1. Used Lenovo Recovery to bring Win7 back to factory state
2. Created disc image using Acronis True Image 2013
3. Deleted Lenovo Recovery partition
4. Created new partition for Windows 8 (with intention to run as dual-boot)
5. Uninstalled all programs recommended by Lenovo here:
 http://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/windows8​/upgrade/think/notebook4_en.html
 and those suggested by Microsoft`s Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant
6. Purchased Win 8 Upgrade digital download
7. Ran install from c: drive on same Windows 7 partition. Install failed and Windows 7 OS restored.
8. Created Win 8 Installation disc.
9. Ran install from DVD drive on new partition for Windows 8. Install failed.
10. Ran install from DVD drive on same Windows 7 partition. Install failed.
Comments:
-each install run took hours to run through, not minutes
-most times, I get to black screen with blue Win8 logo and circular thinking icon until system goes into suspend mode.  Restarting machine brings me back to black screen with logo.
-when attempting install from DVD on new partition, received BSOD with error code. Pressed F9 to boot Windows 7.
After hours of searching the web for an answer, NOTHING.
Please help.  

On my T510, I burned the disk and shut off the computer. Then I booted from the disk and it entered setup. When you get there DO NOT CLICK "Upgrade: Install Windows...". REPEAT: DO NOT CLICK
Instaed, click "Custom: Install windows only". Then it will give you a list of partitions to install to. Click your partition, click format, and click install or next or whatever. The computer is almost flawless without any lenovo drivers.
I timed the install, and it took almost 13 minutes to get from entering the serial to the initial setup (where you pick your email and stuff) and after completing that in a reasonable amount of time the computer was at the start screen (usable) by 18 minutes. This is was on a 7200rpm hdd so it should go much faster for you.

  • Z400 Discs with EFI partition not mounting after Win 7 Pro upgrade

    HP z400: After a repair/upgrade of Win 7 Pro (64) sp1, any external disc with an EFI partition will not mount.  Drive will be present in BIOS and Disc Management, though without a letter. Unable to assign a drive letter.  All other discs mount correctly.  Drives with EFI partition will mount on other PCs.  All drivers appear to be current and fuctional. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I figured it out... after two weeks of head-scratching, I finally found the cause. 
    I run MacDrive 8 so i can read discs with HFS+ formatting.  That program needed to be fully uninstalled and re-installed after the upgrade.  I had de-activated it prior to the upgrade, but it needed more than that.  Everything works now as expected.
    But wouldn't it be ince if Windows would read mac discs natively?

  • Lenovo Win 7 Pro Upgrade - Recovery Partition?

    If this has been covered already then I apologize in advance, but it would be appreciated if someone would  respond to the following: 
    I recently upgraded my T61 to Windows 7 Pro using the two-disc set from Lenovo.  To preserve my original XP pro setup, I used a new Seagate 250 GB hard drive for the Windows 7 upgrade.  One of the first steps of the installation was an automatic setup of two partitions (one of 232 GB and another of about 18 GB).  Then the process loaded the Windows 7 operating system on the larger one.  The final step was to use the campanion disc to upload Lenovo specific software (ThinkVantage Toolbox).  Using Toolbox, I installed the appropriate drivers from Lenovo's website and Windows 7 pro works just fine.  However, it's not clear if restoration files were loaded to the drive's smaller partition as one gets when he/she gets installs the Lenovo version of Windows XP pro.  Moreover, the Windows 7 upgrade does not seemed to provide Lenovo-specific wallpaper, etc. as with Windows XP.  In short, can one restore Windows 7 from a recovery partition as is possible with the Lenovo's version of XP Pro? 

    Hi TEF,
    Welcome to the forum!
    The answer to your question is yes, recovery partition does get created during the upgrade process/clean installation. If you decide on installing Win 7 on old drive then make sure to create recovery discs for XP in advance because during the upgrade Win 7 set from lenovo deletes old recovery partition.
    As to which OS the thinkvatage button will restore to, take a look at this thread:- http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-Discussion/Windows-7-upgrade-discs-will-include-the-option-for-... [especially last post from milliken]
    Hope it helps.

  • Bought Win 8 PRO upgrade, still can't use older programs!

    I bought a new Windows 8 computer and was told that if I wanted to use my older programs that were compatible with XP, Vista, etc., that I would have to upgrade to the Pro version of Win 8. I spent the extra $99.99 and the thing STILL WON'T LET ME RUN
    THOSE PROGRAMS! That's so frustrating! I replaced my previous computer -- a year-old DELL that wasn't just a lemon it was a lime, too -- because it was too frustrating. Now I'm frustrated with my month-old computer that I "UPGRADED" the OS to enable
    me to continue using my favorite programs (desktop publishing, photo editing, etc.) and it won't let me do so. I'm ready to go APPLE if this issue isn't resolved to my satisfaction! I'm so tired of arguing with computers and trying to make them do what they're
    supposed to! A long, solid cement block wall is so VERY tempting right now; a solid introduction to my current and previous (I still have it) computers would be so much fun!
    How do I make my Windows 8 PRO computer actually do what I was told it would do: Run the older programs? I'm not asking for the moon, just for Microsoft to keep their word!

    Probably that's why the user was told to upgrade, Hyper-V is an optional feature in Windows 8 Pro. 
    Yeah, probably true.  Although previous versions of the desktop OS had Virtual PC.  I believe this is probably more an attempt to standardize on the more robust Hyper-V product (and allow better upgrades and experience) and let the older VPC, as
    legacy, ride quietly into the sun.  
    That, and to piss VMware off even further as more people learn of and realize the true power of Hyper-V. >:)

  • Win 7 Pro to Win 8 Pro Upgrade Help needed!

    So basically I need somebody to walk me through this like I'm computer illiterate, which I'm generally not, but hesitant to get started without actually understanding the whys and hows.
    I bought a Thinkpad S440 with preinstalled WIndows 8 Pro.
    It has the Win8Pro sticker at the bottom and the five recovery disks.
    Now, the store told me that Lenovo had downgraded it to Windows 7 Pro, so this is what I'm running currently.
    I want to upgrade it first to Windows 8 Pro and then to Windows 8.1 Pro (unless I can do it all at once?) Clean install preferable.
    It does not have an optical drive, so the Recovery disks which state they can be used to upgrade are pretty much useless. I don't have access to an optical drive anyway, so I can't create iso images of them either.
    Also, I don't have a Windows 8 Pro Product key, because apparently it's embedded in the BIOS. 
    I'm at a loss as how to go about this thing. I bought a Windows 8 Pro machine, I want to be able to use Windows 8.1 Pro. I mean, it should be possible, right? The stickers and purchase order all state Win8 Pro as the OS.
    P.S. There's also a 20GB partition on my SSD for Lenovo Repair & Recovery? Is that usable somehow? Why is it there? 
    Advice? Walkthroughs? I'm completely frustrated with the lack of Product Key.
    I've done several upgrades and clean installs on previous computers, but I've never felt limited like this....
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi clen3k,
    You might not have to do that, but nowadays USB optical drives are very inexpensive and you should be able to find a drive even where you are located.
    But, back to the original question.  Seeing as how Windows 8 was preloaded and your machine was downgraded to Windows 7, your recovery partition should contain the Windows 8 OS.  I say, "should".
    Have you loaded anything into the Windows 7 OS that you don't want to lose?  Loading Windows 8 might be as simple as booting into Rescue and Recovery and returning the machine to factory settings.  Or, just go into Rescue and Recovery from the desktop and return the machine to factory settings.  Once you are in there you should be able to see what OS Recovery is going to install.  
    Only thing is if you don't like Windows 8, you will have to jump through a few hoops to get Windows 7 installed back onto your machine.
    I would suggest getting yourself an external hard drive if you don't already have one and doing a backup of the current OS before you start so you could return the machine back the way it is now if something messes up. No matter what happens, down the road you will want to do current backups on a regular basis anyway so you need to have something to do those backups on.  
    Regards,
    Dave

  • Install Bootcamp using Win XP Pro upgrade using a twisty tie

    Seriously, I tried everything but when I opened my Mac Pro and realized that the superdrive has an open/close button, I figured out how to open the drive during installation of XP upgrade and insert my older OS disc.
    I have the step-by-step instructions here:

  • Lightroom 5.6 on Win 7 Pro 64 bit SP1 tying up CPUs, running very slowly

    Hi,
    I have Lightroom 5.6. Whenever I use the Spot removal, Graduated filter, Radial filter or Adjustment brush tools in the develop module, it ties up the 6 CPU cores (as viewed in Task Manager) so everything goes very slowly. For example, the effect of a stroke with the Adjustment brush only appears on screen after 5 seconds or more.  Sometimes it gets so bad that I have to kill the process and restart Lightroom.  It affects other programs running at the same time, as they can't get enough CPU.  It is basically unusable. An edit that should take five minutes can take an hour.
    The problem happens when I either
    In the Library module I select an image that I have previously used the tools mentioned above on
    or
    In the Develop module when I use those tools.
    It is not just an issue with Lr 5.6 - previous versions also did this on my system.
    My workflow is:
    Browse the library module, adding images to a collection (Canon EOS 7D raw)
    For each image in the collection I:
    Select the image
    Create a virtual copy
    Stack the original and copy together
    Edit the copy
    Export AdobeRGB 16 bit PSD to Photoshop for sharpening and conversion to CMYK
    Place the image into my InDesign document
    I occasionally use Perfect Photo Suite 8.x on my images from within Lightroom.
    I have been a software developer for over 30 years, so I'm not doing anything stupid. Lightroom is just spinning the CPU cores to no effect, like it has a thread or threads in an infinite loop.
    I typically have Lightroom, Photoshop (CC or CS6) and InDesign CS6 running at the same time.  All three together occupy just over half of the available RAM.
    I have a prettty fast machine (see the specs below) and other software does not tie it up like this (except rendering video in Pr or Ae, which I expect).
    I have tried googling for an answer, with no success.
    I feel this is an issue that Adobe ought to provide technical assistance for, given the technical nature and severity of the problem.
    Please help.

  • Need a driver for Acrobat Distiller 5.0.0.0 that will work on Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit.  How can I find it?

    Need a driver for Acrobat Distiller 5.0.0.0 that will work on Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit.  Where can I find it, and what file is it?  (Yes, it's an old Distiller that came with Acrobat 5.  So shoot me.  But I do need the driver.)
    Win 7 prompted me for an *.inf file.  Any idea?
    If I find the original Acrobat 5 CD, which .inf would it be?
    (Hey, since I'm asking, also a driver that will work on Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit.)
    Thanks.

    There is no .inf file on the Acrobat 5 CD that you can use to create a “driver.” If Distiller 5 even installs and runs on Windows 7 x64, the plumbing that came with Acrobat 5 to automatically feed PostScript files created by the PostScript driver to Distiller simply won't work with modern versions of Windows or any 64-bit version of Windows.
    FWIW, Acrobat 5 is five full versions back from the current version. And no, we won't shoot you; you are effectively doing that to yourself!  Your time must be worth something?!?!

    I had previously posted the issue as "HP System Recovery Fails on new HDD", however it appears that the reason it is failing is due to incorrect formatting of the hard drive:

I purchased the suggested replacement  (WD Blue 320GB Mobile Hard Drive - Designed for everyday computing - 2.5", SATA 3Gb/s, 5400RPM, 8MB C...)
    I have attemptted the System Recovery several times each failing with errors. But after each failure the HDD is found to be incorrectly formatted as documented in the following link:

    Slolearner,
    After doing a little research, I believe your issue may be related to your new hard drive being an AF (Advanced Format) drive. Please see "WD Scorpio® Blue™ SATA/PATA Hard Drives", which indicates your WD3200BPVT may an AF drive.
    Please see "Cannot Recover the PC after Replacing the Hard Drive with an AF Drive (Windows 7 and Vista)" for information on this subject. While this document isn't for your specific computer, it is generic enough that it applies to your situation. If you wish to use your HP Recovery Discs successfully, you may need to purchase a non-AF drive.
    If your computer boots into Windows, please see "Identifying an Advanced Format Hard Drive" to download and run the HP Advanced Format Hard Drive Information tool.
    If it is an AF drive, please see "Preparing Advanced Format Hard Drive for Windows" and "Improving the Performance of an Advanced Format Hard Drive" for more information on the subject and possible steps to be taken to resolve your issue.
    Lastly, it may be necessary to follow Paul_Tikkanen's advice and install Windows Vista from a Microsoft Windows Vista installation disc as follows;
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    If you can still read the 25 character Microsoft Vista product key on the bottom of your PC, you can make your own plain Vista installation media and use that to at least get the OS on your PC.
    Here is how to do that if you can read that key:
    Please click on the link below, click on the Windows Reinstallation Guide [27-07-2013] pdf link on the upper left of the page and then read the instructions for doing this starting on page 302.
    http://philipyip.wordpress.com/dell-community-forums/
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    You may also consider purchasing a copy of Windows 7 and installing that instead. Windows 7 SP1 has much better support for AF drives than the previous versions of Windows.

  • Installing VPN Client 5.0.07.0240 on Win 7 Pro 64 bit error 1720

    I purchased a new laptop last week. It is Win 7 Pro SP1 64 Bit. Old laptop Win XP Pro. Used Laplink's PCMover to move apps rather than to have to re-install. One of the apps was VPN Client 4.8.02.0010 This app did not work properly on new pc after migration. Had customer send me VPN Client 5.0.07.0240 for 64 Bit. They did so. I installed. I believe it uninstalled the old (migrated) VPN Client but did not do the install of the new VPN Client. Every time I attempt to install, I get error 1720. There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package.A script required for this install to complete could not be run. I called Cisco support and they led me here. I am pretty desperate, been trying to get this done for 18 hours. The reason I called support was I thought I could purchase my own VPN Client, whichever one would be best for me to access several sites that use Cisco VPN's (I have sites that use openvpn, etc), perhaps AnyConnect that I have seen herein, and then Cisco could help me install the client. If that is a good path to take, please let me know, otherwise how do I get this vpn client installed, please. John

    Hello John, and everyone.
    I am aslo face this issue. I tried to install software cisco VPN client "vpnclient-winx64-msi-5.0.07.0290-k9.exe" in my customer's labtop that installed window 7 64bit and it shows message  "cisco vpn client not support 64bits". but why in descript say that  "vpnclient-winx64-msi-5.0.07.0290-k9.exe"

  • Win 7 Pro 64 bit Pre load replace Win 7 Pro 32 bit

    How do I pre-installed win7 pro 64-bit system to replace Win 7 Pro 32-bit system?
    Thanks

    If you can live without the recovery partition, a 64-bit version of W7 can be downloaded - both legally and freely - from here:

  • Lastpass doesn't install into firefox 18. I'm using win 8 pro 64 bit.

    I have ie 10, firefox 18, and the latest version of chrome on my win 8 pro 64 bit os. I first used the universal installer for lastpass password manager to install lastpass on all my browsers. It showed up fine in ie and chrome but there was no sign of it in firefox 18. I checked the toolbars under the view tab and there was no sign of it. I've been using lastpass for about 1 1/2 yrs now and this is the first time it didn't show up in one of the browsers. I tried reinstalling using the universal installer and I also tried just installing it in firefox through the addons. There is still no sign of it. If you know what is causing this , I would like to know. Thank-You......John MacKinnon

    Same problem, Windows 7, 32 bit, Firefox 18.0.

  • Why i can't install itunes on my PC with win 7 pro 32 bit ?

    dear apple.
    Could you tell me how to install itunes 10 or 11 on my pc with win 7 pro 32 bit ?
    when i try to installing itunes my PC has appear error so i can't complet install itune on my PC
    Im trying many time but it just send me error and i cant finish installing itunes
    So could you tell me how to fix that ?
    Thanks
    Jonny

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
