Apparently I made the "mistake" of installing Rapidboot. I get constant BSODs from this. When I go to remove it it causes the computer to BSOD. I can;t remove it in safe mode because Microsoft doesn't allow the Windows Installer service to run (which means I can't uninstall the program).
Anyone had to deal with this before and found a way to get it removed?
I am hoping I can do it without going through and manually cleaning it out. I suppose I could also just re-install Windows.

Re: Lenovo Rapidboot removal
I'm assuming Windows 7 here...
but another user on Lenovo forums had the same issue (blue screen on uninstall)
goto services, and see if Superfetch and VSS are disabled... if so, enable, then try uninstall.

Re: Lenovo Rapidboot removal
I think you can just nuke the Program Files\RapidBoot and ProgramData\Lenovo\RapidBoot folder from a bootable installation that supports NTFS read/write.
