X230 downgrade to 7 issues

Hi,
We bought 3 brand new X230 with Windows8 Preinstalled, we needed to downgrade the system to windows 7.
The problem is that these Notebooks comes with no DVD reader even in the Docking Station......I installed Windows 7 cause we needed to built  them urgently with a Windows 7 and an external DVD reader,
I after installed all Lenovo Thinkadvantage software and i built a Recovery media using "Lenovo Rescue and Recovery". 
I tryed to use it on the other 2 Laptop with still Win8 on it but i get the error "product recovery function has been removed from this system"
What's the best way to built a DVD Recovery media? And what did I do wrong?
Thanks in advance

No battery problem on my iPhone with iOS 7.1
You can't downgrade and solving your problem doesn't require it.
Check your current iPhone settings to see if they have changed from your settings prior to the update, Cellular Data, LTE, Bluetooth, Push Notifications, Location Services, etc.
Sometimes a simple reset can stop a hung process which is eating battery.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

  • T420 4178 XP32 downgrade HHD slowness issue

    Hi everyone , i just recieved my brand new T420 and i need a few advices please.
    I have downgraded my 420 4178 to win xp 32 and my 500  gb 7200 rpm sata drive is slow. [hitachi hts72755]
    When i copy a 300mo folder from my desktop to my desktop it takes 2 min
    When i copy the same folder from usb Flash drive1 to my desktop it takes 2 min too.
    But when i copy the same folder from flash usb drive1 to usb flash drive 2 its fast and fine. Same results with usb hdd.
    Its the same for software/archive reading from internal hard driv,e its soo slow, but extratring a rar archive on a flash drive works fine.
    I ve tryed all the drivers provided by lenovo support, installed the net framwork 3.5 sp1 made a few installation with XP1 PRO32 and XP3 PRO 32 , with sata mode and compatybility mode [all clean install with AHCI and ISATOR driver included in the win cds] even tryed a windows xp family french spd2 lol. Everything is fine in the device manager. but it keep slowing.
    IThen  tryed the same tests just after a fresh install with no drivers at all and its still slow, in both sata and compat mode.
    The lenovo pass the hd tune bench with success  and the lenovo hard drive checking tool too. I will upload screen shoots soon since my t420 is actually formatting...
    The only weird thing is, under hdd tune the blue curve keep hitting the ground to 1.5 mo for the minimum, and it make it 6 or 7 time for a bench.
    I did not test this on windows 7 since i formatted it directly at the exit of the box , what a mistake.
    Checked if windows did not disable the DMA to PIO or something , ive deleted a few registry entry like MasterIdDataCheckSum” and “SlaveIdDataCheckSum” and trhe issue keeps occuring.
    see last post here on this page
    http://www.pommepause.com/blog/2009/11/fix-a-suddenly-very-slow-sata-hard-drive-problem/
    I dont know where to search for now,  trying to find a HDD firmware for [hitachi hts72755] with no success. 
    Even a test with linux, the hard drive is formatted but the software installer crash after it. LOL.
    I dont own any Seven installer anymore and the recovery partition have been deleted.
    I know these little t420 usually works fine with xp 32. but why not this one?  ;]
    Thank you all for your advices, thanks.
    Solved!

    I haven't been able to find specs on that drive.  If it's an Advanced Format drive (with 4k-byte sectors) it will perform very poorly - even though it can do 512-byte sector emulation, or maybe more accurately because of the emulation - unless the partitions are properly aligned.
    You might try running the Hitachi alignment tool:  http://www.hitachigst.com/internal-drives/advanced-format-drives

  • Thinkpad X220 X230 wake from sleep issues??

    I am looking to buy either an X220 or X230 Thinkpad laptop and have been reading the forums here for information about wake from sleep issues for these two machines. I have found a lot on the X220 - seems to be a common problem, so I am now thinking that isn't going to be my choice.
    My questions for those who may have experienced this with an X230:
    -is the wake from sleep a common issue with the X230 laptop?
    -is this more of a SSD issue than a regular HHD?
    -is this related to the amount of RAM installed?
    -is this more of a Win 7 issue? If so, any version that is more susceptible?
    I had an HP laptop that finally was unusable due to this issue and want to avoid that with a new laptop. I really like the features and size of the x230 - and that I can still get Win 7.
    Any input on how often the X230 has this type of issue - and any solutions that have worked - would be greatly appreciated, as I really am reluctant to have history repeated with this wake from sleep issue.
    Thanks!
    HL

    I've got a similar problem. For years, and through many OS & security updates, before going to bed I've been setting both Energy Saver settings to 3 minutes and then rebooting. The computer slept nicely until I hit "Return" in the morning. Lately hitting Return only wakes it up after the first night, the second reboot reacts in a couple of ways:
    1. The computer won't sleep, but the USB shuts off.
    2. The following morning the computer wakes up but the USB and the monitor doesn't.
    The only way to deal with this is to hold the power button down until the machine shuts down. Clearly, something is not right. The Mac needs to be shut down after only one reboot. If it's not shut down it won't sleep.

  • X230 sudden shut down issue

    Recently bought an X230 and realized that is going to sleep at what I thought was a random time and I so I tried messing with the timmer settings. Then I realized that its not a random time, it goes to sleep/suspend whenever its plugged in to AC power and I ever so lightly move the AC plug on the back of the laptop. If I knock the plug, tap the plug, and even when I unplug it sometimes it goes right to sleep/suspend and I have to start it up again.
    What in the world?
    Anyone else experiecne anything like this?
    Thanks in advance!

    (1) what version of Windows are you using (7, 8, 8.1)
    (2) is the laptop still under warranty? check here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-service/warranty-status/default.page
    (3) did you buy it new or used?
    (4) have you updated to the latest BIOS version? (2.58 as of 4/22/2014) available here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS029683

  • Leopard downgrade to Tiger issues

    Hi guys
    what a difference a day makes ..... I awoke this morning with a fully operating OSX 10.5.2 system when I found out yet another audio production application isn't supported with Leopard - I had to bite the bullet as music production is my living and I just could'nt survive any longer - I attempted a downgrade to Tiger with my original macbook pro discs
    I started with an Archive and install which failed - giving me the message " OSX can;t be installed on this volume" - after reading up online I found out that a disc erase was necessary which meant i needed to back up everything - i could'nt do a propper block copy so had to just drag and drop everything - nearly a 100 gig worth of files - talk about time consuming.
    I then repartitioned and erased the MBP hard drive and installed Tiger successfully. I then had the gruelling task of dragging all my files back into there designated folders etc with much hassle.
    Anyway my problem now is that for one the Mac Mail application won't open at all - i understand I'm going to have to put all my settings back in but at the moment it simply starts to open when i click on the icon and closes straight away with the application has unexpectedly closed message - it does it every time . Any clues?
    Troy

    Hi there
    yes it has definately been a headache downgrading but to be honest for me personally totally worth it.
    I started by using my original instal CDs and the computer just stopped halfway through the installation telling me OSX cant be installed on this machine" and then that was that - no working operating system and a 100 gig of data I had to try and salvage - 18 hours later I'm almost back to where I started with Leopard running, backing up my data then doing a complete re-partition, erase and clean install.
    I have spent 48 hours getting my system back up and running the way I need it to in Tiger- I downgraded because there was no other way of using my Pro Tools software and I need to finish some recording projects but as the previous post mentions I would only down grade as a last resort as it is very much not like upgrading - I had to completely back all my data and re install certain software, re enter serial codes and licences - add all my music and movies back into their designated folders - it was a crazy couple of days with some late nights - my wife already thinks I can't be without my mac and now shes convinced!!!
    So if its something you're thinking about - I understand your pain and please be aware whatever you going to do - whats the golden rule? Back-up , Back-up , Back- up!!!!

  • X230 battery charging weird issue+Win 8 never shut down

    When I charge my battery, sometimes the laptop automatically sleeps muitiple times and my Fn+F4 stop working at the same time. I have a 9 cell battery that used to run between 8 to 10 hours, now it only last less than 6 hours. I just did a battery guage reset and it told me the battery can maintain 23% of original fully charge capacity and I only have this laptop a little over one year. My system suddenly can't shut down at all unless I removed the battery. It always restarts no matter what method I used. I have researched a few articles and changed a few setting in my laptop, None of them works. 

    Anyone? Could be a motherboard issue too in my opinion...????

  • How can I revert to 10.4.9 from 10.4.10

    I use Dolbe Ditigal Edition for work and ever since I updated from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10 it crashes every time I try to open a file.
    When I look at the system requierments on the adobe page,
    http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/systemreqs/
    it says it does not support 10.5. I obviously do not have 10.5 but it doesn't say 10.4.x.
    So can anyone help me get back to 10.4.9?????
    Thanks
    Daniel

    daniel:
    The specs listed in the page you linked are minimum system requirements. That means that higher should be ok, unless specifically noted to the contrary. I would contact Adobe and check that out before deciding to downgrade your OS installation.
    I suggest that your issue might be elsewhere in your installation. For example, 10.4.10 it crashes every time I try to open a file. may be related something like the .plist or elsewhere in the system. Take a look at Dr. Smoke's FAQ Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch, even if this is the only application affected. There may be suggestions there that may be helpful to you.
    My point is that if you downgrade and the issue is elsewhere, you may still have the same issue (even though it did not happen before).
    Please post back with further questions or comments.
    Good luck.

  • After update udev mounts all partitions automatically (but shoudn`t)

    Here goes: after updating udev from 167-2 to 168-1, it started mounting all partition at boot. No rules (the list and the rules are the default ones) seem to include this, and google said automounting MUST be set up by user.
    Downgrading fixes the issue, but I try to keep the system up to date, so this is not an option. Also I do not want to disable udisk mounting by polkit, since I want to keep the option of mounting them via KDE.
    Can anyone help please?

  • Where to buy adobe web premium cs4 business license

    where to buy adobe web premium cs4 business license

    Hi Jiwaluka,
        You cannot purchase Web Premium CS4 anymore! Shocked? Then here is a convincing answer for you.. :
    Since you want to purchase a Volume Licensing, then you can purchase the current version which is CS6 and "Downgrade" to CS4. This Downgrade is available Only with Volume Licensing and doesn't come with Retail version. You can purchase the Volume Licensing of CS6 over Adobe Licensing site Or from a Reseller and contact Adobe Chat support or Phone support to request for a Downgrade.
    Adobe issues only the serial number for CS4 after downgrade but doesn't not issue the download/box for that product. Hence before requesting for Downgrade you need to arrange the media of CS4 yourself. You can go to the below site to check if the required product is available for Download Link/ Replacement Box.
    http://volumelicensing.adobe.com/store?Action=DisplayCategoryProductListPage&SiteID=adbevl us&Locale=en_US&categoryID=11612900
    If it is not available in the above link, you can contact Adobe's authorized reseller to check with them if the media is available.
    Once you purchase CS6 Full version and the media for CS4, you can contact Adobe Support to request for Downgrade. Usually they would ask for these queries, hence keep these information available when you contact them:
    1. Downgrade Product name, version, platform and Language
    2. Reason for Downgrade
    3. End-User ID or Deploy-to ID(You will come to know these anonymous words when you purchase any Volume Licensing product)
    4. Order number for CS6 and the Replacement media for CS4.
    With all these information, contact Adobe Chat support, the issue should be resolved in your First contact if possible.
    Regards,
    Jairaj

  • New libpurple causes an error in ICQ proto with Finch, maybe Pidgin

    I've updated system yesterday.
    Got this error: Invalid DevId while connecting to login.icq.com
    Error ocurs in finch and pidgin.
    I've downgraded libpurple and issue turned to be fixed.

    ICQ did update something, and some developer keys became invalid (the ones used by Adium, Finch and Minbif but not the one used by Pidgin).  See http://trac.adium.im/ticket/15244 for more info.  I patched libpurple so it would always use the official client's DevID, which fixes the issue: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49803

  • Using Rufus to create bootable USB Drives for Cisco ISE 3495 upgrade

    I will give a try in the lab but I just wanted to know if somebody else tried this option before.

    Firstable I have to said that I received a brand new 3495 Cisco ISE with version 1.3.0.876 already installed on it BUT my deployment is running 1.2.1.198 patch 3 so I had to downgrade that box.
    Hi Saurav, using Rufus did NOT work. I got an installation error so I found that using DAEMON TOOL Lite (trial version), I created a virtual DVD drive on my Win 7 Laptop which pointed to the ISO for version 1.2.1.198. Then I could make the downgrade with no issues. This is a Cisco Appliance not VM.
    I think the procedure indicated by cisco in the following link is INCOMPLETE:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/1-2/installation_guide/ise_ig.pdf
    I will post some additional screenshots required on that link when you are using CIMC and upgrading/downgrading the ISE using External/Virtual DVD.
    Important to say that I found this mechanism using Virtual DVD the easiest one instead of the bootable flash drive.

  • CTIOS 8.5(2) Agent Desktop fails to start - file not found exception

    I can run the CTIOS 8.0(1) Agent Desktop OK against my 8.5(2) system, but when I install 8.5(2) SR on the client machine (running XP SP3), the app will not start. (Actually trace shows it starts a little bit but debugging doesn't point out the problem).
    It pops up a Windows Message wanting to send a report to Microsoft (yeah, we know where that goes) and I can see it say something about a file not found exception.
    I uninstall CTIOS 8.5(2) and it works perfectly.
    Makes you wonder how this passed QC testing. I have tried on two different machines.
    Anyone have the workaround that establishes the file it's looking for?
    Regards,
    Geoff

    I still have my TAC case open but I also have a workaround that seems to work.  As Chad described above he had a machine that the 8.5.2 upgrade originally did not launch on but then magically started working on.  I also came across that case. Once I had one working machine I could upgrade it and downgrade successfully without issues.   Seeing that the 8.5.2 installer examines the system to be upgraded I figured it's checking the registry and/or the installation files. I then did the following:
    Working system
    1) Downgrade working 8.5.2 system to 8.0.1
    2) Export the Cisco Systems Inc key from this 8.0.1 system
    3) Copy the CTIOS Client and CTIOS Silent Monitor directories for the 8.0.1 system
    Non working System
    4) Stop the CTIOS Silent Monitor system
    5) Delete the Cisco System Inc key from the reg
    6) Import the Cisco Systems Inc key from the working system
    7) delete the existing CTIOS Client and CTIOS Silent Monitor directories
    8) Copy in the CTIOS Client and CTIOS Silent Monitor directories from the working system
    9) Run the 8.5.2 installer
    Reboot - and run the agent/supervisor desktop
    I did this on several test machines and it worked every time.  I have upgraded about 5-6 supervisors and they all say it's working fine as well.

  • 8.1 Mini Player drops searches

    Just upgraded to 8.1 for windows. When I do a basic search in my music library (say for an artist) and then start playing and put iTunes in Mini Player mode, after a couple of tracks, it drops the search. It especially does this when I jump back out of mini player.
    Anyone else see this? Any way to downgrade?

    Same issue here. I know I've done this in the past without issue so it must be an 8.1 issue.
    I can do a search in the library, play with shuffle on and press "next" hundreds of times never leaving the search results. But after switching to mini mode and pressing "next" only a few times iTunes plays random songs from the library which no longer fit under the searched term(s). After restoring the iTunes window I can see that the search field has been cleared.
    Hope they fix this in an update soon.
