    Hi guys, i recently upgrade my ideapad z470 from i5 to i7QM with a Samsung 840 SSD. All upgrade went smooth without hitch, however, I couldnt get the novo button to work.

    I have followed a couple of online guide on how to backup the entire hdd image on the hidden / D:Lenovo_Part, but the engineering disc doesnt allow me to backup the image of my hdd..

    here is what I have done, used the OKR engineering disc to create C + D Lenovo_part partition (option 1 - clean installation), fresh install windows 7 with all drivers / programs installed, changed all the settings to my liking.
    reboot and reinserted the OKR engineering disc and selected 'option 2 - Not clean partition (or similar)' then, according to the guide, it should load a few command and enters shut down state, afterwhich, I would press the novo button and the OKR partition would boot and start backing up my hdd image.

    Where it goes wrong is after my fresh installation of windows 7, it enters the shut down statein accordance to the guide and when i press the novo button, laptop starts up but after bios, it goes straight to booting SSD / windows 7 and by passes the OKR backing up image process...

    Is there any bios setting that i need to change? ie, make it boot to OKR partition? or have I missed a step in the OKR back up process? or if you know any videos that shows the entire backup process?

    Any help would be great!

    PS - my hdd is samsung 840 250gb.
