Missing Quick Start features option in BIOs setup

I would like to enable Quick Start in Ideapad S10-3s.  But the Lenovo Quick Start features option is not available in the BIOs configuration.
I upgraded the BIOs to the latest version, still do not have the Quick Start features option in the BIOS configuration menu.
Is there a hardware problem with the Ideapad?

it's probably hardware. it's actually linux operation system and comes with pre-loaded operation system. did you make any changes on volumes?

  • U310 Touch Cannot Enter Bios Setup with NOVO Key

    I am trying to enter bios and have tried the following and failed.
    1) Through Advance Setup in Windows UEFI Firmware
    2) FN F2 / F2
    3) NOVO Key
    The NOVO gives me an option to Bios Setup but it just boot me back to Windows 8.1.
    I need on-site warranty on this laptop in Hong Kong.  Is the warranty international?
    Solved!

    Hello,
    I don't have an IdeaPad U310 myself, but I'm wondering if you hold down the F12 key after applying power, does that give you a menu from which you can get to the BIOS?  That worked for me on a IdeaPad U410.

  • Can MSI/otherPEOPLE RESPOND to MISSING "ATA PASSWORD" FEATURE IN BIOS (SECUR) ??

    Hello people,
    Can you please answer following ?:
    Note: I can fix anything (Engineer & x-Tech here), so rarely (if ever) ask for help, but one problem is really killing me with Desktop Motherboards:
    I purchased your:
    ProductName#: "Motherboard P67A-G45 (B3)", specific Part# 911-7673-030;
    Part# not important b/c problem covers many Desktop Boards.
    ===
    Let me first state the Question/Problem (short), then go onto Explanation (lengthy):
    MSI-SUPPLIED "BIOS" IS MISSING ABILITY TO SET "ATA PASSWORD".
    IS THERE SOLUTION AVAILABLE or COMING UP; and FOR ALL PEOPLE or if not, COULD I GET ONE IN PRIVATE (might even pay a reasonable fee for modifying BIOS!) ?
    ==========
    Explanation:
    You may call P67A-G45 (B3) a "Consumer" Motherboard, but in reality we're using it for business (here).
    Please assure your Technical knowledge is deep enough b/c to avoid bloating message, I provide minimum explanation for a subject some Sales folks keep confusing with another (people who use cheap computers, have no clue BIOS/PowerOn password has NO relation to Harddisk/ATA Password - so would help if an engineer or technically-inclined customers/enthusiasts respond to following:
    If you use computers for serious business rather than "pictures, music" or similar waste alone; you are likely using either or both protections:
    a) Encryption (Software or Hardware types) and/or
    b) Harddisk aka "ATA Password" (been part of ATA Command Set since mid 1990's, powerusers know).  The term "Harddisk" here is interchangeable with SSD Drives (new SSD's e.g. Intel320series, are ATA Password compliant just like conventional/spinning harddisks).
    I know all about Encryption and it is NOT the subject of this email, in some cases we cannot use Encryption to full extent (e.g. FDE [Full Disk Encryption] in a form of BitLocker, TrueCrypt, PGP, etc.), or we can't use it for the entire Harddisk/SSD, or it has tobe combined with ATA Password anyway.  Self-encrypting/Built-in AES storage like new SSD's from Intel (Intel320) or some WesternDigital harddrives (SED - Self Encrypting Drive) are also not an option.  Too long to explain, just please accept this fact.
    All I am asking to please answer WHY "ATA Password" feature (security) is missing in BIOS and HOW to get it back, either for everyone or can I pay a small $fee to get BIOS modified?
    =====
    Explanation - Detailed:
    ATA Password can be set in most business/hi-end laptops & some desktops BIOS's simply because they don't hide such functionality; cheaper/consumer machines hide it to deny 'idi0t-customers' [who only use computers for entertainment], though manufacturers like Intel , *P, *ell, *enovo/*BM or *sus may offer also on consumer models.  Too bad for MSI you might be losing sales for professional/business applications b/c as an example (my MSI Board part# P67A-G45 (B3) is a good choice for business use (we are using in medium-power CAD workstation, after installing nVidia 560 GTX Fermi).
    Your board part# P67A-G45 (B3) actually doesn't have a BIOS, it's using UEFI - but I don't care how you call it now, we just need "ATA Password"
    function restored.
    By the way:
    Even though UEFI may sound like a new great thing, it lacks what we TECHNICAL people expected in BIOS, so it's as "good" as Windows is "better"
    than Linux, now it's missing some important feature.
    Remember I politely asked for Technically-inclined people to respond, which Sales folks often are NOT.  They keep confusing ATA/Harddisk Password with other passwords - usually PowerOn/BIOS/Supervisor passwords present in most even "cheapo" computers - but completely unrelated & worthless (it can be
    reset by kids in minutes)!  P67A-G45 (B3) does have that password (PowerOn and/or BIOS-style access), but it has no relation to "ATA password.
    No professional takes "PowerOn" or "BIOS" password(s) seriously - it is a joke which can be defeated in minutes (even by kids).  I promised not to explain much, but let me say this much:
    Your data is on a storage device, if a Thief steals your Harddrive/SSD & plugs into another computer/controller board ==> you're DEAD if ATA Password was not setup.  Doesn't mean ATA Password is hard to crack, but it is a real strong protection against moderately violent attack.  Ultimate protection is Encryption, but like I said I am contacting you to give us back "ATA Password".
    Encryption is NOT the subject of this Message.
    The missing ability to set Harddisk/ATApassword (also applies to MSI Mobo with SSDdrive attached, instead of Harddisk) is giving us a headache, in fact I can manage every technical problem but not missing feature in BIOS/UEFI.  Because hacking BIOS and/or using third-party ATA/Harddrive hacktools is very risky and so many people have ruined their hardware, not to mention that life is short and we are not going to spend it searching for some "Hacktools" to bypass BIOS.
    >======>
    Security is one gaping hole with desktop Motherboards.
    In addition to hi-end desktops, in laptops I personally started using Harddisk/ATA Passwords back in mid 1990's in *BM *hinkpads (*BM was first to implementATA "Security Xtension" added into ATA Standard in mid 1990's); later they were renamed as Lenovo, also I used Asus even consumer laptops offered ATA password!; now for business we're using "HP Elitebooks"; but this same ATA Password feature in Desktops is a pain.  Some manufacturers forget it.  MSI did not include ATA Password in this Motherboard:
    Product# P67A-G45 [B3 version], Part# 911-7673-030;
    Can you please JUST FIX IT at least for part# P67A-G45 (B3) PLEASE, we need it so badly I can even pay a reasonable fee.
    I can't transform everything here to use Encryption FDE, even if I could I still prefer having that stupid ATA password
    ================>
    Thanks if you can answer?

    contacting MSI Technical Support is way you should try out first. Whatever I say will not keep other users from responding. So, please, try to relax a little.
    I did.  They said at this time official response is to not change BIOS.  That's why based on experience I found this User Forum, some of the best solutions come from users who venture outside of standard canned response you might get from tech Support for one (1) board.
    If I were some company buying 300 Motherboards, of course MSI might attempt a custom BIOS.
    But the feature I am talking about is so straightforward basic, almost all business laptops (at least my EliteBooks now, and *sus, *enovo, *ell in the past) had iit.  It is usually (wrongly) called "Harddisk Password".  First time I had it in 1998 in *BM *hinkpad.
    Makes stealing your harddisk difficult!  I keep industrial drawings + Banks/creditcards/emails on this harddisk attached to MSI Mobo.
    If stolen, I will need a gun to shoot myself.  FDE (Encryption) is one solution, but for reasons too long to explain need ATA password.
    OK so I will wait  alittle more in case someone did activate it.
    P.S. I am not  a gamer.  But I am a player.

  • G580 Laptop BIOS setup not starting

    Hello,I've a Lenovo G580 Laptop (2nd Gen PDC B960, 2 GB, 500 GB, DOS) When I bought it came pre-installed DOS, and then I install Windows 7 ultimate (32-bit, i didn't know at that time, 2nd gen PDC are 64-bit). My friend recommend me to disable UEFI from boot setup before installing any non-genuine OS, so I did disable that. My laptop is working fine, but all of a sudden it started to do random mouse freezes, surprisingly pressing ALT+F4 works like a charm to make mouse work again (by mouse I mean pointer actually, I'm using Touchpad, i don't think its a h/w related issue)I think may be it's because any virus/malware or whatever that was, and also I was planning to change my OS to Windows 8 (it's after 10-11 month of purchase date), so I decided to format anyway, instead messing up with mouse freeze problem.
    Now strange thing happen at this point -I'm not able to start my BIOS setup, nor able to use quick boot option (to select various bootable device option from list)I try to press recovery key (small button near power button), that open recovery module properly (no glitch/error).
    but unfortunately I don't have any backup made previously so no use of recovery module.and then I restart my laptop, then I press F2, it shows the first screen of BIOS menu, but my system stuck there (unresponsive state), i've no option else directly turning it off by holding power key for few seconds,..and then no boot menu F2, F12 still unresponsive.means whenever i open recovery module it able to open F2 menu (not F12) but that stuck too.
    else it just completely ignore F2, F12I'm not a computer noob (not flaunting), but I spend last 4-5 hours looking for a solution for it, but couldn't find any solution by myself.
    although my laptop is not in not working state. somehow I manage to install windows 8, but it's really weird that I can not access BIOS menu, my laptop is no longer in warranty period so I can experiment with it any way I want. 

    Hi envolt,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that G580 is not entering the BIOS menu and hanging at BIOS menu it at all it enters it, performing flee power should resolve the issue; below are is the step to perform Flee Power.
    Remove the battery and any other peripheral device connected to the computer. Hold the power button for 10 seconds and then connect only the AC Adapter and try to turn ON the computer and enter BIOS menu.
    If the issue persists even after performing Flee Power, I would Strongly Suggest Calling Technical Support for Assistance this is the only available option to get this query resolved, Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number, I’m sure they will be a great help.
    Do post us back if the issue still persists.
    Best Regards

    I have a brand new T540p with Windows 8.1. I did all configurations needed, Windows is working.
    Problem:
    Pressing F1-Key (+ Fn or not) during system start doesn´t start the BIOS-Setup. Instead Windows is starting.
    My questions are...
    - Is there any problem with my T540p?
    - How can I start the ThinkPad BIOS-Setup?
    - If it is not possible to use the ThinkPad BIOS-Setup: What are the alternatives to configure BIOS?
    Thanks a lot!

  • After installing Elements 11 the Quick Start tab is missing?

    i installed and paid for elements 11 but now i cannot access the program. the quick start tab is missing. I cant start the program but i still have the files?

    mrspecialk
    I think that the answer will end up being a complete uninstall reinstall of Premiere Elements 11 to default computer location if you have installation files or installation disc. But, please read the following first.
    Thanks for the additional information. The following is going to be based on the information supplied, that is,
    Premiere Elements 11 is definitely installed on your computer as evidenced by its presence in Control Panel/Installed Programs List
    Windows 7 32 bit computer
    You say that you cannot find a desktop icon for Premiere Elements 11 after installation.
    I will ask again just so that I do not take anything for granted...if you click on Start, All Programs, do you see "Adobe Premiere Elements 11" listed anywhere?
    You say that you cannot find the following two files on your computer. It appears that you are using the search function of the computer to look for
    Adobe Premiere Elements 11.exe
    and
    Adobe Premiere Elements.exe
    Instead of the Search for find those files, can you take the longer route and follow the path to them folder to folder. I have Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit, not 32 bit, but I believe this will be the path to follow folder by folder clicking
    Computer
    Local Disk (C:)
    Program Files Folder
    Adobe Folder
    Premiere Elements 11 Folder
    and, inside the Premiere Elements 11 Folder should be the two .exe files that you seek. Scroll down line list of folders and files there to find it.
    Do you find the two .exe files there?
    If not, then I would suggest that you go to the Control Panel and uninstall Premiere Elements 11.
    Then reinstall Premiere Elements 11, making sure that you let it install to the default location of the program.
    Then look for the desktop icon and those two .exe files again to confirm that the program has installed correctly.
    Please let us know the results.
    Thank you.

  • Unable to Enable Intel VT-x Via BIOS Setup: (Option no-longer Available?)

    I have been using VMWare Workstation (V9.0.4) with my present motherboard for about 1 year.  For no apparent reason, I can no-longer do so, because "Intel VT-x" is not enabled.  When I enter the BIOS setup, the option that used to be there to enable "Intel VT-x" is no-longer present.  I am wondering if the latest BOIS Version (H.90) is the culprit?    If it is, is there a way to "roll back" to the previous BIOS version?
    Motherboard BIOS Version: H.90 (Motherboard:  X79A-GD45 Plus).  Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

    @Svet:  I checked and have (embarrassingly) found the problem.  I was unable to scroll down in the BIOS settings menu for Overclocking, and therefore could not "see" the option I was looking for.  I adjusted the sensitivity of my mouse(?) and all of a sudden all is well.  I found the option concerned and enabled it (how it had become disabled after nearly 1 year, I do not know) and all is now as it has been for a year.  Weird!
    Many thanks for your willingness to assist, and sorry for wasting your time.  Cheers.

  • BIOS setup menu is missing in my G580 after installing fedora....

    Dear sir,
    I bought a Lenovo G580 [59337032] laptop about a month ago.
    It had no OS installed. I installed Fedora 17 in it.
    But after installing Fedora, I can't be able to access the BIOS setup menu by pressing F2.
    And also my boot order rearranged.
    While pressing F12 during boot, the boot devices list appears.
    But the first entry is Fedora, 2nd is Ethernet, 3rd is HDD, 4th is DVD drive.
    I found a similar problem in this forum. But the solution [disconnect the HDD and press F2 during boot]
    of that problem did not work in my case.
    I also deleted the recovery partion of lenovo.
    My BIOS version is 62CN34WW
    How can I fix my BIOS? 
    Now my OS is Windows7.

    Dear Sirs!
    Have the absolutely same problem with one difference - installed OS was Ubuntu 9.04.
    According to recomendation HDD mode was setted as "сompatible" (IDE). After rearranging
    disk to 3 parts: /, /swap and /user/home and setting up system I have find that BIOS setup
    are unaccessible and system won't boot up (Non system disk error).
    From LiveCD and USB, both Ubuntu and Windows XP SP3 system boots and work fine,
    HDD read/write accesible.
    Local serviceman told, that they have no possibility to reprogram BIOS flash by themselves
    and it will take 2-3 month to obtain new motherboard or whole laptop for exchange. This is
    absolutely unacceptable for me, because my job depends on the health of the laptop.
    Laptop Lenovo G580, BIOS version 62CN34WW
    Thanks in advance for cooperation!

  • Bios Setup using WMI (WMI is missing)

    Hi, I am trying to make changes to the bios using the information found here:
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?Legacy​DocID=MIGR-68488
    However, on a refurb L430 that we just bought through the "http://outlet.lenovo.com/" site, the WMI class does not exist.  I am making the call from C#.  I also tried running the supplied sample scripts and they do not work either.  So then I checked   Computer -> Manage -> Services and Applications -> WMI Control -> Properties -> Security and browsed to Root/WMI and the class "Lenovo_BIOSElement" does not exist there.  The only class shown is "ms_409"
    Is there an installer for the Lenovo WMI class?  Is this supposed to be present on all of the supported devices listed in the "Lenovo BIOS Setup using Windows Management Instrumentation Deployment Guide"?  Are the WMI calls no longer supported?  
    Thanks
    -Mike
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I think I got it working somehow...
    I modified the C# method to use the class "Lenovo_BIOSSetting" instead of "Lenovo_BiosElement".
    When running my executable, I first got access denied.  I reran it as administrator and was able to view all of the 80 management instances.  I then reran the script "ListAll.vbs" and now it is populating properly.

  • [msi k8n neo4-f] missing options in bios

    1. is there any posibility to turn off fdd seek and to turn on num lock? there is no that options in bios.
    2. does this mainboard have built-in firewall?
    thanks

    no no, i've just wanted to disable fdd seeking during fdc controller initialization. now i know that it is impossible with official bios version (with numlock the same)
    now the question where can i find hacked/modded bioses for this mainboard? (http://www.lejabeach.com/MSIK8N/k8nneo4ultra/k8nneo4.html ---> does these bioses fits to neo4-f? i think for all k8n neo4 (nforce 4 and nforce 4 ultra) bioses are the same)
    and one more question: i've read on some other forum that on this mainboard with bios v1.3 and higher (official) it is impossible to set FSB higher than ~229MHz (blank screen even i've set memory to 100MHz, HT x1 and higher CPU voltage) and the sollution is to flash with bios v1.2 (official) or modded/hacked version. is it true?

  • Satellite X200 - How to find BIOS setup for Intel Storage Matrix?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm willing to enable the Matrix Storage feature on my Satellite X200-24X. The problem is I can't find any relevant option in the BIOS setup...
    Thanks !

    Hi
    The Intel Storage Manager is a driver and not an option in BIOS. The only option that you have in BIOS is the HDD access mode. There you can change between AHCI and Compatible.
    For AHCI mode that is faster you need Intel Storage Manager driver. For Compatible mode you dont need additional drivers.
    You want to know how to install Storage Manager? Just use the forum search, you will find hundreds of results. ;)

  • Sooo... How do I get into the bios setup?

    Now before you get out the pitchforks and torches, I know I'm supposed to continually press or hold a certain Function key when I first power on a computer.
    My cousin left me his old Pavilion a410e.  I figured I'd set it up for when family or friends needed to use a computer.  Well... when I got everything together and started it up, I got an error.  "CPU Fan Failure".  (Now you see why my cousin gave the computer to me.)  I popped open the case and saw the fan spin up fine when powering the computer.  The fan's power connecter and the heatsink/fan are all properly in place.  I tried to google for a solution, and came across suggestions to turn off the fan check through bios.  The computer came into my hands with the 3.06 bios, and while in that bios menu, the cpu fan options were greyed out (unchangeable).  I thought maybe a bios update would change that, so I went ahead and downloaded/installed the 3.10 bios update from HP.  It installed fine (I guess), but now I can't get into the bios menu, no matter which key I press.  Windows boots up fine, so long as I bypass the CPU fan failure warning by pressing F2.  I'd really like to kill that warning.  How do I get into the bios menu now, guys?

    Where can i download the bios setup disk for my neo-2 FISR motherboard. I lsot it before i finished building my comp and now it boots up in japanese with some error and says missing NTLDR or something. i need to set my bios up thanks.

    Go Here and follow the instructions exactly. It describes how to make a bootable floppy and add the Bios image.
    Before you do that though, Are you not able to hit delete on boot-up and enter the Bios. If it's set to Japanese, enter the first menu on the left and the first menu AFTER the date/time gives language options. This is on a 875P board but if it's the AMI Bios it should be similar.
