Reintall windows 8

Hi there,
Here it goes my first post.
Today I have upgraded my windows 8.1.
Now, it is asking for a windows key.
There is no OEM sticker on the laptop, neither recovery DVD or recovery particion.
If I want to reintall windows 8 on factory setting, what should I do?
Can I get a recovery DVD from LENOVO con windows key on it?
The laptop is only 9 months old.

first and last time i buy lenovo pos laptop, support is nonexistent. Useless forum

  • What procedure is requred after I reinstall windows 7 (LR on another drive)?

    One of my SSD collapsed so I have to reintall windows. Fortunately my LR and PS are installed on seperated SSD. After I started LR, it asked me to re-enter my SERIAL NUMBER and where to store my catalogue. My old one is still on the drive so what should I do?

    RE catalog: In Lr go >File >Open catalog, navigate to your old catalog and select it.
    RE serial number:I would just type it in.

  • Can i recover my all active directory domain computers and users from IFM and in-cooperate them in new forest ??

    My only Active Directory Server on win server 2008 R2 with one domain controller crashed today. The only backup that i had was IFM media.
    So what i have done till now to recover it is a follow
    I reintalled window server but this time it is winserver 2012. I added AD DS role to it. Promoted it to Domain Controller. (functionality level is 2008 R2)
    On second server i installed win 2008 R2 and trying to add additional domain controller from IFM to recover all of my domain users,computers and GPO's. but i am getting this error
    Could not replicate the directory partition CN=schema, CN= configuration, DC=XXX, DC=com from the remote domain
    the naming context specified for this replication operation is invalid
    i dont know weather my approach is correct or not
    but my simple questions is
    Can i recover my all domain computers and users from IFM and in-cooperate them in new forest ?? if yes how can i do that?? urgent help required.

    yup exactly i created a new domain(in new forest) with same previous name in window server 2012 on SERVER-1. As ifm file that i had was generated from 2008 r2 so on second server i installed window 2008 r2 and tried to add role of additional domain controller
    from ifm file on SERVER-2 using dcpromo /adv . every step went ok but in last step when it starts replicating domain controllers it poup following error
    Could not replicate the directory partition CN=schema, CN= configuration, DC=XYZ, DC=com. .  .
    and roll backs every thing.

  • Very Confused over Reinstall Discs, Recovery Discs and how do I CREATE THEM!

    I am the owner of a Lenova IdeaCenter K300 Computer with Windows 7 64Bit OS
    The system has been running for just about a year now...no issues, very stable...however after a recent issue with another computer MFG system...I have questions:
    First the Other MFG system - The computer was purchased in April of 2008 with Windows Vista, the computer was unplugged on November 1, 2008 and stored in a cool Dry place....In October of 2011 My Godson wanted a new computer and I told him I have a computer that was lightly used and would do what he wanted it to do.
    I plugged in a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and turned on the unit when MUCH to my surprise the HD had failed...BADLY...so I went to a local store, purchased a new HD and installed it on the machine. 
    First let me explain that this computer MFG after several calls to them looking for help.. explained to me the following
    1: Reinstall Discs were NOT avail
    2: The System did not support creating Recovery discs since all the information that the system needed was stored on
        the Hard Drive that was supplied with the system...and that the OEM Windows VISTA version was available to use for
        3 years
    I said Okay, but I have a computer that had a HD failure so how do I go about reinstalling Windows Vista to get the computer up and running again?  They told me that I had to PURCHASE from a store a copy of Windows Vista.   I said that I had from two other computers from another MFG Windows Vista Reinstall Discs, can I use those, and use the Product Key code supplied by YOUR company to reintsall the OS?  They said NO...you need the orginal Hard Drive....I was like WHAT!
    Needless to say you can imagine my EXTREME frustration over not being able to get the computer up and running again.  After several calls to the Presidents Office I was finally....after 6 weeks of battle able for a cost mind you of $19.99 to get physical DVD's to reintall Windows Vista onto the system - (they should arrive this week)
    So now I am sitting in front of this LENOVA computer wondering ...Worse CaseScenerio...HD FAILURE...and lets face it it DOES HAPPEN.
    so here are my questions
    1: What is the difference between Recovery Disc and Reinstall Dics?
    2: If this Lenova System can only Create Recovery Discs ...and the HD needs to be replaced will the Recovery discs reintsall Windows 7 on this system?
    3: How do I create these discs...I found an option on Lenova Rescue System to create Recovery Discs but it was 24  4.5 GB DVD's to do this?  Windows Vista only needed 2
    Am I missing something here can some one Please help me
    thank you!

    They should sell you recovery disc without any problems. If you call customer service and you feel that the conversation is going no ware you probably talking to wrong person. Disconnect and tray another time, you will never speak to the same person twice
    OEM reinstall disc doesn’t need activation, retail windows disc needs but you have serial number on the sticker so just call Microsoft and activate it.
    Recovery disc is a copy of your computer hard drive with windows, drivers, software included
    Reinstall disc is the same for all computers with windows only, you have to install drivers and software separately
    Reinstall OEM disc is only for Lenovo system but it is the same like retail windows disc with added pre-activation

  • Pixel bender wont open on win 7

    i have been tryign to install pixel bender toolkit 2.5 so i can pplay with the droste filter that was not added to creative cloud a bit disapointed its nto in the new creative suite thta i pay for but that sneither here nor there the pixelbender program shoudl run as a standalone program from what i have found. now problem i have is that when i open pixel bender it closes right away nothng happens liek error messages it is liek soemone clicked close as soona s it opened. please help me as i havebeen pulling out my hair tryign to fix i even reintalled windows and problem is still here. the program will work if i downlaod the old 1.5 version but i dodnt see why the new version wotn open. pleas ehelp

    I've got the exact same problem:
    Trying to open the Pixel Bender Toolkit, it immediately closes after initiation. No message whatsoever.
    I hadn't used the plug-in for a while, I have changed my graphic card to an unsupported NVidia card. But the Pixel Bender filters do open in Photoshop CS5(12.0 64-bit), although new filter don't seem to show up (but that might be a different issue)

  • Unable to re-join domain

    Hi,
    I have installed Windows Server 2012 r2 Essentials and successfully connected 5 computers Windows 8.1 Pro to my domain (Test). After that, i removed one of the computer (Test5) from the domain using Essentials Dashboard under Devices --> Remove computer.
    At the same time, i also disconnected from the client computer (Test5) using the system properties by clicking "Network ID" and following the wizard. 
    After disconnecting from the domain, i wanted to rejoin the same computer (Test5) to the same domain (Test), but i came across many problems. 
    I normally join the computers to the domain by going to url xxx/connect to download and install. After that the installer asks me for the username and password. By now, the wizard will display " Cannot connect this computer to the network. The server
    is not available. Try connecting this computer again, or for more information, see Troubleshoot connecting computers to the server"
    After that, the full name of computer changed to Test5.Test.local but it is still part of the Workgroup. 
    I tried to reintall Windows 8.1 Pro and changed the name to Test6, tried the connector again but the wizard would display the same problem again. 
    I tried to reset the computer in the AD under Server Tools, but the computer is not there anymore, tried to change the domain to Workgroup again in Test6, still useless. 
    And i dont think there is any problem with DNS. I can ping the server with no problem from Test5/Test6, and the network settings seem correct. The DNS Server is setup to one for the server (192.168.11.190), another one to the main router (192.168.11.1). 
    Can someone offer advice on how to troubleshoot this issue? Greatly appreciate your help. If possible, please explain in layman terms, i'm do not have any experience in server management. this is my first server. 
    thanks!

    Yes, i uninstalled the connector from the installed windows update, restarted the client computer (Test6). Tried the manually joining the PC to the domain through both the wizard in the system properties by clicking "Network ID" or "Change".
    After putting all the credentials and domain information, both methods result in the same error
    "Your computer could not be joined to the domain because the following error has occurred: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted"
    Well, i can ping the server without any problems from the problematic computer (Test6). So what is the problem? I think it is the server side that is causing the problems, maybe i need to reset something or delete something. After all, i reinstalled windows
    8.1 Pro on Test6, but still cannot re-join the domain!
    Please help!

  • How to make firefox scroll SMOOTH like safari

    Hi,
    Using the touchpad on my MBP, is there anyway to make firefox 2 scroll like Safari. I"ve installed ScrollWheel and configured it as best I could to use with my trackpad but it can't do near as good a job as Safari. Can anyone suggest anything?
    B

    as i predicted, the problem is only at your end, but your computer seems fair enough for browsing, mine could be considered the same, it really old - 2005, but with brand new motherboard:
    CPU: AMD Phenom 2 cores @ 3.1ghz
    GPU: ATI Radeon 3300 HD 512mb
    HDD: 80GB ... thats how old it is...
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
    my CD rom cant even read DVDs... so if i have to reinstall Windows 7 i have to buy a new DVD rom first :D
    now i suggest you, if you insist on having the newest version of Firefox, consider trying some of these:
    here are the Nightly (v7.0) build of Firefox, both x32 and x64, try installing the one that corresponds your system build type and see if you are having trouble with speeds
    if that doesnt work and you still want to use the latest Firefox (5.0), then reintalling Windows 7 would be a good start, but on the other hand its not worth doing it just for just a browser, but the choise is yours
    these are the steps i'd take
    wish you best of luck and im afraid i cant help you anymore

  • Last updated Illustrator CC 2014 works very slowly

    Hello everyone!
    Today I reintall Windows 8.1 (64bit) on my PC with all possible updates. After this I installed Illustrator CC 2014. It began to work ve-e-e-ery slowly, to hang up. Often not responce to any command. Task manager shows that proccesor works for 13-15% and uses just one core (is it normal?).
    Illustrator CC, which I use before reinstall Windows 8.1, worked well.
    Configuration PC:
    AMD FX-8320 (3.5@4 GHz, 8 cores)
    32 GB RAM DDR3 1333
    SSD OCZ Agility 4, 240 GB
    Videocard AMD R9 270X 2GB
    MB Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 (BIOS FFe 07/10/2012)
    Tablet Wacom Bamboo Fun Medium (CTE-650) with mostly new drivers
    Please, help And forgive me for my English.

    When you uninstall Illustrator, the preference files might have been retained, and also any third-party plug-ins that are installed will likely remain on your system, either of those could possibly be the cause of the problem you are experiencing.
    Preferences might have corrupted somehow. You can reset these by doing the following:
    Launch Illustrator and then press Alt+Control+Shift (Win) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac) as you start Illustrator.
    If you have installed any third-party plug-ins, I'd start by removing those first of all. Something as simple as an outdated font-activation add-in could cause start-up crashes. IOW: check first to see if your plug-ins are all compatible with the version of Illustrator you are using.
    When Illustrator isn't launched. Go to the Applications/ProgramFiles folder on your computer, and locate the Illustrator program folder, inside it is a Plug-ins folder. You can check if third-party plug-ins are the cause of the crash by temporarily dragging them out of that folder, and relaunching Illustrator after that.
    Hopefully Illustrator will launch past the Welcome Screen after doing that.
    Let us know how you go. If you are still experiencing problems, see if you can provide us with some extra information such as whether you are on Windows or Macintosh, what system version you are running, etc. Mylenium has included a useful link for this as well.

  • Can't download software update

    I can't download updates for the iPad (4.3.5).  Have latest version of iTunes (10.5).  Have disabled both firewall and anti-virus (so please don't give that canned response).  Sometimes it downloads for 30 or 40 seconds, then counts up to like 40 minutes remaining, and then throws an error.  Sometimes it counts up and throws the error right away.  The error is "There was a problem downloading the software...  The network connection timed out."  Had the same problem with the latest iPhone update.  Took over 30 attempts to get it downloaded.
    This problem cropped up when I reintalled Windows 7 64-bit on my machine, then installed iTunes (supposedely) 64-bit installation.  No Internet problems.  Can browse, download, stream music and video just fine.  The only other problem I have had is that it took 3 or 4 tries to download iTunes 4.5 from Apple's website.  Is this an Apple problem?  Is my ISP to blame?  Is there a way to manually download the update?  Any help would be appreciated.

  • PC restart when zooming - Fireworks CS3

    Every time when I make a zoom into a image and scrol using
    the hand tool the PC restarts. No error, no blue screen, alwais the
    PC restarts.
    I´we formatted and reintalled windows XP, update
    Fireworks, reintaled Video drivers, but alwais the same.
    P4 3 GH, 1 GB ram, 255 GB HHDD. ATI RAEDON 9600SE 128 MB RAM.
    Any Ideas.
    Thanks

    Reducing the hardware acceleration has solved the
    problem. Tanks !!!
    Some comments:
    When I scrolled with the hand tool I noticed a thiny noise
    like a bzzzzz, if there where some static electicity, (I have the
    case on my desktop near me, so whith silence the noise was
    perceptible).
    I tryed with other applications scrolling the same way and I
    nottice the same noise but reduced, not so strong as with Fireworks
    CS3.
    Then I tried the same with Fireworks MX, and surpprisingly it
    was lighter than the CS3 versión.
    Finally I nottice that it ocurres only on the edit whindow,
    when I moved other objects, like panels or menus, it didn´t
    happend. But when I moved over any object on the edit window,
    without touching (just going over it) the noise appears again.
    All this indicate me that FW CS3 render in some special way
    (different to other applications) and requires more power from the
    video card which produces static electricity causing the pc crash.
    It will be interesting some other theory, If any, just for
    understanding a litle more.
    Again, thanks for all the suggestions.

    Hi,
    Error: Indicates two revision levels are incompatible.Which Version of Windows Vista you have installed on your machine,OEM or RTM?
    Please perform a cleanboot. A Clean Boot will allow us to isolate any device drivers or programs that are loading at startup that may be causing a conflict with other device drivers or programs that are installed in your computer.
    1) Run MSCONFIG.EXE. (MSCONFIG is a built-in tool for Windows XP\2003 systems.)
    2) In the Services tab, click "Hide All Microsoft Services" and click "Disable All".
    3) In the Startup tab, click "Disable All". Click OK. (This will temporarily prevent third-party programs from running automatically during start-up.)
    4) Restart the computer. Does the problem still persist?
    If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to one application or service we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to re-enable the disabled item one by one to find out the culprit.
    Also,please reintall Windows Update Agent for Windows Vista
    X-86:
    http://download.windowsupdate.com/WindowsUpdate/redist/standalone/7.0.6000.381/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe
    X-64:
    http://download.windowsupdate.com/WindowsUpdate/redist/standalone/7.0.6000.381/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x64.exe    
    After that please re-start "Windows Update" services.
    You can do that by: type "services.msc" from a command prompt and find "Windows Update"
    Hope it helps.
