i recently re-install trial windows 7 on my Lenovo. then I realize i should use the factory reset instead because of the original windows preloaded with it. the problem is i can't find my factory restore DVDs. so i tried to revert to use the Lenovo partition (hidden) in the hard disk. the problem is, i can't restore my laptop using this partition. to add up, the F11 key does not work during boot. is there any other way to restore my machine? The hidden Lenovo partition is 14GB and it's untouched.
1) Need to do factory restore
2) Lost recovery DVDs
3) Untouched 14GB Lenovo hidden partition
4) Cant access the hidden partition in boot, other than using linux (Ubuntu)

any owner of y470 had any serious issues?been eyeing this laptop for awhie.for it's spec it's quite cheap so a bit curious of the quality/reliability :/

Problem solved. The OKR is working again. I dont have to repartition the hard disk like original. just copy the entire recovery image into C and it boot straight into OKR. If you're interested to know how this was done, you can refer to this blog i just created. LePetiteLenovo. Ive listed the steps to take. Hopefully this post can help all IdeaPad users having the same problem as mine.
Just as rough idea:
Step 1) Prepare Windows PE on USB Flash Drive
Step 2) Prepare HDD for image recovery / copy
Step 3) Copy the whole image from hidden partition.
All are using cmd.
Cheers!

Awesome price due to specs..

Is there any possibility that the GPU itself is crippled version ?

When can we expect this ?

Ya, I also spot on that.
Is that spec suitable for rendeing 3d max??

Just got the Y480 today. So far so good

Bought Y480 last Saturday, and installed Diablo 3. Y480 can run the game comfortably even with all graphics settings set to "High" and V-Sync on.

Just need to upgrade to the latest NVDIA drivers..version 295.55 i think.

i just bought ideapad z470 (nvidia 630m 2gb) ! its nice! no lag for dota2! but the temp is a bit hot =,= help plz

http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/laptop/i...0-datasheet.pdf

is lenovo y580 launched?

No, the y580 has not been officially launched.

ok guys , bought the lenovo y480 free-dos version , to be notice , the cd driver is a MESSED !! simple say the driver inside the disc all of them cant be used , u will end up installing error or file not found etc ,

so i decided to go to the lenovo web site to download the driver from there...

first attemp the intel chipset software was successful hence it jus 2.4mb

2nd attemp , the audio driver , indicated 151mb but no matter how many times i try to dl it jus end up 93mb , seems like their upload link broken!!

same goes to some other driver as well !!

ok , dis is serious fed up , the driver either from site or cd jus make u crazy , googled the problem seems like free-dos user having the same problem thou dis set was extremely new model so u wont get much solution..


IMO , if u dun mind go all these troubling in free-dos jus go ahead and get one to save ur budget else , jus get the window version

btw , lenovo.com.my server gave up , trying different lenovo server now


now i jus can search for solution and watching my driver-less y480

install win8 rt version. copy all the driver there. then install win7 with all the driver u need.

my gf is planning to get a Y480

hows the performance thus far?

i more towards multitask usage. not a gamer anyway. this model runs well n a bit hotter than my current asus a42 series.
