Lenovo T400 type 6475 Problems installing windows 7 64bit

Hello everybody,
I have a Lenovo T400 and a few day's ago i tried to reinstall my windows 7 from my dvd and everything went nice and smooth till it reached the last reboot before the time/zone settings and the username there it remained in the win 7 logo and it stud there for about 15min before it moved on to the next step. I can't take this i tried with another hard drive i changed cd's but nothing worked. I reinstalled a Win XP x86 it installed fine.
My laptop has a P8600 cpu, 6Gb Ram 1066, 500Gb Seagate 5400rpm, Dvd-rw,
Please help me.

hey costin83,
the Win 7 cd was it made through Rescue & Recovery or did you buy it on your own ?
the T400 of yours, did it come with Win 7 or with Win XP ?
If the Win7 cd is your own; try it on a a different computer and see if it works. It could be that the cd itself is damaged.

Problem installing Windows 7 64bit using bootcamp

Hello all,
I am sorry to ask a question that has probably been asked many time. It almost three days that I am browsing all possible forum but I have not been able to find the solution to this particular problem.
I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on a 27" iMac (late 2009) with Mountain Lion operating system. So, let's start from the beginning. I have used BootCamp assistant to partition my hard drive following all the possible official instructions on how to install Windows using Bootcamp. The Bootcamp Assistant successfully partitions my drive, the computer restarts automatically and the windows 7 installation starts correctly using the inserted DVD. The windows installation goes on perfectly, the computer restarts a couple of times but after the last restart I see the "Windows starting" window than my screen goes black and nothing happens anymore.
After some research I found some instruction on hoe to download the Windows drivers on a USB key and I followed all the steps suggest her . The problem is that I can't even get to the point where I can install my drive from the USB because I have never been able to actually complete the Windows installation. I tried rebooting the the Boot Manager but my Mac does not see my USB drive (Sony 8gb).
Can someone please help me? This issue is driving me nuts and I really need to urgently use Windows.
Many thanks to all for the help, in advance

The Mountain Lion Windows Support drivers are available from within Boot Camp Assistant as a download. Start Boot Camp Assistant and select the option to download the Windows Support Software. Follow the instructions for saving the downloaded support software. When you boot into Windows make sure the device containing the drivers is inserted into a usb port and your Windows dvd is not in the computer. Windows will boot from your installed Windows on your hard drive and it will install the support software from the usb tick.
You should visit the Boot Camp forum where installing Windows and the Windows Support Software is explained in hundreds of posts.

Problems installing Windows 7 from a USB stick

I have got a brand new W510 that i am doing a clean install of Windows 7.
However i have faced major problems with installing from a USB stick attached to the W510.
Please notice that there isn't any problem installing Windows 7 to my other PC from this USB stick, this problem is only present with W510.
I have the BIOS from Lenovo v 1.35, Bios settting are reset to default to isolate any faulty settings.
In the readme file the say they have fixed some USB detection problems by Windows. bug still present??
Version 1.35 (BIOS ID: 6LET74WW) [for BIOS ID 6Lxxxxxx-based computer]
[Problem fixes]
- Fix an issue that a USB device is not recognized by Windows connecting
to USB 3.0 port.
Below is picture of the problem.
First i choose to boot from my USB Stick Sandisk Cruzer which Windows 7 files are placed, i know these files and the USB stick works with my other computer.
Picture 1
Next step when it boots
Picture 2
I press Install Now
Picture 3
This warning message comes up, can't find driver device
Picture 4
I click browse and try to find my USB stick, none of my USB sticks are listed, is this a Lenovo BIOS bug or Windows 7 Installation detection problem??
Picture 5

I think you need to fix your links, you seem to have maybe copied the post from another board / forum, the link style you have inserted doesn't work here.

Having problems installing Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro w/Boot Camp

Having a problem installing Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit) on my Macbook Pro (mid-2010) 13". I use the Boot Camp Assistant, download the necessary drivers and burn them to a disc. I insert my legit Windows 7 install disc, and the process begins but once I get to 'Completing installation', my mac freezes and I have to restart it and delete the partition. This has happened twice. I have contacted Apple and Microsoft and neither of them said that they could help me with the problem so if someone has had a similar issue and found a solution to it, I would really appreciate the help.

Hi S,
You may want to post in the Boot Camp forum where more of those experts hang out: https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

Problem install windows on mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with 10.9.1

I run into problem install windows on mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with 10.9.1. Boot Camp Assistant shows error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.". So what is the problem and how can I work around it? I also tried to only chose "Install Windows 7" option, but it could not recognize my windows dvd (which I created from ISO). Any help is appreciated.

Problems installing windows 8 on a mac

Hi to all,
I am having problems installing windows 8 on my late 2010 mac book pro. I have created the boot camp partition on the hard drive and have begun the windows 8 install. I have reached the point of where you need to restart the mac and have tried to restart only to find that I can't, so I have pressed the power off button to switch off. Then I press power on and have come to the black screen with the writing no bootable device detected, insert a disc then press any key. I have tried this but nothing happens, I have tried the mac osx disc, and still nothing happens. How do I reboot my mac, anyone????.
Cheers

Thanks bob,
I have read elsewhere on the Internet that windows 8 is supported on bootcamp and that it works.
Sometimes yes, often no, but it is unsupported officially so you'll have to live with it.

Hi,
Please check if file allocation size is 4k for boot/system partition. Windows basically does not support non-default file allocation size for boot/system partition.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information

Problems installing Windows 7 on new iMac?

I've heard from users on other forums that there are some problems installing Windows 7 on the new iMacs, mainly that the display goes blank partway through installation due to some kind of driver issue. Can anyone confirm this or elaborate? I've heard there is a workaround but it sounds a bit complicated and I'm wondering if I should just wait until Apple patches Boot Camp with full Win7 support.

I would wait until Apple updates Boot Camp to officially support Windows 7.

Problems installing windows on new retina macbook pro

Hi i am having problems installing windows on the latest retina macbook pro, I end up getting an error , cant install windows on this GPT partition style. I have tried booting into windows , and EFI, but it all ends up with the same error. Please HELP.

Did you use Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive? If you want both Windows and Mac OS X on your Mac that is what you have to do.
If you only want Windows then you can install it by itself but you have to delete all partitions on the drive and format it NTSF from inside the Windows installer or a third party Disk Management/Partitioning/Formatting program.

Problems installing Windows 7 with boot camp, cant find the cd/dvd driver...

I´m having some problems installing Windows 7 on my new 12,1 (21,5) iMac with boot camp. When the computer restarts and the Windows 7 setup begins, i get the message that the cd/dvd driver cant be found, so i can't continue the installation. I've tried searching online for the driver, but can't find it. The cd/dvd seems to be a OPTIARC cd/dvd ad-5690h, which seems to be produced by Sony. I have a authentic windows 7. I even tried loading everything ver to a usb-drive, but then it wont boot.

After reading around on this, and other forums I tried to burn a new dvd at reduced speed(2x), but that did'nt work either... I have an authentic windows 7 iso, downloaded with serial, is there any way to boot this from a jump drive or external hdd?

Problems installing Windows XP on at K7N2G-ILSR

Hi,
I am having problems installing Windows XP on at K7N2G-ILSR.
Config.
K7N2G-ILSR
With 2 120 GB Western Digital WD1200JB drives
Liteon CDRW and Toshiba DVD
Memory ME-512MB-PC2700 DIM/DDR333/512MB/PC2700
Bios settings are all set to default. And at 4/2003 version
The WD drives are plugged into IDE1 with one as Master and the other Slave. The CD & DVD on the IDE2 with the CDRW as master and the DVD as Slave.
Boot to Dos the Drives are seen with no problem
Try doing a clean install and the System always hangs after initial driver load and Hangs when Blue Screen states "Setup is installing Windows"
Any Ideas?
Thanks

Have you tried changing the APIC function in BIOS. Either disable it or set it to MPS 1.1 see if that helps.
Also make sure your FSB is 100MHz and make sure your jumpers on the mobo are correctly set up. There are a lot of installation issues relating to FSB and win XP.
And finally make sure your memory is fully compatible with nForce boards. The default answer to everyone's nForce platform problems.

Found "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing" when installing Window 7 64bit.

Hello,
I just bought X220i with Core i-3, ram 8G. When I tried to install Window 7 64bit (Coz of Ram 8G), I got the message “A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing...”. I did browse the driver (using USB 3 Driver) but, it didn't work.
Any idea to resolve?
Thanks in advance.

What media are you using to install win 7? USB DVD drive, flash drive, ??? Downloaded ISO or Lenovo or Microsoft DVD?
One reason (of many) you can get this error message is bad media - corrupt download, bad burn, defective flash or optical media. I've also heard of problems with USB ports causing this. If you're using USB media, have you tried another port?
And as NINE asked, when in the process do you get this error?

Satellite A500 - Can I install Windows 7 64bit?

I first bought a Satellite A500 with 4Gb RAM just over 3 months ago with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium installed. At first I had the initial dramas with finding 64 bit drivers etc then it ran OK for a while. After about 2 & a half months I started getting BSODs with error message related to an nvidia .sys file. After a few weeks of this, updating latest drivers etc, and a number of unsuccessful attempts to diagnose the problem, it was occuring every time I used the laptop and to top it off the touchpad finally died as well. The company I purchased from gave me a replacement laptop.
The new system is also a Satellite A500 and although it has a different model number and faster CPU it is otherwise virtually identical to the the one I had previously with 4Gb RAM and the same nvidia graphics card. However for some reason Windows 7 32 bit has been pre-installed. I'm not sure why the company didn't install 64 bit. A call to the tech dept with the question resulted in the answer "better for you", meaning 32 bit is better for me.
My laptop is 64 bit capable. I know that when running the 32 bit version it only utilizes up to 3.2Gb of the installed RAM (my system says that 2.99Gb is useable - assume rest is allocated to graphics?) but I've read a post where the poster said that he/she found running 32 bit Win 7 was actually faster than the 64 bit version, even tho it wasn't utilizing all the RAM.
*Can someone tell me if I am better off running the 32 bit version of Windows 7 rather than the 64 bit version?*
*If I am better off with 64 bit, can I upgrade to 64 bit or do I have to do a complete reinstall?* No installation disks were supplied. Presume setup files are on hidden partition.
Although I haven't had any BSODs with this new laptop, I have had a couple of occurences where the system has frozen temporarily with the messge "Your display driver has stopped working" followed by a recovery. Is this a Toshiba, nvidia or Windows 7 thing? I've read quite a few other posts from people with similar laptops to mine who've had the same Toshiba/nvidia errors but no resolutions. *If there is going to be a problem with this graphics card, am I better off with 32 bit or 64 bit Windows 7?*
Any advice would be muchly appreciated.

Hi chrissy_h,
I have to say that there is no performance difference between 32bit and 64bit. The only important point is that 4GB RAM or more can only be used on 64bit system. As you wrote, 32bit OS can only handle up to 3.2GB but not more.
I think 32bit OS has a better compatibility to older applications so its preinstalled. Furthermore for the most applications 3.2GB RAM is enough and normally you dont need more.
Theoretically you can install Windows 7 64bit but dont forget that there is no upgrade option. You have to make a new and clean installation of the whole system.
Furthermore you need a Windows 7 64bit disk from Microsoft with license key. This can be purchased from every computer shop I think.
Last but not least check the Toshiba website. There you can find all available downloads for your notebook. :)
