T440s can't boot into MDT due to missing driver?

I've downloaded the SCCM drivers from the Lenovo site, added them to my OOB drivers, and updated my deployment share. The machine will go through the motions to boot into the PXE image for me to apply the image, but when I get to the final step to start selecting everything it complains about network drivers being unavailable.

I did not have this issue, but I did have an issue where the PE enviroment would not recognize anything plugged into a M93 USB port. My Win PE needed the USB 3.0 driver which was not being imported by default.
What I did (and someone showed me this) was make a separate folder in the Out-of-Box drivers area with what drivers I thought Windows PE would need. This included drivers with the Class: hdc, mouse, net, USB, etc. Not sure exactly what else you need, I threw in a lot of stuff and it did bloat my PE iso by 100+ mb.
After that, Right-click your deployment share proprerties, go to the Windows PE tab and change your Selection profile to one that just includes your Windows PE folder.
Sounds like if you can get the T440s network driver in there you should be okay.

  • Can't boot into bios due to SMART Hard Disk Error

    My hard drive failed and now im getting constant pop ups to replace it
    I'm thinking about transfering windows to an external drive until I can replace the internal one but I need access to the bios to set the boot priorty options anytime I use f10 to boot into the bios it's like it's skipped over and gives me the smart hard disk error screen where my only options are to boot into windows or run diagnostics.
    I tried running diagnostics but each test resulted in an instant failure.

    Yes take out hard drive and connect it to another PC. Get help from your service manual for procedure for taking it out:
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02659236
    Adapter, something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-Converter-Adapter-Cable-included/dp/B005B3VO24
    For configuring boot order, try this:

  • Can't boot into OSX from different Hard Drive

    Hi,
    I am having a problem booting into OSX.
    I put my own HDD into my Macbook when I first got it and everything was fine, no problems. But recently I took it out to keep my data safe and put back in the old HDD and reinstall OSX Snow Leopard onto the old HDD. After this completed I put back the one I had purchased myself but upon starting the laptop a bar appeared at the bottom of the Apple startup logo and after disappearing the system did not get any further.
    I put my my Snow Leopard CD after this to repair and check the disk and then came the errors that It was corrupt and could not be repaired and that I should try to back up as much data as possible.
    My question is, is there anyway to boot from this HDD again without reformatting it? and if I do have to reformat it, can I place it into an enclosure to get the data off?
    The HDD was working perfectly with no reported errors until I put in the old HDD and made a new installation on it.
    Thanks for any help,
    Francis

    After looking for answers and phoning Apple I have ended up having to reformat. For those who also have this problem:
    I have heard that running Disk Repair multiple times works, try booting into safe mode and try fsck in single user mode. My solution was just to connect the hard drive via USB so I could at least get all my data off of it.
    Cheers,
    Frank

  • How can I boot into PartedMagic from a USB drive on a newer MacbookPro?

    Hello,
    has anyone successfully booted into PartedMagic (or Gparted) from USB drive on a newer (2014) Macbook Pro? If so how? I've tried multiple ways of "burning" my ISO file to the USB drive but in no case am I able to boot into it. I seems to freeze a few seconds into the boot process. Somewhere I've read it might have something to do with EFI but I am not sure.
    Looking forward to your feedback. JW

    These are mpeg files probably mpeg 2 which iMovie won't import without conversion. Will they open in Quicktime player? If so do a command i and see what the inspector says about the file. MPEG Streamclip is a free app that will convert the Mpeg 2 to .Mov which iMovie will accept although it does require a converter you buy from Apple at $19 I think. Other converters are available just google for them.

  • Can't boot into Windows 8.1 partition after apple store repair

    Can't boot into Windows 8.1 partition after apple store repair
    I went to the apple store about a week ago to get my screen fixed, and when I get it back I don't have an option to boot into my windows partition. The bootcamp partition is still there, but I can't boot into it. I can still see all of the files on the drive. When I try to boot into windows from the startup disc setting I get "no bootable device — insert boot disk and press any key” on a black screen. I went in for a dead pixel, and the guy at the genius bar ran something on my computer and went into disk utility application. I’m not sure what he was doing, but obviously that’s what messed up my windows partition. How can I be able to boot back into windows? Here's what disk utility looks like on my computer.

    Here's the output

  • Hi, can anyone help with the problem I am having with pro book 4440s? I can't boot into windows 7.

    Hi, can anyone help with the problem I am having with pro book 4440s?  I can't boot into windows 7, nor can I enter the bios cause i fogot the password. the error I am getting says "windows failed to start. a recenr hardware or software change might be the cause.   it then gives me options to boot from a disc but I can't do that cause I am unable to get into the bios to change it to boot from a disc.

    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you don't already have one, use another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD.  Download the relevant ISO from the links below.
    Windows 7 32bit
    Windows 7 64bit
    You should use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  Once created, or if you already have this, tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.  Insert the Rescue CD.  Select Boot options ( usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter.  You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue' - do this if asked.
    When loaded, select Repair Your Computer and choose the Command Prompt.  When this loads, enter the following commands and hit enter after each one - include spaces as shown.
    Bootrec.exe
    bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
    c:
    cd boot
    attrib bcd -s -h -r
    ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
    bootrec /RebuildBcd
    bootrec /fixmbr
    bootrec /fixboot
    Remove the Rescue CD and try rebooting the notebook.

  • Can't boot into windows 7 anymore......

    Hi all, I have a Mac mini late 2012 with windows7 installed through bootcamp5. It has worked flawless until recently, now I can't boot into windows anymore. I've checked in finder and the bootcamp partition is present and also all the files. Before that, I did have some trouble with my LaCie 2big thunderbolt hdd, it kept on saying I had to reformat one of the discs in the drive, but only when used in windows, in OSX there was/are no problems reading the hdd .......
    Any idea of how I can make windows bootable again?, do I really have to make a fresh install of windows to make it work??
    Any help is very much appreciated
    Kindly

  • Can't boot into anything after EasyBCD's "Write MBR"

    After upgrading my windows 8.1 install to windows 10 about a week ago (week ago), I decided that I no longer wanted the Windows/Ubuntu dual boot I had setup. So, in an attempt to delete GRUB and set the bootloader back to the windows bootloader, I downloaded EasyBCD and fiddled with it a bit before finding the "Write MBR" option. I figured that would allow me to boot directly into windows, or at least delete Ubuntu's GRUB Bootloader, so I could use one of my many windows install DVD's to set the bootloader to a windows one. Unfortunately, I'm an idiot, and after doing that, I can't boot into anything. I've tried everything I could think of or find on Google to get it to boot into absolutely ANYTHING. I've tried boot into every one of the boot options, including the main boot menu, but none of them load. instead, it shows me a loading screen that displays some mobo info as if it were loading a boot option I selected, but it hangs there. Maybe it was just taking its sweet little time right? Wrong! I let it sit for hours, still nothin'. HP has a "solution" where you hold the windows key + B for one second as you start up the pc, and it should start a bios recovery. Feeling hopeless, I tried it, hoping that it would do SOMETHING. Of course, it didn't boot into that either. Just a black screen. Finally, I learned that sometimes problems like this could be cause by hardware issues, and a lot of the times its the hard drive. I highly doubted that it was a hardware issue seeing as I bought this PC late last year (around November or December of 2014) but I removed the hard drive just in case and started my computer. Same result. FML. Can someone, anyone, help this poor idiot get his baby up and running again? I don't have the money or the confidence in their abilities to give it to Geek Squad or anyone else for that matter and let them have a go at it, so i'm depending on the internet ((

    but if my PC's bootloader or something related is messed up, can the neosmart forums actually help?not trying to be rude or anything, i'm genuinely curious. you see, i cant really load anything, including any recovery disks or USB's, which is why i was hoping that there would be some sort of HP utility that could help me restore my PC back to its previous state. i'll still ask the neosmart forums though. i'm pretty desperate to fix my PC at this point!

  • Can I boot into Windows XP from a firewire enclosed Hard Drive? Boot Camp

    I understand you can install XP (as long as it has service pack 2 or 3) on an Intel Mac using Boot Camp, but I was wondering if it would be possible to take a HD from a PC computer which already has XP installed, and, using an firewire HD enclosure, boot the Mac into XP from that. Would this be feasible?

    Yes, but not exactly. The page says:
    "Can I install Windows on an external drive?
    No. Installing Boot Camp on an external hard drive is not supported."
    But I don't want to install Windows, I want to boot my computer into it.
    It also says:
    "External FireWire disks are not recognized by the Startup Disk control panel in Microsoft Windows. To start up from a bootable external drive, press and hold the Option (Alt) key while the computer starts up, then select the external disk."
    I don't mind if external disks won't appear under Windows, as long as I can still boot into it.
    I found another helpful post:bootcamp windows 7 Firewire external drive NTFS?
    Here someone writes:
    "I still use Windows XP with my Mac but still never had such a problem with my two Firewire external HDs (one FW400 and one FW800).
    And I did a lot of things with these
    Partioned one for use with OSX and Windows (one HFS+ partition; one NTFS partition); copied my complete MP3-collection (180GB) from one external HD to the other; etc.
    All without any kind of glitch or slowdown."
    So it seems this person was successful in booting XP from an external drive. Windows 7 or Vista on the other hand will encounter problems booting, which that tread explains.
    In another thread (Boot camp on an external hard drive) someone wrote:
    "I believe there might be a way, I just haven't gotten around to trying this out.
    1) use disk utility to partition the external drive to ntfs (i think)
    2) attach this disk to a pc and install the OS
    3) install refit onto your mac
    4) attach the drive via fw800, or even better yet esata, to you mac.
    5) Start up your mac
    6) choose the win xp option from the boot menu
    7) install bootcamp drivers
    this seems, in theory, that it should work."
    So from what I gather, I think this method would probably work, I just want to know if anyone had any specific knowledge regarding this subject.
    From here I only have two questions:
    Is it possible to take a working drive from a PC which already has XP installed, and change the format to ntfs under OSX without damaging the drive or OS?
    And, would I need a version of XP with service pack 2 or 3, or will anything do, since we are not installing it with Bootcamp, we are only running it under Bootcamp at this point.
    Thanks for any help!

  • Can I boot into Windows if it is partitioned on a second hard drive?

    I want to put my 2009 MBP hard drive into a 2012 MBP by replacing the optical drive with the 2009 hard drive in a caddy. The 2009 has Windows partitioned on it already through bootcamp.
    Will I be able to boot into windows through the second drive or will I have to bootcamp the new 2012 drive with Windows?

    OK Cool.   I think I will try that.   Thanks for the tip.  I appreciate it.

  • Can anyone boot Leopard from an external hard drive on  an iMacPPC?

    Can anyone boot Leopard from an external hard drive on a G5 iMac PowerPC? How?

    Allan's answer is irrelevant as he refers to Snow Leopard. He must have isread your post!
    Yes, you can and I do. The proviso is that the external hard drive is connected by firewire, as a PPC Mac cannot boot via USB.

  • Can't boot into safe mode or prompt login window, need help.

    Hello all,
    This is cross-posted from the installations and set-up list.
    Can anyone suggest a remedy for what's ailing this powerbook. its a g4 powerbook, i don't have much more info other than that. all indications are that it is running 10.2.6, although i was told that it had been updated to 10.2.8, its possible that it was updated only to 10.2.6. following the update, you get to the apple and spinning pinwheel screen and it will not proceed. literally, the pinwheel will spin for 24 hours+.
    it looks like it gets to the point of the startup(login) items and hangs indefinitely. ie it will
    if i start in verbose mode it will, give some clues:
    truncated or malformed library: /System/Libray/Frameworks/Security.frameworks/Versions/A/Security
    Some starup items failed to launch due to conflicts
    /usr/libexec/crashreporterd: crashdump terminated by signal 5
    init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/console, sleeping
    /usr/libexec/crashreporterd: crashdump terminated by signal 5
    last message repeated 10 times
    /usr/libexec/crashreporterd: crashdump terminated by signal 5
    init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/console, sleeping
    /usr/libexec/crashreporterd: crashdump terminated by signal 5
    last message repeated 5 times
    this will continue to be repeated and i assume a new core.## file is sent to the /cores folder, until the hard drive is maxed out.
    I can boot in single user mode and everything is fine but i cannot boot into safe mode.
    fsck says the disk is fine, as does disk first aid, i have also corrected permissions, and followed many of the things that have been previously posted.
    It looks like ther are conflicts with some startup items, what can i move from the starup folder and is best not to be touched?
    what about the truncated library message?
    also can i update to 10.2.8 from the single user mode, if i cannot get into safe mode?
    any suggestions?
    thanks in advance-
    todd

    I have solved this problem. I mounted the laptop in target mode and replaced this file:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security
    with the equivalent file from a machine running 10.2.8.
    It booted all the way through then i upgraded to 10.2.8.

  • My 2007 Intel Macbook Pro had Tiger 10.4. Can I boot into that drive,now an external, with my 2011 Macbook Pro?

    I have software that is no longer compatible with my 2011 MacBook Pro that I would like to continue to use.
    When I upgraded my old 2007 MBP from Tiger to Leopard, I did a clean install on a new drive, and put the original internal in an external case.
    This same software did not work with Leopard, but I could boot into the old drive when necessary, and use it that way.
    But so far, I have not been able to do this with the new computer.
    Since that MBP had an Intel processor, shouldn't I be able to boot into the old drive, or is the problem due to the i7's quad core?
    BTW, I have Parallels 7 (and 8 available, but not installed yet) running WIndows Pro 7.
    Can I use Parallels to install Mac 10.4 as a VM as a way around this?
    Thanks.

    You can upgrade from10.4 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 will run under10.6 but you might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc....  I recently upgraded an 2006 MacBook (model 1,1) from 10.4 to 10.6.
    You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least1gb of RAM and 5gb offree space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY You won't need the box set unless you want the full iLife '11 and iWork '09. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers for $20 each.
    A 10.5 Leopard disk will run you over $100

  • Can't Boot Into Vista

    Ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I have been unable to boot into Windows (Vista Ultimate). I hold down the alt/option key at start up and all I get is a white screen. The Windows drive shows up on my desktop in Mac OS. I checked and see that I have Boot Camp 3.0 installed. Is there something I missed during the upgrade? I assumed that the Windows end wouldn't be affected. Haven't found anything elsewhere that addresses this problem

    I've been able to select the Windows drive as my start up drive from System Preferences, so I can use the Windows partition. However, if I try and install any of the drivers from the Snow Leopard DVD in Windows, I get a message stating that the 64-bit Boot Camp is not supported on my machine.
    I seem to recall there was a work-around necessary to get Windows Vista Ultimate to boot on my iMac, due to the hardware. Is there a similar work-around available now that SL is out? Do I simply need to switch startup discs using Mac System Preferences and Boot Camp and forget about the option (alt) key?
