Look at the crash report for your Photoshop crashes see what they show

  • "Universal Laptop DC car charger power adapter" for Lenovo g530

    Hey there,  I'm a complete tech numskull, so pardon me if this is incredibly naive.  I recently made an impulse buy of an off-brand "Universal Laptop DC car charger power adapter" with the hopes of using it in a car with my Lenovo G530.  I haven't gotten it yet but after purchasing it, I noticed the power adapter that came with my Lenovo  is "AC."  Is it possible to us the DC adapter with my laptop, where my cord says "AC"?  I obviously don't want to fry my laptop and was wondering what I should look out for.  The adapter was pretty cheap, which is another red flag but it also means I won't be out much if I made a mistake in buying it (ebay purchase). 
    Thanks in advance for your input.

    It seems the spare is the new specs. Check these 2 spares. They are the same 4.74amp. http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-3000-G530-444638U-Adapter/dp/B002Z209G6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronic... http://www.amazon.com/COMPUTER-Power-Adapter-Cord-LENOVO/dp/B002MY2MLM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electron...

  • "Authentication error", making disk image

    I'm trying to make a disk image of my OS X boot disk, as an emergency backup. I'm booting from the Installation CD that came with my Mac Pro, and using Disk Utility. I select my boot drive, click New Image, and tell it to save to an external firewire drive, compressed and encrypted. It starts and quickly errors out, with "Authentication error." What does this mean?
    I've used 250 GB of the 500 GB on my boot drive, and my external drive is 120 GB. I'd rather tell it to skip some files to save space, but it doesn't give me the option to do that. Will "compress" get it to be small enough? Is this why I'm getting an error? I've repaired permissions before booting from the CD.

    I don't know about the authentication error; however, to make a disk image of 250 GB source drive to a 120 GB target is an exercise in futility. There's not enough room. 250 GB? What are storing? A complete music store, the movies of Hollywood, or the pictures in an art gallery?
    If you want an emergency backup of your 500 GB HD, then you'll need an external at least as big. BTW, making disk images for this purpose is fraught with danger since you can't ensure that it's good until you restore it to a bootable HD. I strongly recommend something like Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper!, etc. instead. BTW, you can just drag & drop any data files from one HD to another. There's no need to put them in a disk image and certainly no need to encrypt things. If you decide to go the bootable backup route, move the data files to root-level and don't back those up. That should make your emergency backup a lot smaller.

  • After importing an image from cs5 back into lightroom, lightroom is making the image darker

    Lightroom is making my images darker after i edit them in photoshop cs5 and I dont know why. When i open the image back into photoshop it looks fine. Even when i save it as a jpeg lightroom is making the image darker. When i imported the raw image into lightroom before i edited into photoshop it looked fine. Is there a way to fix lightroom?

    See screen shot:
    Click on the two small triangles and under <Lightroom General Presets> select <Zeroed>. Sorry, it seems that the option <None> is not available anymore in Lr 4.3. But <Zeroed> has the same effect.
    Alternatively, in the Develop Module, bottom right, just above the film strip click on <Reset>.  See screen shot:

  • (SOLVED) Display brightness disappeared from Power Options in Vista, Lenovo G530

    Hello board,
    My system Lenovo G530 product ID 444638U
    I used to be able to adjust display brightness in Vista from Control Panel > Power Options. I could set how bright when on battery and how bright when on AC. Also, it used to be that when I unplugged power cable it would automatically adjust my brightness according to those settings. Now, nothing happens when I unplug power cable, not even a beep.
    Possible problem is as follows, but let's keep an open mind to other things as well. I spilled beer on keyboard recently. ONLY on keyboard I am sure. I replaced keyboard with something that fits but something that isn't made for my laptop, has different arrangement of Fn+ keys. Basically ever since the beer accident and ever since I replaced keyboard I had this brightness issue.
    Please help me solve this.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I solved this problem..
    Solution is to upgrade the BIOS to latest version. I am not sure actually whether latest BIOS had the needed fix or not, or it was just the process of updating the BIOS that solved this issue.  But no doubt, after flashing the BIOS, display brightness function reappeared!

  • Lenovo G530 - problem with certain keys on keyboard

    hi everyone.
    I have a Lenovo G530 and I am having an odd problem with the keyboard.  If i press the spacebar when I type anything, i get the system date and time.  If I press the H button, I get a hn and i get nh when I press the N key.  Also get gb when I press G and bg when I press B.  The rest of the keys are fine.  Any ideas what could help???
    I has this problem about a month ago and I remember reading somewhere on the net that if I press Alt-Crt-Del and some other key, it shoudl work... and it must have cause the problem stopped.  But now it's back and I can't find that combination again.
    I have Windows Vista installed.
    Thanks!!! 

    Hello,
    I doubt it's a hardware problem at all. I believe it's a "fun" program running on your machine that does this. Someone put it there for you.
    A sure way to make sure what it is....... connect a USB keyboard to your laptop. If that USB keyboard is doing the same thing then it's software related, if not, then it's hardware related.
    If it is infact a funware there or a virus you'd have to go to a malware forum and ask around. If it turns out to be malware try Spybot Search & Destroy.

  • Need an answer Lenovo G530 laptop.. The support line doesnt work in my country..

    Hi, first i live In Israel and i've called the main support line and they told me they dont deal with my laptop and directed me to the ones who do > their phone is offline all day (when they should be *working* between 9 am to 5 pm). I've called them before a few years ago and they gave me much help.  Hopefully some one in charge can give me a working phone number for support. 
    I have a lenovo g530 laptop, its overall nice and i got it as a gift few years ago. Its been bugging me for a long time tho. 
    My questions that i've been thinking of for years: 
    -I've downloaded the BIOS drivers from the driver page and after installing them on all: windows xp, windows vista, windows 7 they caused a BSOD (blue screen of death) and i had to re-format my computer and re-install windows. So my question how exactly can i install the BIOS without crashing my system? My Bios have been at 1.0 for a long time.. 
    Second, you might just say 'no' you cant right away but... 
    -This laptop runs on an imbeded 'chip' thats supposed to function as an internal video card, i've noticed some G530 laptops have Nvidia geforce 9300m on their Laptop, is it possible to install it on mine? (buying the video card and adding it in?), if not.. Is there a video card on this planet i can install on my laptop?... Am sure people ask this all the time because Mobile intel 4 express chipset is absoloute garbage and if i knew i was getting this laptop i would of never allowed my parents to purchese it. 
    Tl,dr:
    How do you install bios without getting bsod and having to re-format.
    is there a video card i can add instead of this imbeded piece of crap i got (any video card.. Am sure something must fit the motherboard.. And i know the imbeded once works with the Cpu and its internanly connected.. Cmon man.. i dont wanna throw away this laptop and buy a new pc). 
    Please respond and help!.

    if you called them today, due to it's sunday, it's normal that they don't answer.
    about upgrade, if you have the mxm solution, it could be possible.
    about bios, you should've reseted the bios after flashing. it also could be compatible issuee, i'm not sure
    ( you may need to upgrade drivers, too )
