Could not get Crucial M500 SSD to work in Thinkpad X201

I have a ThinkPad X201 running Window 7, I have not make any changes to the computer hence all the hardware are original.Except when I recently bought a Crucial M500 SSD, First I use MiniTool to clone the HD to the new SSD. After cloning, I install the SSD into the X201. Window appear to boot up normally with no error message. But soon I notice the Window is not working correctly. For example Window no longer recognize Microsoft published program. For a simple thing like pressing Del to delete a file. A UAC warning will come on to asked if I will allow delete,exe from an unknown publisher to make changes to the computer.Then I tried to repair window by downloading the Window 7 ISO file from microsoft site and proceed to do an upgrade of Window, The upgrading process took quite a while. When everything appear to have finished an error message came on to say "Window setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware". So I gave up on cloning and try to make a clean install of Wondow on the SSD by using the Recovery DVD that came with the computer. The installation process gone through but at the end it ask me to put in the supplementary disk which did not come with the computer. Hence I could not complete the process. I am at a total loss, what can I do next to get it to work?

thanks. I used Minitool to make the cloning which can be booted up from a CD/DVD. I will try to clone with the target in the laptop as suggested and let you know the result.
Crucial normally supplies Apricorn EZ Gig software with their drives. If you don't have it, check Crucial's website and there should be a download available. It should work when it detects a Crucial drive connected.
I didn't understand that you said you were going to order an external enclosure. How did you do your clone with Minitool? If you were using an adapter cable, you should also be able to use it to connect the HDD externally.
The cloning software should take care of everything for you. The cloned disk should be a seamless, plug-and-play version of the original. You should not have to fix anything afterwards. Just boot it and start using it directly.

Thinkpad X201 - problem with microphone and speakers

Hi,
My thinkpad X201 is a professional computer set up with Windows XP. Although I cannot check, I am reasonably sure that the computer was installed with the latest drivers and is regularly updated to the latest SP and patches.
My problem is the following: in Volume Control window, when both the general "Volume Control" and "Mic in Volume" are un-muted and maxed-up, a feedback loop quickly builds. When I decrease the volumes of both to a lower values, I can actually hear myself speak with a slight delay. The same phenomenon can be heard if I use the internal mic or if I plug in a microphone.
So, it seems that the (internal or external) mic input is constantly sent to the speakers. This makes any recording with this computer very painful.
Did anybody experience this problem? Is there a solution?
I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
Thanks

Ok, I've fixed the Radio thing, I installed the Nvida drivers from the Nvida site, and then had to select the aux input twice. Still havn't fixed the Mic issue, any suggestions?
Thanks!

New ThinkPad X201 won't connect

The Wi-Fi card in my new X201 is a "Thinkpad b/g/n" mini-pci card II"
I can't discern the manufacturer but someone said it's probably RealTek.
Running System > Administration > Hardware Drivers comes up with nothing.
Any ideas? No one on the Ubuntu forums is responding, so far.
(Wish I'd gotten the Intel wi-fi card.) The card works fine in Windows.
Anyone know where or how to get a driver for this?

Here it is:
"Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8172 (rev 10)"
Know of a driver for this one?
I'm marking this as "Solved" because I just ordered the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 card from Lenovo through a local authorized Lenovo Service Center. They will be installing it for me.
I had the 6200 in my T410 (now sold) and I know it will work fine.
Thanks for your reply.

ThinkPad Twist s230u and ThinkPad x201 Tablet Creating Recovery Media

Hi Lenovo Customer Support,
ThinkPad s230u( model number: 3347CTO) - Window 8 Pro.
Before I start using my Laptop, I want to create a Recovery Media as is shown when installed with all partitions. Meaning if I format all contents of Laptop I want a recovery Media brings back computer as I go it in the first place include all partitions. By default there are five hidden partition and one ntfs.
What is the procedure how to Create a Recovery Media? I heard only Flash Recovery exist for Window 8.
Also I have Window 8 Pro but when I tried this link procedure http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Create-Win-8-recovery-media-in-ThinkPad-Thi... I saw only Window 8 option and even then it reboot and did not work.
Also I did Flash Recovery and Took Faster with USB 3.0 Flash around 10 min around 16GB Space
Is it possible to do CD Recovery too ?
ThinkPad x201 Tablet(Model Number: 30933PG) - Wundow 7 Pro
Can you do Flash Recovery Media and CD Recovery Media under Window 7 Pro Enviro.
If you upgrade Hard drive to 1T and RAM to 16 G RAM , Can you Still do the Recovery Media?
What is the Procedure to successfully create Recovery Media.
Thanks.

Reasons am asking this questions:
Sometime you test your computer doing a lot of things learning new technologies etc and suddenly you decide ok I want to take it back to factory state. Until now, most Thinkpad laptop does not come with recovery media. So how can I assure that my Recovery Media includes everything I used to have when I first receive unit.
I want to learn how to do that by myself by learning from the experts.
Until now what I know as follow:
ThinkPad x201:
I tried recovery media 3 DVD only with original hard drive works. I did not try Flash and not sure there is option yet.
If I upgrade unit with 1T hard drive and 16G Ram, How can I do Recovery Media?
ThinkPad Twist s230u:
I tried Flash and followed procedure on link in previous post. I took me less than 15 min to recovery whole. The question is does this process recover all the parts that is included when I receive unit.
I was unable to do recovery since I am not sure when in the Flash and during process showed to choose operating system was only Window 8 option not Window 8 Pro which came with unit.
I was able to do reset within system took longer and worked.
Is the recovery part build-in in the hardware or software partition? Is it included in the recovery Flash with all partitions?
Thank You. Awaiting for anyone to reply.

Thinkpad X201 usually suddenly shuts down!

Dear all!
I have two problems with my Thinkpad x201.
1/ When I use it with battery and charging then I plug adapter out, it suddenly shuts down. I take it to my office or repair service and do the same but it not suddenly shuts down.
2/ it has been running fine but always suddenly shuts down in an instant, as if somebody turned off the power switch when temperature CPU up to about 55 degree C (using battery only or adapter or adapter + battery). But I take it to my office to use or take to repair service, it not suddenly shuts down. => Use it at home suddenly shuts down when CPU up to about 55 degree C. Use at office or somewhere else not suddenly shuts down whatever temperature CPU up to about 55 or 60-70!
I find some topic talk about this problem but haven't got any good solutions. I would like hearing all idea. Thanks all!

Had the same issue with the X1 carbon. send it in as it likely has a bad motherboard.

Depends what you're looking for in a laptop.
Screen:
X201 has a 16:10 screen. X220 and later have 16:9 screens.
X201 can retrofit a ddecent AFFS screen. X220 and later have an okay IPS screen from factory.
Performance:
X201 through X230 have decently clocked full power CPUs. X240 has a bit weaker but still okay CPU. Everything afterwards is low-power.
X201 to X220 also significantly increased integrated GPU performance. X220 to X230 to X240 are modest increases.
Storage:
X201 can only take a primary drive. X220 and later can take a primary plus mSATA/NGFF SSD.
Wifi Card:
X201 and X220 can have the BIOS whitelist removed for wifi cards. X230 and later cannot.
Battery Life:
X201 to X220 is the biggest jump in battery life. X220 to X230 to X240 are relatively minor increases. X220 and later can take a battery slice too.
Keyboard:
X201 and X220 have classic keyboards. X230 and later have chiclet keyboards.

Trying To Create Bootable Diagnostics for ThinkPad X201

I'm working on a ThinkPad X201 that spontaneously shuts down - no warning messages, no blue screens; the system just shuts off. Not only does it happen while using Windows (that's Windows 7 Pro, 32-bit), but it also did it while I was running memtest86, a generic memory diagnostic.
I've also tried SpeedFan to see if the computer is experiencing thermal shutdown, but SpeedFan has yet to register a temperature in excess of 50C, well below the thermal shutdown threshhold on most computers.
That said, SpeedFan isn't the be-all and end-all of thermal diagnostic tools, and irrespective of what it says, the computer did seem to be blowing very hot air the second time I ram memtest86. Before I go to the trouble (and my customer's expense) of taking the computer apart, making sure the fan and cooling channels are clear and replacing the thermal compound on the processor and other chips that the heat sink sits on top of, I'd like to run Lenovo's bootable diagnostics.
I loaned out my external optical drive, so for the sake of expedience, I've been trying to make a bootable diagnostic flash drive. Lenovo provides a utility for this, but I can't get it to work. Per the instructions, I downloaded the ISO file and the bootable flash drive utility to a folder, and named them diag-image.iso and bootable-generator-10.exe, respectively. I put a USB flash drive (a 32GB SanDisk Cruzer, USB 2.0 version) in a USB port, and Windows assigns it drive letter E:. From an elevated command prompt, I change to that folder, and run the command:
bootable-generator-10.exe --create -l lenodiags -u e -f diag-image.iso
All I get back is the following error message:
Validate bootable
Failed to verify flags.
The bootable in E:\ is not valid.
Can anyone assist with this?

The method for creating a Mountain Lion flash drive only required you to clone the installer disk within the application to the flash drive. Job over. No need for passwords. With Mavericks Apple provided a way to do it because the old method used with Lion and Mountain Lion doesn't work for the Mavericks installer.
Would have been nicer had they provided an easy application to do it, but they did not. So it requires the Terminal, they more or less hid the fact it was even there, and they provide no instructions for its use by less experienced users.

Lenovo Thinkpad X201 fingerprint software

Hello all, I would like to ask about the fingerprint software that installed on thinkpad X201. Is this software have feature to encrypt files/folders using fingerprint authentication? If don't have, is there any way to have this feature that can be use on this machine? Thanks in advance for your help.

Well Lenovo Fingerprint Software is UPEK software with Lenovo skin implemented and few changes in configuration. Anyway, UPEK software has function called Secure Safe, this is virtual drive, content stored in encrypted file. On my Thinkpad i use Bitlocker for encryption, but this is only available on ultimate version.

No. I just got two of my X201 on my side and none of them have a gap in the bezels. And one of these two was a guinea pig for a panel swap so I ended removing and re-installing the bezel too many times. Still sits perfectly flat and with no flex or gap at all:

How i do restoring recovery partition on ThinkPad x201

If you do a factory restore using HP recovery discs it will put everything back including recovery partition. I don't know if any way to manually re-create the recovery partition.
NOTE: back up your files as Factory Restore wipes ALL data.

ThinkPad X201 - Hard Drive1 Password - no reset possible

Hello outside,
this post is going to be longish but I need to give as much information as possible to get your help.
We bought a bunch of lenovo X201 notebooks plus additional FDE drives (Hitachi, model name is HTS723225L9SA61, delivered through lenovo) to replace the builtin non-FDE ones. After performing some tests on one of those FDE drives I need to erase the master password of the Hitachi FDE drive. The drive contains just some test data, so everything can be erased/overwritten. AFAIR, this password is set by a SATA command, so I expected it to be changed by any tool that is capable of applying SATA commands like hdparm. I looked for datasheets on Hitachi harddrives and found a lot of SATA commands that can be applied to the drives. I just do not know how. I tried with hdparm but the valid status is displayed as frozen, therefore the tutorial I found but which I cannot refind here on this forum cannot be concluded. It reads as i fit allowed to overwrite the Master password at the end. I read and followed several forum threads such as http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Can-t-remove-HDD-password/m-p/241677 and http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/R-and-L-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Hard-Disk-Password-functionality-bug/td-p... without success. I also tried with Hitachi Tools and external boot media such as Parted Magic/hdparm/smartmontools. With none of them I succeeded, so I am looking for your help.
Expectations
Entering BIOS>Security>Password, setting Hard Disk1 Password to "User+Master" shall prompt the User for his password on powering up the notebook. In case he forgot his password, Master can login and let User set a new password. That way, no foreigner powering on the machine can gain access to the data. He can only erase all data on the drive by setting up a new Master password using special tools. This will only deliver him a bare drive but no business data.
What happened?
Case 1
I ran into the same problem as described in both scenarios of http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/R-and-L-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Hard-Disk-Password-functionality-bug/td-p.... I placed the FDE drive into the notebook, entered the BIOS settings for Security>Password>Hard Disk1 Password and set Master+User password at the same time (there is an option to set them in parallel). The User password can still be changed but my initially (and just once) set Master password is not being accepted when I power on the notebook and hit F1 for the overlying Master password instead of the User password. Even right after setting Master+User passwords it was not possible to change the password inside the BIOS or to access the computer by entering the Master password. The password was rejected all the time. Only the User password allows me to gain access to the system. Any typing errors are excluded as I used a very simple password for the start (just capitals and a number) while I was watching every character to appear as a filled box on the screen and both passwords (first Master password plus confirmation password) were of the same length and for sure of the same characters (otherwise BIOS had to reject but not accept this as the initial password).
Hitachi offers some tools at http://hitachigst.com/support/downloads/ which did not help me either (I had to run them on an X61 due to not supported ICH9M). Feature Tool does not offer operations to push SATA commands to the drive. So I used Hitachi Drive Fitness Test to perform a full write operation to the disk. This took several hours and I did that because I was hoping to be able to set new User+Master passwords afterwards. This is not possible as I am still asked for the current Master password. So don't waste your time with that.
Booting off a Linux Live CD using smartmontools does not allow me to push commands to the drive either as the fitting status is set to "frozen".
This is all I found out that can be performed on the drive to regain access to set the Master password. All in all I find this whole procedure very frustrasting. Documentation is incomplete from my POV. The most simple way would be to have a tool for changing the drive's key, losing all the data on it but allowing to reuse the disk. I did not find a dedicated function to do so. At least by overwriting the drive I expected to be able to reset the Master password but I learnt that it just overwrites the data but not the harddrive key.
After having performed the erase operation to the drive the BIOS offered new information for Hard Drive1 Password:
"Current setting: Enabled
Status: In Process
In Process: To complete enrollment, click Start>All>ThinkVantage>Create Recovery Media, and follow instructions
Registered: If password is forgotten, press F12 at power-on password prompt to recover."
I did that (create the bootable media) and set up a USB thumbdrive which was not bootable although the write operation ended successfully. Then I did the same with a bunch of DVD+RW media and ended up on disc 3 in an "unexpected error (rc=9)" for the check at 22% after write to disc operation. In the end, this is just a product recovery disc which allows to reinstall Windows 7 but not to change the hardware password for the disk drive (for sure).
No Supervisor password is set. According to http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=migr-59377 setting one would overwrite the Master password: "Setting a Supervisor password automatically sets the master Hard drive password". The questions are: which one will be the new Master password? The one used as Supervisor password? Will it be possible to disable the Supervisor password afterwards or will it stay on forever same as Hard Disk1 Password settings do? According to http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Can-t-remove-HDD-password/m-p/241677 even setting up a Supervisor password for the first time will ask me for the Master password in case those differ (which should be the general case).
I have no more ideas on what to do. Please give me some input.
Case 2
With a second drive which is not an FDE drive I tried to be more clever. I just chose to set the User password. But doing so no more allows me to place a Master password afterwards. All I can do from now on is change the User password but there is no possibility inside the BIOS nor in any of the Hitachi tools that I found to set a Master password afterwards. The worst thing about that is the fact that this information has _nowhere_ been displayed before setting the password. There _must_ be a warning about this beforehand! This is a real big fault which renders the drive useless. If there is no possibility for the user to fix that I will have to return the drives to the manufacturer because of this fault. What I am mostly missing is documentation. The supplied "lenovo Notebook Computer Hard Disk Drive User's Guide" just contains information on how to physically replace the drive plus some guarantee notes. There is no documentation coming by explaining the process of setting up a User(+Master) password, nor are there _any_ warnings during interaction. Nowhere did I find information on the fact that this operation is irreversible. This is not acceptable.
Once a User password is set, it cannot be removed anymore nor can the option be changed to "User+Master". There is just an option to change the password but not to disable the setting again. As any option inside the BIOS can be changed, this is totally unexpected by any user.
Would flashing the drive's firmware help, definitely?

I read the document now. No possibility to overwrite or remove the harddrive password (case 1) even for accepting to lose all data on it. Also no possibility to remove the User password or set an additional Master password afterwards once you've set the User password (case 2). At least in case 2 this is a definiive product fault that is nowhere stated beforehand, so even as a computer pro you cannot guess that setting this BIOS option will be a one-way ticket. Because of this I will have to return the drive to the manufacturer. Poor documentation, but not on the customer's back. Be careful if you set your Harddrive password.

Booting thinkpad t61 without a keyboard

I'm having the following problem with my Thinkpad T61.
Every few minutes the computer starts behaving as if a few keys on the keyboard are pressed. The keys are no physically stuck, the system just behaves as if they are. This happens sometimes for no apparent reason, but I can always make it happen by pressing any kye on the bottom right side of the keyboard.
I've concluded that the keyboard is faulty and ordered a new one.
In the meanwhile, I'm trying to use my laptop with an external (USB) keyboard. This doesn't quite solve the problem, b/c the laptop still allows input from the internal keyboard, so it still messes up too frequently. I've tried disabling the keyboard, but the Device Manager doesn't seem to allow me to do that. I thought of physically removing the keyboard, but then I don't have a Power button!
Does anyone have an idea for me for how to use my laptop until the replacement keyboard arrives?
Is there a way to boot the computer without a keyboard connected?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

How about unhooking the keyboard cable and taping the end so it doesn't make contact with anything on the board and leave the keyboard on so you still have the power button.

Thinkpad X201 critical low battery error 0190

I just bought a new battery recently because the one I had was completely dead, but now every time I try rebooting I get "0190 critical low battery error".
I've already updated the BIOS and I'm seeing no other results on Google to try to fix this. The only way I can boot up my laptop without getting that error is if I have the charger plugged in, but if it's not then I'll keep getting that error over and over.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Maybe it's a faulty battery. There are numerous reports about non-genuine Lenovo batteries being built with substandard or even dangerous components. Personally, I never use anything but genuine batteries in any of my ThinkPads. They are more expensive, but I've never been disappointed.
Do you have access to another known-good battery to test? Maybe a friend or colleague?
Regards.
