Welcome to Fixya

Lenovo Y410 laptops latest drivers are for windows vista 32 bit OS. You may try using the Vista drivers since Vista and Windows 7 are the same platform. Please click here.

hi if you are using windows vista/7 recovery disk to reinstall OS, then while choosing drive there must be advance option below it..choose it and then delete all the drives and then create new partitions from all the unallocated space..and then choose the drive from newly created partition to reinstall OS..

to backup all imp. data before doing so use UBUNTU LIVE CD..then do the clean install of vista/7

if the above trick doesnt work then download the GPARTED LIVE CD to repartition your HD..
use GPARTED live to boot.
choose the HDD
delete all the parition
create new partition (NTFS)
hit APPLY
shutdown GPARTED LIVE.
install windows vista/7 thorgh reinstall DVD.

Hi nishantsi762,

You can still use the One Key Recovery after formatting your drive C and installing XP. Just make sure that you will not reformat the whole hard drive because One Key Recovery image is in the hidden partition of your hard disk.

Hope it helps,

Thank you for using Fixya.

to fix the problem you must open your laptop check the hardware inside of your laptop hardisk thats the problem try to unplug cables of hardisk to plug again or replace new hardware hardisk if not solve the problem

1. Boot from (Win 7) disk>select language>accept license terms and agreements>advance disk drive options>select from a list of partitions available there
2. Check if the “Logical Disk Manager “ and “Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service” are automatic and started under services.msc, and
3. To go to the following link and test the hard drive of the notebook:

Please try this out, and the inform back with further details

Unfortunately the Recovery partition could not be reacreated manually. But you can recover it by using the Y410 Recovery Disc but that means reinstalling everything and youll end up with windows vista again. You can reinstall XP but do not delete the partition that usually has 10-15GB of space because that is the hidden partition for the recovery. You can call 18774536686. If your computer is out of warranty, it would only cost you 59$ for the recovery disc

Here is a download site for Mate.

Have a great day

9. While selecting the drive, Select D as your partion. this will install xp.

This problem exist because once the 31GB default partition is formatted NTFS, it reduces in size. So, I found this solution.

there is a default and a hidden partition on it.. consist of all the back-up drivers for the laptop.. i recommend you go to the lenovo site and search on how to access the hidden partition..
