Windows 8.1 installation problem on Lenovo G510

Hi. I bought a new Lenovo G510 laptop. I downloaded Windows 8.1 from Microsoft DreamSpark, and burned ISO image on a DVD disc. When I try to install it on my laptop, I receive an error (it might be wrong translated):
Load Driver
A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB, or Hard disk driver. If you have a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive with the driver on it, please insert it now.
Note: If the installation media for Windows in the DVD drive or on a USB drive, you can safely remove it for this step.
I already tried changing the following options in BIOS but no effect:
Configuration tab -> SATA Controller Mode from AHCI to Compatible
Boot tab -> Boot Mode from UEFI to Legacy Support
Boot tab -> Boot Priority from UEFI First to Legacy First
Also, I tried to insert CD with drivers which was in the box, but - of course - no appropiate drivers were found.
What happened? How am I supposed to install a Windows 8.1? What should I try? Thanks in advance for giving any clues and answers
Solved!

hi JachuPL,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
From this microsoft article, the error that you're getting maybe caused by one of the following:
- The installation DVD is removed during the setup process.
- A low-quality DVD was used to create the installation DVD.
- The speed at which the installation DVD was burned was too fast.
- The DVD drive cannot read the media.
- The ISO file is corrupted.
Things that you can try:
1. Verify that the Windows 8.1 ISO is not corrupted by comparing the MD5 / SHA1 Hash of the download file to the one from DreamSpark. To get the hash, download and install the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier and foillow this guide.
2. Instead of using a DVD, follow this guide on how to create a bootable Windows 8.1 USB installer and use it to install Windows 8.1. (use the USB 2.0 port on the unit).
Let me know how it goes.
Regards

G510 audio driver installation problem on Windows 8.1

I've just received my brand new Lenovo G510 and installed Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit onto it.
Most of the drivers from the attached CD installed without any problems (though I was quite surprised that no newer versions were available on the Support wrbpage) but I can't install audio driver.
Apparently this series is equipped in either Conexant or Realtek audio chips and the provided setup application is desigend to detect the correct chip and run the appropriate driver installation program.
The problem is that setup is not working for me. All I receive is the notification "This utility can not be used on this machine". Since there are no "orphan" audio devices in the Device Manager, I can't really tell which audio chipset is installed in my machine. I don't want to install both dirvers as it may just cause confilcts.
How can I say which audio chipset is installed and install the correct driver?
Solved!

hi mikolajek,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Under Device manager
You should look for your Audio
Normally it stays under Sound and gaming controller,
And if no driver is installed in shows as High Definition Audio
Right click on it and select Properties
Go to the Details TAB
change the Value to Hardware ID then check the details
ex. PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_051014E4&REV_01
Get the 4 digit after VEN and DEV
Ven is the Vendor and Devi is the Device
Go to PCI database and do a search for the VEN
Then search for the DEV and youll know that device

Problem with AMD and Lenovo G510 Notebook

Hello,
I bought a Lenovo G510 Notebook i7 with both Intel and AMD Radeon 8570 graphic cards and I have to say my (first and only) experience with AMD and Lenovo is being so far totally disgusting.
My problem is that there's no way I can make the computer use the AMD Radeon while playing, I updated the drivers (even following instructions from Lenovo Staff in this forum) and there's no way to do it. I updated it from AMD and Intel webpages and neither works. Right now I have the latest drivers from Lenovo webpage and the computer can't even recognize the AMD graphic card (in Device manager is written as OPAL GT/XL 6604).
I don't know what else to try, I've been trying to look for more solutions in the websites but I have to say they are for me totally a mess and the only thing I got was "update your drivers" once and again. I hope the service is better than the offered in the website.
Diego

Can you tell me what Windows version are you using? And some other information.
For example:
G510
i5-4200M
4GB
500GB
Fresh Windows 8.1 Pro Update 1 x64 (means I did not update but installed fresh after formatting all partitions)
Intel HD 4600 & AMD Radeon HD 8570M
Also post a picture of your Device Manager with Display adapters expanded.

Lenovo G510 Windows 8 Read Only Folders

Hello everyone,
I just bought a new Lenovo G510, and I installed the Windows 8 that was on the partition.
The installation went fine, and everything is in order.
The only problem is that ALL my folders are Set to READ ONLY. Is this something normal for Windows 8 and how can I set it to a different state, since I know that in future that will be a problem?

hi francis17583,
If the G510 system came preloaded with Windows 8, there are two ways on how you can restore the system to factory settings:
Option 1:
- Turn off the machine and press the OneKey Recovery Button
- On the Novo Menu, select System Recovery and follow the screen prompts.
- Link to picture
Option 2:
- Follow this guide on how to create a recovery drive
- Boot from the recovery drive and follow this guide on how to reset the PC.
I recommend Option 1 in case you don't have a flashdrive (8GB or above) but ensure that you have a backup of your important files as the above procedure will wipe the OS drive.

AMD Video Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)
Intel Video Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit)

Lenovo G510 BSOD on Windows 7 after installing RST Driver

Hello,
I was hoping to figure this out without having to post but unfortunately I cannot seem to get around the problem. I purchased my laptop (Lenovo G510) last month and immediately upgraded to a SSD and then downgraded to Windows 7. There have been no problems until I was installing the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver (Link to Driver).
After installing the driver and rebooting I get the BSOD at the main Windows login screen in any of the boot modes (Regular, Safe, Safe with Network, and Safe with Command). The error dump shows that the issue is linked to itaStorF.sys. Normally I would not need this driver installed and I would just use the Windows generic driver but I have decided to replace the ODD with a HDD Caddy with the 1TB HDD that came with the laptop.
I have seen others say that they have used a HDD Caddy with no issues but I get the BSOD error with this driver even before I installed the Caddy. I can install a more up to date driver from Intel but they eject the HDD Caddy when it is detected and they are meant for Windows 8.
I can provide more information if needed as well as error logs. I would greatly appreciate the help from the community! Thanks!
Quick Computer Info:
OS: Windows 7 Professional
SSD: Crucial M550
HDD: Western Digital WD10JPCX
HDDCaddy: Link to Caddy page
Edit:
For some additional information, I have done each of the lenovo diagnostic tests, check disks, and memory tests which all came back as healthy.

The issue seem unrelated to the Instant Client. (Looks like you installed from the "full" Database Client product.)
Anyway, is that Windows 7 64-bit? Then, possibly, the software you installed was 32-bit and the driver shows up in the 32-bit MS ODBC admin tool (in wow64 subsystem, for 32-bit apps).

Lenovo G510 Graphics Cards Driver Problem

Hi!
I just bought the Lenovo G510 Laptop, with an Radeon 8750, and installed Windows 8 64 Bit.
After installing the drivers from the provided CD, I get the following Bugcheck error code in WhoCrashed
0xA0000001 (0x5, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
when rebooting ,or when I try to open the Catalyst Control Center.
Actually the AMD graphics card driver seems to be responsible, as this problem does not occur until I install this driver.
I tried to use the driver provide at the Lenovo support page too (for both Windows 8 and 7), with the same result. The ThinkVantage System Update does not install an AMD graphics driver at all.
Accordding to WhoCrashed atikmdag.sys causes this error.
I would highly appreciate any help!

Hi Aimor,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the Wireless driver is not getting installed in your G510 Laptop, I suggest you to download a fresh copy of the driver from the below mentioned link and while installing the driver right click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator” option to get it installed without any error:
WLAN Driver (Atheros, Broadcom, Realtek) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)
Do post us back if the issue still persists.

D20 Windows Server 2008 R2 Setup Problem / 1x SATA HD / 4x SATA SSD

Hi all,
I've got a D20 Mod. 4155 and want to use beside it's default SATA hard disk four SATA SSD disks for virtual machines. Windows Server 2008 R2 will be the OS with the use of it's Hyper-V functionality.
I have aproblem with detecting the disks in OS setup. All 5 disks are visible in the BIOS setup of the Marvell Controller. it is possible to configure a RAID over the SSD etc., but I don't "see" any disk in OS setup. I tried to load additional drivers in the GUI part of the setup utility, but this didn't worked. I tried with the Marcell SAS driver and the Intel Matrix driver, both found at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/migr-72280.html.
Any suggestions for PC BIOS / Marvell BIOS / OS setup configurations?
Kind Regards, Chrischmi

Go to Solution.

Hi all,
I found the solution on myself. After detecting, that the default disk is a SATA disk (and not SAS), I had the idea to test it on the Intel SATA controller. It was possible to install the machine wit the disk attached to the Intel controller. After setup I went to Device Manager and installed the Marvell driver from Lenovo, switched the disk back to the Marvell controller and booted. Successful. Yeah!
On my way to the solution i had another problem: In the GUI part of Windows setup, I got a 0x80300001 error with the Intel SATA driver from Lenovo. It was not possible to install windows Server on the SATA disk with reason0x80300001. very helpful message, Microsoft! ,-) I decided to use the default Microsoft driver for the Intel SATA controller after a reboot. Setup run well, but ended with a 0x80070017 error and problems copying some (unknown) files. The solution (found after some hours...) was to burn a new Windows Server setup DVD. I don't want to talk about this anymore...

If GTA IV believes the system is under specification even though the computer is powerful enough to run the game with higher settings, the following will fix this problem.
This will work if your problem looks like this: "resource usage 230/60" and you can't change any other setting
Just follow the steps:
Step 1: Create a text file named ‘commandline.txt’ (without the " ")
Step 2: Put the following statement inside it:
i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 (with the -)
i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0 (with the -)
Step 3: Open the main GTAIV folder (C/ program files (86)/ rockstar games/ GTA IV) and copy the commandline.txt file into it.
Step 4: locate the file "GTAIV.exe" (in GTA main folder)
Right click the file and select Properties
Under the shortcut tab, you will see an area that says Target
Modify the Target adding the command line after the last quotation mark (just add the statement you added in commandline.txt)
(remember, i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 / i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0)
It should look something like this:
Make sure to add space between " and -"
I hope This helps, although late cx
