New ideapad ultrabook OS not installed on SSD

Hi,
My new ideapad ultrabook u 410 touch with windows 8 was delivered to me last week. It came with a broken screen and OS was installed on HDD instead of SSD. I had it replace and now the screen is fixed but OS is still installed on HDD.
Isn't it supposed to be on SSD to allow faster boot time ? How can I change that, or do I need to contact lenovo and send it back to them ?
Would appreciate instructions on how to create a backup and windows installer and then format the system to install OS on SDD. 
thanks,
Yog

hi yog1389,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
As per your systems Reference Your SSD is for the Intel Smart Response
Using a small SSD with Windows on it plus updates plus applications, you will be forced to use the HDD for you other larger files and that will render the SSD useless because you'd still be accessing files from the HDD which will be slow. Intel Smart Response will merge the HDD and SSD allowing you use the storage space of the HDD and the speed of the SSD.
It is normal that your Windows is installed on HDD and that the SSD is Set for Cahing.
Check this Post for a more detailed explanation why your system is set up that way.
Hope this helps,

    Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on an older laptop.  This is a one time user program, is there a code that can be put in or a small fee to pay to be able to use the program again.  Never installed the video editing and hoping this can be installed with no problem.

    If the laptop is still connected Launch Elements in Expert Mode. Go to the help menu and sign-out. That will deactivate usage on the laptop.

  • When I was updating I Phone version 4  from iTunes. it got stuck in middle of updating, after uninstall the version 3 and new version 4 was not installed. Now iTunes is not detecting the iphone and my iphone is also not working n showing connection cable

    When i was updating i phone version 4 from Itunes. It got stuck in middle of updating, after uninstall the version3. But new version was not installed. Now itunes is not detecting the iphone and iphone is also not working and showing connection cable with itunes. Pls help..

    Check your system for possible Malware. But you have to do it in WIndows Safe Mode.
    (Do not use your own Anti-virus to SCAN)
    Start your computer in "Safe mode with networking", go to this link download a free version of Malwarebyte.
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
    Install and perform update immediately, then do a full SCAN. Remove malware if it indeed finds any. Restart computer to regular windows to let Malwarebyte complete the removal.
    To start your computer in safe mode
    Press and hold the F8 key as your computer starts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
    On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the "safe mode with networking" option, and then press Enter. Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
    When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your screen. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.

  • New Vista Drivers will not install/w

    Ok, so i uninstalled my old creative beta drivers through the vista program uninstall, along with uninstalling the device within device manager. Then, I rebooted the computer and ran the new driver exe. once it went into the install program after unpack it said:
    "you have previously installed drivers without rebooting, please reboot and try again"
    so i reboot again (even though i have yet to install anything.....same problem...
    I tried deleting my windows temp folder and still no luck.
    Then, i tried copying the unpacked folder "CF000" or whatever its called and directly tell device manager to grab the drivers from there.
    Now it lists the x-fi in device manager but with this error after restart:
    "This device cannot start. (Code 0)
    Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available."
    PLEASE help. Now i have no sound and i can not install the old beta drivers because they now give me the same crap "you have tried installing without reboot bla bla bla"

    Ok, so I finally got it to work. I am not sure what i did differently to be honest. I did the same thing that I did 0 times before: erased windows temp folder, erased any folder labeled creative after running a search, uninstalled the device via device manager... and suddenly the install ran to completion. Does my audio work now? yes. Was it probably the biggest pain I have ever had to install drivers? yes, by far. I am not trying to slam creative because hey, at least I have working drivers.... but oh man was it a pain in the ###. I can see why people go for on board audio now...

  • New version "Corrupted" or "not installed correctly."

    I just tried to open iTunes for the first time since I did a software update about two weeks ago.
    I get a message that reads: "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I don't want to lose the songs I had in my library. What's the correct way to do this?

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

    Can anybody help with itunes 11 not installing on Win 8 PC (X64). Have disabled firewall and anti virus, still will not install. Now coming up as Error while installing, and goes no further

    That's too bad.
    When you are ready for some help, please post the exact wording of the error that is occurring.
    Or better yet, help yourself by searching these forums and google for the exact wording of the error.

  • The new itunes update will not install properly and now itunes wont work at all

    k, so I tried installing the new update for itunes and now it wont work at all. it says that the mobile device isnt installed. i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 4 times now.

    My issue is it wont even reinstall onto my computer
    Yes I'm aware of that. The procedures are also for trying in cases where iTunes can't be reinstalled due to a "Could not start Apple Mobile Device service" message.
    If you're getting a different error message relating to the Apple Mobile Device Service (or Apple Mobile Device Support) when you try to reinstall iTunes, post back to let us know what that error message says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Carbon X1 2014 - New Touchpad firmware will not install

    Hi,
    Becuase of the very fiddegy Touchpad on my new Carbon X1 2014 (20A8) I was looking forward to installing the new firmware update realeased 19 Aug 2014, becuase it should address some of the annoying issues I have with the touchpad.
    According to the readme file, my computer is supported, but when I run the SynReflash.exe to upgrade, I consistently get this message back: "Reflash cannot find firmware updates for the devices on this system".
    What's wrong here?? Can you help?
    PS. Running Windows 8.1 Update 1 (x64). The UltraNav driver (18.0.7.40) is installed and working, even though I have to disable all gesture support to get a somwhat predictable mouse action when using the touchpad.
    Some help would be great.
    Thanks.

    I would like to have a response in this forum from Lenovo. We are more people with touchpad problems and issues with installing the latest firmware update for the Synaptics 'pad'.
    I checked the version of the touchpad and it's: TM-2937, FW 1581359.
    Is the firmware update not designed to work with this touchpad in my Carbon X1? If not, then why is my X1 (20A8) listed as a supported device in the firmware text file???
    Some help or clarification please.....
    Thank you.

  • Why is the new version of Gmail not installed with Lollipop?

    I was under the impression that the new version of Gmail (Gmail 5) would be installed with the Lollipop update. Since the new version supports Exchange, I was anxously waiting for it. Since it did not load, is there some way to get it?
    I have the LG G3.
    Nathan

    We certainly don't want you to feel disappointed with your phone and email. Upon the information I've seen you would want to try and download Gmail 5 from the play store. If it's available you will see it there. Please let us know your findings.

  • New Ilife '09 will not Install on New 24" Imac but installed fine on IBookG

    Can someone explain what is going on with this new Ilife '09 DVD? I recieved it today and found that after 2 attempts to upgrade on my brand new IMAC there was nothing ugraded. However, when I inserted the disk in my IBookG4 the software was downloaded and installed perfectly.
    Curious note, when I actually looked at the "customized" install on the new IMac, it shows there is NO data( meaning 0MB) where when I put it into the IBook G4 it had MB after each application.
    Is there something I don't know that is blocking this upgrade on my new IMAC? Is the DVD unable to read in my new IMac. HELP!!!

    By super search with the spotlight, I discovered that the ILife '09 installed on the HD and the ILife'08 appswere sitting in my User name "house". I clicked on the each of the new Apps on the HD and each one of the '09 updates occurred. Needless to say I am up and running. Thank you for responding. Issue resolved.
