T420S does not initialize NIC driver via DOS Boot key

Hello,
I am trying to boot a T420S laptop via DOS. When the "net initialize" command is executed the driver never gets initialized. This is the first time I've encountered this problem. I have used my DOS boot key on previous lenovo models (T410, T400, T61, X300, T60, T43, T42).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem, brand new shipment of T420s models, BIOS 1.24 (not even available on the drivers website), and none of my Netboot/Ghost boot tools work. I can get it to netboot to a TFTP server but it wont load my Ghost image (freezes as "transferring image file"), nor do my USB or CD Ghost boot tools work. I randomly got it to load off a Ghost CD once correctly, but after that, it loads and fails to intiailize the UNDI driver (as if PXE was turned off, which it isnt).
This is pretty frustrating since there are no newer BIOS revisions yet, and I cant image them for deployment...

Your question(s) is/are a little hard to understand. So your husband has an iPod as well as a netbook and he wants to be able to sync iPod with this netbook is that correct? If so, he'll need to first download and install iTunes assuming the netbook is running some version of Windows such as 7, Vista, or XP.

As for importing or ripping music, he'll have to either use an external CD/DVD drive that is attached via USB or rip the songs to another PC you have with a built in CD/DVD drive. Once you have imported them to the other computer, you can transfer the songs to an external hard drive or to his iTunes library via Home Sharing.
If this isn't quite what you were looking for, please clarify.

[SOLVED] New install does not see SSD drive

Ok, I have a DFI motherboard which at first did not recognize my new Intel SSD drive I have installed. After updating the BIOS, it now correctly recognizes it. However when I run the 2009.2 cd and try to prepare the drives, it does not show any drives listed?
/sbin/fdisk -l
does not show any drives either so it looks like arch cant see any installed HD's which makes since, but the motherboard does show the new Intel SSD as a Sata drive right under my DVD player?
Any help?
Edit: I hooked up my old Seagate drive and it shows up fine. Any idea on why this SSD is not playing nice?
Solved: I have come to the conclusion this has nothing to do with the Arch install, but is simply a hardware issue with my motherboard. I installed the SSD drive in my wifes pc, it seen the ssd as a sata drive while booting, it seen it when arch was initializing, it seen it when I did a fdisk, and when i finally tried to install, it was there too!!
So there must be some issue with my old DFI MB. I will work on that or upgrade..Thanks to everyone who helped out...

I had trouble with my throttle device not making contact with the data lines when connected to USB.
I assume the SSD has the same connector as the motherboard and the cable can be reversed end to end to test for performance.
I use a multimeter to verify the presence of power to the device.
Sata cables are known to be flaky.
Throttle devices use 5vdc power from USB connector and are connected to esata cables at the same time since sata ports do not supply power. The connections for throttle are on opposite ends of the device.
I am not familiar with the SSD power setup but assume it is 5vdc as well.
No other suggestions here..................
Yes, the cable should be able to be reversed as the ssd drives are identical compared to normal sata drives in respect to the cable connections: one sata data connection and one power. I will try some different cables and see if that helps. I did try a new port on the mb which did not work, and when i used the current cables on my older seagate drive it worked fine

Windows 8 does not see hard drive on Satellite A200

Windows 8 does not see hard drive on A200.
How to install?

> with Vista works fine,
Does this mean that Vista is still installed or is HDD visible while Vista installation setup?
Some notebooks HDD controller needs SATA driver in order to be able to install system.
Sat A200 is a little bit older but I dont think the SATA driver is needed here to install Win 8.
I guess you didnt any SATA drivers to install the Vista right?
Set the BIOS to default and try to boot again using Win 8.

I recently moved and had to disconnect my WD My Pro Edition II 2TB external drive I had been using for backup.
Its been several months (many upgrades to the iMac software during this time), and now when I try to reconnect the external dire (Use a firewire cable) it does not recognize the drive is there. I also tried "reloading" software from the Western Digital site, but after following all the instructions, it looks like my iMac doesn't support this software (I can't even locate it after I follow all the instructions.
Thnaks, for anyones ideas on how I can get this working again.....

First of all, you do not really want to use their software; if you want a bootable clone, use either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. If you simply want to drag and drop some files, you don't need software to do that. The important thing on any external drive is that you format/partition it correctly (Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and using GUID partition scheme).
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about WD drives or their software, so I don't have any idea what kind of backup you did. Having said that, it should still recognize the external even if it's outdated. Have you tried mounting it manually in Disk Utility? If you can get it to mount, you could (worst case scenario) just drag your stuff off onto your internal and then reformat the external.

Finder does not show flash drive but it is mounted.

After reformatting a drive to FAT it was automounted to the /Volumes directory. I checked and it is there with all of the content there. Disk Utility also is telling me that it was mounted. The weird part is that the Finder does not have the drive in its sidebar. What else is weird is that other drives come up in the sidebar. Reformatting the same device and changing the volumes name will make it come up.
How can I make it show up in the finder?
Is it possible that I somehow blacklisted volumes with that name?

Bridge CS4 Does Not See External Drive

Very suddenly, Bridge is not seeing the external USB connected driver I use to store recent photos. I read a similar message here and the writer was told to add the drive to favorites. That appeared to work for him, but I could not do that since the folder doesn't appear under Computer in the favorites section either. The drive appears in Windows Explorer. I am using Vista 32. Any suggestions?
Fran

Did you power up or connect the external drive after Bridge had been started? I've observed that Bridge only includes drives that were attached and active when Bridge was launched; it does not add a drive to its folders list if that drive is started after Bridge is active. With your external drive on (and appearing in explorer) try exiting and relauching Bridge.

Transferring does not work, you need to install using installation files. Downloadable versions can be found at the following linked pages...

Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

Hey ems6,
You might need to copy the installer to the USB disk on another computer.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
According to your description, in my opinion, it seems like not bcd file problem. It's PC itself problem, maybe a hardware problem, also can be system componments corrupt.
Can this PC startup successfully if you choose reboot or shutdown PC? Or this problem just occures after resume system from hibernate?
For Windows boot process knowledge, you can refer to the contents of the link below for more details:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/11341.the-windows-7-boot-process-sbsl.aspx
For your problem, in my opinion, it would be better to use System installation to fix this system file for test.
