Lenovo g550 linux intallatio​n doubt ;need to intall 32 bit or 64 bit?

Hi!
I Have a Lenovo g550 which has Win7 Home Basic and Windows Vista Business(This one has been installed later).
Now, I am planning to install the latest version of Linux Ubuntu. But, When I am going to download its iso from the main Website, it gives me an information -  "If you have a PC with the Windows 8 logo or UEFI firmware, choose the 64-bit download. Read more ›" Wht should I do?Especially because both of my o/s-es and processor(Intel Pentium Dual core) is 32-bit .

Hi,
Ubuntu advises the 64-bit version for some machines because it (12.10 64 bit or later) is required to install and boot on a UEFI/Win 8/Secure boot machine.
If you have a 32 bit procesor you can and must use a 32-bit Ubuntu version on your machine.

  • Lenovo g550 windows xp drivers will not load

    Help!  I purchased a Lenovo G550 yesterday and am in need of assistance.  Unfortuantely it doesn't appear that there is any way to contact Lenovo, the website doesn't show any method of even emailing them without an IBM service tag (which unless you are corporate user you can't get). 
    I purchased a lenovo g550 yesterday configuration is 3gb ram 160Gb HDD.  Upon booting the system I discovered that in fact users only get access to about 100Gb of the harddrive the rest is set up under multiple hidden drives.  I the system came with windows 7 home edition.  I need windows xp.  So through several hours of work I was able to create some unallocated space on the harddrive.  I loaded my copy of windows xp professional to this space and since windows automatically selects the drive name it is drive D: 
    I went to the lenovo website prior to loading xp and manually downloaded every driver from the site (very time consuming, I saw another way via a forum but was not able to locate it on the lenovo website).  Immendiately after loading xp and rebooting I loaded the intel chipset driver.  Then rebooted.  No other drivers will load for any of the other pieces of hardware.  All of THEM, everyone crashes with an error message that there is not enough disk space on c: to load.  I would guess that there isn't since c: is a 200mb hidden drive created by Lenovo. 
    Does anyone have a work around for this problem with the lenovo drivers?  This has turned into a multi-hour project for something very simple - putting an alternative operating system on the computer.  I cannot put xp as the c: drive because of the lenovo hidden partition is named c:.  I don't want to delete windows 7, as I expect to move to it in the next year but right now I several thousand dollars worth of software in xp and need to use that software. 
    I sure would appreciate any assistance :-)  Again the issue is the lenovo windows xp drivers, everyone of them excluding the intel chipset driver will not load under windows xp when windows xp is loaded onto the d: partition.  they all say they want to load onto the c: parition which is not an option.
    thanks in advance for any help and if anyone knows how to get in contact with lenovo would love that also.

    Well if you do not want win7 all together, then just delete all the partitions and install your XP. But if your not wanting to mess up this drive to be able to use the win7 later then just buy a cheap HDD to put XP on. --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148452 $10 off and free shipping. but being that you already tried installing XP then you already messed up win7 anyways(if you did not make the restore disks), your better off just deleting and redoing XP.

  • Where is the software for the Lenovo G550???

    I want to do a clean install and replace the pre-installed Vista with Windows 7.
    I see that the Lenovo G550 download page has drivers for Windows 7, but where is the pre-installed software, like Veriface, camera software, and all other pre-installed Lenovo software? I looked at all OS options for the G550 on the download page, and NONE of them had the G550 laptop software, all they had for each OS option was only  the drivers.
    I understand that I can make a recovery DVD, but as I understand  it, it will return the system to the factory fresh state (all pre-installed programs installed, but also with the factory installed VISTA  - yuck!). I didn't see any option to only re-install the  Lenovo software without also re-installing the OS.
    When I look at the download pages for other Lenovo  laptops, I see that they have drivers AND SOFTWARE, but the G550 has no software except for the drivers. Since the G550 came with no software disks, and there doesn't seem to be any of the software online, how exactly does one do a clean installation of an operating system, and then re-install the Lenovo software, on a G550?
    I was able to find downloads of programs like Veriface on the Lenovo site for different laptop models, but unfortunately those were much older software versions, and for a different Operating system.
    Why can't Lenovo post all of the software online? If they aren't going to provide the software on DVD when they ship the PC, then they should at least have it online; so that people can do a reinstallation if necessary. DELL doesn't seem to have a problem putting all of the software for their PCs online, and they also provide it on disk with the PC.
    Do I have to find the hidden backup partition and then copy the Lenovo software installation files to a DVD or different drive myself? Has anyone done this, and if so, can they please provide some assistance as to the best way to accomplish this task?
    If there is a different/easier way to accomplish my end goal of a G550 with a Windows 7 clean install, and also with a re-installation of all pre-installed Lenovo software, I would be extremely grateful for any assistance. If there is also a way for me to select which factory software I wanted to install, that would be even better ( I don't need all of the crapware that came on the PC)
    Thanks in advance,
    Sven

    Thanks, I'll give that a try when I finally get the Windows 7 upgrade disk.
    It seems ridiculous that Lenovo doesn't support this product for Windows 7, especially when they mentioned the "FREE" upgrade (with ridiculous "shipping and handling charge") to Windows 7 on the web page where I ordered it. Being a reasonable person, I assumed that when they offered a "Free" upgrade to Windows 7 with the PC, they would also provide the basic software to allow the built-in hardware like webcams to keep on functioning as they did under Vista.
    Had I known that they would refuse to offer any software on disks or download, I would have ordered a DELL or some other PC that has a reasonable level of customer service. I am not a typical user; I don't call in for customer support. All I need is the software and drivers, and I will install it myself.

  • Lenovo G550 Windows 7 Professional Upgrade

    This Notice refers to 2958-A5U and 2958-A4U models of the Lenovo G550 notebook PC’s only.
    The 2958-A5U and 2958-A4U G550 systems ship preloaded with Windows XP Professional, and include a Windows 7 Professional upgrade disk.  
    Issue: When upgrading from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7, some users have been unable to successfully complete the upgrade.  The most commonly reported failure point is when the customer is asked to insert a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) key. The Microsoft Upgrade process for Win XP to Win7 requires the upgrade to be executed from a ‘cold boot’. If the Windows 7 DVD is inserted while the system is running, the installation process will auto run. However, at the end of the installation process, the system will ask for a 25-key Certificate of Authenticity (COA). The Win7 upgrade process will not successfully finish the installation using this method. The installation DVD must be inserted while the machine is powered off and not running.
    When upgrading from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7, Microsoft advises that this process be done via a custom ‘clean’ installation.  Per Microsoft.com; "A custom (clean) installation erases the contents of your PC's hard drive. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7".  The clean install will remove any pre-loaded software applications, including VeriFace, One Key Recovery, and other applications that were installed by Lenovo or the user. 
    Customers should review the following information prior to performing the Windows 7 Professional upgrade.
    The Windows 7 installation procedure provides a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional edition. During this process, all contents of the C: drive including all applications, files, programs and user data will be archived in the Windows.old folder.  The data should be available for access, but the applications and programs will not run, and Windows 7 appropriate versions will need to be installed. Lenovo STRONGLY recommends that external backups or all user data are made prior to initiating the upgrade in order to prevent permanent data loss.
    Correct Windows 7 Upgrade Procedure:
    1) Power off system
    2) Insert Windows 7 disk in the DVD drive
    3) Power on system and press F12 to access the boot order menu
    4) Select the option to start from the DVD / Optical drive
    5) Follow the on screen directions as Windows 7 installs
    6) Remove the DVD at the end of the process and reboot to Windows 7
    Windows 7 has native drivers that will fully support most of the hardware on Lenovo G550 systems.  In order to maximize the functionality of the Trackpad and the Power Management system, the appropriate Lenovo drivers must be installed. The most current Lenovo Windows 7 drivers and applications are available for download here. Please check this site periodically for updates. 
    Recovering to Windows XP by using One Key Recovery:
    The One Key Recovery feature can restore the factory XP downgrade preload at any time, but will erase all other data. 
    Important: All user data should be saved prior to implementing the following procedure
          1) Power off the system
    2) Press the recovery button (small round button next to the power button)
    3) System will start and OKR (one key recovery) application will load
    4) Select System Recovery from the menu
    5) Select option to Restore to factory default 
    6) Click “Start” button to recover your system partition
    Cheers and regards,

    The recovery disk set is supposed to have an SLP key embedded, so that you do not need to activate it, as long as the disk set matches the OS version that is nominated on the COA attached to the laptop.
    If it really does say "windows 7 ultimate", then there is something odd going on. Can you please double check that it says "ulitimate"?

  • Lenovo G550 Graphics Very Bad, want to install external GPU

    Hi everyone!
              I own a Lenovo G550 (model 20023). It currently has a Intel Pentium Dual Core T4500, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator(That's one hell of a bad GPU!!!!), 4Gb DDR3 Ram(had 2gb DDR3 Factory Installed), with 3 operating systems(Yes, three!).
               I can see that the Gpu bottlenecks the whole Computer. My objective is to run Prince Of persia:Forgotten Sands at a proper resolution and at medium Graphics Mode without High Resolution Textures(or Minecraft at about 100 fps At full setting, in 16x16 texture pack).
               I see that the only way to safely increase without turning my computer into a paperweight si by using a External Gpu. But, I dont know anything about them(like Where to get them readymade, Will it fit into the PCI ExpressCard port etc.). Please give some Information. 

    hi atreyabain,
    The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator on the G550 is soldered on the motherboard and can't be upgraded. There's also no PCI / PCI-E slot on the mobo where you can add a discrete card. AFAIK, there's no ready made external GPU. You need to do it yourself . See the following:
    How to make an external laptop graphics adaptor
    How to Upgrade Your Notebook Graphics Card Using DIY ViDOCK
    Although it looks promissing, it may not be practical and you're better off buying a mid/high-end rig for your gaming needs.

  • Lenovo G550 move partition to new HDD (including one key recovery)

    Hi guys.
    I have a Lenovo G550 laptop.
    I am looking to change out the existing stock HDD with a new SSD drive (from what I understand from other Lenovo support services, it is SATA II compatible (see http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essent​ial/Lenovo-G550-HDD-SATA-I-or-SATA-II/ta-p/692351)​...
    Firstly. Is it possible to change the stock HDD with an SSD drive? I have a budget of about $100 AUD so it would only be a 60-120gb HDD. Would 60gb be enough (I really only need about 30gb of space on the c: drive), or would I need to look at the 120gb option.
    Secondly, is there any way of migrating the entire contents of the existing HDD to the SSD HDD?
    I have the ability to connect them both externally, and a spare blank 1TB HDD that I can use in the interim if needs be.
    Ultimately I would like the SSD drive to have the one key boot partition and the original Windows on it. I don't mind loosing all my programs and files - I can back them up and install them in my leisure.
    To complicate matters, my DVD drive isn't working (but I do have an external DVD drive I may be able to use, even possibly booting from. But not 100% sure if I can boot from it!)
    And to further complicate matters, the laptop has recieved quite a bit of use, so the sticker with the product key number has been worm off. Argh!
    Thank-you in advance for the assistance.
    Cheers,
    Dale.

    Just done this with a G770.
    Simply back up all the HD with Acronis or something to your 1TB disk. Not sure how you would connect this. USB would be best.
    Exchange the laptop HD for the SSD
    Boot Acronis with the CD and Restore your backup.
    Works fine.
    You'll have to check the bios to see if you can boot from Ext DVD.

  • Lenovo G550 does not charge battery!!!! please help!!!!! :c

    So i havent used my Lenovo for about a year and a half because i had lost the originial charger. ive recently bought a new cheap charger from amazon and thought it was the charger that was the problem when i looked it up online and found out it may be a bug from Windows 7. Now, this charger does turn on my laptop, but it does not charge it. It simply says "plugged in, not charging" and when i was reading an article on how to fix this , i was trying for hours to uninstall a program under device management called Microsoft ACPI- Compliant Conntrol Method Battery, because it was said that uninstalling this would help the system charge again. but after countless hours, i found that the program reinstalls itself and i am left with a laptop that just wont charge. my laptop says 0% (plugged in, not charging) and i really need this to work for the upcoming school year. i dont know what else to do! whenever i disconnect the wire the system completely shuts down and if i dont fix this problem ill just have to get rid of my Lenovo G550, which i absolutely LOVE! please, anyone help me! do i need to install a new version of windows? do i need to uninstall something? or is my laptop absolutely done for?
    please, please, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    hi Chernandez51,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    From your observation, it seems like the battery was fully discharged after not being for a long time (batteries degrade overtime due to age, heat, and usage).
    What you can try is to charge the battery for an hour or two while the computer is off then observe the status light indicators.
     - Link to picture
    If the battery still doesn't take a charge then the battery might have gone faulty and needs a replacement.
    For best compatibility, I recommend you use a Lenovo approved AC adapter and charger. You can buy one from the lenovo spare parts website (www.lenovospareparts.com) or you can buy online (eg. Amazon, Ebay, etc.) but ensure that there's a Lenovo FRU part number on the item..

  • Lenovo g550 VERY Strange Keyboard Problem

    Hello  All,
       Sometimes, whenever I type on my Lenovo g550 laptop, the letters will sometimes stop working. For example, if I press and  normal letter key such as "k" it will come out 0 and if I keep pressing the key it will type 01234567890 and keep repeating that. It's not just with certain keys though. It's ALL the keys. If I type the sentence "the dog jumped" it will come out as "012 345 678901". Please help, I'm pretty sure my laptop is still under warranty so I need help ASAP.

    it could be because of you re-partitioned the volume. warranty may cover the issue if you have valid one ( international warranty - iws - )

    you can order recovery discs. call lenovo support line.

  • Ubuntu 9.10 and Lenovo G550 problem

    Hello,
    I have one Lenovo G550 recently purchased. I've tried to install Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10, but both OS wouldn't boot. I'm not sure where the problem lies, as I'm Linux newbie and all I get is a dark screen.
    I haven't tried to install it into a partition (because I'm afraid to lose the "one key recovery" software), but I've tried to install it via Wubi and also tried to run its live versions. All of them ends the same way: the LCD is turned on, but shows no image. I've tried to access the terminal (by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1), but nothing happens...
    Do anyone have some idea about what is happening?!
    Thank you.
    Edit: I re-tested version 9.04 with no-acpi and it worked fine.

    Hi
    Tries with Ubuntu 9.04, this works well.
    same thing happened to me. greetings

  • [HELP] Can I install a new version of Windows 7 on my Lenovo G550?? (+ One Key Rescue???????)

    I bought a Lenovo G550 with 4GB DDR3, T4300, 320Gb. It came with Windows 7 BASIC installed and I'd like to install a version of Windows 7 Professional I have here. I want to do a clean install!
    Well, when I started the installation, the disks were partitioned as follows:
    1. 200 Mb - System;
    2. 233 GB - Hard c: \ (where I believe that Windows 7 Basic is installed)
    3. 30.2 GB - Lenovo (here are the drivers, totaling 800MB used!)
    4. LENOVO_PART - 14.8GB [OEM] (is a hidden partition! Probably the One Key Rescue. He says CAN NOT INSTALL, OEM is because, for the MANUFACTURER)
    The question is: if I delete the first 3 partitions, leaving only the hidden partition (Lenovo_PART-14.8Gb) and install Windows 7 Professional, will work?? If later I want to restore the system using the discs created by One Key Rescue, will work too? That will give an error?
    PLEASE HELP! Windows 7 BASIC sucks!
    (Thanks to google for the english translation)  

    OK - I was under the impression that you had a brand new machine and did not have to restore any data stored already.  If it were me - I would back up all of my data - not with True Image - but just back it up.  Then I would do a clean install of Windows 7  (getting rid of all those partitions) and either create one or two.   I just use one and then do regular images wtih Acronis True Image - but you could create two - one for the OS and applications and another for all your data directories. 
    I don't know how you would do a new install while trying to create the partitions exactly the way Lenovo has them when the machine is delivered.  (I don't think Lenovo does either)  So - I would make it simple and just get rid of them all after your data is backed up.   If you have new applications loaded, I would just install them again.  Not the most convenient but in the long run you will have an easier system to back up and manage. 
    I'm not a fan of Lenovo's instant restore proceedure, because A: it is complicatied, and B: it doesn't buy you anything if you crash your hard drive anyway.  It is really only good if you A: do regular backups with the instant restore, and B: either have a virus or corrupt some data and need to use it.  You can do the same thing by using the Microsoft system restore point proceedure.  So - to me it is just a gimick and makes your drive a mess wtih hidden partitions, etc.  
    That would be my approach.  I would NOT try to backup your current configuraton with Acronis before installing a new OS.  It can be done - but I think it will be very messy.  A much better approach would be just to delete all of those partitions with the Windows 7 install proceedure - then create just one or two new partitions as you install the new OS.  Then start using Acronis to do regular images on your drive.  You can also do incrementals so it only takes a couple of minutes each day. 
    Installing Windows 7 is a piece of cake as it finds all the drivers for you.  Just make sure you have it connected to an ethernet cable.  Then install your applications and then load your data back.  Very straigtforward. 
    The advantages you will get will be:  A:  You will get use of your entire hard drive space.  B:  It will be much easier to manage and back up.  C:  Using Acronis to backup your drive will be simple  D: If you ever lose data you can simply use Acronis to restore the directory or data file, or E:  If you lose your entire hard drive you simply get a new one and then restore from the Acronis CD and point it to your last backup image. 
    I hope this helps.  Good luck. 

  • Lenovo G550 Service Partition problem

    Hello,
    I've bought Lenovo G550 (without OS) and by mistake deleted my Service Partition, which contains files for OneKey recovery utility. I've searched forum, but hasn't found anything exact.
    As I've searched, I've found out few things:
    - If I change any partition size, OneKey is no longer working
    - Only service support can fix this problem, in some countries I've gotta pay
    I'd like to ask you for help. If there is any chance to DIY (do it yourself), just by downloading needed files and creating new partitions with required space.
    I'd really appreciate if someone was there to assist, or just providing some more information about this problem.
    Sorry for my English.
    Thanks a lot !

    there are about 113 backup wsi file, the one with number 34 seems damaged. for factory backups there's another issue with it. did you make any changes on volumes? cause if you did, one key recover and one key recover button will stop working.
    in normal circumstances, eisa part is not visible. i'm not sure if it works if you copy files to usb.
    if windows vista installed, run one-key recover 6.0.
    already got backups, skip "back up" otherwise click that.
    select full backup, quick compression and next >
    choose the path or leave it default and next >
    and start.
    after back up ends, restart the application one-key recover 6.0
    click "create recovery disc" and next >
    select the backup you have and next>
    this screen will tell you how much cd or dvd you need, min 2 dvd or 8cd, max 7 dvd or 28 cd. and next>
    insert the blank cds or dvds into driver and wait until done.
    you may need the system image, you can lose your back-up cd, or cds may not working after a while, so , i still recommend that you keep the original copy or more than one backup.
    size of recovery cd depens on how much size of disk space you use. its up 2-7 dvd or 4-28 cd.

  • Lenovo g550 update

    Hi, I have a Lenovo G550, and I want to run xna 4.0 but I can´t, because I need to update the intel 4 series chipset ; but lenovo only has a version from 2009!!!!!! version 8.15.10.1994 and the new version is 8.15.10.2555, but intel do not recomend me to install the update because is not designed for Lenovo.
    Should I try the update or wait for Lenovo to TAKE CARE OF HIS CUSTOMERS and realese the latest update??

    You can update the driver from Intel website as it will work properly. However, you may face issue when you increase or decrease Brightness the Onscreen bar will not display
    Best Regards,
