Eric Got my laptop working perfectly, everything was fine. Lenovo recommended installing a driver. Now only network boot options show in the BIOS, no USB, no SATA, not even the DVD. My laptop is bricked. I'm done, so done. Glad I had the smarts to backup and more glad I got a holiday at the end of this week. I now have a very costly brick until I get the patience to waste my energy fixing it for it to break again. Lenovo & Windows, never again.
Mark Dain Ouch dude, that sounds awful! Is there anything you can do in the BIOS to fix it? If not, what are you going to do instead? I don't know any trustworthy hardware providers but AFAIK, Dell isn't too bad and Ubuntu might work for you

Eric I'm trying to get anything to show, just hitting random combinations at this point. imgur.com/P1TdWnH The same sorry scenario is in the BIOS Setup too. Right now my current mood is to take a hammer to the thing and be done with it. Time to read a book and mull it over, hell at least I can trust the atoms in the paper not to fail me. All this from installing a driver.

Mark Dain Oh wow that looks pretty fucked. This came from a driver update?! Do you have warranty? Thanks for the heads up, I'll steer clear of Lenovo, if it wasn't already clear enough from the SuperFish malware
