    Complete wrong Windows recovery disk and driver disk sent by lenovo!


    I recently had to reinstall a windows 7 recovery disk and recovery driver disks that were sent to me from Lenovo support saying my warranty was good until 2015 sometime. Any way little did I know that I was in the think pad department and I have an idea pad Y570 0862 any way I explained to them in detail what my system was and they still sent me the recovery disk for the wrong machine. so I did the install not knowing it was for a think pad and now realize that there are things missing plus it is supposed to be win 7 64gb and the baseband drivers are not installed and I can't get them installed. well they won't transfer the warranty from one department to the other and say that I cannot get an extended warranty through the right department because it shows there that it is expired any way I have installed the drivers that are ment for my system to the best of my ability but I'm sure there are drivers installed for the wrong system and if I run test every thing says it is OK but I'm not sure I trust that plus I have a 32gb win 7 installed when I should have 64gb and I cannot find my blue ray info in device manager it just appears that I'm stuck unless I fork out more money for there mistake and I just don't know where to go from here or what to do! I hope this post is not offensevie in anyway I just have learned to trust this forum and respect the views and help I have received so if any one has any input please by all means let me know. Sorry again if this post is improper!

    Hi there ... This seems all wrong to me you now have a 32 Bit OS which wont support your 8GB of Ram .. How ever you should have a Product COA Key it should be some where under your Laptop .. If this is the case you could do a Clean Install of windows with the 64 Bit OS .. But if i was you i would be seeking Legal Advice ...

    I think your best bet would be to seek Legal Advice before doing any thing .. When it come to doing a Clean Install read the Link which i Posted ..

    Just install windows yourself, it`s very easy and we`re here to help, burn a 64 bit dvd and you`ll have windows installed in 15 minutes.

    How did your warranty get screwed up just from ordering some dvd`s ?

    Don`t you know when your warranty is up ?

    Don`t you have paperwork ? A receipt ? A bank statement ?

    I can`t believe you just can`t call and say hey, you sent me the wrong software and they won`t send you what you want

    I really just dont want to have to spend more money for something I should be covered on. I asked for recovery disk for my widows 7 os and driver recovery disk but little did I know that when I was sold my extended warranty that they sold it to me in the thimkpad department when I have an Ideapad and they even have me as having a different machine than I have. but in the ideapad department they say my warranty expired in 2012 and that because of that I can not have extended warranty added now even though I can prove I paid for it just that some agent mislead me and sold it to me in the wrong department knowing because I told them the model and all the info that had to do with my system they still allowed me to do it and I had no idea that I was speeking to the wrong people!

    Then just bite the bullet and do it yourself, drivers are not a problem, they are on the Lenovo website, don`t even give that a second thought. Just move on. Blank dvd`s are less then $5 at Walgreens and flash drives are under $10.

    I`m sure you know how to install windows but everything you need is here.

    Do you have a COA on it ? can you read your key ?
