X220 device recognitio​n and driver installati​on for Windows XP

hello all...i'm a newbie and am in a bind
we bought x220's (type 4287 2VU) with windows 7 installed.  Our software application will not run on 7 nor in XP compatibility mode as we found out.  We decided to create a partition and install XP Pro which we were able to do.  XP does not recognize most of the devices like audio, wireless, bluetooth, monitor, LAN, touchpad and more.  I have tried the directions in the Useres Guide but cannot get SP to recognize things to install drivers.  Can someone help me out with what i am missing? 
Lenovo is not helping as they will not assist nor support an XP downgrade at this time.  We used a standard XP Pro SP2 CD to install and license and then installed SP3.
I have 3 days to fix things.  THanks in advance.

If you created a partition and did not destroy the original Win 7 partition and have "Dual" boot, boot from window 7 and you can download the driver from: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p​age?LegacyDocID=MIGR-77016
The same driver works for both Windows 7 and XP, and from here you can go the support site and download the balance of drivers, otherwise find a friend who will download the driver to fa lash drive for you.  Some libraries will let you do this too.

  • How to disable drive letter assignment for Windows 7 64 bit

    Hi everybody,
    Currently, I have a problem that need your help for my company
    I received a new request from my boss, that is disable USB removeable storage on Windows 7 64 bit
    I found out and apply some solutions from internet but it cannot be solved
    In some solutions, I pay attention to a good one: Disable drive letter assignment for Windows 7 64 bit
    I think it may solve my problem. But how to do it??? I need your help from all of you
    Thanks for your support!!!!

    Hi,
    Let's verify your issue. Did you want to disable USB storage device?
    If yes, try this:
    1. If you have not ever already done so, you must connect a USB storage device
    to the computer now, and wait until Windows installs it and displays it in the Computer window with an assigned drive letter, then
    disconnect it.
    2. Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog, type
    regedit, and press Enter.
    3. If prompted by UAC, then click on Yes.
    4. In Registry Editor, navigate to the location below:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\USBSTOR
    5. In the right pane of USBSTOR, double click on Start to modify it.
    6. Type in 4, click on OK.
    7. Close Registry Editor windows.

  • Rescue and Recovery 4.3 for Windows 7, installation

    Hello,
    I purchased my system June 16, 2009 with Vista downgraded to XP Pro so I was not able to purchase a upgrade disk from Lenovo.
    This week I purchased the Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium upgrade package at a local store.
    I did the upgrade (clean install) Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium on my ThinkPad T400 type 2764-CTO. Also successfully installed all Win 7 64 bit ThinkVantage software with System Update 4.
    I downloaded Rescue and Recovery 4.3 for Windows 7
    The documentation for the installation of R&R 4.3 is difficult to comprehend and I could not find a post on this board that deals with my topic.
    The recommended procedure before installing Rescue and Recovery on computers running the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 is:
    you must download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (x64) SP1.
    That was done with no problems!
    To make the Rescue and Recovery program work with Sysprepbackup in the Windows 7 operating system, you must download and install the Sysprepbackup accessory package.
    The Sysprepbackup operation changes in the Windows 7 operating system because a new version of Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) is built in the Windows 7 operating system. When you run the System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) and use the /generalize option, the Sysprep operation disables Windows RE by removing the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) entry to the Rescue and Recovery Pre Desktop Area (PDA). To make the Rescue and Recovery program work with Sysprepbackup in the Windows 7 operating system, you must download and install the Sysprepbackup accessory package.
    and here starts my problem installing the package!
    Instruction:
    To install the accessory package in the Windows 7 operating system and take a Sysprepbackup on a USB hard disk drive, do the following:
    Type the following commands to start the Sysprepbackup process using administrative privileges: cd "\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery" rrcmd sysprepbackup location=U name="sysprep backup" The "...run sysprep now..." message displays. Note: Before you take a Sysprep backup on the USB hard disk drive, make sure that there is at least one backup on your local hard disk drive.
    Go to the C:\Windows\Systme32\Sysprep directory and launch the sysprep.exe file. The System Preparation Tool window opens.
    Be sure to select Quit from the Shutdown Options drop-down list box. Click OK to save the setting. The Sysprep process begins.
    When the Sysprep process is completed, run the msi file that you downloaded using administrative privileges. Wait until the package is successfully installed.
    Restart your system. Then, it will automatically boot to the PDA to continue with the Sysprepbackup process on the USB hard disk drive. For the detailed parameters about the restore operation commands using RRCMD, refer to the Rescue and Recovery 4.3 Deployment Guide. Software versions to use with this release.
    3.At the end Install the Rescue and Recovery 4.3 package.
    Ok that should be simple to do.
    What is "Sysprepbackup" and do I need to follow the installation procedure above to be able to install and run Rescue and Recovery 4.3 for Windows 7. I dont think I need to or want to do a "Sysprepbackup on a USB hard disk drive". or may be I will when I understand what it is.
    Can I simply install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (x64) SP1 and  the  the Rescue and Recovery 4.3 package.
    Thank you
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I installed Win 7 Pro 64 on my T400, ran TVSU and installed R&R 4.3. Fortunately, I didn't read those instructions first, or I might not have done it
    Have you tried just installing R&R? If it needs anything else, it should ask for it during the install. IIRC, it does require the VCC+ package.

  • Using NIC Teaming and a virtual switch for Windows Server 2012 host networking and Hyper-V.

    Using NIC Teaming and a virtual switch for Windows Server 2012 host networking!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mOuoIWzmdE
    Hi thanks for reading. Now I may well have my terminology incorrect here so I will try to explain  as best I can and apologies from the start.
    It’s a bit of both Hyper-v and Server 2012R2. 
    I am setting up a lab with Server 2012 R2. I have several physical network cards that I have teamed called “HostSwitchTeam” from those I have made several Virtual Network Adaptors such as below
    examples.
    New-VMSwitch "MgmtSwitch" -MinimumBandwidthMode weight -NetAdaptername "HostSwitchTeam" -AllowManagement $false
    Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name "Vswitch" -SwitchName "MgmtSwitch"
    Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name "Cluster" -SwitchName "MgmtSwitch"
    When I install Hyper-V and it comes to adding a virtual switch during installation it only shows the individual physical network cards and the
    HostSwitchTeam for selection.  When installed it shows the Microsoft Network Multiplexor Driver as the only option. 
    Is this correct or how does one use the Vswitch made above and incorporate into the Hyper-V so a weight can be put against it.
    Still trying to get my head around Vswitches,VMNetworkadapters etc so somewhat confused as to the way forward at this time so I may have missed the plot altogether!
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Paul

    Hi P.J.E,
    >>I have teams so a bit confused as to the adapter bindings and if the teams need to be added or just the vEthernet Nics?.
    Nic 1,2 
    HostVMSwitchTeam
    Nic 3,4,5
             HostMgmtSwitchTeam
    >>The adapter Binding settings are:
    HostMgmtSwitchTeam
    V-Curric
    Nic 3
    Nic 4
    Nic 5
    V-Livemigration
    HostVMSwitch
    Nic 1
    Nic 2
    V-iSCSI
    V-HeartBeat
    Based on my understanding of the description , "HostMgmtSwitchTeam and
    HostVMSwitch " are teamed NIC .
    You can think of them as two physical NICs (do not use NIC 1,2,3,4,5 any more , there are just two NICs "HostMgmtSwitchTeam and
    HostVMSwitch").
    V-Curric,
    V-Livemigration , V-iSCSI ,
    V-HeartBeat are just VNICs of host  (you can change their name then check if the virtual switch name will be changed )

  • HT2292 My iphone is described as iPhone 4s on the back, but the model number on the back is A1332. IThe device cannot be recognised on by itunes for windows. any suggestions?

    My iphone is described as iPhone 4s on the back, but the model number on the back is A1332. IThe device cannot be recognised on by itunes for windows. any suggestions?

    Any chance someone had it repaired somewhere (i.e. not by Apple) - maybe had the back glass replaced  by a 3rd party shop at sometime?
    Dose the phone have siri (iPhone 4 would not)? Does the camera have face recognition and panoramo (again, iPhone 4 would not)?
    If everything else checks out as iPhone 4s, then I'd guess the back glass was damaged and someone got it replaced.
    In order to get it recognized by iTunes, you may need to plug it in and force it into recovery mode, see
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and then restore it as a new device.

  • Error in Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Hello Everyone,
    I am a regular user of I-tunes but recently i dont know why but I got some error in Launching I-tunes. So as recomonded by "Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7" section. I started removing the products. But after removing Quick time, I tried to remove Apple Software Update but while uninstalling it gave error that "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." and the uninstall rollbacks.
    Please send me a feasible solution to this problem.
    Thank You.

    Uninstalling the iCloud control panel should allow you to do that folder deletion.

    And I can't execute runUnInstaller.sh too becasu same error messages in logs/cli/error.log file.
    Both error outputs same message "org/apache/xerces/utils/Base64" in log files, so I think CLASSPATH is wrong.
    In runUninstaller.sh, below jar file name are written -classpath arguments.
    /usr/share/lib/mps/jss3.jar
    /usr/sfw/share/lib/xerces-200.jar
    These Are settings correct?
    If these settings are wrong, resync is set by same wrong settings in binary code?
    Please tell me how to resync and to uninstall Identity Synchronization for Windows 1.0.

    I mistakes log file name.
    I wrote:
    And I can't execute runUnInstaller.sh too becasu same error messages in logs/cli/error.log file.But runUnsitaller.sh outputs to /var/sadm/install/logs/Uninstall-xxxxxxx.log.
    logs/cli directory is where idsync command outpus error.log and audit.log.
    Sorry.
