Install os and Configure first boot device HDD

You will need to get a copy of the recovery disk from IBM, contact IBM, the disk carries the operating system and all the drivers for the laptop. The disk is in most cases about $20.00
Go to the IBM support site on the Internet for ordering info.

On my Lenovo ThinkPad Windows 7 laptop, I have got "Operating System not found" error, to fix problem,Windows Boot Genius helped me finally!

Ok seems like an issue with the LCD screen . Try these steps :
1. do u hear the windows login sound when you turn on the system ?
2. Check for any lblinking lights on the system. Press the caps lock and num lock and check if it responds.
3. Do u have a Desktop at home ? if yes then you can connect the monitor to the system and check for the display.
4. check for any cracks or any kind of damages. Reseat the battery and then power oN . Check for the light on the AC adapter too.

IF the answer is YES for the above then its a issue with the LCD screen.

that message means that windows 2000 professional/98 is not installed which means you have a blank computer you need to put the disk that came with it in and install the OS or purchase one but i'll warn you now those disk are not cheap around a couple hundred bucks

Afternoon,

I hope this helps?

To recover the hard disk to it's original contents, do the following:

Note:

1. If the optical drive is not attached to your ThinkPad computer during recovery, DVD software and CD-recording software will not be installed. To ensure that they will be installed correctly, attach your ThinkPad computer to the X4 Dock and install the optical drive in the Ultrabay Slim before performing a recovery ioperation.

2. The recovery process might take up to 2 hours.

Attention: All of the files on the primary hard disk partition (usually drive C) will be lost in the recovry process. However, before any data is overwritten you will be give the opportunity to save one or more files to other media.

Power the computer using the AC adapter and ensure a fully charged battery is installed before proceeding.

1. If possible, save all your files and shutdown your operating system.

2. Turn off the computer for at least 5 secounds.

3. Turn on your computer. Watch the display carefully. While the message. "To inturrupt normal startup, press the blue Access IBM button" is displayed at the lower left of the screen, press the Access IBM button. The Rescue and Recovery workspace opens.

4. Click Restore your system.

5. Click Restore my hard drive to the original factory state and then click Next.

6. Follow the instructions on the screen.

7. When the recovery process finishes, press the Enter key. Your computer will restart with the pre-installed operating system, drive, and software.

If it's not finding the operating system, and you'va ran the recovery cd, then the problem is going to be that the hard drive has failed and will need replaced. In order to double check and make sure it's the hard drive, run the recovery or operating system disc, and reformat the hard drive. If the hard drive will not format, then it's bad.

try to check your settings on the display properties ->screen saver->monitor power. make sure the power is turn off never.

Take out the hard drive and see if the laptop still shuts down. If it doesn't then your hard drive might be the issue. You can also try reseating your memory.
