But Now it is saying " Insuffient space and not highlighting patitions in the receovery process step 1. It shouws the partitions but not highlighted. I tried several times.But the same problem. How Can I solve this problem and get recovery done. As I bought this laptop in India and using in UK. I can not call customer service now. Could any one of you please help me. Do I need to do partition again and try recovery or Is there any simpler way. I can not buy expensive partition software. If Partition is mandatory which partitions should i make and in which format?
My Lap Details:
15.4inch Lenovo G550 with 320GB and Windows 7 Home Premium and the processor is Core 2 Duo.
Please help me
Thank you,

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

Hi all i now have a working Copy of the Hard Disc image that you create with the One Key Recovery System that has the entire image of the Hard Disc.

Its for the Lenovo G550 with Nvidia 210M Graphics card which 500GB hard disc it might work with the 320GB version or a 105M Nvidia card but it will not work with the Intel X4500 version as the driver is not there how ever you can easly download the drivers from intel.

Lenovo Twist recovery problem

Hi everybody.
I've just got my new Lenovo Twist s230u with Win 8 installed. First thing I wanted to do was to install linux on it. Everything seemed working fine, I knew 'bout recovery partition, so I hoped to re-install Windows, if smth. bad occurs.
I formatted two partitions (unfortunately I don't remember neither their labels nor sizes). Linux worked properly and everything was fine. But soon I understood that my windows is still unregistered, so my warranty can be spoiled. I entered the recovery menu and pressed reset button. But the recovery tool said, that some useful partition is missing.
On linux I can see several partitions:
LENOVO_RECOVERY
WINRE_DRV
SSD partitions and my linux partitions.
So I'm sure I didn't format the recovery partition.
Please help me to recover my pc. Please say if there is a way to recover it from usb stick or smth. like that. And say a few words 'bout partitioning on Lenovo twist.
Thanks a lot!

Lenovo G550 one key recovery and wi-fi problem

Hello all,
I have recently upgraded Vista to Win 7 on my G550 and I have a problem with the wlan connection. I get connected, but there's no internet access, only "limited connectivity". The driver's installed correctly, I've checked each and every setting and cannot find the source of this problem.
My OneKeyRecovery is not working anymore, I looked at the drivers site and saw there is no Recovery driver for Win 7. How can this be?
Anyone care to help me, please?

Could be a problem with the Lenovo ReadyConn-software, as described here:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Value-line/Lenovo-G550-Wi-fi-Problems/m-p/153935;jsessio...
Not sure if it applies to w7, but it could be worth a try...

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

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.

have you tried to install drivers on safe mode or manually?
after you locate the .inf file for the driver that you want to install, manually install the new driver. to do this, follow these steps:
- click start, right-click computer, and then click properties.in the tasks pane, click device manager.
- if you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click continue.
- in device manager, locate the device for which you want to install the driver.
note to display hidden devices, click show hidden devices on the view menu.
- right-click the device, and then click update driver software.
- click browse my computer for driver software, click let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, and then click have disk.
- in the install from disk dialog box, click browse, locate an .inf file for the device driver that you want to install, and then click open.
- follow the steps in the update driver software devicename dialog box to update the driver

Lenovo G550 problem during games and warranty

Hello,
I have lenovo G550, it has G210m graphics card with 512Mb memory.I bought it on 5-jan-2010.
From last 2-3 months my laptop suddenly switches off when i play games(after 5-10 min).I thought this was due to dust and overheating so I get it checked on the lenovo service centre, but overheating or dust is not the issue.
1.Is there any chance that graphics card has some problem..if not what could be the issue??
2.I got one year warranty.Can i extend my warranty and how much i have to pay for 1 or 2 year warranty..??
Will the warranty covers all parts..??
personal information has been removed for your own security

first of all, 3000 serie laptops are not designed for games. you should've bought ideapad serie laptops instead of.
but it seems you have some issue with graphic adapter. can you download any application to check temperature?
you can extend your warranty, better to contact lenovo via mail. lenovo will respond your questions about warranty costs.
( make sure you apply before your current warranty expires )
