Y410 new install Windows 7 64-bit -- 3 drivers "missing"

Two are "base system device" and one is "unknown device." Not sure what's NOT working, except for one thing so far: speakers (and headphone jack) have no sound even tho the volume sys tray app shows a variable green bar for changes in volume of things I try to play.
Any ideas? Are we just waiting for the release of new drivers from Lenovo?

The other two is the Card reader. just install the Card reader drive for Vista. I'm also figuring out the third one though. =(
Trying Win 7 x64
EDIT:
The third one is caused by Lenovo not supporting a x64 ACPI. Drivers on the lenovo page are usually 32 bit even for Vista.
I googled around just wanted to share my findings.

This one I followed the instruction of the last commenter but didn't complete. So it's seems feasible to apply.
http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/7185-unknown-driver-acpi-vpc.html
This one did the Trick. The 4th commenter "BAROD". Advised trying the x64 Vista Y530 Energy Management Driver. It did removed the warning in devices. But it also change the UI on the Lenovo keys from green to blue mirroring the Y530's key UI. Tested the battery life. It seems ok as mismatched drivers can mean the indicator will show a few minutes instead of hours of battery left. Lol!
**Do this at your own risk though. But, hey Windows 7 is taking a risk already as Y410 isn't officialy supported. =p

Cannot install Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp

I have one of the new iMacs (late 2012) and I can't install Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp. Whenever I try to being the installation using the Boot Camp Assistant, I always get the following message: "Need 64-bit Windows installation USB drive or DVD. Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an USB drive or DVD which contains 64-bit Windows". I have successfully installed 32-bit Windows on my Macbook Pro that is running the same version of Mac OS X and Boot Camp, but I don't know why on this new iMac it doesn't allow me to. Apple's documentation states that I should be able to install either 32-bit and 64-bit without any problem, but this is not the case here. I can't find anything about this problem/error on the Internet either. HELP!!!

Yes, circumstances do change but if Apple is, as they claim to be, serious about seamlessly migrating what is still a large and dominant market share of users from Windows, supporting 32 bit versions is not a nice to have, but a must have.
I don't see why users have to make excuses when there is a clear shortfall of what is promised.
In other discussions, there is talk of an opportunity for Apple to make a significant impact, as Windows 8 has deviated so much from the comfort zone of traditional Windows users. But to make that change, Macs have to support what is still a primarily 32 bit environment in the installed base.
As for the use of VMs, I had a tough time migrating out of Parallels 6 after an upgrade to Mountain Lion broke compatibility so IMHO it is not a long term solution unless you are happy to hand out $50 every 2-3 years just to support the same functionality.
Use Virtual Box, it's free.
32 bit may have a reasonable user base but it's going away fast, if you must use 32 bit Windows and won't use a VM your choice is limited.
Buy a PC, or buy an older Mac.
The rest of your post is speculative and I won't go there.

Error related to EFI system..unable to install windows 7 64-bit on lenovo g580..

Hi,
I have Lenovo g580 which had DOS preinstalled in it {i5, 500GB, 4GB} and initially I had installed Win 7 32-bit on it. At that time, it gave some problem while rebooting 1st time, but i ran repair windows option and everything ran smoothly.
But the problem came when I tried to install windows 7 64-bit on the laptop using a DVD, no matter which drive I select, it does not allow me to go ahead. When I checked the details, I got the error message which is attached here.
Link to image
There is no disk controller option in BIOS, nor is there anything related tto UEFI systems.
i did r&d on uefi systems, but i want to be sure of everything before i go ahead with anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for no help guyz!
but i found a way..so for anybody else out there..here is the solution..
When installing at the partition screen hit Shift+F10.
At the prompt type diskpart and press Enter.
Type list disk (Not the number of the disk you want to use)
Type select disk X where is X is the number of the disk you want to use.
Type clean. This will erase all the data on your system.
Type convert gpt
Now reboot the system with the DVD/USB, and you will see only Unallocated Space. Use that to install the new windows.
Be warned though, this will clear out the partition table on the drive; make sure you have a backup before attempting this if you have important data

Installing windows 7/64 bit

Hello please can you help me I have purchased a HP envy 17-J141NA notebook PC on the understanding from a person from HP that I can install windows 7 / 64 bit on this computer. I have removed the hard drive from the computer and installed a new drive and had a few problems first problem that I had was I got a message at boot up Image did not authenticate . I found that I had to disable secureboot in the bios. Windows started to install until the windows logo appeared and the laptop just hang and would not let me carry on with the install. I do not like windows 8 . Please can you help me I have found out today that I can not return this laptop from the supplier that I purchased from.

11.Once the updates are done, make sure you are booted into Windows and call Microsoft support and explain the issue (doing a clean installation with an upgrade disk.) The issue is very common and not specific to Mac users so they will pass you to Tech support and help you activate your copy of Windows.
Not always. I tried. Easier to reinstall Windows 7 over itself, activated fine. Or just do the legal thing and buy full copy. Mac Pro owners that want dual processor support need Pro or Ultimate (Enterprise also) rather than Home Premium.
I would NOT use Boot Camp 3.1, it causes problems for number of Mac Pro owners, though maybe not all so unclear what/why) but just stay with Boot Camp 3.0x from the Snow Leopard DVD (which can have trouble with AppleHFS)

Install Windows 7 64 bit as only OS on Mac Pro

Ok, I'm hugely disappointed with Snow Leopard development. First you still get stuck with 32 bit kernel since there are no official 64 bit drivers for my printers, scanners, cameras. Second Photoshop CS 3 does not work with it, and no version of Nikon Capture NX works either (apart from it being 32 bit anyway). So my option is to stay with Leopard (with chess as only 64 bit app), or alternatively to go Windows 7 64 bit on my Mac Pro and try to take full advantage of all the hardware I spent thousands of dollars on (since there is 64 bit Photoshop and Capture NX works as well, and there are 64 bit drivers for my peripherals), and the OS can actually use all 32 GB.
So, my question is has anyone successfully installed Windows 7 64 bit as the only OS? Did you have any issues? In particular, are there any issues with DVD ejection, and screen brightness control? Are there official Apple drivers for these devices for Windows 7 64 bit?

You don't get 64-bit software until there is demand, and a need, and the hardware to further that development.
Game developers are finding they can work and compile much more efficiently.
Snow Leopard is a launching point, not a destination. Efficient use of more than 2-4 cores is going to take time.
And Intel is there helping companies and bring out refinements in compilers. Then add 1-2 yrs to actually deploy, plus the time to master those tools, and not everyone will or can.
Adobe built their code on Carbon code foundation - a big mistake - and reached the end of where that takes them. Their CS4 Windows is 64-bit, CS5 for Mac OS will or might be but ground up rework into Cocoa code, however OS X does a lot to help use memory, but if you aren't working with 1-2-3GB files you may not.
Nehalem has a lot more bandwidth, on the fly up clock of cpu. Nvidia GTX 200s also respond dymanic and dramatically to small demands to ram up GPU performance. Even launching a program kicks everything into high gear and you can see that charted with various tools (more easily in W7 than in OS X). And to recover to lower energy and heat as quickly. Going green to cut the costs of running servers and systems.
The Mac Pro 2008 was the first with a full 64-bit Unified EFI (UEFI 2.x). Apple, Intel, Microsoft and other members of EFI Group only officially supported EFI on 64-bit post Vista SP1, which was less than 18 months ago, around the time the 2008 Mac Pro came out. That's pretty good.
Yes, Mac OS uses a PA/E memory addressing.
Microsoft used millions of beta users to help identify bottlenecks in drivers during W7 development. And 100s millions of Vista users along with help of Intel engineers in hardware and software. No reason that won't happen with Snow Leopard eventually.
CUDA and GPGPU / Physix are not new, OpenCL is a new standard and name that may be more open to more types of uses and applications - over time.
OS 9 had trouble with Finder. Funny enough, so has OS X, and now it is suppose to have gotten its own multi-thread makeover - it needed it badly and was/is the source of a lot of problems, lost threads or processes and getting lost. We'll have to see.
I think there is a huge market today for a system built around the Core i7 with 2-4-6 cores and 6-12GB of memory with GTS 250 or above (not the entry level offered last year or the GT120 today).
A lot of people don't want to leave XP which is 32-bit and how old is that? I think they'll like W7, if they invest in new hardware.
Your time frame is not how systems evolve.
What would you do you can't do now? very little is my bet. And when the Mac Pro came out 3 yrs ago, a lot of drivers broke and had to be re-engineered and vendors prefer evolution over revolution. The 2008 Mac Pro early on had a number of hardware issues dealing with power management. Happens every step of the way.
Your Mac will probably still serve your needs, whether in 10.6.9 or 10.7 or Win7 and beyond.

How to install windows 7 32 bit virtual machine on windows 7 64 bit

Wondering what would be involved in installing windows 7 32 bit as a virtual machine on a windows 7 64 bit laptop, trying to continue to use software that only has 32 bit drivers to talk to specialized hardware before scrapping the hardware. Drivers
are not updateable due to the company no longer exist. Being forced to do this since I am using windows XP to currently do this and will have to stop using XP by 01Apr2014.
thanks for any help

If it's special hardware, your chances are small for it to work in a
virtual machine. Some USB devices might work, but Virtual PC can't see
the real hardware on the host.

The Mac SuperDrive built into your Mac is the Optical drive.
1. Insert your Windows DVD in Optical drive. Disconnect any external storage.
2. Insert a USB2 Flash drive. This will be used to hold the BC drivers.
3. Start BCA. Check the options to download software and Install Windows. You do not need to download Windows. The BCA will download the BC drivers to the USB.
4. Partition your drive.
5. You can see the Windows installer screens at https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#/bcmp173b3bf2.

I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition. I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?

No easy fix for a few reasons:
1) Bootcamp requires a hybrid MBR for the partition table. That is: both an MBR and a GPT partition table at the same time with the GPT one having all partitions and the MBR one having only the ones that are relevant, but at most 4 of them (including the protective partition and the Macintosh HD one). Which leads us to:
2) The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
I am working on a small EFI app that can boot Windows in EFI mode on a Mac and that would mean that you can go GPT only on your system. The progress of the app is slow due to the nature of EFI and for now requires that you do an unattended Windows install with slipstreamed graphics drivers, but we are adding VGA loading on top of EFI quite soon after the rest of the app stabilises. The status of the app is documented at:
Win7 x64 booting natively via EFI (no bios emulation)
Windows does actually successfully boot in EFI mode on most Macs (anything with a 64bit EFI should work), but does not have graphics support even if you load the driver due to the VGA pci registers not being set by the firmware. Furthermore, in Setup and Safe Mode, Windows uses VGA instead of GOP which is a failure by design since VGA is a BIOS standard and not really compatible without hacks with EFI. Other EFI implementations also add VGA compatibility at a high cost to the firmware complexity for the VGA cards available on the market that don't actually contain anything in their ROM except the VGA BIOS.
My recomendations:
1) Install on a second smaller hard-drive; or
2) Wait for the EFI app to come out officially and use that to boot Windows Vista SP1 x64 and Windows 7 x64 (RTM and SP1) in the native EFI mode.
3) Wait for Windows 8 which supports VGA-less booting acording to the AMD presentation at UEFI Plugfest.

Warning: Don't install Windows 7 64-bit on Older MacBook Pros

I totally hosed my machine by installing Windows 7 64 bit on a MacBook Pro that Apple has not deemed to be okay with running Snow Leopard in 64-bit. I have a Core 2 Due, which is fully 64-bit. Windows 7 64-bit runs perfectly on a MacBook Pro, but Apple's Snow Leopard can only handle 32-bits. Crazy.
I'm guessing Windows 7 updated the MacBook Pro's EFI to 64 bit, which since my Firmware hasn't been updated, can't recognize or load. Some I'm stuck.
Does anyone know how to return a 64 bit efi back to its original 32 bit version? I've been forced to reinstall Snow Leopard, hopefully the Disk Image I created will be able to bring back my data, otherwise I'm screwed and really ******.

I don't think Windows 7 would normally modify your Guid Partition Table, but Boot Camp
(particularly the later versions) is rapidly gaining a nasty reputation for hosing partition maps.
Test Disk might could help:
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
You will need to boot it in firewire mode (if supported) or from an external clone.
I hope your disk image is good. Rule of thumb for OS Disk Images:
Make them sparseimage or sparsebundle, do not compress, and last but not least;
Make 2 of them. Just some friendly advice.
I have yet to see anyone repair a defective, compressed, UDIF disk image. I have
successfully repaired sparse UDSP/UDSB images using either disk utility and/or Disk Warrior
and/or iPartition or some combination of the three.
I'm not against disk images, to the contrary, I use them almost exclusively for backup lately.
I mount them, then place a clone or data on them using Carbon Copy Cloner or Chronosync.
Of course I only use UDSP/UDSB uncompressed images.

Installing Windows 7 64-bit - DVD won't boot

I recently downloaded the 64-bit version of Windows 7 from my school's MSDNAA page and burnt the ISO to a DVD. I had XP on a dual-boot setup to actually get the download, so I deleted the partition and decided to start fresh for Windows 7. When I went through the boot camp assistant it wouldn't boot from the DVD. If I use a program like rEFIt I can see the 'bootmgr.efi' as a volume to boot from, but when selected it gives me the error "Unsupported while loading bootmgr.efi". Has anyone else come across anything like this? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey,
I had problems when trying to install Windows 7 64-bit from a disk burned from an iso.
If you still have the iso file follow the instructions on this page - http://www.gopulls.com/blog/2009.08.26/install-windows-7-x64-on-a-mac-beat-the-s elect-cd-rom-boot-type-error/
or this page - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2372797&tstart=45
Apparently the issue is something to do with the fact that the install disk has two boot sectors instead of one...this thread explains it better - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1867336
Hopefully it will work for you as it did for me!

Want to use Premiere Elements 4 or newer with Windows Vista 64 bit??

We bought a new pc with Windows Vista 64 bit - but are now having problems using my Photoshop Elements6 and Premiere Elements 4 with our new pc. it says on the box and on the web - that it is compatible with Vista - so why isn't it working for us? Do i need to buy something else - and if so what?

I am not sure completely about Photoshop Elements - but my main issue is with Premiere Elements....i need to find a program that will work so i can work with all my videos. Trying to find out why it doesn't work or how to get it to work.

Not using Boot Camp, but you should be able to using virtualization software such as Parallels to run Windows concurrently with OS X.

I have an iMac with mountain lion 10.8.3 with boot camp 5.0.2 .i installed windows 7 -64 bit with boot camp but the boot camp didn't install drivers for windows please guide me for trouble shooting .

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

Can I install Windows 7 64-bit on my mid-2007 dual quad core "Clovertown"?

Hi all,
I want dearly to install Windows 7 64-bit on my MacPro, but the only online compatibility information says bootcamp 3.1 for 64-bit works with "early 2008" Macs and not "mid-2006" Macs. I'm stuck in between, for I purchased a mid-2007 MacPro with dual quad core Clovertown processors, which are 64-bit. I'm unsure though if I will run into problems trying to use Bootcamp 3.1 in this case (I have Snow Leopard as well). I've called Apple support several times and they basically say they are not sure, but don't see why it wouldn't work. Any thoughts from the group?
Cheers,
Ben
