Installing Windows 8.1 on a S30 Workstation

Hi, I really need help here because I am trying to install Windows 8.1 on a S30 Workstation and I allways get no hard disk present on the installation, I already tried other forums with disk controller drivers but windows installation just keep saying there's no disk.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For Windows 8.1 installation, you'll need the Intel RSTe driver (http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/workstations/thinkstation-s-series-workstations/thinkstatio...). Extract the .zip package to your memory key and during the Windows 8.1 install, you'll want to browse for this driver manually to find the disk. Browse to the 'RSTe f6 Drivers Staging' -> 'RSTe_3.7.0.1093_F6-drivers' -> 'RSTe_f6_iaStorS_win8_64'

Install Windows 7 to VM Using VMWare Workstation and WDS

you do it the exact same way you would do any other computer the only diference this is a virtual computer pretty much what MrAdam said

You might consider building your reference image using windows MDT and then if you need it deploy with WDS. MDT also supports image deployment if you are doing a lower quantity deployment. You can install MDT on Windows 7 pro if necessary. Just be aware of the maximum simultaneous connection limit. If you are deploying one, two or three systems at a time MDT on windows 7 works just fine. MDT uses WDS as it's deployment component, it does handle driver deployment better though.

You want to install AD on an Internet Server?
According to your description your server has one public IP-address and
no internal IP-address and you want to install AD on this Internet
server?? Is that correct??
Can you tell us the intended use of this server. Do you want to host
services on this server, which need AD authentication?
If you have a second NIC and your DC is on another local machine I
would not expose your local AD on an public accessible server. If this
server shall become a DC it should not have more than one IP-address.
If you want to access data on this server via Internet securely I would
recommend a VPN solution - preferably not running on the server itself
but on a separate firewall between the server and the internet. In this
case I would have no see a big security problem running AD on this
server.

How to install Windows 7 in UEFI modeand what bios settings for D30

How do you install windows 7 in UEFI mode and what bios settings do I need to install it on a D30 workstation.

Not a ThinkStation guy, but FWIW, that can happen when installing Win 7 in UEFI mode when CSM support is not enabled in BIOS.
Is CSM support - either explicit or by selecting "other OS" and turning UEFI back on as suggested above - an option?

Installing Windows 7 With Boot Camp on Mac Pro 3.1 w/GTX285 Video card

I have an Early 2008 Mac Pro 3.1 running the latest version of OS 10.6 with all updates. I have an nVidia GTX285 card installed in the Mac Pro that has been working fine for at least six months under OS 10.6 with Mac drivers downloaded from the nVidia web site and installed under OS 10.6. I replaced the ATi 2600XT video card with the nVidia GTX285 in order to have CUDA support in Premier Pro CS 5 and it works beautifully.
I now wish to install Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on this Mac Pro. I have never had any version of Windows installed on this Mac Pro. I am using Boot Camp assistant and a new full version of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
My question is do I need to remove the GTX 285 graphics card and replace it with my AT 2600XT before installing Windows 7? This would be a real pain to do because the two connectors to the motherboard are hard to get to. However, since Apple never used the GTX285 in any of its computers, I am worried that I will not have any video display when I go to try and install Windows 7 with Boot Cam assistant.
Please advise me whether removing the graphics card is necessary before installing Windows 7 with Boot Camp.
Thank you in advance for responding.
Tom

NO.... he has a workstation, and not MBP, nor are "drivers already loaded."
How I would proceed -
Install Windows on its own drive.
Pull all the other drives.
Boot from Windows 7 Pro DVD
Forget Boot Camp Assistant, it doesn't do anything - unless you really want to install Windows on the SAME drive as Mac OS - not ideal and not what most of Mac Pro owners do.
Just insert your OS X DVD once Windows is up to date - helps to buy the SP1 OEM version $129.
Run Apple SETUP.exe (Boot Camp 3.0.x drivers) and update with ASU or manually to 3.2.
No you don't need to go back and use that ATI. And you dont' want to be in the situation of changing from ATI to Nvidia and all the hassle that adds. you are fine.
The Mac Pro is as close as anything to a standard Wintel workstation.
Add MS Security Essentials or KIS or whatever you favor. KIS2011 or NIS2011 are good, MSSE 2.0 is free and based on their enterprise product.

Not able to install server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .

Dear Team,
Thanks in advance.
I am facing an issue when installing server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .
This is the error message i get ''windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
i have tried changing the initial install option of OS to ''other''. But still its the same.
Finally i have installed it without adding the OS disk in the initial setup. But the problem here is that its asking me activation key.
if you have the activation key for 180 days please let me know.

I have the same problem here.
With VMWare Workstation 10, downloading and using the Windows 2012 R2 ISO evaluation to test.
Shortly after booting up with the ISO, it complains about this message: ''windows cannot find the microsoft software
license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
BUT, if you uninstall VMWare Workstation 10 and install VMWare Workstation 9, no problem.
Something wrong with either VMWare Workstation 10 or Windows 2012 R2.

Black Screen when trying to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp

Have seen many similar questions with not one solid answer. I have a brand new 17" MacBook Pro with the regular 750 gig grive and a 200 something gig ssd primary drive. Running the latest version of OS X of course.
Updated all of my software and then opened up Bootcamp and partitioed 40 gigs on the SSD drive for Windows 7. Stuck in the disc when it asked me to and clicked continue. It rebooted then immediately went to a black screen and tahts where it stays. I ahve tried both the 64bit and 32bit discs and it does the same no matter which one I use.
How do I get windows 7 to install properly?
Just my luck it says Apple doesnt offer phone support for installing Windows via Bootcamp.

Try using Boot Camp Assistant to remove the Windows volume, then redo it.
Waste of time and don't need to - there are Apple tech support articles
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
There is/was one directed at the iMac w/ black screen.
Using an electronic version, an ISO, bought through school, burned wtih Apple Disk Utility - that has to be burned at slowest reduced burn speed 2X to work - won 't boot, installs but fails during or after, various issues. But you seem to have both, therefore retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium.
Is OS X also on the SSD? 40GB is actually a tight fit for Windows 7 64-bit. I could tell you why but just trust me when you add up page, hibernation, the SP1 update temp space requirment all on top of the 20GB for Windows itself. And then any data, applications, cache files.
I'd disconnect the 750GB drive.
There were updates last week.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/
"Solid answers" - really?
A. there is a forum for Boot Camp
Boot Camp
Another for MacBook Pro
MacBook Pro
http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro
And this one? is for workstations (tower) Mac Pro.
I know some tech articles say Apple only supports installing or using BCA and any issue with Windows is not under their support, though even there the Apple Boot Camp driver support have various issues and more trouble than I would expect or accept to claim "Windows on Mac" can be called supported - it isn't as seamless and of course no hand-holding.
There is one step, feature added to 10.6.6 to "download" and save drivers to CD or flash memory - that has been broken and DOA (MacBook Air does need USB DVD external driver and that works) but having a full Boot Camp 3.2 on a memory stick and not having to go through 3.0 and 3.1 to get to the current supported version of 3.2? that doesn't work at all. - Which has led to 100x posts over "what do I do?" with it in the broken state it is in.
This is an Apple SSD, or 3rd party? The 2011 MacBook Pro has had trouble as it should suppport SATA3 and that was what one of the firmware updates addressed. Performance and lack or presence of TRIM in OS X is another area of concern.

Installing Windows Server 2012 on W510

I realize this is not likely to be a common scenario, nor a supported one. I'm installing Windows Server 2012 (Evaluation edition) on a w510 to use as a learning lab. In case anyone else decides to head down this road I've documented what I've run into so far.
System: Thinkpad W510 43192NU
Upgrades: 16GB RAM, Crucial M4 256GB SSD.
The basic install happened quickly and easily, but as expected there are a couple of driver issues.
Installed Windows Server 2012 Standard 180-day EVAL from DVD (ISO obtained from Technet 10/15/2012)
Installed available Windows Updates (only 2 as of October 25, 2012)

(getting braver here)
Installed Thinkvantage System Update 5.0 for Windows 8 64bit
Ran System Update and it found 3 available items:
Intel Management Engine Interface 6.2 and Serial Over LAN (SOL) driver downloaded and installed
Audio Driver for Windows 8 32/864 <--SIC Downloaded and installed
ThinkVantage Active Protection System (64bit) <-- did not download / unsuccessful
At this point there are also 3 items still listed under "Other Items" in device manager:

At this point I have it where I need it to be. All I want to do is have a stable basic install so I can install Hyper-V and play around with a bunch of VMs. For that I don't really need Bluetooth or enhance power management.

Have you found a solution to the driver issues I mentioned?
I had no issue installing the Windows 7 x64 power management driver and Power Manager. Just keep in mind it is only for control of the CPU clock speed and a few other settings. With Hyper-V installed, you lose sleep/hibernate and resume.
Bluetooth won't work
I never had a use for multcard.
With Windows Server 2012 be happy you have networking and a video driver which are the core things you need. If you want a full on workstation, move to Windows 8 Pro and Hyper-V.

Installing Windows 7 on a current partition in drive bay 3

Hi,
I want to install Windows 7 on my 2011 Macpro. I currently have a 300GB partition I'm not using in drive slot 3 of the computer..
When I open bootcamp to prepare the drive, It tells me I cant do anything with this drive apart from format it and then partition.. Is this necessary given the partition is already there, or can I just use it? If so, do I just need to format it to FAT32, then start the windows 7 installation process outside bootcamp?
Also, it says in the apple bootcamp guide that for Windows 7 to install, the drive with its partition on needs to be in drive slot 1.. Is this true or is it fine where it is?
Finally, it it won't work installing on the about partition, I have a spare 250gb SATA I drive (from an old G5 Powermac).. Can I put this in drive slot 4, format it and install windows on thet? Would it still need to be done through boot camp?
Sorry for all the questions, and thank you in advance,
Tom

Boot Camp Assistant is limited not very forgiving.
Any drive bay is fine, I use #3 but some find #1 or 2 work better.
Remove all the other drives when you do install.
Formatting and having one drive dedicated is much easier. That way you don't even need Boot Camp Assistant other than to download drivers (you aren't on Lion so no).
BCA prepares the partition table. It expects to have GPT and make the protective MBR active and support booting Windows. That is its only real purpose. And is most often used where Mac OS is present on partition.
The partition you had isn't prepared for Windows. You would hve to turn it into an OS X volume only, small perhaps, then use the rest.
Pull your drives and use the 250GB. But do so with just that drive. If you can't then move it.
there is no such thing as a 2011 Mac Pro workstation, although lately they not only ship with Lion (makng it 2011) but the firmware will no longer support downgrading to 10.6.8, that would be "2011."
If you have and want to really support two cpu sockets, then Pro version. And of course 64-bit. So Windows 7 64-bit SP1 System Builder $129 from 'Egg or Amazon if you still need to buy something, or an MSDN account of course.

Installing Windows 7 with .exe file

Hello there.
I partitioned my HD to have at least 30 gigs for Windows, except it doesn't have the option to install with a .exe file.
I'm currently under the microsoft academic alliance and need to emulate windows in order to run a program made only in the windows environment. I downloaded Windows 7 from the MAA site but there seems to be no way to run a .exe during the BootCamp installation process.
So my question is: is there a way that I can install Windows 7 with BootCamp using the .exe download file?
Thank you for your time

Install Windows without network connection

Trying to install Windows 7 Pro on a 2013 MacBook Pro (which I lovingly refer to as a very expensive paper weight).
The tools I have at my disposal:
- Empty usb flash drive
- The latest boot camp software downloaded as a .zip from App Store
- External cd/dvd drive
- Windows 7 Pro installation cd
- .iso image made of installation cd (after I realized its too brain dead to use physical media)
- NO NETWORK CONNECTION. (and this is the show stopper)
Cannot under any circumstances use wireless at the office and wouldn't you know it the machine doesn't come with a wired network adapter. Or a cd/dvd drive. Or a way to connect to a standard workstation monitor. All of those are extra. But I digress.
I've taken the machine home and used my home wireless to download the latest boot camp files (which now reside in the downloads folder as a .zip file). But I'll be damned if I am going to do this work at home in the evenings in my spare time.
So...back in the office with no internet. If I try to create a bootable usb it insists on re-downloading the drivers even though I already have them downloaded. If I manually copy the files over to the usb it balks because the usb drive is already bootable. If I skip the usb drive the windows install balks because it doesn't like the partition created by boot camp. Seriously???
There must be a way to do this. I have all the parts JUST NOT THE INTERNET CONNECTION. As you may have guessed I am a *tiny* bit frustrated at this point.

It has always been possible to activate Windows via telephone (you may have heard of such a device). Do you have anything useful to contribute to the discussion?
Back on topic: It would seem you need an internet connected Mac to create the USB boot drive. Once this is done however it should be possible to use this already created USB boot disk to do an offline install. Haven't tested it yet. Still this requires at least one machine connected to the internet in order to make this work.
