Cannot mount winpe boot.wim with error:3

Hi there
thats what i´ve done:
first i installed the adk (build 10057) after i´ve removed the old one completely.
then i´ve used copype to create new files (copype amd64 c:\123)
after this i´ve used this command:
Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:c:\123\media\sources\boot.wim /mountdir:c:\123\mount /index:1 /loglevel:4
and i get the error message
Error:3
The system cannot find the path specified.
Here is the Log: http://pastebin.com/djPfKXdN
Whats wrong? Can someone else confirm this?
p.s. i get the same error if i use an different/older wim-file...

Hi,
Currently, we only have latest preview build to 10049 via Windows Update. For the ADK, please make sure to use ADK for Windows Technical Preview
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn938390(v=vs.85).aspx
I tested in my mahcine, and the operation completes successfully
The logs shows that something is missing in the dism store, I recommend you uninstall the Deployment tools which contains DISM in ADK, then reinstall the tool as a test.

Found the solution. The hardrive name was changed to "/" which is not a recognised file path character. So I changed the name to "Mac" then I was able to already open all files in excel and word

hi
i renamed lk* file but the issue still remains,
with the oracle user

2. shutdown immediate
this leads to
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist

X86 boot.wim network error 0xe0000101

Hi all,
i used this command to mount, add, commit an dismount about 1200 network drivers to my boot.wim from a windows 7 enterprise cd.
cd C:\install2
dism /mount-wim /wimfile:boot.wim /index:1 /mountdir:mount
Dism /Image:mount /Add-Driver /Driver:Drivers\ /Recurse /ForceUnsigned
dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:mount /commit
dism /mount-wim /wimfile:boot.wim /index:2 /mountdir:mount
Dism /Image:mount /Add-Driver /Driver:Drivers\ /Recurse /ForceUnsigned
dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:mount /commit
pause
After this the size of the boot.wim has grown from 144mb to 172mb, so it looks good.
then i imported the boot.wim to the wds server, and had a clientcomputer boot the image.
when its preparing to load, i get the error :
"WdsClient: An error occurred while starting networking: a matching network card driver was not found in this image. Please have your Administrator add the network driver for this machine to the Windows PE image on the Windows Deployment Services server."
This, While i added 1200 network drivers to the boot.wim ( i made sure that network drivers for my testcomputer are in there)...
So i checked the Setupapi.app.log and it gave me the following failure's:

Hi Shaon Shan,
as u can see in the copy of the Setupapi.app.log log, the logfile does not say anything about the Plug
and Play ID (PnPID). If it had an id in there, i wouldnt have this problem.
is there a other way to get the pnpid?

Cannot mount Truecrypt volume (device-mapper error)

I have a 1TB external USB disk (externally powered) and I have created 3 partitions on it:
Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000202043392 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121600 cylinders, total 1953519616 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

/dev/sdb3 1744824320 1953517567 104346624 7 HPFS/NTFS
The last partition, /dev/sdb3, has been formatted with Truecrypt 7.0a and I'd like to mount it, but truecrypt reports the following error:
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: No such file or directory
Command failed
I am getting the same error with my custom kernel and with stock Arch Linux kernel; what can it be? Can somebody please help me to narrow down this issue?
Thanks

Ehm..I am trying to mount the device (/dev/sdb3), not the mapper! Although I can see that with file-based truecrypt container the mapper gets mounted. Shan't truecrypt create the mapper and mount that for me in case I select a device?
This is the information of the two mappings created (2_0 and 2_1 since I had already mounted a file-based container):

Tables present: LIVE
Open count: 1

None of them gets mounted after I get the mentioned error; maybe truecrypt is expecting a dm feature which I have not enabled in my kernel?

Cannot mount external USB drive with FDisk_partition_scheme

Due to some recent mac issues in my lab, we updated one of the computers to Maverick 10.9.4 from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 yesterday. Anyhow, this seems to have erased the ability of the mac to read or mount several identical USB drives with the NTFS format (WD My Passport Ultra 500GB USB3.0). It could do it yesterday when it was OSX 10.6.8, but not today (OSX 10.9.4). The drives still work fine on other OSX 10.6.8, Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04 computers (this is appears to be a problem with the Maverick 10.9.4 operating system itself, rather than the flash drives which work flawlessly with every other computer I've tried). I want to remove data from the computer to create backups on the USB drives (no, I don't want to create an online backup or buy a new set of USB drives).
diskutil can see the drives, but cannot verify or repair them as they lack a GUID (GPT) partition scheme. I'm assuming this is the root of the problem. Manually mounting the drives does not work. Installing the ntfs-3g driver also did not work (I was using this to write to the NTFS drives until we upgraded OS's). Installing the WD Passport drivers for OSX also did not work. How do I get the mac to mount these drives?
I could reformat one USB drive and then copy to the others, but this would be extremely inconvenient and take days of copying files back and forth (and would prefer to fix the mac rather than go through this with every NTFS drive I own). If I did this, the FAT32 hard drive format would not be suitable, as format is unable to handle the extremely large sequencing datasets I need to transfer. I'm not super familiar with hard drive formats, but in the event we cannot get Maverick to actually work could someone possibly suggest a format able to handle large file sizes (the largest file I need to move is ~60GB) and be compatible with Windows 8.1 / OSX 10.9.4 / Ubuntu 14.04 as well?
Another workaround I thought of would be just to install an Ubuntu partition on the mac and get the files off through the Linux install. Which is also inconvenient, but would probably be faster than trying to reformat the drives and copy everything over onto them again given the amount of data I want to transfer.
Unrelated, but is there any way to view files and folders in the OSX root directory besides through Terminal? It seems like this functionality was also removed when we "upgraded" from Snow Leopard. (At this point, if it were up to me I would wipe all of the macs we own and replace them with Ubuntu... even the most minor of tasks always require some sort of workaround with them... at my wits end here ).

Yeah this definitely appears to be a problem specifically with this mac. It's been having all sorts of weird problems lately, and we figured that upgrading to Maverick might fix them (but instead we got new problems).
To give an update on this, I ended up reformatting one of the drives to HFS+ and disabled journaling. It now recognizes the drive again, and I'm pulling the files off that way. I looked at exFAT, but it looks like HFS+ has much better Linux support (Windows is read-only but that's only a minor annoyance, as the algorithms to process the data only run on UNIX machines anyways). It's a shame I couldn't keep using NTFS (had to copy over literally EVERYTHING again...) but whatever. Again, no solution for the issue (where this mac can't read NTFS drives).
@rkaufmann87 - To give a bit more explanation, we recently had to disable online backups because apparently the sheer amount of data causes Time Machine to freeze the computer and fail every time it has a scheduled backup (original issue we thought that upgrading to Maverick would solve... didn't work). The hard drive has been having a lot of issues when it begins to reach max capacity as well. So I am pulling off all of my files to external hard drives and deleting the local copy before we attempt to back up online again. And the data would probably take me a year and a lot of money to recreate (for the curious, it's high throughput sequencing data). I'm choosing not to take any chances as a result.

After upgrading to OS X Mavericks, the recovery partition boot return with error

After upgrading to Mavericks, i tried to boot from recovery partition, but when it's booting error message coming up that i can not boot and show me options to view the log but only for 1 sec and then the mac reboot automaticly and i could not view the log. How can i fix the recovery partition?

RDC for MAC cannot connect to TS server with error message "You were disconnected from the Windows-based computer because of problems during the licensing protocol".

the mac clients are running RDC for mac version 2.1 and they cannot connect to Windows 2008 R2 TS server. They get the error "You were disconnected from the Windows-based computer because of problems during the licensing protocol".
really appreciated if someone have a fix for this.
thanks,

Hey,
Any proposed answer for this ?
I face the same problem and my environment
and I've got same results as dle2k
1. TS lic mode is set to per user confirmed it works for windows clients.
2. the TS server's system log logged error "The Terminal Server security layer detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the client".
3. the reports shows per user cal has been issued to users. no temp per device cal has been issued.
4. yes, CoRD works .
5. we tried version 2.1.1 of the Mac RD Client but it also does not work.

i got below error message
There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient’s email server. Please contact your system administrator.
<xxxx.net #5.5.0 smtp;550-Please turn on SMTP Authentication in

Error 5: Access is Denied While using OSCDIMG to create Winpe x86 ISO with Deployment Tools Command Prompt

Technician computer is Windows 7 HP x64.
Running latest version of WAIK.
Goal: To make a Winpe disc for each processor architecture (AMD64, x86, IA64) with an included Gimage.exe using this code for the default startnet.cmd file found in system32 directory of winpe boot.wim
wpeinit
if /i %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==amd64 (
cd x64
start gimagex.exe
if /i %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==ia64 (
cd x64
start gimagex.exe
if /i %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==x86 (
cd x86
start gimagex.exe
These are the commands I have processed for the x86 variant:
copype x86 c:\pe\x86\
Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\pe\x86\winpe.wim /index:1 /mountdir:C:\mount
**It is at this point I copy over my x86 folder, x64 folder, and overwrite the startnet.cmd file.
dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C:\mount /commit
oscdimg -n bc:\pe\x86\etfsboot.com c:\pe\x86\iso c:\pe\x86.iso
^^It is at this command I receive this error:
ERROR: Could not delete existing file "c:\pe\x86\iso"
Error 5: Access is denied.
Please note that all commands before were hand-typed, no copy or pasting from any directory or .chm
One thread referred to some Application Management service, but I can report that there is no such service installed in my machine.
Thank You!
UPDATE:
I copied the winpe.wim file from the x86 root directory into the iso directory and renamed it to boot.wim Now, if I copy the contents to a flash drive and put it into a client
computer, it boots to the PE perfectly, script and all.
However, when trying to use the oscdimg command, I do get an .iso successfully, but when I burn it, I don't know what to do in the way of boot options, and if I keep defaults (imgburn)
it results in an un-bootable dvd.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Don't copy and paste instead type manually it will work.
[email protected]
OMG! Yes, you are correct ... but I have no idea why! I retyped the command line:
oscdimg -n -be:\winpe_amd64\etfsboot.com e:\winpe_amd64\ISO e:\winpe_amd64\winpe_amd64.iso
into Notepad, and then pasted it into the Command Prompt, and it worked!
Perhaps there must be some hidden characters included when pasting directly, even though I first pasted the command line into Notepad, and then into Command Prompt
(C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools>).
I had to retype the command line in Notepad before copying and pasting, before it would work.
Wow, thanks!

Cannot start VM - IDE Emulator Failed to Power on with Error 'The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.'

HI all.
New install of 2008R2 on HP DL-380 G6. I have created (several) VM's none of which will start. If I remove the IDE Hard Disk and add a DVD of the OS ISO, it will boot and start the install (although with no HDD).
It seems like the IDE controller is working ok - it is what the DVD drive is using, but it cannot mount a VHD. The error indicates a driver is not working (although the DVD on IDE works fine) so something to do with VHD? I can attach the VHD
in disk management, so it does not seem corrupt - again I have tried with both dynamic and fixed VHDs.
Full error is:
'Test1' failed to start. (Virtual machine ID 4320D2D6-DF7E-40D2-BD0F-9562CBB9F052)

Any Ideas?

Hi ,
Did you try to disable the services , if they are exsit :
HP Smart Array SAS/SATAEvent notification
HP Insight storage agents
Then restart your server .

Look likes , you setup standby on same machine , try init.ora parameter LOCK_NAME_SPACE. Also make sure you use standby control file for standby database.

Invalid checksum or cannot mount image errors with disk copy

I just upgraded my B/W G3 from OS9 to OS X.2 and only have Internet explorer 5.1 for Mac for internet browsing. I can't even access the Apple downloads page and alternate browsers download as .dmg files. When I click the download I am prompted to pick a location....(I tried to open the files directly through applications/disk copy and that option is grayed out; I can only save files to the desktop) so I saved the files to desktop and when I try to use disk copy to open them, I get either invalid checksum or cannot mount image errors. I am a brand new Mac user and understand this is not Windows and all and I understand the process of dragging the icon to the apps folder, but I can't get that far, I am getting these errors and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, the icon that appears on the desktop after the download is an image of a hard drive, but on a sheet of paper, not an image of a hard drive itself.
I think this has to do with the errors, but don't know where to go from here. Any suggestions?

a few updates-corrections:
I am running OS 10.1 with the latest update being 10.1.5
I have upgraded the RAM to 896 mb with some memory chips I got from Ebay...worked like a charm!
The only browser I can get to install and run is Camino, which crashes sometimes but is way better than IE5 for Mac
The majority of downloads I find on the internet stil give me the cannot mount image error
I tried the firmware update but it wants OS9 installed....but I am pretty sure I ran that before I installed OS 10.1.....OS9 still exists on my hard drive, but is not accessable in 10.1
When I can get an image mounted, a lot of times the program loads in the dashboard, but immediately closes out
With all these issues, I am considering upgrading to OS 10.4 but am hesitant since I don't know if that is the core problem
This old Mac is really cool and a refreshing change from Windows and I don't want to give up on it, but I don't want to keep spending money on things that don't work.

Thinkpad 10 SCCM 2012 R2 x64 WINPE OSD boot wim

Trying to inject drivers in to my CM12 x64 boot wim (ADK and MDT 2013 integration with CM12) for the new Thinkpad 10 Tablet. The x86 worked flawlessly and touch screen works on the x86 builds even my S1 Yoga. Errors galore with the x64 versions of the drivers from the SCCM pack. Being UEFI boot only both versions are needed and not all my locations will have the dock for using a keyboard so touch just needs to work.
Here is what successfully got added,the 2 display drivers and thats it. I started with all the drivers and worked in reverse by removing each driver after every error.
from SCCM:

Any help is appreciated and parkerj, as usual I am willing to be your huckleberry if needed. On a unrelated item any tips for removing the lenovo scup data from my wsus/scup environment? We had an issue and now i cannot publish the data. Whick makes me sad as I think the Lenovo SCUP catalog shows good progress. Primary issue is knowing what applies to what without publishing everything.

Hi,
UEFI BIOS Version: GWET23WW (1.23)
I have managed to implement drivers in a different way. I have created a package containing all drivers and placed it in a part of task sequence running inside installed operating system instead of running in WinPE. There is a script inside a package looking like this:
Start /w .\win\Chipset\setup.exe -s
Start /w pnputil -i -a .\WIN\TXEI\INF\TXEI.inf
Start /w setup.exe -SILENT
Start /w .\WIN\Audio\setup.exe /s
Start /w .\WIN\Bluetooth\setup.exe /s
Start /w .\WIN\Fingerprint\WBF_SPI_DDK_Extended_Setup.exe /s
Start /w .\WIN\GPS\setup.msi /qn
Start /w .\HOTKEY\setup.exe /S /B /H
pnputil -i -a .\WIN\MONITOR\TPLCD.INF
Start /w .\WIN\NFC\setup.exe /s
Start /w .\WIN\PMDriver\setup.exe -S -SMS
Start /w .\WIN\WLAN\setup.exe -s

For anyone interested just make sure you follow correct paths to executables as presented in this script.
After running it I am left with Security Device unrecognized in Device Manager so I have to add another task sequence for Restart and than another one with a line with a package for Security Device and runing this as a command: pnputil -i -a TXEI.inf
Using regular pre-driver deploy task sequence commands in WinPE enviorenment unfortunately didn't helped so I have ended with workarounds presented here.
If anyone can add something to this I will be more than glad to hear.

Disk Utility says everything's fine, but Install disk doesn't find my internal drive as a possible destination. When I startup with Command S, I get a looping "cannot mount errno = 19" message.

Disk Utility says everything's fine, but Install disk doesn't find my internal drive as a possible destination. When I startup with Command + S, I get a looping "cannot mount errno = 19" message.
Problem started when I used Tech Tool Pro 6 to "de-fragment volume". Had to cancel that process before it finished because I ran out of time. Thereafter, when I startup my machine normally, I get the gray Apple logo at first, but it changes to a prohibited symbol (circle with a slash thru it) and hangs.
When I startup holding the Option key, I can see my internal drive, but I get the same results as above.
When I startup using the MacBook OSX Install DVD, it does not find my internal drive as possible destination.
When I startup using the MacBook OSX Install DVD and then run Disk Utility, it finds my drive, allows me to "repair" and says everything is fine.
When I startup with Command + S, I get a looping error message "errno = 19" and cannot stop it to do anything else.
When I startup from Disk Warrior v4.4, it does not find my internal drive to do any repairs.
When I startup from Tech Tool Pro 6 and run the "computer check" diagnostics, everything passes but the Volume Structure, which fails at "Volume Extents (B-tree)." When I use TTP's "Tools" option to run "volume repair" it will show my internal drive and allow me to click the GO button, but nothing happens and nothing changes.
I have a Time Machine backup on an external USB drive, but for as long as the internal drive doesn't mount, I can't use the backup to restore.

It's a false report and should be ignored.
I would not rely on TT as I've already said earlier even before Grant posted similar advice.
I really think the Rigid Disk Block may be corrupted. This holds the partition map and could prevent a volume from being unmounted. Unfortunately, there is no way to fix that without repartitioning the drive which will remove everything. So, before going down this road I hope you have backups or can make a backup.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X.
5. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
