i really dont know what else to do, does anyone know of anyway to get the windows install files back or if i can download them from lenovo
thanks

hi keith2012,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Just to verify:
Did the machine came preloaded with Win7?
When you run Windows Update, are you getting any error messages (eg. 0x800f081f)?
When you said "the recovery partition is gone", do you mean the partition was deleted and it's no longer under disk management?
- Link to picture
If you have a preloaded Win7 OS and you're planning to re-install it then you will need to contact lenovo on how to go about getting a recovery disc (shipping fees may apply) as the factory image (.iso) is not available online.
Alternatively, you can follow this guide on how to create a bootable Windows 7 USB installer. When finished, you can boot from that USB installer by pressing F12 on startup to install a fresh copy of Windows. From here, you can use the Windows 7 product at the bottom of the unit to activate Windows
Note:
This will only work if you have a preloaded copy of Windows 7 with a COA sticker). If successful, you can then download and install the drivers from the G570 drivers page to finish things up.

How to boot a Lenovo G580 from disk

Okay! Apologies if I've missed this exact same post somewhere, I Googled for literally days and couldn't find a sausage about how to boot my Lenovo G580 from disk but I've finally, by accident, found the answer!
So, when you go to the boot menu, it'll look something like this:
(Note: this image is taken from Google, I had no way of taking a picture of my own)
Now, if you're like me, you would think that in order to boot the laptop from a disk, you'd need to re-order so that the highlighted line was at the top! Makes sense, right? Well let me tell you, I don't know what the heck that is but it sure ain't the right option to boot from disk. You need to actually make the 'USB CD' option the first one and viola! It works! I did it on a whim because I'd tried everything else, why not right? Turns out I'm the luckiest person in the world and I did a victory lap of the house.

Hi Daniel,
thank you for your reply.
I just checked again if I can boot the RT-system without the floppy disk, from harddisk only - but that doesn't work ("DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK...").
Of course, the boot order in BIOS is set up appropriately to allow booting from harddisk.
And also, the complete software package was already installed on harddisk via MAX through the previously configured network connection.
Actually, it seems there is no boot loader installed on harddisk at RT-systems for desktop-PC's.
The boot loader has to be launched from the floppy boot disk and afterwards, the further boot program is loaded from hard disk.
Is there anyone who can boot a desktop-PC into RT without the floppy disk? And what do I have to set up in order to make it work for our system?
Thanks,
Tom S.

New Lenovo G570 Teething Issues

Dear Lenovo-connected moderators, outriders and the like (Please note that in error I originally posted this to the other thread):
I just bought in Europe a new Lenovo G570. I have the following issues:
Since I always resize the C: partition I have removed the possibility of using one-key restore. It seems bizarre that Lenovo would force keeping the C: partition at its initial size. Surely it would be possible to write the one-key software to work around repartitioning the HDD. I did the resize of the C: partition immediately after purchase as part of my personal data and program installation and found out later about the requirement not to resize. Moreover, as far as I can recall there was no D: partition already installed, which I might have been able to live with (I prefer multiple data partitions). Any way to fix this problem? For I restored the C: partition to its original size but that didn't help; I couldn't get the recovery DVD's made; the one-key button was non-functional. What do I have to do to get the recovery features back? For I see that for very similar products a fresh install of Win 7 causes all kinds of problems, and in the absence of recovery DVD's that's really the only other option. I should point out that at the moment the computer is working; I'm just trying to do my preventative medicine for the day the computer crashes.
Lenovo's model numbering is very confusing, as is the Lenovo habit of updating system specs on the fly. My model name is 20079; my model number is CB01031166. If I download the current specs for the model from the Lenovo site (just did) they don't agree with what I have. Major differences are that my computer shipped with an Intel i5-2410M processor, a 640 GB HDD and with a separate ATI Graphics Card (Radeon Premium). Thanks, but this leads to issues about driver updates when I search for downloads for my computer on the Lenovo site. In particular, it's not clear to me whether I should be reflashing BIOS with the latest BIOS. On the thread about serious issues with the Idea Pad Z570, I saw recommended the reflashing of the BIOS. You might ask, well why would I go there? Because the Lenovo site does not support searching on models that are not branded Think Pad or Idea Pad. Mine's branded Essentials and it's just not recognized even in the automated search using the Internet Explorer. So searching for Lenovo G570, that's what a Google search turned up and the specs of the Z570 are extremely similar to the G570 I have. So if someone could tell me how to find the driver updates for my model, I'd be very grateful.
I see in the Z570 thread that if the CD is not the first boot priority then the WiFi doesn't work. Does this also apply to my model?
When I boot with an external Sata HDD attached (to see if BIOS will recognize it for boot purposes), the boot procedure freezes until I unplug the Sata HDD. Of course the external HDD is plugged into the USB port. This seems to be a problem with the BIOS, although admittedly I can't recall if the BIOS flash screen shows and it freezes after, or it freezes before it reaches the BIOS flash screen.
I also see that the fan that's always running is actually a serious warranty issue. I hadn't realized that it wasn't some quirk of my software. So here we are with a serious warranty issue. Update: 23/2/12. This does not seem to be a real problem on my machine at the moment. While the fan works more than I would have expected, it will shut down eventually once the computer is not doing anything. Possibly the actual software I'm using on the machine is causing heavy fan use. This is something of a relief.
According to the specs the computer ships with a USB/eSata port. And indeed there is a port in the right place that is different from the other USB ports. The port of course works with USB. However, its shape is not the usual eSatap shape. In particular it doesn't have the cutouts left and right for the usual eSatap jack. Instead it has a cutout at the top. But for the life of me and my dealer, there is nowhere on the Net where we can find an image of the Lenovo USB/eSata port and certainly nowhere where I can buy a jack/adaptor/external SATA disk that fits the Lenovo USB/eSata port.
Here's an image of my USB/eSata port. It's the middle of the three ports. Of course, on the left is something for TV that is irrelevant, and to the right is a normal USB port. How do I find anything to work with it at eSata speeds?
Thanks very much.

Thanks for replying ExJamJus.
I will ask the local reseller, but I suspect they don't know more than anyone else. The problem is that the specs are very fluid on these units--after all, I have a ATI Radeon graphics card whereas the specs typically say that its an integrated (on-the-motherboard) Intel graphics card. Some places, as other users have noted, they do spec it as having an eSata/USB port, but there's just no plug available with that shape with any specification. My technician who sold me the computer thought that the only possibility was that the plug would be introduced later. He'd never seen one and he takes computers apart and fixes them.
As for the drivers, I installed all the drivers. Nothing terrible happened except as follows:
One of the ATI Radeon updates, for Hydravision I believe, comes to an end where kdbsync.exe can't start at boot time because Open.dll is missing. You can follow up on the Internet. The fix is to download Open.dll and put it in the proper folder in Program files. It works now--or at least I don't get an error message at boot time.
This is import for Lenovo: Lenovo energy management upgrade gave me the option to install on top of the old Lenovo energy management but it would require a reboot. So I did it. But what happened was that Lenovo energy management wouldn't start at boot time. I tried repair, no deal. So I had to completely uninstall Lenovo energy management and then do a fresh install. It works now. This is going to irritate people. Bad for business.
It's unclear in some of these cases just what driver is installed on the computer and it's not clear whether the driver installer programs are always coded to check whether the driver being installed is not older than the installed driver. So it makes it a little chancy to download and install a driver that was issued not long before the manufacture date of the product.

Lenovo G570 Need Help

Hello friends
I am installing windows 7 ultimate on my Lenovo g570 but its doest detect the CD ROM so I decided to install using my computer. So I remove the had disk and connect it to my computer and I install successfully but when I connect the HD with Laptop "it boot up to starting windows then it crash with blue screen" and I don't have any backup or anything
please tell me what to do

hi samsfs01,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
If your cd/dvd drive is not working, the alternate way to install Windows 7 is by creating a bootable Windows 7 USB Flash Drive. - check here - http://tinyurl.com/q7m5v2 - for step by step guide A probable reason why you got a bluescreen from the post above is because it's trying to read the machine information where you installed Windows and when you put it on a different PC, the machine information got changed (this normally happens if the two machines are not identical).
Hope this helps.

Lenovo G570 essential - One Key Recovery issue

Hello to everybody and congratulations for the forum. I have a Lenovo G570 notebook which is running the original version of Windows 7 that came installed with. Before I mention the problem I have to state that I have restructured the hard drive by using the program Acronis Disk Director. When I click the One Key Recovery application and choose the RECOVERY option I receive the follwing message.
"The program cannot find the service partition. The service is currently unavalaible."
After checking, I noticed a change in the Default recovery partition (the factory one) and the Windows installation partition. These partitions are not ACTIVE as before. What can I do in order to overcome this problem and achieve to restore my notebook to the factory default installation?

Hello Oust_alex,
First the simple procedure to bring the system to factory setting by using the recovery disc if you have created before altering the partitions.
If the recovery disc is not created then you must restore the partitions as previous and then check.
Last option is to purchase the recovery disc from the service center.
Best Regards,

Ubuntu 11.10 for lenovo G570

I have previosly used Ubuntu Linux for an year on my desktop and would like to switch to Ubuntu on laptop too. But I have some specific worried which I want to clarify before really stepping in it so I don't land on troubles.
My Laptop details:
Lenovo G570
2nd Gen i5; 4GB DDR3 RAM; 1GB ATI Radeon Graphics; # I think Intel HD is also present, I found in system info in Win7.
500 GB Hard Disk
Bluetooth, Wifi, Cam
15.6'' Screen
Now my concerns are:
When I install Ubuntu, doesn the "Fn" hot-keys work?
I haven't got any Linux drivers with my laptop, so how do I install them so that the "Fn" key and other graphics settings can be maintained.
I have AMD Catalyst centre on Win7, how do I got such softwares over Ubuntu
I haven't got any linux tools of OneKey recovey for Linux. So, how do I install OneKey Recovey on Ubuntu; How do I create a special partition for OneKey recovery at the time of setup on Ubuntu.
#If I have missed anything that has to be noted while switching to Ubuntu, please tell me

Can you please explain what do you mean? What problems are reported? I can't go and search for every single issues people are reporting. (sorry)
Every hardware has it's own "personality", it doesn't mean that you will automatically have those issues too and it is different from distro to distro, depending on the version of kernel a specific distro is using.
Too, I know that there are some solutions for the fan issue for Linux. But I do not know what problems are you referring to.
I know it's up to you, but can you first try a copy of ubuntu in live mode? Than you can tell if you have those problems or not
abvasili
I'm just a volunteer. I like to help others where I can. Do my ideas work? I hope so. o_O
Who helped you today? Do not forget to thank him.
My hardware: TP x120e 0596-2ru. Windows 7, sp1, 64Bit, English, installed in UEFI mode.

G570 boot problem

I'm using computers since they were introduced but never came across an experience that I learned by buying LENOVO G570. I used almost every brand of computers but never used this machine at all. Therefore, I decided to buy it, actually it was my bad luck that the brand name deceivesd me. I bought this machine around 18 months ago but used only 6 times because I have around 6 compute due to my love with them, this computer literally died on me. As everyone of us knows that the Economy was not doing good back home for last few years, so I was laid off and that forced me to switch my career to English teaching in Thailand. Last year I came to Thailand and brough a little TOSHIBA (10" notebook) and big & fast LENOVO G570 with me. All the times, I used TOSHIBA because it is very handy. The LENOVO was only used for heavy type of work, about a month ago, I used it and repacked it in the bag safely but when I opened it yesterday, it did the same thing as the gentleman stated in his post. Mark tried to help that gentleman but without asking anything I took the advantage of using his prescription i.e. to reload BIOS to default because I can move around the keys easily. I followed him exactly, started the computer with hitting F2 and then F9 keys but the sound is still there and no change of any sort was found. May be I'm doing something wrong, Mark, please help and guide me especially to reload default setting. I need your help desperately because nobody understands English here and the technician lack in know how to, therefore I am scared and don't want to get my machine more messed up because it is new. Please help and rescue me from this nightmare. Thanks.

Hi Gil_shainfeld,
Welcome to the Forums.
Does the system boot only from power adapter, remove the battery try connecting only adapter.check if the system boots to BIOS when the system retstarts and press f1 button to enter BIOS.
Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists!
Best regards,
Ashwin. S

My Lenovo G570 is beeping

Hi, I've been wondering why my Lenovo G570 keeps on beeping while booting. The beeping stops for a few seconds after the windows logo shows up while on startup. Is there any problem with the hardwares in it? Sometimes when I turn it on, it doesn't beep at all, but usually it does beep when I turn it on. So I don't know if there's anything loose inside my laptop, if I've got a problem with the hardware or is my charger and and power cord faulty.
I've also tried reformatting it with windows 7 (32 bit) and since the laptop came from Japan with a windows 7 (32 bit) as well, it keeps saying not compatible upon installation. By the way I was reformatting it through USB. Any help on this please

Lenovo G570 battery not charging. Battery stuck at 90% but has no charge at all.

Hi,
My Lenovo G570 battery is stuck at 90%. It says plugged in, not charging. It just happened over night. Next day battery refuse to work.
In windows it says battery 90% and is not charging but battery has no charge at all. When I disconnet the A/C power laptop just shutdown immediately. As soon as I unplug the power laptop just shutdown as there is no charge in the battery.
I did reinstalled the Power managment and also updated it. I all unpluged reboot in OS, restart, put battery back and boot into the OS back. Nothing seems to work. Is there any suggestions?
UPDATE: I just installed Lenovo Enery Managment in windows 8 before I was trying in windows 7. In the battery tab there are two options
Maximun battery Life
Optimized battery Health
It is selected to "Optimized battery Health" and won't change regardless of power plan. I click on "Maximun battery Life" and when I open the app again it reset it to "Optimized battery Health".
UPDATE # 2: Lenovo Solution Center say that battery life is GOOD. "Your battery is in good condition".
Solved!
Go to Solution.

LSC (lenovo solution center) does "NOT" support the G570 further information at http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-73784

Help creating a boot disk for ailing powerbook (and journalist!)

Hello, I'm a journalist with a desperate need to recover my Mac.
My Powerbook G4 (operating 10.4.8 I believe) was working fine until I did the latest suggested Mac software upgrade of Safari. Immediately Safari stopped responding hanging up or quitting. So I tried the next recommended update, thinking perhaps the two went together: Security 2008-009 I believe. It required a restart, which I did. (Note: I didn't do the recommended Java or Quicktime update at the same time because I'm currently working in Sierra Leone with terribly slow internet and figured I'd get to it later).
Now, however, the computer won't boot up. I hear the tone, I get the gray screen with the apple, I get the blue screen, I get the opening OS X screen and the blue progress bar, which then quits early on. Then I get a blue screen of alternating hues, which continues infinitely.
I tried all the Apple and web-suggested fixes. I cannot enter safe mode and can only perform functions with the single user mode. I've tried fsck and it said my HD is fine. The problem, I suspect, would be easy enough to fix if I could just reinstall OS X with my CD. However I am currently 7000 miles from home and CD, and in desperate need of my laptop in order to continue my volunteer work.
I do have access to a friend's MacBook Pro 10.4.9 and the internet. I have downloaded Carbon Copy Cloner... however I don't know which files I need to copy in order to create a boot disk. Nor do I know how to create a boot disk to actually put into my computer. I have also been scared by the CCC literature that says I need to erase the target volume... which in this case is my external hard drive containing all of our video footage from the last 8 months!
I use my computer every day, however I am a newbie at using things like Terminal and higher order functions that these occasions seem to require. CCC's Help manual, for me, might as well have been written in hieroglyphs (which, come to think of it, would have been easier as I seem to understand pictures well enough).
I would be eternally grateful for any simple or step-by-step advice which might help me get back to work. I'm training African journalists, and without my computer to edit, we cannot do a thing!
Thanks,
Kim

Here's some trouble shooting methods that I've copied from Apple KB articles:
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time. Release the keys.
If zapping the PRAM doesn't work, try resetting the PMU.
Warning: Resetting the power manager also resets date and time settings. Performing a PMU reset returns the iBook and PowerBook hardware, including NVRAM, to default settings and forces the computer to shut down.
PowerBook G4 (DVI) and PowerBook G4 (1 GHz/867 MHz)
If the computer is on, turn it off.
Disengage the two keyboard latches located between the Esc and F1 keys, and the F11 and
F12 keys. (You may also need to disengage the keyboard locking screw located between the
F5 and F6 keys.)
Lift the keyboard. To ensure no harmful static electricity is transferred to the computer,
properly ground yourself before performing this procedure.
Press and release the reset button located on the upper right side of the logic board near the power button, shown here. Wait 5 seconds.
Press the power button to restart the computer.
PowerBook G4 and PowerBook G4 (Gigabit Ethernet)
If the computer is on, turn it off.
Press and release the reset button located on the rear panel of the computer between the
external video and modem ports. Wait 5 seconds.
Press the Power button to restart the computer.
HTH!
