inkblack2 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi, i'm making this post because I need some help with my lenovo. It's a Y500 and all of a sudden it has started refusing to boot up for me. It now stays stuck on the boot up screen and just shows me the lenovo logo without the circle loader. I have tried restarting it a couple times and have tried to use onekey recovery to try to reset it the factory default but when I press the novo button it gives me the same problem where it stays of the lenovo logo.Please respond with suggestions or advice, anything is appreciated.

themunchkinman Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 It seems you are having issues in the hand-off between the BIOS ,UEFI and the drive.One thing that you may try is disabling the secure-boot options and see if you can boot from CD, DVD, or flash drive using some type of live media (PE disc or Linux Live distro).Then work from the ground up, test the hard-drive, see if your partitions are intact, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuicidalKitten Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Yeah installing backtrack or kali linux might be good to try and test the hard drive for errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchang Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 best answer is restore to ghost image if you have wisely created when you received your laptop. Orfresh install the windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondre Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Before reinstalling windows or a ghost image, I'd see if you can boot into a linux live-usb to see if there's something more going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
