Windows XP Clean Install – What I discovered and the help I need

Windows XP Clean Install – What I discovered and the help I need
I previously had a problem with my Laptop dying randomly you can read about it in the thread entitled Computer dies Randomly (Battery also dead) click to view
Before I realised the solutions, I thought that maybe my Laptop had become infected with a Virus and decided it would be prudent to do a clean install of the Windows XP operating system.
Everything went perfectly and thought a clean install was a good opportunity to download the “XP Service Pack 3” SP3 and did so, it seemed very quiet though and that’s when I realised I had no sound…
I downloaded all of the sound drivers I could find on the Lenovo site for 3000 N100 (I knew from previous experience that the “SOUNDMAX” driver is the only one that actually works with this 3000 N100) in order to install this you have to install the Realtek HD audio driver, but in order to install that you have to install some other Driver/Soft that only works with SP1 or SP2 if you try to install it with SP3 it will say that you don’t need the file as your Service pack is newer than the file you want to install, this is understandable as SP3 is not final as of yet (but it’s good to know).
My next problem was that my extra RAM was not detected, this was fixed by updating the BIOS, after installing all of the System updates, PC Doctor, everything I could find for 3000 N100 I decided to rest, I pushed the Lenovo care button and it did not work, I found a hot key driver and installed it but still the Lenovo care button does not work, previously when I pushed this button it would bring up the Lenovo menu but now it’s just a dead button, Does anyone know how to get this button working again?
I am pretty sure that everything else is working fine now, just that button not working is very annoying, is there a set routing of installs you must do to get everything working, i.e. bios 1st audio 2nd system update 3rd etc...
Please help, I hope I have helped you...

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok first everything works now... except the Lenovo Care button, I just posted the other stuff cause it might help other members, I have searched the forum for an anwser to this problem but there was only one anwser (suggesting to uninstall the driver restart and re-install it) and it did not result in a working Lenovo Care button...
I don't beleive the Lenovo keyboad drivers are in any way related to the Service pack 3 as they do not use the Service pack files, to back this up I also had the same problem when Service Pack 2 was installed...
The Lenovo Care button works fine on Boot up screen to access the rescue and recovery software (So the mechanics of the button are fine) but once Windows XP loads it is just a dead button, I remember it used to open up the Lenovo Care Start bar, I got it working once in the past but I can't remember what I did, I thought someone here might know the anwser...

T430 windows 8 clean install & what utilities?

Hi,
I am going to install a new SSD into my 430 and was thinking about going to Windows 8. Any pointers for the upgrade?
Also what Lenovo utilites are a must that you remommend? Some seem like bloatware to me, but I have not used this machine long enought to evaluate that.
I would apprecate any input.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Warder,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
We understood that your query is about to know the details on driver to be installed after reinstalling the Windows 8 OS to SSD drive. And there is no other option to upgrade, you have to perform clean installation of OS after replacing the drive.
To know which all the driver needs to be install, I suggest you to check with Device Manager option first. In that we can you have to check in which adapter it is showing yellow mark. And depending upon that we can download the driver and install it.
As per the Lenovo we request you to download and install all the latest drivers from the link and including supported application like Power manager, Access communication & Think Vantage application.
Below is the link to enter the downloads page and download application accordingly, please click on "Select Product" then in "QUICK PATH" enter the MTM no. select the exact model.

Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!
Best regards.

UPDATE 4 SOLUTION:
Somehow everything started to work on its own, maybe there was some kind of download on the background of windows, and before formating to windows 8 back, I decided to restart windows few times, and everything got fixed.
Thats my strange solution.

UPDATE 4 SOLUTION:

Thats my strange solution..... At least its working
So I suggest you to do every possible update on windows and 10 do few restarts, there are some background updates that we can't track probably, so let them settle and restart pc.

I am using an Mac PPC version 10.5.8 and I am trying to download the correct version of Flash Player. I did once but I had to install a "Clean Install" of my computer and when finished I had put back the new Flash Player I just installed well every time I try install the new player it is place in my Trash Folder and I can not get Player to work. I did everything I was to install it correctly but it still does not install it correctly. Can some help me. Bob

Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.

Clean install transferred over contact and bookmarks

Here is my situation:
I installed Mountain Lion on top of my active system (Snow Lep, Lion). I then encountered some issues with the new Messages ap and think I made things worst by trying to troubleshoot myself. Then I decided, what the **** so I did a clean install of Mountain Lion. My first question is, when I went into Disk Utility to wipe my HD, the process took a matter of seconds. Its seems to me if I were to wipe clean my HD, this process would take hours, not seconds. Secondly, after I installed a fresh copy of Mountain Lion, my contacts and Safari bookmarks transferred over to this fresh install. I was expecting ALL my data to be wiped clean much like a spanking new system?? One possibility is ICloud which I signed up for prior to the clean install (could ICoud have imported the new bookmarks and contacts?) Could I have messed up and installed a new copy of Mountain Lion on top of the old one like maybe from a partition.
I apoligize for these "basic" type questions but I am not too familiar with this OS and such.
Thanks for any help you may provide.

Just find the way.
I go gues account in my computer so i export bookmarks and email them to myself.
Then i turn off safari syncing in my iphone and macbook air.
Then i import bookmarks that i eamil to myself previously from guest account so they as come from factory.Next i switch safari sync in icloud preferences in computer so it ask me to merge and i accept.
After delete the old bookmarks and leave only the ones i import so it looks as factory i wait a little bit to let icloud sync bookmarks and switch on safari sync in my iphone and yea it show only the ones i import..
So is a way to reset bookmarks in safari but you need swith off icloud sync in all your devices and the choose a master device and switch it on again.
It looks like it merger the data in that master and icloud so you need to delete the one you don't want and then switch on in other device to sync.

Windows 8 fresh install. Explorer crashes and reloads every few minutes?

I have installed Windows 8 Pro x64 as a clean install. Every few minutes the explorer shell will crash and reload. The reliability report monitor is filled with "Windows Explorer has stopped working".
I'm definitely not the only one experiencing this issue. A quick search online shows other people reporting their Windows 8 explorer frequently crashes. Is there a solution?

Hi,
Same problem here for some reason. Tried to view the debug information myself, but I don't understand how to use it.

Clean install of Mountain Lion and permissions issue

I'm doing a clean install of Mountain Lion and after the initial install I noticed that all of my disk volumes (and their contents) showed the owner as "Fetching...." (though I still had access because the "staff" group has read/write access.
Doing a search, I learned that this means that the new system doesn't recognize the user id (UID) of these files/folders.
I know why. In my old system, I set up a second administrative user when I was troubleshooting a Snow Leopard problem, and just started using the new user (and eventually deleted the troublesome one).
So, the UID for my Snow Leopard user (which created all these files and folders on my other volumes, including my Time Machine volume) has UID = 502. The new ML user I set up has UID = 501. That's why when booted into ML all the owners are "Fetching..."
The question is how to fix this. I see three options:
1. Don't worry about it, as I have access. But I have read that having the OS constantly trying to figure out the owner of files can be a drag on system speed
2. Use chown to change all the ownership of all my files on the various volumes
3. Set up a new administrative user on ML (that will presumably have UID=502) and delete the other user (with UID = 501)
[And yes, I did try repairing permissions with Disk Utility, but that doesn't affect volumes other than the boot volume, of course]
Thanks to all.

@macjack...
Thanks for your response. I did exactly what you suggested when I set things up. I installed ML, rebooted, and it of course booted into Setup Assistant. I used SA to migrate. The permissions in the User directory and the boot volume were just fine. It's the other volumes (Time Machine, data volumes, backup volumes, etc.) that have the owner showing "Fetching...." and that's because when I installed ML, the first user setup was assigned UID = 501 while all these files/folders were created by a (Snow Leopard) user with UID = 502.

Can I do a clean install of Lion, onto my Mac Book Pro4,1, that is currently running 10.5.8? I have seen U-tube videos on how to do a clean install to Snow Leopard, and another from SL to Lion, but can zero out my HD, and do a clean install to Lion?

My FCP 10.1 is freezing at "Restore window layout" I am running on mavericks and the layout folder in not in library/applications support/ final cut pro... What do I do ???

Had the same issues. For me, I found unmounting any external drives and relaunching FCPX worked.
Mavericks seems to have some issues with launching Final Cut, so its best to launch and then plug in any external drives - hope that helps.

Windows 8.1 (64) What is contained in the Machiekey folder and what would happen if it was renamed and replaced with an empty folder?

Microsoft support engineer, Mohamed Ameen, suggested I post this question/problem here.
I have a Windows 8.1 (64) PC that has a problem with a phantom or ghost Homegroup that is preventing it from becoming a part of a Homegroup on my home LAN. The Homegroup troubleshooter utility and all of the standard troubleshooting suggestions online have
been of no help.
I found this thread ("http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/homegroup-wont-go-away-ghost-group-on-whole/8a4f464f-e461-47aa-af05-07a4fd4875fd") which suggests replacing the Machinekeys folder, but it has very little
in the way of instructions on how to completely perform the "repair" and/or the risks of causing other OS and program failures.
I have added additional information and screen shots to the thread I started on the Microsoft Community site and rather than repeating all of that I thought it would be easier to include a thread to that discussion: (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-networking/what-is-contained-in-the-machinekeys-folder/d7fb5189-e8c2-4ec8-ba2f-9e4e53905703

Hi,
For this problem, you can try to use Process Monitor the trace when creating HomeGroup on XPS PC, then find the reason of this problem.

I did a clean install of snow Leopard and now my iWork 09 will not work. does anyone one know where I can download the version for snow Leopard?

I did a clean install of Snow Leopard and now when I reloaded iWork 09 from my timemachine it will not open anything. any ideas.

iWork '09 is still available from the likes of Amazon.
Your experience is why I never trusted downloaded versions when there's a physical DVD available.
It may be possible to reactivate with your code, but I can't advise you as to how.

I am on Windows XP. Updated to latest iTunes but it would not install. Tried again and the system hung. I did a restart and iTunes had completely vanished from my system. Tried to do a new install but it won't finalise. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

OK, lets do a complete overhaul to make sure it's working ok.
First to check your Windows system file for any corruption:
Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
type in
sfc /scannow
let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
Restart the computer.
Start iTunes and see if it is ok.
If it doesn't, will have to go through the whole process of uninstalling and installing acccording to the following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
(Referenceinstructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components)
3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks." Error

Hey Im getting the following error when trying to install windows from a USB.
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks."
I installed the windows 8 (64bit) iso using boot camp to a usb. I was able to do this after changing the info.plist to allow me to place the iso on the usb. After I make the partition and start the install, I get the above error. I formatted the partition in the installation but I keep getting this error. I've repreated the entire process but i keep getting this errror and the disk utility says my partition is a Windows NT File System (NTFS) so im not sure what's going on. If you can help me that would be greatly appreciated

I am having the same problem. Windows is trying to install. It identifies the various partitions but says that I cannot install Windows on the Boot Camp partition or any other. I select Drive options (advanced) and Format the Boot Camp drive, but it makes no difference.
This is the Windows error:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer BIOS menu.
I am not sure what Csound1 is suggesting with that post above. There are some involved suggestions over here <https://discussions.apple.com/message/23548999#23548999> about using Disk Utility to delete the Boot Camp partition and create new ones - is that the idea?
