Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

You still have some options :

- try the option for phone activation
- see if there is an option where you can speak with someone for activation

- order the correct cds from Lenovo
- buy a new windows 7 retail cd

- install some linux distribution. People seem to like Ubuntu a lot.

- donate it to charity

If it gets windows updates from MS it has been done, if not in 30 days or so you'll be locked out again. MS has tech support I believe, email or IM.

When it said it was invalid did it give you a phone number. I've had to call in more than once when reformatting OEM machines.

If you Meam MicroSoft, yes, i'm connected express for updates.

Maybe you're right will see, i downloaded the WIN7ISO from here .

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

Hi guys: i´m happy to say that my Lenovo is up and running,but it's strange that so far i was not asked the Key and i allready did some downloads from Microsoft windows site

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

From anand a reply to your post

http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?

Product Model: 3134C6U



I usually start with chipset, then video, audio, network (sometimes needed first to get any networking at all), any random card readers and other stuff.



Sometimes i like to just unzip the installer too, and then go into dev manager and then point to the new folder so it doesnt install any stupid extra network management BS.

follow the link,
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?
enter your model# 3134C6U on that page and the downloads are on the page that comes up.

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

Rogan, thanks for picking up, I'm getting married again on sunday so I've been a little busy,,,,
Ivtec, I see your on anand, Frank Ramiro? you'll get it running yet.
The drivers you'll find on lenovos site, business class if I recall but it was your PC. The newegg page has a link to that machines support page, look on the eggs "details" tab. Download the drivers on your connected PC to a flash drive and install from that. Check in the "Device Manager" (right click on computer in the start menu, click manage or properties, both will get you there) for hardware that needs the drivers, start with the ethernet drivers and you can get the rest after your online. Windows will register and update after you are connected.
Good Luck!

Thanks WoodButcher ; First of all i want to wish the best for your Marriage and you and your future wife live happy ever after for long years,

concerning the drivers download at Lenovo support i went there but it seems that they only give software if you connect to the there site via the computer that need them correct me if I'm wrong,check this out from there site,if you see a button that i can click to download to a CD or USB stick please tell me,Appreciate.

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

In that screen there should be an option called "More Options" or maybe "Advanced" or something like that. Delete all partitions / boot records, then try again letting windows decide how topartition the disk.

Also, you can take a look in bios to see if there is some optino for disabling EFI.

Thanks:rogfanther i was able to install the win7 from the dvd,now i have the min7,but it seems to me i need to install drivers from lenovo,and from the windows website.
It asked me for the key when i was installing ,i put it in but it did not accepted it ,i guess i need to be connected to the Internet,

Any help from then on for the next steps would be appreciated.

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

Why dual layer? How big is the ISO ? My win7 disc is a normal disc, 4.7GB. As long as it fits the image size, the kind of disc should not matter. I normally burn to a cdrw - dvdrw when testing integrating service packs, hotfixes and the like.

If you burn it the wrong way, it doesn´t matter how many times you download it. What I mean is you must burn the iso the same way you burnt the iso of the linux tool ( you burn it to a cd or dvd, didn´t you ? ).

If you are having trouble burning the iso, find a program called IsoBuster. It will be easier to burn the image to the disk in the correct way with it.

Thanks rogfanther; i was able to upload the win7ISO from other site and did burn it with IsoBurner that i already have to the DVD DL and i was able to boot up in the Linovo pc i was able to get to where it asks
Which type of install,UPGRADE OR Custom advanced:what shall i do next?

i tried to go Custom it shows
( Disco 0 Partitions 1 ;Windows XP 465.8GB

it says; windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 partition1,

i click details and it says; Windows Cannot be installed to this Disk,has an MBR Partition table,on EFI systems windows can only be installed to GPT Disks.

it also has a choice of format disk save drivers and so on.

what do you suggest i do next ?thanks in advance.

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

Maybe this thread should be moved to the computer forum.

Well, you didn´t burn the image to the disk. You burnt the file of the image (ISO file ) to the disk, as a file.

Look in your cd burner software for an option like "Burn Image" or something like that. If you made the linux discs and they are bootable, you should have done the same for burning the windows disc. Retrace your steps and see what was made in a different way.

Do you mean download the WIN7ISO again from the website and burn it to another DVD? since this one is not DVDWR is DVD DL-R,

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

hmm, well, put the dvd disk in a good, working computer .Wait a little to see if it shows an "Autorun" menu.

If nothing appears, open My Computer, then see in the drive letter corresponding to the dvd-rom if it shows a name, or just "DVD-RO)M Drive".
In windows explorer, click in the drive leter in the left pane to see it if shows the files in the right pane.

Thanks rogfanther;i have some screen shots of it,i also put in the good laptop and try to boot with it but it also doesn't see it,i did not change the drive on this one to be the first to boot from it though!

Re: Need help on this lenovon Power supply

Please, fill the profile details so that we know where in the world you are.

I mean to see if the windows 7 iso you burnt was ok. It it is, boot from it and attempt to install windows. Hardware drivers for your machine can be found in the Lenovo home page.

I tried that too but it doesn't boot with it, although i used the same process as the other programs that i posted in the previous post,i try to open the folder
in the DVD dl x17-58997 ISO burner, and it sais that i can't open the folder,
am i missing something?
