Failed when installing windows and linux on my lenovo laptop E440

Good day, I have a problem with my lenovo Thinkpad E440 Laptop. The laptop and brings the windows installed by default but I need to install linux and also have both systems on the machine. That said I do the preceded the installation of linux and I had not any problem, but when I restart the machine and choose the grub operating system Windows boots the system and everything but the picture does not give me good, I thought it was the d elinux version installed and that it had generated some conflict with windows but I got another and equally the same error, here I leave the image to see what I am talking about ....... you do not help me please.

HT5634 Windows and Linux on a PowerPC G5 1.6 GHz 768 MB RAM, no Intel processor?!!!!!

I have a PowerPC G5 1.6 GHz 768 MB RAM, no Intel processor, and I run OSX 10.5.8. I have installed a 932 Gig slave drive and partitioned it in 4 blocks.
Can I find a Boot Camp version for my computer and install Windows and Linux on my slave drive? How? Please tell me what downloads I need and instruct me. [....and the URLs please]

If you are willing to spend money towards your problem, you are best off purchasing the most modern Intel based Mac that you can afford, albeit perhaps used or reconditioned, and run Windows and perhaps Mavericks there.
Having been a longtime user of Virtual PC on my iMac G5, I would not wish that experience on my worst enemy now that Intel Macs are so prevalent!

Boot camp not recognize keyboard and mouse when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit

Hi,
I have some issue when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit using boot camp. after done partitioning the windows drive and when boot to windows installation process, i've got stuck in the first screen when choosing the language. it seems that the keyboard and mouse are not detected.
i'm using boot camp ver. 5.0.
does anyone have similar problem with me?

I have finally successfully installed Windows 7 x64 on MacBook Air 13.3" (2013) thru Bootcamp.
Problem: After Windows 7 install thru BootCamp, I got to the first login screen and not input devices (Mouse, keyboard, USB) worked. I tried to boot into Windows Safemode, but I received the error "Windows can not complete installation in Safe Mode".
Cause: WIndows 7 does not have native USB 3.0 drivers, included on the install images.
Resolution: I downloaded the latest device drivers with thru BootCamp and copied them to the USB Flash Drive that had my bootable Windows 7 x64 install on it. The second option in BootCamp is "Download Support Media". This does more than just download drivers. It creates a file called "autoattended.xml". This is key as it tells Windows during the install process to use the device drivers that you download. Otherwise, you need to do it manually, which you can't because you have no mouse or keyboard.
NOTE: I had no need of a super drive because I had all the files on one USB flash drive. Therefore, I don't think it matter which side of the MBA the USB drive was plugged in, as other solutions suggested.

Hi Willy,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article below provides information about specific update and restore alerts, including the 9006 alert that you saw when attempting to update your iPad 2 to iOS 8.1. Try using the instructions provided to see if the issue is caused by a conflict with the security software on your computer.
Resolve iOS update and restore errors
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
I hope this helps,

BSOD when installing Windows XP

I have two R500 ThinkPads that came with Vista Home Basic sp1. I need to install Windows XP Pro sp2 on the laptops but I keep getting a BSOD when I boot from the XP installation cd. The BSOD error is:
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF7C04524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
The laptops are both brand new, I did make recovery disks of the vista install, but I really need XP installed on them to work with our system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There's a slightly easier way than slipstreaming.
The issue is that XP doesn't have driver support for the SATA AHCI controller on that system. However, you can download that driver here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70477
You'll need to extract that and put it in the root of a floppy (yeah, a floppy... looking for the A: drive is hardcoded in to the XP install).
When you boot to the XP CD, press F6 when prompted (it'll say "Press F6 to install third-party SCSI controller" or something similar along the bottom).
Windows will load some files and eventually bring you to a screen with a couple of options. It'll tell you your current controller is "<none>" and allow you to press S to specify a driver. Once you do, it'll scan the A drive and load up the entries from the txtsetup.oem file you extracted from the driver.
The selection you want doesn't show up by default. There aren't any scroll bars, but you can scroll through the list using the arrow keys. You want "Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller" which is the 7th from the bottom.
Select that, Windows will load it, the install will continue and you'll be golden.
If you don't want to bother with scrolling, you can open the txtsetup.oem file and find this line (near the top):
[Defaults]
scsi = iaStor_ICH8MEICH9ME
Change that to:
[Defaults]
scsi = iaAHCI_ICH9MEM
And the proper controller will be highlighted by default so you don't have to arrow through the list.
If all of that is too much of a pain, you can go in to the BIOS under Config->SATA and change AHCI to Compatibility and load Windows w/o the IMSM driver. Once Windows is loaded, you can install the driver and enable AHCI mode using the install.cmd file in the PREPARE directory of the driver linked above.
Hope this helps.

Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.). I made a clean installation because I needed to go from 32 bit to 64 bit.
Or should I just update bootcamp in Lion? (cause when I search for "boot camp" in Windows 7 there's no result)

Server 2012 (not R2) RODC fails to install Windows Updates

Good morning all
Since around October, our 80-odd 2012 (non-R2) RODCs have been failing to install windows updates, rolling them back on reboot. Patches that don't require a reboot are fine. The short version is, please log a call with MS and reference this thread, if you're
having this issue as currently they're saying they won't fix this!!
Our product support group opened an official case and reported this with Microsoft and they've found the cause. PLEASE NOTE however, that this relates to RODC and ALL patches failing, not just 3000061 on non-RODC.
There was some chat relevant to this as originally it was thought KB3000061 was to blame, and a few other people had had the same issue there (see links at the bottom). I think however, that this issue now stands alone as any patch we try to install will
fail.

Cause:
The installer uses SAM API calls to manage the group. It always connects to the local SAM instance. The component also handles an uninstall task in the same function. On uninstall the group is being deleted.
So the SAM handle is requested with "Create Group" and "Delete" access.
The error happens because a RODC does not allow any changes and thus returns STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED.
More information about the prevent from accidental deletion feature please refer :

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739350(v=WS.10).aspx
Recommendation:
This is a Bug in the RODC running on server 2012, However you may do an in place upgrade to Server 2012 R2 and then proceed with the installation of the patch.
The bad news is this is fixed in 2012 R2 with a hotfix - but it isn't fixed in 2012 and it won't be because.. they've only had one official report logged. And that was by us. So, if you want this fixed, you need to start logging this with MS now.
What I can say just now is that this isn't related to the registry fixes with WinEVT we've all been trying, it's NOT limited to 2008 that has been upgraded in place to 2012 (our product support group replicated it in the lab with a brand new 2012 promoted
to RODC) and it IS only happening with RODC. Possible fix might be to make your RODC RW for a bit and install your patches then.

The error indicates that IIS is returning a "404 not found" error back to the Windows Update Agent. That might mean that you need to specify the correct port that WSUS is listening on, e.g.:
WSUSServer=http://yourserver:8530

Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. Anyway, i deleted windows and want another OSX on there instead. How do i make this partition bigger please??

Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. I deleted windows after i realised i wasnt enjoying using it at all and wasted my hard drive. I now decided that i want another OSX on there instead yet i have only allowed myself 10 gb on the partition. I have ben thru some programms but am struggling on making this partition bigger.
I only want it at 20gb but cant seem to make the partition bigger, only smaller or split it into further partition.
Is there a way to do this, i have all installation discs from original OSX so think this could help.
Any help please would be fantastic.
Thanks Chris

Hi, dragging the partition will only make smaller, not larger. In disk utility you can only split or make smaller the partitions. Yes i booted from installation disks also but still no help.
And Brody, I am willing to erase the disc completely, infact jus started doing a backup in order to do so but that failed also. And the information you gave on partition a hard drive, Although very simple and i already know how to do this, but it wont let me make the partition bigger, and i dont want to make a new partition, just enlarge the one i already have, which i dont see possible from disk utility.
Getting really frustrated now, even backing up is saying no to me. **** external being a douche.
I dont mind erasing the hard drive but surely this must be doable without deleting the secondary partition back t a single volume, and re partitioning into 2 volumes again.
Thanks again

Executing WINWORD from both Windows and linux using Java

Dear All,
I have a problem when trying to use Runtime class to execute a winword document. My code is as follows.
Runtime r= Runtime.getRuntime();
try{
r.exec("rundll32"+" "+"url.dll,FileProtocolHandler"+" "+"WINWORD"+ " "+"file://C://welkom.doc");
catch(Exception ex){
System.out.println("Unable to open the doc file:"+ex);
When I execute this swing application with the above, the program is unable to open the specific file. And it says "Problem with the short cut, unable to open the file". When I run the program without the file name, it opens a new doc file.
Attn: what I want to do here is I need to open the winword file from both windows and linux. So I cannot use the relative path of the WINWORD.exe file.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bala

If you take a look at the api, there's an exec(String[]) method. This is the one you should use when calling a command with multiple parameters.
so something like...
String[] cmd = new String[] {"rundll32", "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler", "WINWORD", "file://C://welkom.doc"}
r.exec(cmd);

Error when installing windows 7

Hello... When installing Windows 7 Ultimate, I'm getting an error during the windows installation setup. I get the error 0x800024. I choose the correct partition, click install, and this error shows.
I'm on a mac pro and on snow leopard. I have boot camp 3.0.1, which doesn't show windows 7 when it's about to reboot into the installation screen. Is there anything I can do?

Have you looked here?

Supposedly you need BootCamp 3.1 for Windows 7.
On a MacPro you can't have the Mac OS in slot 1 if you going to install Windows on a second drive. Just put the blank one in slot #1 (that you want Windows on) and then Mac OS drive in slot #2, #3 or #4 and it should work then.
Boot Camp can only use up to 2 partitions, Mac as #1 and/or Windows as #2. No 3rd partition. You have to have enough free space to use Boot Camp. If you have a 300 gig disk and you have 200 gigs worth of space used up it will only see the 100 gig of space left. And if it's an old disk you may not have enough CONTINUOUS space for it. The files may be all over and it can't find enough free space.
If on a second (blank) disk what I did was use Disk Utility to format/partition (UFS, Journaled) the whole disk as 1 partition and then let Boot Camp/Windows 7 (I used XP) repartition the disk as NTFS as the first partition (for XP) and left the second (for storage) alone. Or in your case just let Boot Camp/Windows partition it as one NTFS.
You have to tell it which one to use. If you don't have a choice then set the partition larger then 32 gigs then you should only have one choice, NTFS.
The Mac can't write to an NTFS disk so it can't make a NTFS partition. So that is why you just partition it like you would if you were only putting the Mac on it. (On an already blank disk). Then when Boot Camp/Windows takes over then Windows can write the NTFS partition.
The same with a Mac already on a hard drive. 1 partition. Boot Camp/Windows will then make the 2nd partition an NTFS partition (or what ever you want).
Hope this helps....

Dual booting in Windows and Linux, but only Linux has calendar, TB 31.0

I'm dual booting using Linux Mint and Windows 7. I have TB 31.0 installed in each OS. TB in Linux has calendar capability; in Windows, there's nothing (by nothing, I mean no calendars - I can't see their properties, for instance, nor access them in any way).
I should add that both Windows and Linux TB programs are sharing the same profile folder (located on a separate partition), hence, all the same add-ons, passwords, etc.
The error console logs the following:
Timestamp: 14/08/2014 6:41:33 PM
Error: Components.classes[cid] is undefined
Source File: resource://calendar/modules/calUtils.jsm -> file:///P:/PortableApps/ThunderbirdPortable/Data/profile/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/calendar-js/calUtils.js
Line: 17
There are a variety of flow on errors, related to this.
My apologies for posting this in this way; I had intended to submit this via the crashreporter, but I'm having trouble getting the program to crash with this error just now.

A reply to my own question: it turns out that while sharing a profile works pretty well for most purposes, with Lightning it does not, as the extension has different Linux and Windows versions. The problem is solved quite simply: by not using the same profile for each version.
Glad to see that no one wasted time on this one (except me, of course).
