X121e Windows Installation DVD

My x121e is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I want to reinstall the OS once it arrives, does it come with a Windows 7 DVD or installation media to be able to do this?

Hello,
All recent Lenovo ThinkPads that I have seen some with a utility to create the installation media. You should be able to do this with an external USB DVD±RW disc drive and some recordable DVDs.

Windows 7 Install DVD

I have created a Windows 7 Install DVD, however when I place it in my Macbook it says that the disk is empty. But when I put it in my housemates Dell, it read it as an install DVD. Should I just make a new DVD, and if so what are the steps and programs used to ensure that it will be compatible with my Macbook. Thanks!
BTW I used the 64-bit version.

You may have trouble with x64 version. Some have had to reburn at slower speed.
It should have come up with "Select CD Option 1: 2:" - which is one of the problems with Macs that don't officially support x64.
Apple has a list of Macs that support Vista x64.

Installing Windows 7 on my bootcamp partition (mid-2009 mac book pro with mountain lion) My computer won't boot from the Windows 7 Install DVD.

Hello,
I have been trying to install Windows 7 on my macbook pro (mid 2009, MBP53). I have successfully created a bootcamp partition using the assistant. When the computer tries to boot from the windows 7 install dvd, the screen is just black. The dvd spins for a bit, then stops and the computer is just black (no blinking cursor).
Any advice would be very appreciated.
Thanks.

What kind of an install DVD are you using for Windows?
You can use any DVDs that are hardware specific. Only the full non-hardware soecific DVDs work on the Mac.

Windows 8.1 : Windows explorer show DVD drive as local disk

I have windows 8.1. On windows explorer , the DVD-ROM Drive icon is displayed as a Local disk. When I double click on that icon I get a strange error message :
An error occurred while ejecting "*,"
On Device manager , on disk management , everything is ok and the drive has the correct type : DVD-ROM Drive".
What should I do ?

1. Ensure the drives are properly recognized on the BIOS.
2.
Proceed to back your information and do a clean installation of the Operating System using the latest drivers from our website since this seems to be an Operating System instead of a hardware failure.
3. Test with a different DVD driver to narrow the issue properly.
4. Remove the RTC (Real Time Clock) battery and leave it out for 30 minutes. After this
period of time, insert the battery back in and turn the system back on; if it displays POST messages, go into BIOS Setup Utility by pressing <F2> during the boot process. Once in the BIOS setup utility, press <F9> to restore BIOS default
settings. Reset any customized BIOS settings. Clear all DMI event logs, which are located in the Advanced/Event Log Configuration section of the BIOS Setup utility. Press <F10> to save the new settings and reboot the system.

Can't boot from Windows XP Install DVD

A couple months ago I wanted to use Boot Camp for the first time to install Windows XP Professional (SP3) on my iMac8,1, but I ran into a lot of trouble. I got a lot of support from you guys but I ended up scratching the mission because of a problem that nobody could help me with at the time (I sought support on IRC, too). I will adduce the links to the threads regarding the issues that were more or less solved at the end of this post.
Today I decided to make a thread here and hope that this time somebody knows what to do, how to solve the weird problem that I'm having when I try to boot from the Windows XP Install DVD right after I partition the hard drive with Boot Camp Assistant.
So when the iMac restarts, after I have inserted the disc, and tries to boot from it, I randomly get one of the following three possibilities on the screen (and nothing happens after it):

I burned the disc myself, so it's not the original disc from Microsoft. I did try re-burning the .iso file multiple times (both with Disk Utility and with the application called Burn), to no avail. The disc works fine with VirtualBox!
Please let me know if you have a possible solution and I will thank you for it greatly!

How should I go about this? (resetting my system with minimal losses?)

Only thing that comes to mind is did you try multiple types of burn media? Also, did you try burning at the slowest burn speed?

HT5639 after The Boot Camp for Windows 8? DVD Drive Not Recognized or Reading CD/DVD

after i made The Boot Camp Setup for running Microsoft Windows 8? DVD Drive Not Recognized or Reading CD/DVD

thanks for the response
1. Yeah I thought that's a mandatory thing because i need to be able to control the brightness with my keyboard, updated graphics card, boot camp control panel, etc
2. No there's no enable for this because Windows 8 recognizes it as a "disconnected device" and asks me to reconnect the dvd drive to the machine (which it obviously already is).
3. Ive tried those before, also even editing the registry but it didnt work.
It's weird because it never happened before on Snow Leopard » Lion bootcamp driver updates. Just in Mountain Lion

Can't boot from hard disk or from windows 7 recovery dvd

I have a 970A-G46 motherboard.
I can't boot from hard disk or from a windows 7 recovery dvd.
If I move the hard drive to another PC, it boots fine.
If I put the DVD in another PC's dvd drive, it can be accessed.
This machine will boot from an Ubuntu dvd and I can then access the HD directories and the recovery dvd.
What do I need to do?
Help and thanks

"I can't boot from hard disk or from a windows 7 recovery dvd."
What is that DVD from? Is it from a previous computer of some kind? Same question for HDD and the OS on it.

MacbookPro 15" Mid 09 don't read/recognize Windows 7 upgrade DVD installer

I'm using Parallels Desktop 4 for using Vista Home Premium (always worked fine) on my Macbook Pro 15" 2.8Ghz (Mid 2009).
I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7. I bought the Windows 7 Home Premium Family pack (3 licences). I recived the package/software with 2 DVD installers: 32Bit and 64bit versions.
I insert the 32bit DVD installer on my MBPro (using Parallels Desktop 4) (i have the 32bit Windows Vista version), but my MBPro tried to read the DVD installer, but after a few seconds the DVD was ejected. The MBPro didn't recognized the DVD at all! I tried several times and the same happened. The MBPro do not show me any kind of message, just can read the DVD and ejects.
After that, i took the 64bit DVD installer Version. The MBPro recognizes the DVD inmediatly but Parallels Desktop 4 didn't let me to install it due was a "not supported version" (64bit) (my WVista is 32bit).
Why is that? Why my MBPro recognizes the 64Bit DVD Installer and the 32Bit do not?
I did the same precedure with my iMac and works perfect (i already upgraded form Windows Vista to Windows 7) without any single problem! (iMac 3.06Ghz 21.5", 250Gb, Late 2009) (running Paralles Desktop 4, using Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit version).
My MBPro have a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868 optical drive.
My iMac have a HL-DT-ST DVDRW GA11N optical drive.
Is that an issue with the optical drive? or firmware? or Parallels Desktop? or the DVD installer?
Is anybody having trouble with this kind of issue? How did you resolved?
P.D: Sorry for my poor English (i speak spanish)

SP1 has been trouble for some Macs. Don't know so don't ask why. Pre-SP1 then worked fine.
Try Windows 8 Preview.
Some people use VirtualBox, install there, and use VB and windows native tools to burn the DVD.
Once you’ve downloaded the ISO for your Windows edition and bit-ness, you can either burn it to a DVD using Windows 7's built-in DVD burning tool or copy it to a USB drive using Microsoft’s Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool—our guide will help you through it step-by-step.
Because it sounds like even though you used 2x that it is not a good DVD. Or DVD media/brand. Or the Superdrive - which has to be internal on your model unless you're hacking the USB-DVD driver plist.

You could've backed up your iPad prior to the "forced" upgrade which, by the way, you could have cancelled. iTunes doesn't upgrade your iPad, automatically, on its own. You had to click the Upgrade button to initiate the upgrade. You didn't have to do anything with that button. You can just leave it be.
iOS 8 is garbage on iPad 2 and 3 and even though iTunes keeps giving me the Update button option, I continually choose to ignore it.
Ignoring the Upgrade/Update button doesn't affect the normal iTunes/iDevice syncing/backing up operations.
You could've just left that button alone.
When was the last time you backed up your iPad?
While there is no way way to revert to a previous iOS version once you upgrade your iDevices iOS, iTunes saves multiple backups of your iDevice and if you backed up your iPad previously to this latest activity, you should be able to restore your iPad from an older backup that should appear by date when you plug your iDevice into your Mac, was for iTunes to launch and sync your iPad, then cancel the backup in progress and use the Restore function in iTunes to restore your iDevice from another previous backup version date.
If your current version of iTunes doesn't recognize your iPad2 under iOS 8, you need to check the iTunes update feature, in iTunes or in OS X Software Update feature in OS X Preferences panel to see if there is a iTunes update available for OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

Lenovo Thinkpad x121e - windows 10 installation

nightmare trying to find a suitable place to post so apologies if this should be elsewhere. Lenovo Thinkpad x121e - windows 10 installation OK, looks like I boobed and installed windows 10 - having received the lovely invitation from dear old microsoft I assumed that it would be compatible. Unfortunately, my laptop is not at all happy. Screen blinks and goes a little bonkers while loading up programs and makes the computer unusable, although each time it seems to advance a little - now 36 hours in and one time it even showed up the MS blocky interface. What is my best move forwards? A reset? Any help greatly appreciated as I am now minus my laptop.

I had exactly the same problem.I tried to fix it like you using the Lenovo software to no avail.The solution for me was to use "settings" in Windows: Go to Start/Settings/Network & Internet/WiFi and hopefully (as I did) you will find it switched off. Then switching on should find your router and hence switch on your WiFi.

Windows Installation Burning to dvd-r location problem

Laptop: SateLite L455
just over 5 weeks old. Trying to make a installation disk but can't find it any place on the laptop to make it. Bought from Best-Buy. Hard drive is making very loud noise and starting to have hard drive problems and plan to get a new drive this week but like to burn Windows Installation first. I don't feel like buying Windows Installation at best buy when i should be able to burn a copy from my new laptop.

L4500-S5000 is model #
Sloppy. Maybe this one?
