You may have to see about using the Recovery HD partition to attempt to erase and restore useful function of the capacity lost to the former Windows installation.
And you may have to backup your contents outside the computer to do it. Disk Utility on the Mac OS X historically has not been able to touch a BootCamp created partition; so if BootCamp cannot remove it, then you have to see how to do the equivalent of a reformat of the entire drive (less Recovery partition?) then reinstall your OS X. Maybe from internet recovery, then get your applications, etc from the Mac App store, etc.
A complete system clone of your OS X on an external HDD would be another method to restore after reformat, of the portion you want whole again, not necessarily the space where Recovery may live.
There may be (an)other way(s).
Perhaps someone with recent experience
in this matter can reply & discuss options.
With my antiques, they almost know what I want before I tell them.
Hopefully yours will after you talk to it awhile.
Good luck & happy computing!

Hey. I want to install windows 8 32bit on my mac pro (mid 2012). I upgraded the windows 7 I already had, but now I dont have drivers at all... I searched drivers for the windows 8 32 bit but couldn't find any... Any solutions guys?

Hey everyone,
I want to install windows 8 32bit on my mac pro (mid 2012). I upgraded the windows 7 I already had, but now I dont have drivers at all...
I searched drivers for the windows 8 32 bit but couldn't find any...
Any solutions guys?
Thanks a lot.
Sincerely,

There's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
2) Press Next
3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
5) Insert USB drive
6) Press CONTINUE
The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
Anyway, hope this post helps ;-)

Call Task Sequence at the end of a task sequence

Hi
I have SCCM 2012 R2 with many task sequence.
It's possible at the end to task sequence to call another task sequence? If yes, do you a link to explain that?
Thanks

The TechNet documentation has the bascis:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh846237.aspx#BKMK_InstallApplication (expand Details).
You simply need to populate the task sequence variables with the values corresponding to the applications or packages you want to install. This can be done in a variety of methods including directly assigning them to a collection or device, using a script,
or the built-in set task sequence variable step.
It all depends on how the task sequence is informed which path to take.

"Welcome to the Task Sequence Wizard" never shows on PXE boot, but does on Boot Media with prestart command

Hey guys, I have a fairly odd situation here. I have all OSD Task Sequence advertisements set to "PXE and Boot Media (hidden)" and all are optional
(not mandatory). I use a powershell form via prestart command to give the user a choice which limits what task sequences they choose. When everything is working, this process works. Unknown desktop-class systems see desktop task sequences,
and server-class systems see server task sequences.
Here's where it's different when I use different boot methods:
Boot Media
"Welcome to the Task Sequence Wizard" is presented. User hits or clicks Enter.
Powershell form is presented; user picks their task sequence
Confirmation screen is presented with the task sequence they selected (this is an OSD screen the same size as the "Welcome to the Task Sequence Wizard"
screen.
Dependency check screen is shown with a progress bar. If a package is missing from a DP, it will display an error here with the PackageID. This
looks the same as "Regular" OSD with standard non-hidden advertisements.
PXE Boot
"Welcome to the Task Sequence Wizard" is never displayed.
Powershell form is the first screen they see. They select it and it continues.
No confirmation screen is presented if the system is known; if it is an unknown system, a small dialog says there is a
*mandatory* task sequence about to be run and it will run in 180 seconds. Users can hit enter.
No dependency check screen is shown; and if a package was missing, instead of presenting an error, it simply reboots. However, if everything is there,
the process starts successfully.
While I have no problems with the first window never being displayed, not displaying the error dialog and simply rebooting is what is bothersome to me.
99% of our builds are from PXE boot.
Again, these task sequences are all 100% optional, NOT mandatory, and I've double checked this multiple times. Can anyone explain why we get different
behavior between boot media and PXE boot? Any way of getting PXE boot to "mimic" the Boot media behavior?
I followed the guide here:
http://www.mydreampage.net/2012/09/21/how-can-i-deploy-a-hidden-task-sequence-in-configuration-manager-2012-sp1/
If you see the image here:
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/uploads/monthly_09_2012/post-1-0-29840100-1348236179.png
You'll see the "Retrieving policy for this computer..." dialog box - I never get that with PXE - just Boot Media.
Note that I am running 2012 R2, not 2012 SP1 - but I never got a chance to test this process with SP1.
Upon further experimentation, the "hidden" task sequence has nothing to do with this. If I change it to a normal, non-hidden advertisement, as
long as the "prestart" command in the boot image is used, we don't get those missing dialog boxes at all, with PXE.

Are both boot images the same for PXE and the boot media? Same package ID and all?
Boot media for us always shows the task sequence wizard first, while PXE always displays the pre-start command first.

Download content locally when needed by running task sequence functionality with Windows PE.

I am trying to understand what happens when the "Download content locally when needed by running task sequence" option in chosen on a task sequence deployment. My assumption is that any needed packages would not be identified
and downloaded until task sequence is kicked off.
Using task sequence boot media, it looks likes a package has been obtained before any task sequence has been selected. I am assuming the package was acquired during the WinPE boot process. Can anyone confirm that this is
the correct behavior when using the "Download content locally when needed by running task sequence" option? If not, how would WinPE be obtaining the PS100292 SCCM package?
This specific package contains and HTA file. Only one of several task sequences deployed to the All Unknown Computers make a call to the HTA file. The one that does, the HTA call is the very first step of the task sequence.

Hi everyone! I figured what was going on here. I was using an ESX VM and the package was stored on the c:\ from previous attempts and troubleshooting. Long story short, I had to rip the HDD from the VM and add a new one to set every thing back.

How to re-distribute a Task Sequence to the Distribution Point.

Hi, All
I am new to Administering SCCM 2012. I have followed the instructions on this forum carefully and it has
helped me.
I created a TS and for some reason I delete it. But when I created the New Task Sequence it will not allowed
me to re-distribute the content to the old DP where the previous one was.
I went to the Technet site and it says that.
Important
If the task sequence that you selected references content that is already distributed to a specific distribution point, that distribution
point is not listed by the wizard.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh273490.aspx
This is because when I resend or deploy the job to the laptop I keep getting this error " The Task Sequence
cannot be run because the program files associated with "CHM00008"cannot be found on the distribution Point". But I know is on the DP. I have updated it and redistribute it. I can browse to it.
And help to show me how to re-distribute the TS to the DP will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
KKA

A task sequence itself cannot be distributed to a DP, but the associated content can.
Have you configured a network access account? Double check if CHM00008 is deployed with 100% success.

I am having trouble opening links from websites I am currently on. The window will pop up but the content is blank. What should I do?

I do not know if this is a result of something I did, or something that happened when I updated Firefox. Any help would be appreciated as I really need the windows to show the content I want to see. An example of what I am talking about:
I was on Verizon's website and I wanted to sign up for more information on the iPhone. When I typed in my e-mail address and hit the submit button, another screen pops up and where there would be a web address, it says "Search Bookmarks and History" but will not show me the content.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

I tried from icloud , but wouldnt work, just kept prompting me for apple id which I did w password but didn't reccognise it and so I went back and restored from itunes , plugged in and just keeps walking me thrigh the same set up steps. I am really technologically challenged, clearly, and this gets more confusing because I also got a time machine and have been in the process of backing up my macbook pro and devices. I have the ethernet cord plugged into my macbook and everything because I am affraid its not fully finished setting that whole time machine thing up. Maybe when I had to set up my time capsule wifi name? is this the reason my apple id isnt getting recognized? I'm so frustrated and must have a working cell phone. Plwasw will someone help this girl out??

If the device is not being detected in iTunes, has a different USB port or sync cable been tried? What about a reboot of the comptuer?
As for pictures/videos taken with the device, they are designed to be copied to a computer on a regular basis. Did you choose to not do this prior to attempting the update? They may be lost at this point (although they should be in the backup, but no guarantees).
