Lenovo IdeaPad U410 with windows 8 . I want add windows 7 64bit error

Hi, 
i just buy this laptop that come with windows8, and i want install in dual boot windows 7 wich i use.
The installation from USB PEN DRIVE START , after change some bios boot setting, but i get the error:
windows cannot be installed to the disk. the selected disk is of the gpt partition style site
I read many forum ant it seem problem due to the raid configuration of the 2 disk coming from Lenovo. 
I would like to mantain this configuration without delete all and format the hard disk, i just want add windows 7 in other partition . Is it possible?
Any suggestion will be helpful!

Hi all,
could not agree more!!! And I don't even wanted to upgrade but simply do ONLY a new, clean install of Win 7. As a result of the really crappy instructions (there aren't any, all that is available are various contradicting posts on the user forum) my machine now even does not get into BIOS anymore!
And I am currenty in Ecuador, bought the machine in Germany. When I called technical support in Germany all they said, we don't know, send us the laptop. That will esily be half a year until I get that laptop back!
And all because there is NO guide how to re-partition your HDD and SDD, set up the RAID correctly and install Windows!
Well, at least there is now light at the end of the tunnel. I got promised a solution how to at least get into BIOS again. Then I STILL have to figure out how to manage to do the clean install....
I would think it would take an experienced lenovo technican half an hour to write a decent installation guide and put it on the web as a PDF and that would avoid lots of hassle for gzillions of people who buy the u410. And how about actually making the current BIOS and flash instructions available? Can't be all that difficult really...

  • Lenovo Ideapad U410 scrolling down with a grey screen

    HI,
    I just recently purchased the Lenovo Ideapad U410 and sometimes when I try to scroll down with both fingers, a grey line and background bar starts to come down and encompass the whole screen, rendering the screen and all my apps useless. And then on the right side, it shows the time and date squished togetherand I can't seem to get out of it unless I go back to the start and then open the desktop again.
    Why is it doing this and is there a way to stop it because when it scrolls all the way down, the laptop won't work and if I don't touch the touchpad, bubbles start forming forming as if it's a screen saver.
    Thanks

    It sounds like your hard drive is failing or has failed. It cannot repair the disk and is suggesting you back up and format the drive. Do you already have a backup?
    A couple of things to try first:
    NVRAM reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379

  • Lenovo Ideapad U410: part of screen is white

    I have a Lenovo Ideapad U410 and the left part of my screen is uniformly white after turning on the laptop. It's a rectangle about 1 inch long, from top of the screen to the bottom.
    I got this suddenly pretty much a month after buying the laptop (it appeared suddenly and I didn't do anything to cause it), and then the area of the white rectangle got bigger after I mistakenly dropped my laptop yesterday. 
    Would buying a new screen and installing it fix this, or could the problems be more besides the screen? 
    And is this covered by limited warranty? 
    Thanks.

  • Ideapad S510p USB 3.0 driver malfunctioning with Windows 7 64bits

    I have a Lenovo Ideapad S510p , with a Ci7 Cpu preinstalled.
    I installed Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate, everything worked properly except for the USB 3.0 driver
    When inserting a USB device, it does not work until the laptop is restarted.
    I removed the driver (and deleted it from the disk) and installed the driver from the lenovo website, but still the same problem
    On the USB 2.0 port, everything is working properly
    Only the USB 3.0 port is malfunctioning

  • Is PE7 compatable with windows 7 64bit?

    are there any versions of Adobe Premiere Elements besides PE8 that are compatable with Windows 7 64bit? I have heard of lots of problems with PE8 and I would prefer using PE7 if possible. Actually I use PE3 with XP home 32 bit and love and don't really want to upgrade but it seems like i might have to. thanks

    i downloaded the PE8 trial and have worked with it for a couple of hours and had only one glitch so far. while capturing it froze after about 10 minutes, i had to capture the rest and splice it in. i added some titles and a 2nd audio track that was mono and used audio effects to copy left track to right track, i faded in video and audio and so far everything seems to be working fine.
    i have an intel MB  D975XBX2
    dual core processor,
    4 gigs of RAM
    win7 pro 64bit
    it's taking a little getting used to but probably not as hard as trying to learn a whole other program like sony studio for example. i've got 30 days and i'll keep using it and see how it goes but so far, so good.

  • Ts-L633a DVD drive not compatible with Windows 7 64bit upgrade

    Ts-L633a DVD drive on my Pavilion Dv7 1232nr is not compatible with Windows 7 64bit upgrade but will work fine if I downgrade back to Vista 64bit so what DVD drive is there other then the TS-L633a drive that I already have that is compatible with the Windows 7 64 upgrade so that I can buy and install on my laptop.

    Here's one out of nowhere:  do you have CD/DVD software that includes Sonic DLA or something like it?  I've seen that take over drives and prevent normal operation.
    If you right click on the drive and hit properties, are there any suspicious looking tabs?
    Total WAG, and about 1% likely, but there you go.

  • New iMac 21" with Windows 7 64bit - NIC speed only 100Mbps

    Odd issue. I have a new 21" iMac with Windows 7 64bit installed (fresh) but can only get the NIC to transmit at 100/10Mbps. I have another older 20" iMac on the network running Windows XP which is connected at 1Gbps. I've installed the newest Broadcom drivers for the Windows 7 machine but it only connects at the lower speed. I've replaced the CAT5 cable as well. I'm still researching this issue.

    http://i56.tinypic.com/29pdpp3.jpg

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It's the inverse. The Late 2012 iMac is only compatible with 64-bit Windows versions in Boot Camp. The main reason is the memory: the iMac comes with 8 GB of memory, and a 32-bit Windows version can only detect 4 GB or less. Also, it's time to upgrade to 64-bit operating systems, that works with both 32 and 64-bit applications.
    If you want to use a 32-bit Windows version, the only solution is to install Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install Windows in a virtual machine

  • X200 with Windows 2008 64bit

    Can someone give me some hint on how to resolve this issue?
    I bought the X200 and installed Windows Vista 64 bit without a problem. I am now creating a VM with Windows 2008 64bit but received this message after installation and reboot: "Attempting to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not compatible with 64-bit mode."
    The CPU is Intel P8600 which is 64-bit compatible. Why did Vista 64-bit install and run properly and not Windows 2008?
    Thanks !

    I found the answer to my question on this blog...

    Basically, yes with VMWARE only, not MS VPC...

    Is it possible to install ESXi 5.5 on a PC I5 3770K with windows 7, 64bits and motherboard asus Z77 ?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Here's the follow up:
    I took a chance and installed MAC OS X 10.4.9 COMBO and QT 7.1.6 update, installed FCS 2 suite and my old TRV 340 still works perfectly.
    I erased livetype included with FCE HD as suggested by apple tech note, and the installing process worked like a charm.
    I keep my version of FCE HD 3.5.1 and original soundtrack . Both applications work well side by side with FCP 6.
    Great.

  • HelpPane.exe automatically starts with Windows 7 64bit.

    HelpPane.exe automatically starts with Windows 7 64bit.  I have to start task Manager and disable it or else it keeps popping up.  I cant find where to disable this service from startup.  Please Help.

    Hello
    I found a simple yet effective solution for this problem, my friend had the same issue so instinctively as a technician, I suspect this was a malware of somekind so I re-formatted and installed Win7 funny it's still there, so I did a Hard disk wipe using
    Dalvik's and re-partitioned and formatted again, to my surprise it still have the same problem.
    So I ask Mr. Goo' old Mr. Google for answer, but I've found more complications, sorry for the story, so without further a do, the solution.
    Boot to safe mode. (may also work in "normal mode")
    Go to Task Manager>
    Click the Services Tab>
    Right click "HelpPane.exe" or Help and support service>
    Select Properties>
    Click the Security tab>
    Click the Advanced tab (for permissions options)
    Then select the "permissions entries" one at a time>
    Click Change Permissions>
    Then click Edit>
    CLEAR ALL THE CHECK BOX FOR ALL ENTRIES
    This should prevent access to the HelpPane.exe to all users/programs.
    This resolved my friends Windows 7 "Help and Support thingy" issue, hope it does yours too.
    Message me for questions and/or clarifications/corrections.
    Thank you

  • WET54GS5 with Windows 7 64bit

    I would greatly appreciate some help with getting my WET54GS5 Wireless Ethernet Bridge to work.  I just got a new computer with Windows 7 64bit, and at the same time installed a new Linksys E3000 Wireless Router.  I would still like to use my existing WET54GS5 to work, but am having difficulties.
    First, I do not have the Setup CD any more.  I have searched vigorously on the web, and can not find it anywhere for download.  Could some kind soul please zip up the disc, and make it available for download?
    Second, I did try to access the bridge directly with the 192.168.1.226 address, but that did not work.  And I did try the Reset procedure numerous times.
    I know that new versions of the Bridge are available, but they only have one port available -- I need three.
    So, many thanks in advance for any help, particularly if anyone could make the Setup files available.
    Best regards,
    Nick P

    Answers for both questions,,
    First original
    To connect directly to the
    WET54GS5 you must make alterations in the adapter settings of the computer,,, since the bridge is almost like a funky switch you will have to adjust the computer adapter manually to IP 192.168.1.90 and click the subnet box to autofill that in than just apply that. close out and you should be able to access the manual web based aplication. Make sure to set computer adapter back to auto obtain IP once you finish. doh just saw previouse post http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=6bf4ec9e5c6e44618af5f50f91c49c59_4894.xml&pid=80&r...
    The other question reguarding using one of the WET adapters and connecting a switch I am doing that right now and it works perfectly,, although it does create a extra network device to appear within the main network so some computers think there is multiple networks.. a little annoying but not a serious problem. Mainly only with older computers like XP

  • Lenovo IdeaPad U410 - PowerButton Flashing LED

    I have removed Battery and CMOS battery to trouble shoot this U410 which often will not POST.
    If I plug in the AC power supply I press the power button very briefly it flashes on and off a few times.
    Press to turn off then press again and it comes on and stays on, then it WILL POST and I get the expected:
    CMOS battery failure
    FI to continue, F2 to enter set up…..
    F1 and it boots normally into Windows 7 but of course the date and time are way off…..
    Can someone tell me what is happeneing when the Power Button LED flashes on and off?? Whatever it is..it is clearing the block to this thing POSTing..will always POST after this...

    That really doesn't indicate much of anything as there are no light error codes for your model.  The light is just an indication that the machine is trying to boot up before shutting down. 
    You might try stripping all the hardware out of the laptop and then see if the boot up is any different with and without the CMOS battery installed.  Remove the hard drive, optical drive, wireless card and bluetooth if it is installed. If you have more than one memory module try them one at a time and in different slots.
