MDT 2010 - Can't install OS on disk 1

Hi
We are running MDT 2010 SP1 at one of our customers, and having problems with Windows 7 installation on a specific model (Lenovo T440). The model comes with two disks:
Disk 0 (SSD) - 14GB
Disk 1 (HD) - 465GB
Our normal task sequence works fine if a machine only has one disk.
I want my OS to be installed on disk 1 and disk 0 empty formatted.
In my task sequence under "New Computer only" I have made two new format steps with a WMI query so it only runs if the machine is a Lenovo T440.
SSD
HD:
And a new step when installing OS with the same WMI query where disk 1 and partition 1 is selected.
But the task sequence install the OS on the SSD Disk (Disk 0) and fails.
Any ideas?
Regards,
FC

Hi Keith
In my current situation I only have one specific model that comes with a different disk layout, so I don't think I have to do a WMI query for which disk I want to install the operating system on. For this machine model it should always be installed on Disk
1.
In my task sequence I already 3 steps that only runs on this model. (based on a WMI query - I query the Win32_ComputerSystem for Model). 2 steps that format and partitions the disks. (Screenshot in my first post) and a step for installing the operating system:
All steps runs, but the OS still installs on Disk 0. And when I look ind c:\MININT\unattened.xml while the "Install Operating System T440 step runs I see the following:
<InstallTo>
<DiskID>0</DiskID>
<PartitionID>1</PartitionID>
</InstallTo>
Could I just set the OSDDiskIndex in my Task Sequence? If yes, where should I put it?
Regards,
FC

  • Satellite M70 - Can't install from recovery disk

    Hi,
    I had to remove the HDD from Toshiba Satellite M70 to use it on my Compaq laptop (Compaq HDD crashed). I had to install XP and other stuff after creating 2 partions and used it with Compaq Laptop without any problem. Now I got a new HDD for compaq and fixed the Toshiba HDD back in.
    Using the recovery CD I wanted to restore the Toshiba to its original state.
    I have the Product recovery DVD-rom. F12 abd selecting cd/dvd would not do the recovery.
    Error loading operating system is the message I get.
    I can even install with my other original XP pro cd.
    Once I put the HDD back to Compaq its working fine, I can even install XP.
    What is the cause. Is it has to do anything with MBR?
    I am very familiar with computers so please give me a way out of this!
    Thank you all,
    Regards,

    Hi
    In my opinion the case is clear. If you can install the notebook with a normal Microsoft installation disk and the HDD works properly in another computer its something wrong with the Toshiba recovery disk, maybe its scratched.
    What you can do is to install the notebook using the Microsoft disk. Then download and install all drivers from the Toshiba website.
    Alternative you order a new recovery disk from an authorized service provider.
    Its your choice what you do. ;)

  • Can't install OSX downloads "Disk doesn't meet requirements"

    Brand new Mac Mini 2012  2.3 quad Core i7.   When attempting to install any Mountain Lion updates downloaded from Apple support site (10.8.2 or 10.8.2 Supplemental update) Installer will not proceed and says "Can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements..."   
    Happened on two identical brand new mac Minis with no other data on them, and Apple senior tech support said they had never seen it and had nothing else to try after wiping the drives and reinstalling several times.
    Just curious if anyone else has seen or could duplicate this issue.

    This is what I've been instructed to do now (all with no success):
    Restart the computer, holding down the option key and then do a restore.
    Download the 10.8.2 Combo update and try and install.
    Restart the computer, holding down the option key and then do an erase & then restore.
    Download the 10.8.2 Combo update and try and install again!
    Restart the computer, holding down the option key and then do an erase with zeroes & then restore.
    Try and buy Mountain Lion from the App Store. (Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer)
    My case has also been escalated. I asked about the DL1603 but they knew no more (or even less) than I did.

  • Can I install CS3 without disk? Have key registered.

    My old laptop crashed and of course after my move, I can't find my cs3 disks.
    I have my serial key registered through Adobe (shows up in my "sign-in" info when I log into the website) and all.
    I tried finding the download files through the website but it kees tossing me to cs6 and well, I can't justify that money when I had cs3...
    Thanks for the help in advance. I was thinking I'd try to contact adobe by email but apparently I can't do that and the call wait time is heinous and the link to chat apparently "has been deleted" anytime I click on it... Sigh.

  • Mac mini 2010, can't install bootcamp drivers

    My brother's computer (mid 2010 Macmini) has previously been partioned with a Windows 7 32 bit system. Under bootcamp 4 we could install Windows 7 32 bit system, plus drivers and it was used for playing games on Steam. The partition was removed so it could be increased and in the process updated the Apple side software to 10.8.5, which installed bootcamp 5.
    Bootcamp 5 won't use our 32 bit install disk, so we went through the process of getting a 64 bit install disk and it installed without a problem. Now the drivers on the PC side as downloded by Bootcamp 5 won't work. I get the error message "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". So my next step was to download the bootcamp 4 drivers and they also do not work. I get the error message "this version of bootcamp is not intended for this computer model". I have had a look around and can't find anyone with the exact same issue.
    Also the "troubleshoot capatability" fix doesn't work I have tried it. Can anyone help?

    Good news. Glad to be of help.
    Cool - now to find out about sharing data across platforms.
    Since Vista needs its system partition to be NTFS, you can read files from while in Mac OSX, but can't write to NTFS without additional help.
    Either Paragons NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ or NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ enable OSX to write to NTFS partitions.
    The access your Mac OSX from Vista you can use MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/
    Or use an external harddisk with the FAT32 file system, since Mac OSX and Vista can read and write to/from FAT32.
    But note that FAT32 has a built-in single-file size limitation of about 4GB.
    Thanks again, Paul.
    You're welcome anytime. Hope it it helps

  • Can't install Mavericks, damaged disk, restore from Time Machine, unable to find destination disk. What to do?

    After downloading Mavericks, tried installing, it told me that I have a damaged disk and to restore from backup. Selected Time Machine's latest backup. Then I was prompted to select backup disk. My only option was the Mac HD icon with a "?" on top of it, unable to verify disk. With the "continue" button grayed out, I hit the back button a few times in an attempt to start over. I went back to the install page and it started installing. 40 minutes later it was up and running. Every thing seemed fine. I tried opening GarageBand, I got the spinning wheel. Then a prompt page asking me to select a language. I selected English and the computer shutdown. It being late and I being frustrated, I decided to wait until morning.
    On startup I got the message that I have a damaged disk and to restore from backup. Selected Time Machine's latest backup. Then I was prompted to select backup disk. This time there was no icon or anything to choose from.
    I'm wondering if I need to use my original Mac mini, Mac OS X install DVD, or is it time for a trip to the Apple store.
    Ideas and options welcome.
    Thanks

    It sounds as if your hard drive may have failed or may be failing. Boot your computer from the REcovery Disk by holding down the Command+R keys during the boot. From the Recovery drive you can run Disk Utility.  Once in DU select your hard drive then run "Repair Disk".
    If errors are found and repaired run Repair Disk a second time.
    If errors are found and not repaired you are going to need a more robust volume repair utiity such as DiskWarrior, TechTool Pro, or Drive Genius and an external drive to boot from to run the repairs or...

  • Can't install a sata disk on a K9agm3

    Hello ya'all
    I'm tryng to install a Hitachi 320GB sata disk on a k9agm3 with winxp 32, i have used all drivers on CD-ROM, but system can't boot on AHCI mode, also I downloaded driver from webpage but nothing ... What driver may I use?
     Thanks in advance

    Turn AHCI off and you will be fine.
    AHCI doesn't work well under anything but Vista, however it isn't faster or anything.
    Simply turn it off and be happy.

  • Can't install window xp (disk error)

    i want to install my window. but after i install it and it say disk error and tell me to press any key to restart.But i can't press any key,the keyboard is frozen.
    what should i do.any advice?

    1) The installation works fine on a separate internal empty disk drive. Just insert a SATA drive format it -Mac OS Extended (Journaled)- partition it with Boot Camp and install windows xp pro w/sp2 - OEM. It works. Windows evidently needs lots of uncluttered space with no competition. The more disk space it has the better this works. Obviously you need to have a computer that will accept more than one disk drive like a Mac Pro.
    2) The answer I am looking for, however, is how to successfully install windows xp on a partition of the main hard drive that is the Boot drive for OSX.
    3) There are two softwares on Version Tracker (Paragon NTFS 7.0.2 & NTFS-3G 2009.4.4) that can format the drive in NTFS but I have had no success in making the Windows start up after installing on the NTFS formatted partition.
    4) The answer needs to be either a utility that creates the right atmosphere for windows much like Parallels and VMWare do or a way to enter a couple lines of code that would direct windows to reformat the Boot Camp Partition in NTFS rather than immediately loading windows onto a FAT32 drive that will not boot. I'm not smart enough to create either of these. ----HELP----
    5) I am disappointed that Apple was not more specific in their "Boot Camp Setup and Installation Guide" by telling the user what versions of Windows will not work. I have one piece of software that has never been written for an Apple computer in the last ten years or longer and it is not going to happen in the foreseeable future so I need to run windows. ---Come on Apple solve the problem.----

  • Can't install ML. Disk used for time machine

    When I choose my machintosh HD drive to install mountain lion says "This disk is used for time machine backups". HELP!!!

    Although this may be too late for the OP, here's the answer: If you see a Backups.backupdb folder on your main harddrive, either remove it or rename it. That seems to be the only qualifier for calling a disk a Time Machine Backups disk as far as the installer is concerned.

  • Can't install software on disk for unkown reason?

    I'm trying to install QuickTime Broadcaster. When the installer gets to the "Select Destination" part, it shows my HD with an exclamation point in a red octagon, and I get the error message:
    You cannot install QuickTime Broadcaster 1.5.1 on this volume. You are not allowed to install the software on this disk for an unknown reason.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? I believe I meet the system requirements. I also just tried installing something else and didn't get this error message. I only get it with this QuickTime Broadcaster installer. I also repaired my permissions, but that didn't help.
    thanks
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I don't know. It installed without any problem on my G4, 450 MP. I suggest booting with your Tiger install disk, enter your language, and, when the menu bar pops up, select Utilities->Disk Utility, repairing permissions and the disk. If it passes, then quit, Utilities->Startup Disk, select your HD, and restart. If it still won't install, then create a new admin user, log into that account, and try again. Still no go, reinstall the 10.4.8 COMBO update and try again. If still no go, do an Archive & Install installation.

  • Can't install Lion This disk is used for Time Machine backups

    The Lion installer, downloaded from the app store, won't let me select my internal hard disk, it says "This disk is used for Time Machine backups" which it isn't.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Neil

    I was sure that I had trashed the Backups.backupdb folder from the top level - it did require me to enter my Admin password.
    Yes I had tried several times to go back to the terms of agreement screen and click agree once again, but still had the problem.
    I had external HDs connected, but disconnected them and the problem persisted.
    I restarted my mac and now the message has gone away and I am having no problems installing.
    Thanks everyone

  • Can't install flash player - disk space not enough

    I have 11 partitions (drive letters). Which one I should check? System partition, programs partition, tmp partition or profile partition? Games partitions maybe or documents?
    This stupid useless message can't help me to solve the problem at all.

    That message may be misleading; try these installers:
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    If you still get an error, please post the contents of the FlashInstall.log file in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
