It's so cliche mar... Tired with everyone's mentality of saying "mau performance get desktop lah".

Yes, desktop > mobile, but common sense that most power users who want power on the go will opt for this instead of lugging a tower everywhere, no? doh.gif 

Even with AirAsia's 7kg limit for hand carry luggage also with our lappy already taking 2.7kg liao... If tower amacam~? tongue.gif Cannot play in-flight also since no power port for the PSU onboard. whistling.gif

PS: Not raging at anyone in particular... laugh.gif Just venting out my personal frustrations on people's mentality towards performance lappies vs desktops. whistling.gif

Just manage to read it.  If they stated international warranty i think Lenovo should honor it no matter what. I don't like the way Lenovo threat customer.  My Macbook and Alienware have no issue of warranty.  No need receipt all is registered in their server.  Feel bad about Lenovo, regret getting it.

not same as lenovo local n foreign set is diff, international warranty is diff also. PAIN IN THE AZZ

here is little help and tips,
-----------------------------------

how to enable msata for cache drive- and prove it is working FAST!!!



link that helps,
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/...?DocID=HT074404

what lenovo did not mention in the guide,
- for y500 sli - intel rapid storage technology software ( enable acceleration ) is not working on win 8 64 bit
- so all you need is lenovo expresscache from the link - beware of 32 and 64 bit
- after you install your msata into the laptop, make sure to check the msata detect by bios and showing details here
user posted image

- also access bios and set boot mode to legacy support ( so that your msata will be shown there at boot
device priority and for future you will be able to set msata to 1st boot and maybe install win8 directly at msata.
user posted image



also,
- 1st time installing new or used msata, please uninstall any "intel rapid storage and lenovo expresscache
software 1st" then reboot
- after that go right click my computer--> manage--> disk management and right click on your msata and
delete volume ( let it be as default , no drive letter, no partition, yup the original unallocated space.
- install lenovo expresscache and reboot
- WALLA you will notice speedy boot of your win 8 64bit right away, and you may run this command to test your msata WORKING AS CACHE DRIVE OR NOT

1) Open the Start Menu, click on "All Programs", then click on "Accessories". Right-click on "Command Prompt" and then choose "Run as administrator" from the menu that appears.

2)Type "eccmd.exe -info" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- result sould be some statistic like mine
user posted image

all above all FU lenovo and Intel for this complicated fakap method.


additional infos,
- your msata drive will available for view in disk management but not in my computer, also msata space is not available as normal storage( no copy and paste there like normal hard disk).

before setting as cache drive, please format and partition to test your msata 1st using as ssd software , this just to bench hehe whistling.gif

so far for the number of multi hundred units of Y500/Y510 sold, seen none of the described issue. This happened only when the plastic at inner layer broken when forced open by inexperienced seller. (saw it when a customer bought Y500 and walk in for mSATA)
*
the tips is to open it gently shake side by side. tongue.gif

Yes. Exactly. For Y500/Y510, back cover is to open evenly together from left and right. If not careful, either two place will get broken:
The ULTRABAY or nearby audio jack area

yup, lastime saw some noob reseller try to upgrade ram into y500, back cover opened and 2 front clips broken, heard loud SNAP sound when they opned the cover.

they told customer its okay and the screw will hold it tight, if me ill backfire them back Lenovo certified reseller my AZZ! flex.gif tongue.gif

Honestly not too worried about the warranty i take very good care of my "children" hahahaha

Anyway, what I want to ask is that;

1. OS is installed on 1TB HDD that has not been partitioned, I want to reinstall windows and partition the HDD to smth of 250GB+- & 750GB+-. How do I do that without the WIndows8 CD?

2. What is the 24GB SSD for? Can I install Windows on it?
*
haha we are in the same boat, loving and caring "THE BABY" notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif wub.gif

answers,

1) its totally impossible. unless you have the win8 installation files in pendrive and use the pendrive to format and install the os. you can create partitions for your hard disk during the os installation process.

2) yes it is possible , try google , there is too many ways and confusing, also you will not able to use the one key recovery anymore and you need to extract windows 8 key before new installation. best method is to clone old hard disk to a new one.


What is the 24GB SSD for?
- this is special for your laptop as cache drive, meaning it will store frequent use application/software and you can open/close/operate it faster, e.g. faster win 8 boot, faster load time, faster everything. but it is not as fast as the real SSD because yours should be msata right?

set up as cache drive guide brows.gif
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=62637352

- or you may use it for normal storage like normal hard disk.

- installing win8 into <64gb anySSD is not recommended as the system files or applications updates grows, you will have a tiny space left.



good luck soldier.

You talk about cloning a HDD, an idea came to mind help me verify if this is possible...

1) Clone OS into an external HDD
2) Set-up bios to boot from external HDD
3) Wipe clean HDD in laptop
4) Partition
5) Clone back OS from external HDD into new partition.

OR

1) Clone OS into an external HDD
2) Remove HDD from laptop n place into PC
3) Wipe clean HDD via PC
4) Partition
5) Clone back OS from external HDD into new partition
6) Place HDD back into laptop
*
Clone os into xternal hdd possible? Need to test and research further bro. + win 8 key will be a mess.
