U310 touch new 120gb msata win 8.1

I bought a 120 GB msata and I'm planning to clone the HD with win 8.1 to the new msata drive and use the hard disk for storage.
Can you give an outline of what I need to do?
I tried to move the win 8.1 to the new msata on another u310 (non-touch) and now I can not access the bios.
Thanks

Hello,
I have a U410 Touch (which is very similar to the U310, I believe), and here's what I did with mine:
Ordered factory recovery media from Lenovo.
Opened U410 to remove 1TB HDD and 24GB mSATA SSD.
Installed 120GB mSATA SSD
Powered up, entered BIOS, and changed UEFI option to Legacy/BIOS/CSM option (I forget the exact name)
Installed Windows 8 using recovery media and external USB DVD±RW disc drive
Downloaded Windows 8.1 ISO from MSDN and extracted that to a 8GB USB flash drive
Ran Setup (filename: SETUP.EXE) from USB flash drive to install Windows 8.1
At that point, I was up and running. For some reason, the Windows 8.1 installer didn't like the Product ID Key that came with the system's Windows 8.0 installation, so I temporarily entered one of my MSDN license keys while installing it. Afterwards, I used the Software Licensing Manager (filename: SLMGR.VBS) with the /IPK option reinsert the Lenovo product ID key. You can look up yours up before installing Windows 8.1 with a utility like Belarc Advisor or Nirsoft Produkey.

Moving win 8.1 to msata ssd on U310 touch

Hi all;
Just upgraded the 24GB msata to a 120 GB msata and I'm having trouble cloning the hard drive over to the ssd with Clonezilla. The plan is to move the OS to the msata ssd and wiping the original hard dirve and using it for back-up and storage. The BIOS is current set to AHCI with Lagency OS support active but trying UEFI first. I've done this before with win 7 systems; but this is my first foray into win 8.1 w/UEFI. The system does reconize and access the 120 GB Crucial M500 msata disk; it just won't mirror the 8, win-8 partitions. I reinstalled the HD and rebooted the system; to ensure I didn't mess something up and everything seems to be working; though on the slow hard drive.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
PS. I did boot from the USB drive with Clonzillia on it and used the drive to drive cloning option
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here is what I did for all the issues.
I had installed Ubuntu in this machine. Forgot the steps I did to install Ubuntu. Later I decided to upgrade the machine with 8 GB memory and 250 GB samsung EVO 480 mSATA. The problem was moving win 8 to mSATA.
The bios had many boot entries
1. Windows Boot manager
2. HDD western Digital
3. Ubuntu
and many more.
By the way the, machine (with prebuilt win8) has SATA mode in ACHI, Boot mode in UEFI and Secure Boot Enabled and USB boot enabled by default. you can disable secure boot by first setting admin password.
I tried cloning HDD to SSD using Acronis True Image Western Digital version (Its free). But it could not clone rather it added an entry "Acronis loader" in Bios and there is no any way to remove bios entries or at least I could not find the way to remove.
during linux install, I had resized the win OS partition to create Ubuntu partition. I had no issue with the bios at that time. But when I deleted the linux partition, I no longer could access the bios again until I reflashed with bios file given here. https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/U310-can-no-longer-access-bios/td-p/896225... It really works for U310 touch.
Sorry for my whole story. you probably dont need to bother with the things I said above. Now below is what I did to install windows 8 on mSATA
A) Created UEFI bootable USB Win 8 install drive
I had win8 pro retail DVD image with serial Key. But in fact, you don't need the serial key. If you find win 8 installation DVD any way, it works because the win8 key is burned in your system Bios (Probably)
1. Insert USB drive ( 8GB or more, probably 4 gb works But I had 8)
2. make it UEFI bootable
go to cmd (command prompt)
diskpart
list disk
select disk # (# is disk number of USB drive)
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format quick fs=fat32
assign
exit
exit
Now insert win8 installation dvd / mount win8 iso image
go to cmd (command prompt again) and copy the win8 installation files to USB
xcopy d:\* f:\ /s /e
here d is win8 dvd/ win 8 iso drive letter and f is USB drive letter
once the copy process finishes,
exit
turn off the computer. remove the regular HDD. If you don't remove HDD, the new installation will add another boot menu for windows that is already in your HDD.
3. Insert newly created bootable USB drive
4. press the NOVO button(One key recovery button), go to bios setup, change the first boot device to USB, disable secure boot. you dont need to change UEFI boot and ACHI SATA operation.
5. save and exit.
Now your computer boots from the USB drive you created. The installation process starts. select clean install, select mSATA drive. and wait for the installation to finish. The installation will never ask you to enter the win 8 serial key. as you complete the installation, the win 8 will automatically be activated without all the bloatwares Lenovo ships with their laptop. In my case, I had win8 pro retail DVD, but the install activated Win8 only.
Delete the win OS partition of HDD but dont delete its recovery partitions in case If you need the recovery in future.
Note: The Recovery function of NOVO button is now useless. But you can use NOVO button for boot selection and bios setup. In fact, If you have any windows8 installation DVD/image ( you dont need serial key) , the recovery partition of your laptop is virutally useless as you can always recover your windows by 10 minute installation rather than waiting hours for recovery from recovery partition.
Hope this helps.

HELP Ideapad u310 touch win 7

Hi everybody
i got this ideapad U310 touch brand new and it came with win 8, then after i bought it i installed a win 7, it was working fine but the windows was asking for a valid prodcut key, i tryed a couple and no luck , so i found another win 7 from a friend with a valid serial , i installed the fist part, restart and finish the installation and then when was about to restart again now it only shows the lenovo logo and restart ,and keep restarting from the lenovo logo.
any help please , because i dont want to install the win 8.
thank you.

hi luifej,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
If the Installation completed and the product key was accepted , Then you should be able to log back in.
It's possible that the Installation got corrupted
Try Booting in Safemode by tapping F8 when on Lenovo Logo and see if that works.
I would Suggest do another Install of Windows 7 and Try completing it again,
Note: Use a product key that has not yet been used for another computer, WIndows may detect that the key was already used and prevent you from Using It,
If you wan't to get a product Key You might want to call Microsoft and Let them know you need a retail Product key (fees will apply) as this is a different Version of Windows from the Preinstalled.
Best Regards
Solid Cruver

IdeaPad U310 touch: Can no longer enter bios after updating to latest version

I flashed to the latest U310 bios (http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/65cn99ww.exe). I switched to "legacy boot mode" (from UEFI), in an attempt to workaround a driver issue. Now, I'm no longer able to enter BIOS whatsoever. There are plenty of forum posts by many users hitting the same or similar issues on U310/U410/U330 and similar ideapad products. But the resolutions where they exists are either invalid, or involve flashing to 65cn99ww.exe, which is not possible.
[Environment]
Lenovo IdeaPad U310 touch, Windows 8 (also tried Windows 8.1)
[What I did]
Flashed BIOS using official Lenovo bits (65cn99ww.exe). No errors occured
Enter BIOS afterwards and change to legacy boot mode (from UEFI)
[Problem]
Cannot enter BIOS to view or change any settings.
[Debugging]
Try to enter BIOS by key button sequence.
1. Tried the following combinations during bootup: F2, Fn+Fn, F10, Fn+F10, F1, Fn+F1, 'B', 'N', Fn+'B', Fn+'N', Delete, Esc.
==> No change in behaviour. I tried each many times in case the timing is important.
2. Boot by Novo button. This brings up a menu, which includes an entry to enter BIOS. However, choosing that menu entry boots to Windows
3. Reboot to UEFI firmware settings from Windows (Settings/General/Advanced/UEFI). I can choose to boot to UEFI settings, but ultimately, just boots to Windows 8.
4. Try to reflash BIOS. Fails with error 182: Version less than or equal. So reflash fails
5. Try to reflash old BIOS. Flashing fails
6. Unplug battery from motherboard for 1 minute. No difference in behavior
7. Boot with SATA disconnected.
8. Try various flashing options and alternate ways to flash. Not successful
[Conclusion - BIOS is faulty]
I think this problem can be solved easily with a slightly newer variant of the BIOS being officially released by Lenovo. If someone from Lenovo is reading, can you please open an internal case on this.
Otherwise, I'm open to suggestions from the community. Does anyone know how I can hex edit the bios version #.
Thanks

All,
When I navigate to the U310T (touch) on the support site, I'm not finding a BIOS update.
It may be that we have removed it. The U310 (non-touch) does still show BIOS 65 available here for Windows 8/8.1 and BIOS 21 on the same page for Windows 7.
Is it possible that you have a touch model and applied the non-touch BIOS?

RE: ideapad u310 touch hinge

so im going to have to fix my hinge myself... problem is i see multiple hinge types when i go to order. can anyone who had this problem send me a picture of the correct hinge type or even better send me a page where its on sale so i can buy it http://www.ukpcsparts.com/lenovo-ideapad-u310-touch-lcd-display-hinges-p-41349.html?zenid=0e57435dbffdf8b741deb38bd0bb7975 or http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Lenovo-IdeaPad-U310-Touch-LCD-Display-Hinges-Left-and-Right-/181628676540?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 these are the two types .... please help

I'm not an owner of your model, but in looking over links you have provided, I believe the picture shown in the eBay sale is incorrect. The hinges pictured in UK PC Parts link would be the correct ones when compared to Page #90 of the diagram shown in your model's Hardware Maintenance Manual and the pictures shown in the additional eBay search I did. Here are the results...
eBay search:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XIdeaPad+U310+hinge.TRS0&_nkw=IdeaPad+U310+hinge&_sacat=0
Hardware Maintenance Manual:
https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/ideapad_u310_u410_hmm_1st_edition_mar_2012_english.pdf
If you are still interested in the hinges offered by that eBay seller you might want to send them a message and have them verify that the picture is correct for what they are selling.

Problem connecting U310 touch with external monitors/projectors/TV

I spend almost 80% of my day in front of laptop or computers, running simulations, preparing ppts or report.
Liked the looks and light weight of the LENOVO Ultrabook U310 touch laptop so much, that I ended up buying it.
Except for look and light weight the laptop and LENOVO have turned into a big disappointment.
Found the laptop extremely slow.. on top of it, the LCD hinge broke down within few weeks.
The latest problem is with connecting external monitors or projectors. The laptop connects external monitors only if I uninstall driver and reinstall it. The connection is again lost if I reboot, and the driver again needs uninstalling and Reinstalling to connect any external monitor. Appreciate any suggestions
Best,
Sudhir

Could be your TV is using DVI-I and apple adapter
using DVI-D.
Hope this link provide information you need:
http://www.datapro.net/techinfo/dvi_info.html
Looking at the photos provided in this link, here is the details of what I´m using :
- standard mini-DVI to DVI-D Dual Link (provided by Apple)
- connector on the TV is DVI-I Dual Link
- cable provided by LG with the TV is DVI-D Single Link
Reading the comments regarding apple adapter, I came to this : "If you want to hook up some other sort of monitor (analog, DVI-I, ADC), this is not for you, or you may need an additional adaptor. ". I guess I´m in this situation but still don´t know what type of adapter or cable I should use...
Other possible solution : My TV has also HDMI port, I could try a DVI to HDMI cable but it´s quite difficult to find it here (south of spain...)
Does anyone have an idea with these new informations ?
Thanks in advance.

What Firefox version choices do I have for using Firefox on new laptop running Win 7 64-bit, and how do I move bookmarks from current laptop running Firefox 3.5.13 to new laptop?

Currently running Firefox 3.5.13 on laptop using Windows XP pro sp3 and will want to move my bookmarks to a new laptop. New laptop uses Win 7 pro 64-bit OS. I have read too many conflicting reports about Firefox and Win 7 and understand that Firefox is working on a true 64-bit version. What are my choices for a stable web browser for new laptop and which particular version of Firefox is recommended and the pros and cons of that suggestion? (I believe one can run Firefox 32 bit version in the 64 bit environment, but is that the best choice?) I have not installed Firefox on new laptop yet and am eager to dump IE. This is being posted from my old laptop. Thanks ...

If you go to this link you will be assured by Microsoft and Win7 "new" app checking and making sure that all drivers and software you have is compatible with Win7 64 bit. And in this article it states that Firefox version 3 IS compatible and designed for 64 bit OS, hm mm well as you know that is incorrect!! As of today Mozilla Firefox is not designed for a 64 bit computer. Thank you for your honesty and it saved me a big headache By being upnt and honest. my books!! Great job!!

Yes, your system already has the One Key Recovery section installed so there is no need to create another backup.

Unable to create new user on Win 8.1

I have a new laptop running Win 8.1 pro. Using my 'main' account everything is good and the laptop is connected to the internet.
I try to create a new user for my daughter by selecting "change pc settings" from the charms bar, then new account. I enter the email address for my daughter's existing microsoft account - one that works fine when used to login on a different win8.1

Forget about all the versions you already have (5.0 through to CS2). They will no longer work and the serial numbers are redundant.
Download the non-activation version of CS2 form the link provided by kglad and use the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number(s) will no longer work.
Note: there is no guarantee that CS2 will run well on Win 8.1. Try it and see.
