Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T410s Recovery Windows 7 Failed To Start After System Installation

Oct 14, 2008

I've got a problem with the laptop Lenovo T410s. I've put the new HDD on it (tried even the same with a different HDD too), and started to instal WIN 7 64-bit from the recovery disks. I used to do it many times so far with different Lenovo laptops without any problems. But this time, a while before the end of the instalation (when processing the sdrivebackup.wim) it stops and comes with a statement: " the recovery process has been finished, please ...." (but I see that the progres bar is far awayfrom 100%) , and finishes the instalation, reboot the computer and it comes the screen with the statement from the Windows Boot Manager:

"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem (...)
 
File: Windowssystem32winload.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The selected entrycould not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt"
 
I read a lot about the ways to solve similar problems, but they don't work on my case. The strange thing is, that I can instal WIN 8 or WIN7 from regular Windows instalation disks  (not from Lenovo recovery, but from normal universal Windows instalation disks).

As I told before, I tried it in 2 different HDD disks with the same effect. It looks that the recovery instalation stops before the end without instaling some files which are missing later during starting the system.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T410s Active Protection System On Ubuntu

Jul 18, 2013

On my Windows 7, APS works well with an icon on the system tray. But in Ubuntu (13.04), because of no driver, I dont know if APS works or not. The question is: does it still work silently without the driver on Ubuntu?If APS doesn't work, is my laptop harmed when it's shaken? Does Lenovo have any solution to get ASP worked on Linux (Ubuntu)?

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T510 Windows Recovery Failed

Dec 7, 2013

Windows 7 64bit on my T510 has died. When logging in, it hangs on the login screen forever. Windows recovery failed too. It ran for 8 hours and reported error (something like error in restoring a file and disk is full, though my C drive is half empty). After that all the Windows restoration points are gone. So I suppose I have to do factory reset.
 
My question is, I made two additional partitions on my hard drive using external tools, which store all of my data. So when I do factory reset, will these two partitions be overwritten? How I can recover the system while keeping all my data?

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T410s HDD LED Is Still Lighting As Charger Is In

Oct 14, 2008

I've bought Lenovo T410s in pretty bad shape. I decided to refubish the one, because I've some spare parts from T400s. So I disassembled the laptop, cleaned the one and assembled it back. Because the LCD screen was defected, I changed the whole LCD assembly (I put the whole one from T400s), changing only the LCD front bezel (but the only difference between the bezzel is the model inscription on it).

I installed the system back. After finishing the instalation of the system with all drivers update, I noticed that the HDD LED in the front LCD panel (that one under LCD) is still lighting as the AC charger is in. When I take it out, it stops lighting.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T440S - System Update Couldn't Start Properly

Sep 11, 2013

System update Lenovo stopped working some days ago. Today I had my fingers crossed that maybe with the installation of currently latest version it will work (systemupdate506-11-04-2014.exe). When I have ran the installation it has warned me there are some previous versions and it will be installed, but installation didn't went thru. After manually removing System update service (sc delete SERVICENAME) and running the installation again, the installation wizard completed successfully...

But then when I run System update I receive an error "T440S - System update Cuuldn't start properly".

How to achieve that System update would work properly on T440s laptop. My operating system is 8.1 x64 enterprise.

I have a new SSD I'd like to use in my T430. Unfortunately I can't install Windows on it as the laptop doesn't recognise (?) the SSD. Before the installation starts I get the message "PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable".

I tried updating the BIOS but the situation stays the same.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: Does Microsoft Windows 7 Installation CD Automatically Recognize MSATA

Mar 30, 2008

Does the Microsoft Window's 7 installation CD automatically recognize the mSATA and the Optimus in conjunction with the Intel HD 4000 as well as the fingerprint reader for login?  Or do I have to download the drivers and install ExpressCache separately off of Lenovo's website... trying to stay clear of Lenovo drivers that might conflict with Intel's and NVIDIA's.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: Sudden Shutdown - Won't Start Again Running Windows 7 Enterprise

Mar 21, 2010

I have a new T400 (2768GP6) running Windows 7 Enterprise (~3 weeks old). This morning it just turned off all of a sudden and won't turn back on. I tried pressing the power button 10 times and holding it down on the 11th time with no AC or battery connected, but it's just dead. None of the indicators are lit when connected to AC.

I might point out that I did spill some coffee on the keyboard this morning about 5 minutes before it shut off. But, it was barely a few drops (you know, the few drops that remain although the cup is technically empty) and I wiped it all off with a paper towel. Those few drops spilled at the bottom left-hand corner, right by the Fn and Ctrl keys.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T430s - Windows 8 And Recovery Partition

Dec 12, 2012

I have new T430s with Windows 8 on it (preinstalled by Lenovo). Everything is fine except they cut a huge chunk of my expensive SSD hard drive for so called "recovery partition". So now I have 2 tasks to accomplish:
 
1. Create recovery media on DVDs;
2. Remove that recovery partition from my HD and attach the space to main partition.
 
On Windows 7 I would use "Rescue and Recovery 4.5" tool from Lenovo to do that. But it looks like the tool is not available for Windows 8. When (if) it will be available? Or any other way to accomplish the above tasks?

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T420 - Base System Device Driver Not Working On Windows 7

Jul 7, 2014

After reinstalling W7 the lenovo solution center was complaining saying that the System Device Driver is not working. I saw that the SD card reader was not working neither so I assumend the missing driver was that one.

From the Lenovo page I dowloaded the driver for the Multi Card port for W7 and T420. After installing it the message dissapeared and the SD cards were recognized properly.
 
However, after rebooting the system, after a while, the mesage appeared again and the card reader stopped working.

I did install it again and the same happened. It was working and after two reboots stopped working.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T430U Windows 7 Pro Install Errors - System Reserve Partition

Oct 26, 2013

NIB T430U (Type 8614), 128 SSD, shipped with Win 7 Pro but had a Win 8 Pro license.
 
Booted into Windows Installer via USB thumb drive running YUMI Multiboot tool (Win 7 Pro is the only OS on it currently).  Installer loads perfectly, go into Custom (Advanced), blew away all existing partitions and create a new one using all available space (122104MB).  New partition is created, go to format, expecting it to automatically create the System Reserved partition but it doesn't.  Click Next, get an errors stating, "Setup cannot create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition.  Check setup logs for more details."
 
Did some research and decided to go into DISKPART and do all of the partitioning ahead of time.  Ran the following sequence:
 
diskpart
list disk
select disk #
clean all
create partition primary align=1024
format fs=ntfs
active
exit
exit
 
Closed the Windows Installer to reboot the PC and went through the same installation motions, omitting making any changes when in the Custom (Advanced) section, same error.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: Windows 8 Recovery Disc Not Working For ThinkPad T430

Sep 28, 2013

I have purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad T430. This laptop came with pre-installed Windows 7 Pro. However I want to use Windows 8 which I have a recovery disc for.

I built in a SSD instead of the optical drive. So I don´t have a optical drive. On this SSD I want to run my OS.

With a software from Samsung (manufacturer of my SSD) I was able to copy the Windows7 OS on my SSD.

As I mentioned above I bought a laptop with installed windows 7 pro and a Windows 8 upgrade disc. Therefore I got the "Operating System Recovery Dis Windows 8 Pro. (OEM Activation 3.0 Required)".

The problem now is that I have an upgrade disc but no optical drive. So I created an image of the upgrade disc and with this image I have created a bootable USB stick with the following program:

[URL] ....

When I boot my laptop using the bootable USB stick everything seems to be working until to the point where I have to accept the EULA.

So I chose a  language, and clicked on "I accept the agreements".

When I want to click on "next" I got a error message "recovery failed".

Please have a look on the following picture taken with my smartphone. The language used in this picture is german as i live in Austria.

Link to image

How I can upgrade to Windows 8? Why the upgrade disc is not working?

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T410 Windows 7 Recovery Media 64bit Will Not Boot

Jan 7, 2014

I have been sent 4 sets of Windows 7 Recovery Media from Lenovo over the past week and a half. These DVDs are unusable as they will not boot because they were created as non-bootable DVDs. When looking at the DVDs, they all just have 1 file on them - 0A44006.dvd.  I was sent a set of the 32bit version and it has multiple files on it with Bootmgr and 6 directories and will boot just fine. The 64bit DVDs obviously were created and replicated without any of these files to make it a bootable DVD.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T510 / Battery Failed With 99% Capacity

Apr 2, 2011

Recently my T510 9 cell battery suddenly stopped working. According to the Lenovo battery utility, the battery condition is poor and it suggests replacing a battery.
 
However, the battery seems still have 99% capacity, either by Lenovo utility or by other softwares. Before the failing it lasts 3-4 hours and charges normally. 
 
I read several posts online and see some people have similar problems. It is suggested that maybe one of the cells fail so the circuit stopped the battery from working/or the safety circuits just malfunctions? Or indeed I need to replace the battery.
 
I understand that messing with battery is risky and I believe it is detected as not working for a good reason. However,  I am wondering if there is a way to assure that my battery is completely dead, but not a problem with other hardware or the OS, before I purchase a new battery. For example, using a volmeter on the whole batteryto see if I can get a reading, or opening up the battery case and test on each cell? 
 
Is it doable to replace a single cell if one of them fails?
 
PS: For people who says that they connect two terminals of the battery to a volmeter and see no readings, I believe you also need to ground the safety pin to turn on the battery.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: Failed Fingerprint Reader And Constant Blue Screen On T430

Aug 13, 2013

I believe my fingerprint reader died a death after a windows update.  I have tried reinstalling drivers several times but no luck, the computer doesn't even seem to recognise that a scanner even exists anymore.  Its incredibly frustrating...well not as bad as this constant blue screen and crashing.  I don't really understand the reason for it, but to be fair I don't really know what im looking for when the blue screen appears....it mentions something about a usb driver i believe.  There isnt even anything plugged in to any ports when the crashes take place.
 
Im really not happy about these issues with a laptop that is no more than 6 weeks old.

My T500 was slammed very hard one day, once I reboot, it worked for half hour and gave up. I tested it via BIOS, it gave me error code 0000 read verification failed.

I presumed the HD is dead, inserted a healthy one inside and works fine for a couple of hours and gave up again, tested through BIOS gave me the same error code.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: Won't Start Up After Battery Was Drained
