Novo menu and the bios

I have an Ideapad with the novo button on the side.  Need a little info on how this button works.
My problem is after deleting and formatting the drives on my U310 Im stuck because I cant boot from an external device any more the novo menu comes up but nothing happens.
So was there maybe something on the drive that I deleted.  I would think that the novo menu software would be part of the bios and not affected by anthing I did to my hard drive's  is this correct.  
I also red a post on here that flashing with 65cn99ww.zip fixed the problem but the poster didnt say where he got the file and what he flashed
Thanks

I've included a link below to your model's User Guide that will give a brief explanation on using the Novo button for restoring the computer or entering the BIOS Setup.
https://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas/content/user_​guides/u310_u410_ug_en.pdf
If you deleted partitions on the hard drive that would explain why the Novo button no longer works for doing a One Key Recovery, but you should still be able to access the BIOS Setup.  In the event the Novo button doesn't work, here is an excerpt from the BIOS Update file's readme on access the BIOS Setup on your model via the F2 key.  I posted the same information in the other message thread you responded to.
Installing the package in Windows.
======================
1.  Restart computer. Press Fn+F2 enter BIOS.
2.  Choose "configurations-> BIOS back flash" , set to Enabled.
3.  Choose "Boot-> Boot Mode", set to UEFI. save and exit.
4.  Locate the file 65cn99ww that has been downloaded.
5.  Double click the 65cn99ww For Windows 8, you may run it as administrator by right-clicking on the icon and selecting ¡°Run as administrator±.
6.  Click YES.
7.  System will reboot and flash BIOS. During the process, you are advised not to turn off the computer.
8.  When the update finishes, the computer will automatically reboot for the changes to take effect.
9.  Press Fn+F2 to enter BIOS menu, load default setting-> save and exit.
10. Please reboot the system again.

  • HT201250 (1) Where is the "Time Machine menu" and the choice to "Enter Time Machine" (mentioned in the "Restoring data from Time Machine backups" section)?

    1) Where do I find the "Time Machine menu" and the choice to "Enter Time Machine" (as mentioned in the "Restoring data from Time Machine backups" section in the Mac Support article "Mac Basics: Time Machine")?
    2) How would I restore e.g. a particular photo from a backup I made with Time Machine? I can see how this is done with Word documents, but can't see how to do it with photos?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    1. The Time Machine icon is on the menu bar.
    2. If you want to do that with individual photos, it's the same way as for documents. If you want to do it with iPhoto, you have to restore the whole iPhoto library, not only one photo

  • I have a running set of data in my Notes. I just added to 1 of my notes. When finished by mistake I clicked   and not Done. So I clicked Done on the blank page. This brought me to Notes menu and the 1 I was working in is gone. I never hit delete.

    I Have a running set of topics in my Notes. I just added to Note topic on iPhone 5. When I finished I mistakenly clicked + instead of Done. When I saw the blank page that appeared after the + click, I clicked Done. That brought me back to the menu of my notes - and the note topic I was working on was not there. Disappeared. At NO time did I click Delete. I have looked thru all my other note categories to see if some how the disappeared note was added to an existing note but it is not. After 3 or 4 minutes of looking around my iPhone notes, I checked my iPad Notes and the topic was missing from there also.
    Any ideas where this Note topic went or how to recover? Or am I SOL???
    THank you

    After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
    The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList.  Changing it to List resolved the problem.
    I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid.  And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger.  Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

  • "organize bookmarks" is no longer in my bookmarks menu and the drop down bar for my bookmarks toolbar has disappeared

    I can not longer delete bookmarks from the bookmark file since "organize bookmarks" is no longer an option in Firefox 4. Also the bookmarks that didn't fit in my bookmark tool bar used to be accessible to the far right of the toolbar in a drop down menu. Now I have "bookmarks" in my bookmark menu taking up space instead of a drop down arrow with just my selected bookmarks that didn't fit in the toolbar.

    "Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.
    The Bookmarks button is for accessing the bookmarks that are not in the bookmarks toolbar. You can hide this button, if you do that, to access other bookmarks you can click the orange Firefox button then select Bookmarks.
    To remove the bookmarks button, right-click on the Navigation toolbar and select Customize. This will open the customize toolbar window. Drag and drop the bookmarks button which will now be on the right hand edge of the navigation toolbar and drop it onto the customize toolbar window. Click Done to complete the process.

  • Can I link folders in the Bookmarks Menu and the Bookmarks Toolbar so that an addition or deletion from one will show up in the other?

    It seems as if these two lists - the Toolbar list and the Menu list - operate independently. Is that correct? I'm using Windows 7.

    Immediately backup your whole Firefox profile.
    * [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    You will have over written your bookmarks database and it may be difficult to recover. You may at least have backups of bookmarks that are still usable but that is why you must back up the profile.
    Create a new additional test profile using the profile manager. Next test the bookmarks from your backup restoring them into Firefox whilst open with and using the new test profile. If one of those backups works you should be able to restore that into your ordinary Firefox profile.
    You may need to delete the database places.sqlite to get working bookmarks. But rename it rather than delete it as it is then easier to reverse. Note if you do need to delete the places database you will lose your Firefox History.
    There is an alternative strategy but again ensue the profile is backedup. And in this case also backup separately places.sqlite before any recovery attempt.
    The Windows OS should try to keep previous copies of Files and it is possible that you will have a usable previous copy of ''places.sqlite'' that may be recovered by options available from right clicking the current version.

  • New NF980-G65 with an AMD X6 1090T and the BIOS Update Utility Crashes?

    Last week I received my new NF980-G65 board and with it an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (Thuban 3.2GHz Socket AM3).  After installing the board and starting it up for the first time I noticed that it reports BIOS version 1.1 and CPU unknown.  Next I downloaded the BIOS update to version 1.3 from msi, made a boot USB stick and powered up again.  System will not boot from USB.  I tried now over 20 different sticks from 256MB to 64GB and none of them worked!
    Went back to my old system and ripped its floppy drive out to install it in the new computer.  Had to go to RadioShack since I have not touched a floppy in over 10 years, but they had some on clearance.  Made me a boot disk, put the new BIOS and install utility on it, booted the system with the floppy, started the BIOS update utility and watched it crash.  When I start it by itself it gives me three screens of options and commands, but as soon as I try to use one of the commands or update the BIOS it keeps crashing.
    What do I have to do to get the BIOS on the NF980-G65 updated so it will run with my AMD X6 1090T processor?
    Thank you in advance for ANY help...

    I am sorry, but I need to work with this thing since I make a living writing code, I do not play with it!  This thing and the support I am getting for it are not worth my time or money!
    What thing are you talking about?  You are experiencing the a certain symptom for which you do not know the cause.  For some strange reason and without any in-depth tests you seem to assume that the board must be the problem (ignoring all other components (for example your factory overclocked memory modules).

    What support have you tried to get that actually has to do anything with money?  Please note that this is not MSI Technical Support but a User-to-User forum, run by users (just like you) that do not get paid for donating their private time to try to help others.  Whatever your level of frustration is in regards to the money spent for your components, please do not use it to insult anyone here in this forum.

  • Menu  and the icon representation  will be disastrous small when highly scalable screens.

    A Photoshop nuisance for years: The Photoshop menu bar at the top of the screen and the icon representation of the tool bar on the left of the screen will be disastrous small when highly scalable screens. The size is fixed as set in concrete, no matter what settings in the operating system (Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit) is selected in the menu of Photoshop or. At the present time, this is an imposition. On the net, we learn that this can be changed only by a corresponding script. Does anyone know of such a script here in the Forum? I would (and surely many others) extremely grateful. Blindflug

    Hello,
    first of all, coungrats' for the aquisition
    second, i shall try to response to some of your "dislike" afirmations.
    one:
    about the translation, it's a classic old translation - the format "efectue" exists since the first phone was translate in french to be sold on the french market. It was standard imputed, and improved with years. I don't want to say that it's perfect the way it is (you should see the romanian version ) ), because neither one (except english) isn't, but it's fine..
    two:
    Google maps... on a product that uses his own maps, and a prepayd navigation sistem... i don't think they will ever do that... especially when the product owns a gps reciver..
    three:
    you can copy the files in any kind of location, either the phone memory or micro sd card.
    four:
    as for the radio, i saw someone posted on this information that the handsfree replaces the antenna, wich is true. if you want, you can switch the radio to the speaker, it's in the radio menu.

  • IDE HD and the BIOS -- K7N420-PRO

    Hi,
    My computer was running great for a long time, and then one of the hard drives stoped working.  Well, when I say stoped working I mean that I can not 'see' it in windows.  Further investigagion  lead me to the BIOS where is is autodetected as a hard drive MUCH smaller than it is, thus not allowing it to be seen by the OS.
    I have found the Sectors/PreComp/LandingZone information, and have not been able to figure out how to input it into the system in the BIOS.  Not sure if there is a problem with my BIOS, or that is now a 'feature' of modern motherboards.
    Any other ideas GREATLY appreciated.

  • My wi-fi worked fine on Airport Express two days ago.  Now the light is green, but I can't get the Internet on my satellite connection.  I've checked Network Preferences, Aiport Express menu, and the satellite tech support. The Ethernet connection works.

    My wi-fi connection from my iPad via the Airport Express Base Station on my home computer worked just fine until yesterday morning.  I have a Macintosh G5 with a satellite connection.  I could not get an Internet connection.  After using the Network Preferences and Aiport Express applications several times, then unplugging and replugging in the computer, satellite modem and Airport Express module, checking the satellite dish for any obstructions, and so on, the computer still wouldn't connect to the Internet.  (The green light was on in the Airport Express module.)  I called the satellite company technical support division last night.  The tech couldn't find any problem with the satellite connection.  When I plugged the satellite modem cord directly into the Ethernet outlet on my computer, I could pick up the Internet.
    Today, the Airport Express module still has a green light but still doesn't connect to the Internet.  The only thing I can think of is that lights went out for about 15 minutes yesterday morning.  All of my electronics, except the Aiport Express Base Station, are on surge protectors.  Why would the Airport Express module still have a green light if it was damaged by the electrical outage? 
    I bought the module in 2009.  I have never had problems with Apple equipment before this. Is this base station fixable?
    I would appreciate your suggestions.

    Hello everyone.  I too have experienced the same problem Mary described starting on the same day she mentioned January 12.  I have a G5 iMac, a G5 mini-mac, and a G4 laptop.  They were all working fine but all have mostly the same problem now in that the G4 does not connect at all and the G5s connect once in a while after restarts but do not maintain the connection.  In my case there was no power interruption.  In fact, the G4 laptop was not even connected to the home power connection.  My iPad2 and iPhone 4s wireless work fine and a wireless PC and Android tablet work fine as well.  The G5 and G4 work fine on an ethernet connection. ISP tech support (AT&T u-Verse) was very generous with their time in trying to solve my problem although it was established early on that their connection and equipment was working fine and that the problem was with my computers.  They walked me through a manual reset of all the particulars on IP addresses etc. so the problem was not related to that either. In the end ISP tech support concluded that the problem must lie with the Airport driver.  For some reason it changes the IP addresses to an incorrect address so it cannot connect.  Indeed when I tried the diagnostics on the G4 I got a window Pop-up that said an application had reset my settings. (In retrospect I seem to recall that I may have gotten that same message early on with the G5s but at that time I did not think much about it and went about trying to reset the settings but that process never concluded well) I think that the problem may be that there must have been an update of the Airport software that was not backward compatible with the G5 and older Macs.  I mention all this for two reasons.  First, perhaps someone out there who knows better than I do how to bring this to Apple's attention and perhaps they will address this.  Second, I would be curious to know whether there is anyway one can return a configuration on Macs to some earlier time period (as you can on PCs) when everything worked and then leave it that way foregoing any subseqent upgrades or any subsequent apps?

  • Menu and the mouse

    When I preview my DVD project, in iDVD, I can click the mouse over any part of the title of the movie and the movie plays. Once you burn the DVD and use DVD Player (in the computer) for playback, the mouse will only work just to the left of the title. Is this a bug? I give demo DVDs to people and I'm not sure everyone (who played it in their computer) would figure out where to click.

  • All the text in the Firefox dropdown menu and the toolbar menu has disappeared. How do I get it back?

    When I try and open the Firefox drop down menu there is no text to explain the different options. The same thing happens when I try and right click, there is no text only blank spaces. If someone can help I would really appreciate it. I have used Firefox for a long time and I would hate to have to stop using it. I can post screenshots if needed.
