Hi, the only way to find out is to put a dvd in if you have the software on the unit it should automatically start up for you. It won't do your pc any harm if you don't have the software just eject the dvd out. You can download free VLC media player from the internet and this package will play your dvd .

Have you check your fans if its working? 1. Check the fans if not working you must replace it or put some drop of machine oil. 2. Remove any dust blocking the airways from fans to heat sink. 3. Lastly check your software install there's might drivers conflict or infected by virus. This software issue might cause for the system to automatically shutdown

Yes, I had the same ... To put things right I downloaded Linux Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/download), burnt it to dvd and used the non-working hard drive as the only master drive, and installed Ubuntu as the operating system. Then I erased Ubuntu by installing Windows XP. As you already have Windows working on your computer, why not create a 'virtualbox' and install the tech preview inside your current operating system? Search for for Oracle virtual box for Windows hosts (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html), download it and also download the guest box additions. That just means if you have say, Windows 7 as your operating system, you create a virtualbox and install another operating system inside that virtualbox. You can run both operating systems at the same time. If you don't fancy the idea of a virtualbox, you can use the inbuilt Windows disk partitioner to create another drive on your hard drive and install the tech preview there. Your computer will be 'dual boot' ... at start up you choose which operating system to use. You can do the same using Linux - but be aware that Linux must go on as the SECOND operating system. Your first port of call is to format those hard drives and put things right.

hi dbcaloha, one way of bypassing the password is to power drain the pc.

Turn off the pc, unplug cables, remove the battery , press and hold the power button for 5 seconds, replug cables and reinsert battery.

Turn on the pc and check if it bypass the password, otherwise your system needs to perform factory reset...

Hope this helps...

The more programs and software you put onto a computer, the slower it can become.However, the first thing to do is defragment your hard drive. Start your computer, open 'My computer' and right click on the C drive icon. From the tabs choose TOOLS and then defragment .. The time taken to defragment depends on the size of your hard drive.Then go to the control panel and look for Install/Uninstall programs. If there's anything you can live without, uninstall it.Restart your computer. If things are still slow (and you are confident you have plenty of RAM - memory) installed, suspect a failing hard drive.

Update the wireless card driver. You can get the update in the website of your computer's manufacturer. Since you can't access the internet with your lenovo, use the other computer and save the update file. Put it in a USB drive and install it to your defective computer.After installing the update, the internet should be back. If it's fixed, I suggest that you install RadarSync to keep the drivers updated so that you won't get the same problem in the future. One more possible reason of this issue is your firewall settings. Try checking it, it might be blocking the wireless connection.David

Thats easy just contact the manufacturer website and download the drivers

The Windows operating system allows you to compress the files on your drive to conserve disk space. In some situations, this compression process will compress files required for the operating system to boot. Files that are compressed must be decompressed prior to execution. Since the operating system has not loaded, boot files cannot yet be decompressed. In this case, the operating system will fail to load and a "BootMgr is compressed" message will appear. An easy way around this problem is to boot from the Windows DVD, and use the provided interface to access your drive properties and decompress it. Turn on the computer, and insert your Windows DVD. Press a random key on your keyboard once you see the "Press any key..." message. This interrupts booting from the hard drive and forces a boot from the Windows DVD. Click the "Next" button at the bottom of the Windows 7 dialog, and then click the "Repair your Computer" link Below. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364219(v=vs.85).aspx File Compression and Decompression Select the "Load Drivers" button at the bottom of the "System Recovery Options" dialog, and click the "OK" button on the "Add Drivers" dialog. This opens a file browser on your screen. Click the "Computer" icon, which is located on the left hand side of the screen. This displays an icon for your disk drive. Right-click your hard drive, and click "Properties. " This opens a Local Disk Properties dialog. Click to deselect the "Compress this drive..." option at the bottom, and then click the "Apply" button. Select the "X" icon to close the file browser window. This takes you back to the Install Windows dialog. Press the "X" icon at the corner of the Install Windows dialog. This opens a cancellation dialog. Select the "Yes" button on this dialog to restart your computer. Hope this helps b>

You will have to have the factory OS restore disc or a recovery partition from the factory on your hard drive. If you have a recovery partition then you should be able to find it when the computer POSTs at boot - it may give you several options and one them being Recovery. Don't mess with your Setup unless you know what you're doing. Another possible way is by tapping F8 while your computer is booting up. It will go to a black screen with white text. You'll see several options: Safe Mode, LastKnownGoodConfiguration, and so on. Look for a line that suggests Recovery or possibly Utilities. If you can't find it by either of those ways, then you can usually contact the maker and ask for a Recovery Disc. They will want your model info. This usually costs under $50. If yo have a disc then just put it in, reboot the computer, press the indicated button for Boot Menu, Choose CD\DVD, and then press Enter. Follow the prompts from there to reinstall your OS.
