hi, my recovery cd for the sl400 is damage and i know it can only create a set of recovery disk.

is there any way to recreate it again? if not possible, how do i get a recovery disk from?

thanks.

changi....

What model are you using? T410? okay i am using W510 and my USB also giving me live current... I do not know if this is normal but it doesn't bother me. 2nd, mine is fine. 3rd, mine is fine. 4th never call before.

so is USB port being live normal?

What do you mean USB port being live?

I have some problems with the port too but can still live with it. Here's the details:

I have a USB dongle for my wireless mouse. If I on the mouse before the window in OR off the mouse before the lappy fully off(display is black), i'll get blue screen.

go lenovo.com/support. there is a ensure ur system is up to date. check ur drivers and stuff, update bios. then see how it goes. btw, wat do u mean by the guys comes everytime n spoils something? the 800 number cannot help u over the phone? y not u just send the machine in directly to changi? speaking to our front counter staff.

i did burn myself. at first i was able to use it. after some time, the disc was not able to read. i did try to use other drive to read it and still the same thing.
so i confirm that the disc is damage.

u only can create image recovery once. 1 time action only.

Q: If we have Win 7 Home or Win 7 Pro on T410 - can we get it upgraded to 64bit version FOC?

Thanks in advance!

anyway using same cd key that y they can provide free except the trouble involve. maybe they use cloning? cloning i think faster then reformat? nv use cloning before.

unless they so good to use their own cd key if they have volume license but maybe legal issue i doubt so.

Yes all 32 bit CD key is the same as 64bit. Just download the ISO and burn to disc and use your 32bit cd key

Thank you so much Sire!

there is software to even display ur cd key. juz copy n paste n u can save the key. haha.

should be the same, but poly version should already be 64bit cause they are giving 4GB ram.

Not the windows version (home to pro - I know this is chargeable ), but from 32bit to 64bit

Thanks man! Where did you buy yours and what version you use?

32 to 64 Bit change is free, cause the license key is the same, go to changi and get the disc to do the upgrade. depending on your HDD, can take up to 1hour++ to load.

Or you can buy the disc itself. in case you need it in future. I think... THink only, it should cost about 70++ and can be collected at Park View Sq

Bring something to entertain yourself cause there is nothing to do there but wait for the installation to be completed. Can be quite boring.
