Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Installing Windows OS via PXE SCCM
Hello everyone,
I have 2 Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro here in our company environment, because our CEO really like using touchpads with pens =).
Since the Yoga 2 does not have a LAN connector i have been unable to install windows via our SCCM Server.
I contacted telephone support and basically got told, this is a consumer device and pxe is not prossible. Which seems weird since there are pxe drivers and a management driver pack for the yoga 2 available.
What I tried this far.
Use the One Dock -> Doesnt recognize lancard
Use USB Networdcard Startech USB21000S2 (7500 chipset) -> Not recognised by BIOS
Use pptical boot media -> boots to pxe environment but cant connect to the server and aborts
SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4
OS to install: Windows 7 Ent
All standard and pxe drivers are incorporated into the install image.
Does anybody know, if or how it is possible to get this Notebook integrated in my SCCM environment?
Thanks in advance
Hi Jerry133, welcome to the forums,
the following thread may be of interest to you; it would appear the USB ethernet dongle for the ThinkPad X1 Carbon works with the Yoga 2 Pro for PXE boot.

The part number for the dongle is 4X90E51405 and should be the first article on the following page;

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?
I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

Problem installing Windows 8 via Bootcamp on MacBook Pro 13 (late 2009).
Hello,
I've installed Windows 8 Pro on my MacBook Pro 13 (Late 2009) which does not support Windows 8. I've started installing Windows 7 via Bootcamp, then interupted the installation and pluged-in the Windows 8 Disk, and after formating the partition, I've installed Windows 8 64-Bit.
Here is the problem. The Windows works fine, BUT after restart when I hold 'Alt' and choose EFI Boot (Windows 8's partition), Windows 8 starts loading but then suddenly there is a white flash and it restarts again. So after shut down or restart I cannot boot it.
Do you think that this is because I do not have Bootcamp installed on the Windows 8?
I've downloaded the supported software for Windows 8, but when I click setup.exe, it is giving me the following error:
This version of Bootcamp is not intended for this computer model. I've been trying to install it for more than 78 hours, so I'll be extremely gratefull to whoever help me. Thank you in advance.
P.S. Mac OS X partition boots fine.If it is really not possible, I get it. But there are plenty of people that are running Windows 8 on the same model, that is powerfull enough to run Win 8. I'm actually running it, but until shut down or restart . Can't I edit Info.plst file alternative for Windows 8 like I did to allow BootCamp to image burn my USB on my model? I mean my model is same as the next one. I can't see why the drivers for mid 2010, won''t work on mine...

Trouble with Adobe Reader Touch on Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 in tablet mode. Pdf shows up as blank pages.
I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 and when I change it to tablet mode and use the Adobe Reader Touch app, my pdf shows up as a blank page. I have installed other pdfs in the past and those show up fine. However, as of three days ago, whatever pdf I install shows up as blank on my screen. Is there a solution to fix this?
Could you please share your test file?

Unable to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp on MBP mid-2012
Posted here from my original, since the old one was basically in the wrong thread. https://discussions.apple.com/message/25097756#25097756
I have a mid-2012 Macbook Pro 13" with the 2.9ghz i7 configuration, 8gb ram, intel HD 4000, Crucial M4 256gb SSD, and the original 750gb hard drive that was included in the computer. I made the SSD my boot disk.
I've been trying to install Windows 7 via bootcamp for a few days now. The first time I tried it I walked away from the computer after it got to the "Copying files" part of the windows 7 installation so I wasn't able to see what went wrong. When I try to start the computer it goes to the blank DOS screen (or terminal, whatever you prefer to call it) with the flashing cursor for text but I cannot enter anything and it just sits there. So I figured something may have gone wrong with the installation and I tried to do it again.
I re-wiped my 8gb flash drive, redownloaded the boot camp support files, and again started the installation with windows 7. The first time I tried it I had to reformat the "BOOTCAMP" partition that it had created on my SSD because it wouldn't write to it as it was not formated in NTFS. I spared 60gb for the Windows boot. So after reformatting I went through with the installation again. Now I get to the screen where it asks me what username, etc. After I finish entering in my credentials it starts to say "preparing desktop" and then I hear a loud CLICK and the entire machine just reboots and takes me back to the blinking cursor. Is this a common problem when trying to install windows? Thanks!Have you modified BC Info.plist? Can you verify that you a valid ISO using Microsoft FCIV tool?
Your Windows 7 USB should have a directory structure similar to the following. -
Error installing windows xp via bootcamp
Hi guys,
I just bought my macbook pro yesterday and I tried to install windows xp via bootcamp and after the installing it says "setup is starting windows" and then an error saying "session3initializationfailed" came out.
I downloaded windows xp sp3 from my university and burn it into a disk.
Can anybody tell me what's going on or what did i do wrong?
ThanksGreetings Appelonians
I am privileged to have attained a brand new Macbook Pro 2010. I am not completely new to Apple and have used 'boot camp' on my other iMac's have have owned previously. In the process of installing Windows XP on the new Macbook Pro, I came upon a few challenging errors, some I have solved, but others getting the best of me at them moment. I am going to run through my situation I am at the moment, starting with my initial challenge, the solutions I came up with and at last the cul de sac I am at the moment.
The family of errors all evolved with me trying to install Windows XP on my Mac
A) Windows on my Macbook
1) I used Boot Camp to create a 50gm partition for Windows XP.
2) I booted up with the WinXP Install CD (original)
3) Deleted the Boot Camp Partition, recreating it and formatted it as NTFS.
4) Rebooted and got my first error after choosing to have the Macbook reboot with the newly installed WinXP partition.
Error
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<windows_root>\System32\hal.dll
Please re-install a copy of the above file.
windows_root\System32\hal.dll missing or corrupt:
Please re-install a copy of the above file.
Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem.
Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware.
Please check the Windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information.
Error Fix
1) I used a Bootdisk created by BartPE and changed a line in the Boot.ini file. Apparently this issue is due to the fact that the Macbook Pro has a 200Mb partition, the Boot.ini refers incorrectly to the wrong partition when trying to complete the WinXP installation after rebooting.
2) I changed the line in the Boot.ini that refers to the partition as 3 to 2 (see bold below):
[quote][boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect [/quote]
3) This fixed the issue and Windows started after the reboot, remember still that my WinXP installation is still incompete.
B) Blue Screen of Death
1) During the WinXP run screen, my second error popped up as one of the dreaded [URL="http://justasktheitguy.com/software/blue-screen-unmountablebootvolume-stop-0x000000ed-0xaaaaaaaa0xbbbbbbbb0xcccccccc0xdddddddd/"]Blue Screen of Death[/URL], as found at the mentioned link.
2) It seems that this error is caused by a problem with an IDE cable or the BIOS in which case you just replace the cable or reload the fail-safe default settings in the BIOS. However, most of the time this error is caused by some sort of problem with the volume.
3) I booted again with my boot disk and ran 'chkdsk -r' and there after 'fixboot' to fix any errors regarding the volume of the HDD. (Fix can be found at the above mentioned 'Blue Screen of Death' link.)
4) Now I know that Mac does not use a BIOS but a EFI and this is where I am stuck.
All I need is to get WinXP installed properly on my New Macbook Pro. I had no trouble installing WinXP on my other iMacs and this has been the first time I had this issue. I do own a copy of Parallels, but I would like to run WinXP on a seperate partition with the option of either booting up with WinXP as well as using WinXP as Virtual Machine in Snow Leopard.
Hope some one out there can assist me, please. -
Installing Windows XP via Bootcamp 3.0
Hi everyone! Hope you can help me with this:
I was trying to install Windows XP Profesional with SP 3 included on my MBP 13" 2011 but after creating the partition Boot Camp warns me that it only support Windows 7 editions. Does this mean I can't install Windows XP via Boot Camp or that I just need to search the drivers on my own, assuming they aren't on my Mac DVD? I already have a Windows XP copy on a CD so I don't want to spend money on Win 7.
Regards,
GuidoXP is not supported on the newer Macbook Pros. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4410
You could use a VM like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox to install XP SP3. -
Installing Windows Xp via Bootcamp
I recently decided to install windows Xp via BootCamp on my MacBook Pro and ran into a problem after the Blue screen asked me if i would like to install Windows XP now. It appears that my keyboard is unresponsive. What I'm asking for is help to either get the Windows Xp disc out and pretend this never happened or to finish the installation. Thanks in advance!
Having same problem, but I see this question was posted in August! Any progress made?

Error 0x80070017 when installing Windows 7 via Boot Camp...
I've been trying hard to research this issue and haven't come across anything that has worked for me.
At work, we have an iMac (Early-2009) that we wish to install Windows 7 on. Previous user has left, so I reinstalled Snow Leopard (10.6) and used Disk Utility from the disc to reformat complete to GUID single partition Mac OS Extended (Journaled), which is pretty standard for Macs. Mac OS X installed and booted just fine. I updated completely to 10.6.8 and all other updates. Only installed Microsoft Office 2011 and Firefox.
So Boot Camp begins...
Found that the early-2009 model doesn't "support" Windows 7 64-bit, so we are fine going with 32-bit. The 32-bit Windows 7 disc has been used to install Windows 7 using Boot Camp on 2 Mac Mini's (one Intel Core Duo, the other one Intel Core 2 Duo) just a few days ago.
Opened Boot Camp Assistant, partitioned the 1TB drive equally, inserted the Windows 7 disc, and clicked Restart.
It boots from the Windows 7 disc, I go through the options, choose the BOOTCAMP partition and format it (I assume Windows 7 is choosing NTFS for me). Click next.
It copies the files instantly, but then "begins" to Expand the files. It remains at 0% for 5-10 minutes (I can hear the Windows 7 DVD spin down and spin up, but mostly spin down). That's when the error hits:
"Windows cannot copy files required for installation. The files may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070017"
I click Ok and cancel the install. Restart and boot back into Mac OS X. And here I am.
Important Notes:
I've tried multiple times with a 64-bit disc as well. I will likely go check out another 32-bit disc from our software department, but I know this disc works on other Macs.
This issue occurred a month back as well when we attempted to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp (so before the hard drive and OS were reformatted and reinstalled). I was hoping reformatting and reinstalling the Mac OS X would solve the issue.
The Superdrive appears to be working just fine.
I read somewhere that I need to use repair disk to fix it. Does anyone know if I can repair disk a NTFS partition? Or am I suppose to repair disk the parent drive itself? The place I read it wasn't specific AT ALL and the forum was closed and I couldn't find a way to get a hold of the person. It just said "Repair disk did the trick". People, if you find a solution to your own problem, POST the solution!
Thanks in advance!Yea, I saw that kb article. I verified we have the early 2009 iMac. It's an iMac 9,1 (3.06 24-inch, A1225).
As far as different hardware, I really don't think so, but I'll have to double check with my fellow employees. The specs all match up, but I'll see if anyone remembers having to replace hardware or send it into Apple.
I did think of trying an external DVD drive too, I'll see if I can scrounge one up. I'll post if it works or not.
The employee using the machine knows Windows, but is willing to learn the Mac OS X. Diversify your experiences I always say!
An added note to the Repair Disk "solution". Turns out you can't run Repair Disk on NTFS partitions or the parent hard drive that contains that partition, which makes since. I can only run Repair Disk on the HFS+ partition which did no good. (This is, of course, from booting up using a Mac OS X Install DVD).
Mac_Win, thanks for the suggestions! -
Installing Windows 7 via Bootcamp on Snow Leopard. No Disc Drive.
Hi all,
I have a White macbook late 2006 model. The superdrive in it has failed and I'm trying to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp. I downloaded an open source app called rEFit that allows me to boot to a usb drive. I created the boot camp partition using boot camp and I chose the Quit and Install Later option on boot camp. BTW I have Mac OSX 10.6.8 using Boot Camp 3.0.4. I restart and go to boot to the usb drive and it gives me the no bootable drive error. The usb drive was created as a bootable usb drive using a macbook air using an windows 7 iso in boot camp. Does anyone know anyway that I can get windows 7 installed on this macbook via bootcamp. Virtualization software (ie VMware Fusion, Parallels, etc) is not an option (CS 6 will slow the computer to a halt if I attempt to run it in virtual machine of windows). Any and all help will be appreciated.Sorry I didn't respond sooner....Hurricane Irene knocked out all our power
The initial install (at least for most of the reboots) does correctly reboot to Windows. However, towards the end of the Windows setup, where Windows is fully functional but is configuring itself, you may accidentally boot into OS X. Once you get Apple's Boot Camp drivers installed, you can set the target disk for a reboot, so that you don't need to hold down alt/option. In addition, you can also set the target disk in Lion via System_Preferences>System>Startup_Disk.
Unfortunately, the excellent boot manager rEFIt doesn't work with Lion (because of the hidden partition that Lion adds). Maybe they'll get it working soon, then you can use it and not worry about holding down alt all the time. -

If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
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. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. 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.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Installing Windows 7 via Bootcamp with OS X Lion
Hi all,
I have just bought a new 21.5 inch iMac preinstalled with SL and have the Install DVD for 10.6.7.
I have recently upgraded to Lion OS X (eligible for free download due to recent purchase of the iMac), but now want to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp. As I understand it, I have to reinstall the drivers for Windows 7 to work, but I only have the DVD for SL, not Lion.
Can you advise on how to get around this? Can I save the drivers for Lion on a blank DVD - if so where do I find the files? If I'm right, I think I select 'Download the windows support software for this mac' option when I first go in to Bootcamp and have a blank DVD in the drive. Then I can use the DVD as if it were a Lion Install DVD - is this correct?
Think I also need a USB wired mouse as wireless is disabled when installing windows.
Thanks for your timeSorry I didn't respond sooner....Hurricane Irene knocked out all our power

Time Machine stuck at "Looking for backup disk" after installing Windows 8 via Boot Camp
I've been backing up via Time Machine to an external USB drive and it's been working fine. I recenty installed Windows 8 via Boot Camp and now TM gets stuck forever at "Looking for backup disk...".
I've tried the following, to no avail:
Using "Select Disk" in TM preferences to re-select the disk
Deleting /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
Running system maintenance via Onyx
Resetting PRAM
Formatting the drive and setting it up for TM backups again
The Boot Camp partition is on the same drive as OS X (on a 180GB Intel 330 series SSD). During the Windows installation I re-formatted the partition as NTFS.
If I start OS X in Safe Boot mode, TM backups work. In Safe Boot mode, the NTFS partition isn't loaded so I suspect it has something to do with this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.I installed Paragon NTFS for Mac and it started working all of a sudden.
