T440s - Rapid Startup and Windows 8.1 ?

Hi, is it possible to have Rapid Startup on Windows 8 on T440s ?
I havn´t tested it before, but maybe someone could explain best pratice how to deploy Win8 on T440s.
Thanks, Magnus

Hi,
WDS provides PXE boot to install windows, it has nothing to do with windows component. I don’t think WDS is the culprit here.
I recommend you ask in manufacture forum, they may give you more effective suggestions.
Thanks for understanding.

  • T440S system update and window 8.1

    When I click the system update, it prompt me "An error occured while gathering user information" and stop.
    What can I do to fix it?  Thanks.

    Because the method you have to use is:
    System.getProperty("property_name");
    Hope it's been useful for you.

  • Lenovo U310: Clean Windows 7 Installation Guide (including Rapid Start and Caching)

    Hi there,
    this is the first time that I am writing such a guide/tutorial/whatever you may call it – there are probably better ones, but though not being a total computer noob, it took me almost one week to get this pretty (now again) little beast running again. So hopefully this helps some others to avoid such stupid downtimes.
    A brief overview on what has happened to my original win 7 Home Premium:
    As some may know, this laptop is very well usable as a “Hackintosh” called Macbook clone. So that’s what I did. It turned out to be nice, but I wanted to go back to Windows after a while, using a clean W7 Pro installation to start over. Actually an easy task, format all drives, install Windows, be happy. Just as I had been doing this for years. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a real challenge. First, I couldn’t “see” my drives during installation (and thus not install), then I got random errors during installation aborting it at different points and finally rapid start and caching didn’t work. Every time I tried to activate them (after Win installation), it crashed my PC. I even found an (official Lenovo!) guide stating to install W7 on the SSD, which worked, but sucks due to space limitations. Oh and another very nice thing: The SSD showed up during WIN installation (but not the classical hard drive) stating it was about 60 GB. So as you can see, I have had a lot of different tries and errors. Why I didn’t use Lenovo Easy Recover? As said before, I erased all partitions…
    Before we start: If you have a good Windows running on the Laptop, do yourself a favor and disconnect the RAID 0 disks using the Intel Rapid Storage Application before(!!!) proceeding. It will make things much easier. And don’t forget to get all you data on an external drive or something.
    Ok, now let’s start.
    1.)    Prepare a USB Stick with the following driver
             http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=21730 (choose f6flpy-x64.zip If you’re running a   
             64-bit system (standard nowadays), take f6flpy-x86.zip if it is a 32-bit Windows, just download and copy them
             into the stick’s root directory) and plug this stick in one of the left side USB ports.
    2.)    You’ll need Win 7 on either a DVD (plus external drive, for sure) or (bootable) USB stick
    3.)    Connect your drive/stick (with W7) to the right side USB port.
    4.)    Switch the computer on, immediately hit FN and F2. That will open the BIOS.
    5.)    In the BIOS, navigate to the very right section (“save and exit”) and navigate the cursor to “load setup defaults”.
             Hit enter to approve.
    6.)    After that, go to the “boot” tab and disable UEFI-boot.
    7.)    Next, go one more tab to the left and set the controller setting to RAID (NOT AHCI or Compatible!!!).
    8.)    Navigate the cursor down to “Intel Rapid Start” and hit enter. A submenu will pop up-
    9.)    Disable the first entry in that window, that will make the rest be disabled as well.
    10.) Navigate to the very right tab, this time hit save and exit.
    11.) The PC restarts.
    12.) Immediately hit FN and F12 to open the boot selection menu. Select to boot from your W7 DVD drive or USB
            stick.
    13.) Click yourself through the whole process of installing Windows 7 until the page comes up where you will have
            to select where to install it.
    14.) Click on “load drivers” and after a few seconds your downloaded driver should be there. Click ok to use them.
            Please do this step even if you can see your drives (SSD Disk 0, 32 GB and HDD Disk 1, 465(<-?) GB) as you
            would expect them – otherwise you’re very likely to get an error during the install process.
    15.) Now erase all partitions on both drives and select the HDD as the drive to install W7 to – NOT THE SSD!!!!!
            Seriously, don’t choose the SSD.
    16.) Windows will probably say that some extra partitions are necessary and so on, click ok and install Windows.
    17.) After the installation has finished and you see your Desktop, I suggest you to proceed with the next steps in the
            following order to see as early as possible if you are on the right way.
    18.) Install the Chipset driver, restart.
    19.) Install the Intel Rapid Storage “driver” and check the box where it asks to additionally install the control center.
            Reboot.
    20.) Go into BIOS (FN and F2) and enable Intel Rapid Start (the one you disabled in Step 8 and 9)
    21.) Boot into Windows.
    22.) Click on the Windows button, type cmd and right klick on the cmd.exe, select to run it as Admin.
    23.) Now you’ll create a hibernation partition on the SSD. (which by now should be completely empty as we’ve
            deleted all partitions in step 15)
    24.) In the command prompt that we have just opened, type: (without quotas, for sure)
    “diskpart” and hit the enter button
    “list disk” and hit the enter button
    Now you should see your ssd as disk 0 and your hdd as disk 1
    If your ssd is disk 0 (that would be standard), write “select disk 0”, otherwise write: “select disk 1”, and hit the enter button.
    Now write “create partition primary size=4096” and hit enter again. [if you have 4GB of ram, type 4096, if you have 8 GB of ram, use 8192]
    Now write “detail disk” and hit enter to see the volume number behind the volume that we have just created (it is 4 GB or 8 respectively, should be easy to find), in my case that was “2”
    Now type “select volume 2” if your 4 or 8 GB volume has number 2 as well, otherwise use the number you found out in step f. Hit enter.
    Finally, type: “set id=84 override” and hit enter for one last time.
    It should now say back that the id has been set successfully.
    Exit the command prompt. (close)
    25.) Reboot
    26.) Install the Rapid Start driver. Reboot.
    27.) Open the Intel Rapid Storage Application.
    28.) Click on accelerate and approve the settings. Two RAID’s will be created. Reboot.
    29.) Install the remaining drivers, have fun with Windows Update and that’s it!
    Good luck to all of you… And hey Lenovo - wouldn't that have been your job after all these posts showing your costumers in trouble? Just my two cents...
    If you want, you can now turn on UEFI-boot in BIOS.
    PS: If, after installing all drivers, you happen to see one unknown device in your device manager – this one belongs to Lenovo Connect Software that came with your Laptop. (Updates FB, Email etc when PC is in sleep mode) If you install Lenovo Connect it’s going to be fine, however, I would not recommend it as it is said to use a lot of energy and cause some other problems. So just live with it, your PC is totally fine without it.
    Kind regards from Shanghai

    Seriously guys, I can't use my 3 days old laptop. Some help would be mostly appreciated. At this point, the network connection issue doesn't show up anymore, it's just a blank screen after reboot. I reinstall windows and do it all over again just to achieve the same result.
    Now couple of things caught my attention: as I load the "6flpy-x64.zip" driver from step 14, I get a message saying I need to install signed drivers, because unsigned ones are likely to mess up the system.
    Secondly, I could not find any Rapid Storage Technology drivers for Windows 7 (particularly for U310 model), so I use the Windows 8 ones (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS031455), which seems a silly thing, yet I know of no alternatives.
    Could it be any of these issues to cause my problem? Or smth else? Please help!

    Probably should've searched around a bit more. Just saw a similar forum post to my own in which redownloading and burning solved another user's similar issue. As of now I've redownloaded the 64-bit ISO, burned it, and so far so good (at 72% extracting files). I will repost here if it was a success in hopes that other users with a similar issue find this and benefit from it. Hope I didn't just waste anyone's time with a question that had already been answered (haha)

  • How to detect windows startup and appdata folder from java?

    To read the startup and appdata path I execute the following registry command and capture the foldername from the output:
    reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v Startup
    The path contains the windows users name which may contain international character. The inputstream used to capture the path uses the
    default encoding of the platform but it seems to get it wrong - international characters looks wrong and any subsequent use of the path
    throws FileNotFoundException.
    What is the right way to detect theese folders or is there a fix to my current folder detection shown below?
         private static final String RESULT_TOKEN_REGSZ = "REG_SZ";
              String value = null;
              Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(windowsCommand);
              BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process
                        .getInputStream()));
              String line = null;
              StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(250);
              while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
                   sb.append(line);
              String capture = sb.toString();
              int pos = capture.indexOf(RESULT_TOKEN_REGSZ);
              if (pos != -1) {
                   value = capture.substring(pos + RESULT_TOKEN_REGSZ.length()).trim();
              }

    To answer my original post.
    I found what I believe is a robust (although somewhat complex if you havent touched C code i more than 10 years like me) method to read the windows registry keys.
    I call the following native windows unicode functions using the JNA api:
    advapi32.RegOpenKeyExW
    advapi32.RegQueryValueExW
    Notice the W at the end - those functions encode character strings using wide character encoding UTF-16LE (Little Endian). Now nothing is "lost in translation"...
    Wont post the kode here since it spans multiple srcfiles and is rather involved - but there are many good samples on the JNA site.

  • How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    Question
    How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    '''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
    This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
    This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
    # If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
    # Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
    # Select Tab Groups.
    # Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
    # Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
    #A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
    # Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
    # Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
    # DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
    # Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
    # So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''

  • How to select the desired language in the item Startup and Login Windows?

    Users can individually select the language in which applications are displayed by moving the entries in the Language list of the International pane in System Preferences into the desired order. However, this language preference only affects applications started by each user, it does not apply to the startup phase of the operating system and its login window. Under normal circumstances, this kind of language preference can only be set when installing or reinstalling the operating system.
    How to modify this language preference without having to reinstall the system. Select the desired language in the item Startup and Login Language ?

    The language used by the login window is written in /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist. The file name begins with a dot . , so it is hidden in the Finder.
    If it is OK for you to use unix command line, then you can modify this plist file by using "defaults" command as follows (CAUTION! please be careful no to make any mistakes, and do it at your own risk).
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app. and type
    cd /Library/Preferences
    cp .GlobalPreferences.plist saved-GlobalPreferences.plist
    to make a backup copy of the plist. (if you get permission error, then try
    sudo cp .GlobalPreferences.plist saved-GlobalPreferences.plist
    and enter the admin password.)
    Then type
    defaults read /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences AppleLanguages
    to show the current setting. You can rearrange the list of languages as you like, for example,
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences AppleLanguages '(fr en)'
    (or sudo defaults write .... if you get permission error)
    I think you may make the list as short as you like.
    If you don't like to use Terminal.app, then install Xcode (you can find it in Tiger install DVD, or download the latest version from Apple -- you need to register at Apple website to download it). It will install /Developer/Applications/Utilities/Property List Editor.app. You can edit /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist by this app by typing the following into Terminal.app (it's hidden in Finder so you must use Terminal.app to start editing it by Property List Editor):
    open /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist

  • IOP startup and shutdown as windows services

    Hi,
    Is there a way can we have IOP startup and shutdown as windows services instead of running the bat files?

    Yes. You can install IOP as NT service and start/stop it.

  • ThinkPad Yoga Synaptics TouchPad Error msg on Windows 7 startup and loss of gesture functions

    I fresh installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my ThinkPad Yoga after getting fed up with windows 8.1. I now get the following error msg on each startup and the trakpad features do not work:
    "synaptics touchpad 64-bit enhancements has stopped working" 
     I can use the mouse but non of the gestures work. I have not been able to find any other posts with similiar issues on the Yoga so any help on this would be most appreciated. The device driver installed was taken from the lonovo site and is the "Synaptics ThinkPad UltraNav. Version 18.0.7.34 (N10GX08W)" 

    Just when I was happy that major issues have been resolved by constant updating, I am now experiencing this frightening problem. Mostly during startup, and lately in the middle of working, the screen freezes, shows very damaged image (like TV noise), produces the most unpleasant sound through the speakers and nothing works. I need to restart and hope that it will be ok. Sometimes it requires 2 or 3 restarts, going to safe-mode and returning back to get the issue resolved.
     This has happened three or 4 times within 24 hrs. I searched in the forum and for another model it was suggested that epresscache might be the cause. I disabled the service, but the problem reappeared even then.
    Any help please:
    This is what appears on the screen when the computer freezes and produces loud unpleasant noise sound.

  • Startup and shutdown of 11i Services in windows

    Hi friends, I am new for windows.
    how can we startup and shutdown of 11i instacne under windows.
    can we do it through services screen
    or
    can we do it through scripts as we do it on Unix/Linux
    which is the best method

    Either way is fine. Use the method which you feel if more comfortable to you. But I would suggest keep using scripts, as in future if you move to other platform you will not get surprised.

  • Startup and Shutdown scripts for OCS 9.0.4 on Windows?

    Hi,
    I wanted to know if startup and shutdown scripts for OCS 9.0.4 on Windows are available.
    I am thinking something like the ocsctl_sample scripts that OCS10g included.
    I have checked the OCS 9.0.4 documentation and not a lot of information for the windows platform is avaiable.
    Any information will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ana

    There is no scripts that comes with 9.0.4.
    One possibility is to just write the commands you normally use in a batch-file, but note that then you have no checking, and if OCS runs on several machines you should have some checking for required processes etc.
    We are using some scripts that does this, but I'm not shure where they came from, possibly from Metalink or from this forum. Try a search. Our scripts are changed quite a bit for our needs, but I might be able to find the original ones.

  • DV7 Running Windows 7 "Pop" in audio or speakers on startup and shutdown

    I installed Windows 7 on my DV7-1157cl laptop.
    I don't recall having any issues with the sound when I first installed, but there were a bunch of missing drivers immediately following the installation. So I went to the HP driver page and downloaded all of the Windows 7 drivers and installed them. 
    After installing the drivers, I began hearing a pop in the speakers on startup and shutdown.
    I'm sure the problem is with the drivers, because I have since rolled back whatever drivers I could in Device Manager and fixed the pop on startup. I'm still having pop in speakers on shutdown however.
    As an aside, I (and Microsoft) were puzzled by HP's insistence that the video drivers for this unit were Nvidia. They're Intel, and the ones WIndows 7 installs do not work properly. We had to go to Intel to find the correct video driver. I'm suspecting something similar with the audio.
    This machine is about 1 year old and it is ridiculous that HP is ignoring Windows 7 updates. Any HP engineers listening out there?

    i have a dv7i-3300 with the altech lancing sound sys, windows 7 64bit premium, and nvidia chips and graphics.  the notebook is 2 days old.  fresh install of everything and up to date.  the sound pops when i shut down and restart.  it doesn't come through the head phones though.  i have removed the wireless card (and disabled it's drivers), and I have disabled all other drivers that i could and still boot.  the only thing that changes is that the pop goes away on the shut down when i disable the HDT audio CODEC, but it still pops when it boots up.  it sounds like the pop is coming throught he base speaker in the bottom of the notebook.  I have also turned off the pc speaker (which isn't the same as the base speaker i don't think).
    anybody have any new info?

  • Maximize frame on startup and disable all windows button

    Hi every body:
    I new in java field, but I'm already working with oracle Developer form for three years.In developer form I used to maximize the window at startup and disable all the windows buttons (minimize,maximize, restore and close) but unfortunatly I tried to do it with Java I couldn't .
    For close I used : setDefaulCloseOperation(DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE )
    I also tried frame.setResizable(false) it only disable the resizing but what about minimizing and restore
    and how to maximize it automaticly at startup.
    Thanx in advance

    Try to use JWindow instead of JFrame. You can get
    screen size using:
    Dimension
    d=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize()
    and then
    jWindow.setSize(d);
    regards,
    StasFor most systems you should leave 20 pixels for the OS status bar, eg;-
    Dimension dim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    setSize(dim.width, dim.height-20);
    "and disable all the windows buttons (minimize,maximize, restore and close) but unfortunatly I tried to do it with Java I couldn't . For close I used : setDefaulCloseOperation(DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE )"
    Put the buttons on a Panel, then use this to restore it;-
    getContentPane(),add(ButtonPanel); // or remove(---)
    validate();
    For closing add a custom event class (or an anonymous class), eg;-
    inyour constructor;
    addWindowListener(new WindowController() ) ;
    class WindowController extends WindowAdapter{
    public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){
    // Conditions: eg typically -ask if the user wants to save befor closing?
    if(yes) System.exit(0);
    Hope that's of some use (:D)
