Clean install, drivers, SSD and other issues in W520

#1 Post by nobody2 » Fri Sep 16, 2011 5:09 am

Hello All,

Its my first post, just to ask and maybe answers some questions.

Yesterday I was working with my new w520 and have some problems.

1.- I reinstall W7 in original SATA HD disk without burn recover dvd. Maybe I will never use it, but I don't know if there are anything important here. I saw a partition (not deleted) with a possible ISO image (i'm not sure at this moment) I will try to recover the recover iso from it but meanwhile. Anybody know if recovery tool is downlodeable? not all content, just the tool.

2.- I was trying to do a clean install of W7 into SSD disk Corsair Force 3, replacing original SATA. But I can't. I tried changin AHCI to Compatible, creating GPT partition, changing UEFI bios boot options, but W7 freeze.

3.- After some hours, anybody must know that you CAN'T install W7 from USB 3.0 (left side of the notebook). You must use DVD or maybe (not tested, USB from back).

4.- After reinstall into original disk, I don't have wifi/lan without install additional official drivers. Its too strange for me. There aren't any driver by default in W7 professional disk? (image professional x64 from: http://www.mydigitallife.info/official- ... tal-river/ --> X17-59186.iso

Thank you all!
