Well today I have received my last item and this completes my do store order! and to my surprise I have received W870 Wireless headphones instead of W770, may be because its out of stock for some time...

hey guys,

i dont know how it is fixed but it worked after updating the drivers using the default windows tool. and its working smooth.

1)can anyone tell me how to create a recovery drive for my windows 8 using dvd's. i am having a set of dvd's and would like to use them for creating recovery disks if more than one is needed. can anyone guide me for this. i have copied the drivers and apps that were in lenovo os partition already. Anyone can guide me so that i can do it perfectly.with lenovo one click software it was showing as 16gb and i guess that cant be done with dvd's. i liked that HP recovery tool that created a set of dvd's

Also is there like anything only 1 recovery partition can be created. is it present already or we have to create one?

2)Also guide me on how to create more than 3 partitions. only 3 partitions are allowed at present.

3)That mcafee thing is also irritating me. it keeps on showing the real time status off, tried the utility as well. ANy steps for that?

4)any other things that you performed which i might be missing, this is my first lappy, sow ant to take care of every thing.

5) how do i check for my windows 8 key?

1). Only hard drive can be used for taking backup using OneKey Recovery software, Use your portable HDD if you have one (Gone are the days of CD/DVD's). OneKey Recovery is a very good software and it takes complete backup of the partition in which Windows is installed, so customize your Windows according to yourself including uninstallation of crap and updating to latest software/driver etc. before taking the backup.

2). Partitions can be modified/created using Disk Management but remember you don't mess with the recovery partitions otherwise OneKey Recovery won't work.

3). You still have that crap. Get some good Antivirus/Internet Security solution like Norton/Avast.

4). Take care of your lappy because you have spent more than you ever will on your GF!!

5). You can use RW-Everything to get the serial from BIOS (ACPI table tab>MSDM table tab), read more from here.

1) Ill have to buy one portable hdd, can i create asay a 30gb partition on that portable hdd and create the recovery backup there? I was thinking to buy a32gb usb 3.0 flash drive for that purpose and keep it separate and safe!

2) Thanks again, few more doubts! The lappy came with 2 partitions with one default of lenovo and the other of windows 8, so i just create one extra partition of 390gb in another drive. how can i make sure that recovery partition is not affected?

3)will remove mcafee pretty soon, but did it caused the same problem to you as well?

4&5) thanks

You registered for two different offers right. One for adp and another for Deewali offer. I hope you knew it that there are two different pages for registration. And as far as redemption offer is concerned it is going to be given by nsdl. So look out for a mail from them.

1). Yes HDD partitions are supported but I am not very sure about Pen Drive support, you can try for yourself to find out.

2). All the hidden partitions (Not visible in the File Explorer) are recovery partitions and you can safely play with the visible ones.

3). No it didn't caused such problems to me. As far as I can remember its a 30 day trial version.

6). Patience is a virtue, As far as I can remember you will receive your successful submission email within few days and it will take 15+ days to receive the vouchers.

Haha...truely said!

Alright guys this is going to sound weird but I have to ask this. How did you guys know that the laptop is full charged. I am asking this coz mine has only run about 30 hours on battery as of now . So when did the led exactly stop blinking?

i have not got any email from anyone yet. I just got the message on my screen when i click on submit of thank you for registering and after that no email or message. i asked my friend who did in do gear offer and he said as soon as he clicked on submit, he got a message of some registration.

and you got any email from NSDL??

NO I HAVE NOT. I have no point of contact as well since that number always comes busy.

I am not saying about coupon code, i am saying about registration/ticket id.

Dumb question but it needs to be asked; Did you check your spam folder for the mail?
