Windows XP on H520g - Please Help

I am an IT technician attempting install a Windows XPPro SP3 in a H520g as the platform for a business application in a customer of mine. I can't upgrade the OS because my customer use DOS based programs, and the cost of upgrading their numerous workstations to Windows 7 would be prohibitive at this moment.
Has anyone installed XP on this machine successfully?
I'd appreciate very much if any of you could guide me about where can I find drivers compatibles with Windows XP for the H520g machine.
I thank you in advance for your time and support.

Hi Dmerces,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to inform you that, as per the information available in our Support Website the supported OS (Operating System) for H520g Desktop Windows 7,8 & 8.1. Hence, I suggest you to right click on the Unknown devices in the Device Manager and select update driver option which will automatically download the compatible driver for the computer. Below is the link to check the supported OS for the computer.
Drivers and software - Lenovo H520g
Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards

  • Windows - No Disk Error - Please help!

    Windows - No Disk Error - Please help!
    Hi,
    I have the following set up:
    * Lenovo T-61p
    * Windows XP Pro, SP 3
    * HP Photosmart 8250 printer (with nothing plugged into the various card readers, and USB slot in the printer)
    I am getting the following error:
    Windows - No Disk
    Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x75CE023C
    0x84C40C84 0x75CE023C
    I have done a lof experimenting and thru process of  elimination, and believe I have determined that this only happens when the HP Photosmart 8250 printer is plugged in to the USB slot of the computer.
    I can stop it from happening by safely removing hardware, and removing the drive that the 8250 creates on your computer when you plug it in.  In my case, this is drive E.  I'm guessing if there was something in the the various card readers, and USB slot in the printer, that's what those would be, but I don't those use those functions of the printer.
    I understand there is more at work than simply the printer, because I did not used to get this error, so some software changed as well, that is scanning all ports, and finding a drive that has no disk, and producing the error.
    A simple google search finds a lot people all over the world having this problem, and are solving it in different ways, because the suspected source is different: Norton, HP, etc.
    I have tried everything I have read, and the only thing that works was my own idea, of manually safely removing the drive the printer creates each time I plug in the printer.
    Anyone every any better, more permanent solutions?  Or know what the real root of the problem is?  What is scanning all the drives and being showing an error message because it found an empty drive?
    Thanks and Happy Holidays/New Year!

    I've been getting the same error on my 4G nano for the past week. I've had my nano for about a month and the first few weeks were fine. Tried it on 2 different computers (Vista and XP) and same problem. Tried it on a 3rd (XP) and it started ok. Problem started coming back after a day.
    I was able to find a quick fix though. I noticed that sometimes the message says something like "iexplore.exe... no disk..." even if I don't even use IE. What I do is end iexplore.exe on task manager before running iTunes and syncing my nano. I don't get the error whenever I do this, but one drawback is that the contents of my nano suddenly pops up in a window - even when disk use is not enabled.
    I've reset/restored my nano dozens and dozens of times to make sure it's clean. Leads me to believe it's a driver issue. Either that or I have a friggin malware problem I can't seem to find.
    I'll be posting updates every now and then. I'm no expert so I'm hoping an Apple expert also steps in to give some input.

    Collect the PDFs you want to link to in your site. Then link to them in
    the Inspector palette just like you'd link to other pages. If you want
    the PDF to open in a new window use target _blank as before.
    What actually happens on a visitors computer however depends on whether
    they have the PDF viewer plugin installed. In that case the PDF will
    display in the browser window. If they don't have it installed, the PDF
    will download to their computer and they'll need to open it manually.

  • Windows vista Error response-PLEASE HELP

    Recently purchased a new computer w/Vista. Problem is that I couldn't transfer my songs from my old computer, so decided to use IGADGET to transfer from my IPOD. Error:retrieving the COM CLASS FACTORY for component w/CLSID. Please help if you have any idea how I can fix the error. I've installed Itunes 7.11 and reinstalled and it keeps happening.

    I don't know about the originator, but I still require assistance. The help link didn't solve my issue, so further help would be welcomed.
    I have Vista Ultimate (came with new computer), with the UAC turned off (it was interfering with Microsoft Money). I get the same popup error as noted before, and I've done the regsvr32 on vbscript.dll multiple times. I'm on an admin account, I've used an admin command window, and I've even tried running the iTunes setup as admin, as well as in compatibility mode as XP SP2.
    I thought maybe my existing iTunes 7.0 install was interfering, so I tried to remove it via Control Panel, and I got the exact same error. So I can't remove what I have and I can't install the upgrade.
    The only good news is that my iPod Photo finally started synching with the computer, if only in manual mode. I can't burn CDs however.
    Assistance appreciated. Thanks.

    Same as, although a new development on this last night, I borrowed a mates USB hub that has it's own mains power supply and for a short time my laptop recognised my IPOD, I obviously thought i had found the solutions as it started to sync at which point the smug smile left my face as i could smell burning plastic. Yep, the usb cable was melting in to the USB hub. so not only won't the sodding thing work properly it is a god **** fire hazard. Luckily our producst that cost hundreds of pounds are supported by friendly and helpful people at Apple!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I did the upgrade to my iTunes yesterday and it did not install correctly. Kept getting same message.  Now cannot download any iTunes without getting windows error 126. Please help.

    Upgraded my itunes yesterday and it failed.  Tried reinstalling and failed again.  Now tried to install several earlier versions and coming up with  windows error 126. Do you have any ideas on how I can fix this?  Please help.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes allways crash and stuck i made some troubleshoots like reinstall again but nothing and my itunes is update and the system is windows vista home premium.Please help me...

    Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes always crash and stuck and i can not sync my device, i dont no whats wrong because the itunes even can not  acess itunes store, still loading waiting for itunes store and nothing.I tryed reinstall itunes but just waste of time.
    My itunes is update, iphone 3gs 4.3.4, system is windows vista home premium.
    Please help me.

    I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
    You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
    When you go to the iTunes download page:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
    After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
    It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
    I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
    The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
    The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.

  • Pavilion dv6-1230us Black Screen after installing Windows 7...Please Help

    Hi,
    I recently installed Windows 7 and everything was working fine until my computer went into hibernation.   Before this, I installed all the drivers and software from the HP website for my computer for Windows 32 bit setup.  After my computer went into hibernation, my computer will not start up in normal mode; rather, it starts in safe mode only.  When its starts in normal mode, the screen just turns black and nothing happens.  The login screen comes up perfectly fine but after I login at startup, the screen just turns black.  Please help, I don't know what else to do whether it is a driver or software issue from the software from the HP site.
    Thanks,

    Finder crashes are often caused by "Google Drive." If it's installed, I suggest you first check for an update. If that doesn't solve the problem, remove it according to the developer's instructions. You may need to start the computer in safe mode to do so. Back up all data before making any changes.
    If you use Google Drive and don't want to remove it, then try deselecting the option in its preferences to "show status icons." According to reports, that may be enough to stop the crashing.
    Similar cloud-data clients such as "Dolly Drive," "iDrive," "Open Drive," "Transporter Desktop," and others can cause the same problem.
