WINDOWS PE USB Drive

I have Windows PE bootable USB drives and able to use them to ghost many types of PCs/laptops OK. Now I get Lenovo W510 laptops. After boot into Windows PE, and run List Disk in Diskpart, it only shows the build-in hard disk, not any USB drives
plugged in so I can get images saved on USB drives. Any suggestion? Thanks

Hi,
Try other USB port. This might need to involve their hardware support.

I'm having the same issues and switching to a different USB port does absolutely nothing.
I find it interesting that issues go unresolved yet moderators mark their own replies as answers.
I doubt that myself and Ian3 are the only ones having this issue.

It means you need the 64 bit Version of Windows on a USB stick or DVD.

IPod Nano, Windows, and USB driver quirkiness question

Hey all,
I recently helped someone who was suffering from two separate, show-stopping iPod/iTunes problems to get things into such a state that they could actually make use of both. Things seem to be working fine, though one of our solutions seems to me to be a bit less than optimal.
For the sake of providing as much information as possible, the first problem (though likely unrelated) was the infamous vanishing iTunes installation. We solved this by using the ctrl-alt-delete trick on an iTunes 4.9 installation (that is, by ending all of the install processes when the installation-ending error message shows up.) Okay, that's not the best solution, but it seems to be all that we can do for now.
The main concern, however, is with the iPod USB driver, and a problem that began with the formatting of the iPod. I can see that at least a few people have had this problem, but here it is for the sake of it:
The iPod installation software would state that the iPod needed to be formated, and then proceed to sit for a very long time, "waiting for iPod," until it would eventually fail. We solved this using the second technique (uninstalling the iPod USB driver) outlined by Paul Green7 in this thread: William Brame, "Initial formatting of iPod Nano", 02:49pm Sep 22, 2005 CDT
After doing this, we ran the iPod setup software again, and it told us that the iPod didn't need to be formatted. Obviously this was rather confusing, but upon loading up iTunes, it proved to be true. It appeared as an actual drive in My Computer, and it showed up properly as a 4gb iPod which songs could be copied to without a hitch.
That is, until the computer was rebooted. After a reboot, the iPod would only be recognized once again as a "USB Mass Storage Device," would not appear in My Computer, and indeed iTunes failed to recognize it as anything other than a 360gb storage device of some unknown sort.
So, what we found was that every time the computer was rebooted, the driver needed to be uninstalled again, and when Windows booted again the iPod would be properly recognized.
Now, as I said, this leaves things in a working, if far less than ideal, state. Can anyone think of a more proper fix for this? It seems to me that we've only partially addressed the problem here, and I can't help but think that this may not be the best state to leave things in.
Also, if nothing else, is there any possibility of ill effects resulting from our currently-employed solution? As far as I can tell, the worst thing about it is that it's merely bothersome, but then, I've had difficult understanding these problems in the first place.
That said, if anyone can offer any advice, it would be greatly appreciated!

The key to your problem is more than likely the 360GB storage device. This is a symptom of having either network drives or an external hard drive attached to your computer, and Windows confusing them with the iPod. The solution is to reassign the iPod's drive letter. See this:

Can't create a Windows Seven USB drive using Bootcamp

Hi! I ve been trying to create a Windows Seven bootable USB drive using the Bootcamp Assistant. I tried to create it using an ISO of my Windows DVD in order to install it on my new Mac Mini. My problem is that I get an error: Your bootable USB drive could not be created, an error occurred while copying the windows installation files. My USB drive is 8G, and I‘ve tried with a 100G external HDD too... So it‘s not a size problem. I also tried to format the drive different ways without any success... I found lots of threads relating to this problem but none of them had a solution. Any clues? Thanks in advance!

You can create a bootable usb via bootcamp

Windows 7 - USB Drive - Mac OS X

I recently and successfully installed Windows 7 onto my i7 Macbook Pro (Early 2011) via bootcamp.
While on my Windows 7/PC side, I simply copied a small mp4 video file from my desktop to my 8GB USB drive (FAT 32). If I run the file, both the video and audio run...all is perfect.
Now, when I restart and get into my Mac OS X side and copy that same file from my USB drive to my Mac's desktop and then open it from my Mac desktop, the file runs the audio, but NOT the video.
I'm at a loss for the reason for this. Any information you can provide on this issue?
Thank you in advance...

I would try the player called vlc
mp4 is just a container it's a codec so maybe quicktime don't support the codec vlc likely does however

Windows wants USB driver

My computer recoginizes that an ipod is connected but wants a driver for the device. I have Windows 2000 SP4 and the latest version of iTunes loaded.
The ipod is not listed in iTunes or My Computer, it is seen in Device Manager but with an exclimation point beside it, when I click on the icon it wants to load a driver.
I've checked all over this web site and google but can not find a Windows 2000 SP4 USB driver for iTunes.
Thanks for any help.

ipods use the standard Windows USB mass staorage drivers. it is possible for those to go walkabout on a PC ... if that's what has happened to you, the techniques from the following MarkJones post may be of some help:

No EFI Boot option from Boot Camp-created Windows 7 USB drive?

I can't get an EFI boot option from my Win7 USB thumb drive. Previously I had been running Mavericks, and with that I was able to select either the BIOS option of the installer ("Windows" under the ALT screen) OR "EFI Boot", but now I'm only getting the bios install option.
Does anyone know the trick to installing Windows with UEFI on my late 2013 rMBP?

I have W8.1 installed under EFI on a late 2013 rMBP. Can you check your USB drive? Is it a USB2 drive?
The structure should similar to the following, and you can see the EFI files. You can try an SMC reset - Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support and check if it changes the behavior.

Problem creating Bootable Windows 10 USB drive with Bootcamp 5.1

Hi all,
I have read quite a number of threads (here and elsewhere on the internet) with problems creating a Bootable USB installation for Windows 10 on OSX Mavericks.    The usual response is "make sure your .ISO is unmounted".    With that being said, it appears that for most users on OSX Mavericks, this alone does not fix the issue.
The specific error I get is:
"Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 or later installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for Windows 7 or later installation."
As mentioned I have double checked that the ISO is not mounted.    Anyone happen to have any solutions?    Also, would creating a bootable drive from a windows machine still work with my Mac the same way it would if it was created with bootcamp?
System specs are:     OSX 10.9 Mavericks, Early 2011 Macbook Pro, (MacBookPro8,3).
Cheers,
Jonathan

W10 is not officially supported. BC Assistant checks available software signatures on ISO images to verify that it can be used. This checking is not always 100% fool-proof, though. You are using a 2011 MBP, which is also a factor in this. One option you can try is to install an evaluation version of W8+ and then upgrade to W10. The upgrade does not require BC Assistant, once Windows is fully installed.

CS-18 Windows Vista USB Driver

My PC won't recognize the Nokia CS-18 - where can I get the driver? Ihave searched for hours.

The drivers for the CS-18 are actually onboard your Usb device. for Win xp you must have service pack 2 installed. It should work out of the box for the vista machine.
http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/internet-stick-cs-18
you will find product info, including a copy of the pdf manual there as well.
Device drivers should be installed automatically when the stick is first placed in the usb slot.
you may have to temporarily disable any antivirus software before placing in the slot. If you have already tried it in one slot and cant get it to work, then disable the A/V software and try in a differnt slot. of your computer. It may pick it up. Other than that contact the carrier that has supplied the usb stick and ask them for further assistance, if all else fails then try a nokia care centre thats is convenient to where you live.

Need 64-bit Windows installation USB drive or DVD.

I tried downloading Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) using a Window 7 installer dvd(Windows 7 Professional) and Bootcamp Camp Assistants (Version: 5.1.2), but this keeps coming out. What should I do to continue my installation?

What does the previous screen look like? Here is my sample screen which has my specific defaults.

Unmounting of redirected USB Drives in Solaris

Does anybody have an idea how I could get some USB devices redirected to Windows but USB drives keep mounted in Solaris?
I've got a project in which some USB-devices (biometric scanners) must be redirected to Windows, but not storage devices (pen drives etc.). Since it's not possible to configure selective USB redirection on USB device type, we will have to disable USB drives on Windows level.
My problem is now, that USB storage devices will be automatically unmounted in Solaris as soon as a Windows session is opened. My idea was to change utprepmount or utdomount to ignore unmounting if it's caused by uttsc. However, it seems that these scripts are always called by utmountd, whether someone unplugs the device or it is redirected to Windows.
Any ideas on how I could keep my drives mounted?
Thanks
Roland

3rd party USB drivers are not yet supported. The details of the interface have not been sufficiently worked out to make a general purpose interface available. It could be possible to get access to the interfaces as they stand by making a deal under NDA.

USB Drives works, but does not show up in "Safely Remove Hardware"

USB Drives works, but does not show up in "Safely Remove Hardware"
windows 8
USB Drives works, but does not show up in "Safely Remove Hardware"
Here are my symptom
- USB Flash Drives , USB External HDD works normally
- I can see them in "My Computer"
- I can open "Safely Remove Hardware" via Run Command, but there is no device in the list
- They show up as "Disk drives" in device manager
- When I right click their icons in "My Computer", there is no option to "Eject" them
- In "Disk Management", they show up as "Basic". Prior to this issue, they were "Removable"
After I tested, it seems that my Vista detects every USB storage device as a normal HDD.
I don't know why but I'd appreciate any help because I have to plug-in and remove those drives often, especially flash drives.
Thank you

IPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 and Windows 7 x64 USB Driver Issues

Been pulling my hair out with this one for the last week or so and haven't had any luck finding anything on the forums or the web regarding a solution short of a full reinstall of Windows 7 which I am not prepared to do at this time; so hoping someone here can shine some light on this for me
I have a iPhone 5 that is updated to iOS 6.1.4 and a recently built Windows 7 64-bit machine. All of my other USB devices function fine (keyboard, mouse, Xbox 360 wireless receiver for Windows, and a Seagate 2TB external USB drive). I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, installed successfully and then attempt to plug in my phone to sync. I get the standard Windows *ding* that I've attached a device and 1 of 2 things happens (I haven't been able to determine what causes one reaction to happen versus the other): Windows will successfully install the 'Apple USB Mobile Device Driver' successfully and it will appear under my USB devices in Device Manager. However - iTunes will not recognize the phone and I cannot see it in Windows either. In the 'Devices and Printers' snap-in my iPhone will appear under 'Unspecified Devices' as the 'Apple USB Mobile Device'. The iTunes diagnostics fail to find a connected device so the tests fail. As soon as I unplug the device, the strangest thing happens: Windows will start trying to install a device driver and after a few seconds it will fail stating that the "MTP Device Driver" installation failed because the device was unplugged. iTunes also thrown an error "iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone" throwing error code 0XE8000065 (I've also seen error code 0XE8000085 as well)
After some finagling, I've managed to get Windows to recognize the device under 'Portable Devices' in Device Manager as an "MTP USB Device" using the generic driver. At this point, I've tried updating the driver and manually specifying the Apple USB driver located in the C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Drivers which updates successfully but then changes the device to "Apple USB Mobile Device" and moves it under the USB Devices in Device Manager; and Windows nor iTunes can see it even still.
I've tried removing iTunes several times and ensuring that all remnants of the installation are gone (registry and folders on the installation drive) and have disconnected all my USB devices short of the keyboard and mouse and still I get the same results. At this point, I'm afraid that a re-install of Windows is going to be the solution; but it's a drastic one (I have a SSD drive where Windows is installed along with all of my games for faster load times/better performance and do not want to have to redownload\reinstall all of them) and I'm not prepared to undertake it at this time, which is why I'm posting here
I've used a utility called USBDeview that sees my phone is connected - so I know from a functional standpoint that my USB ports are good and working. I also know the cable is good too - my daughter's PC (Windows 7 32-bit with NO iTunes) immediately sees the device when I plug it in, installs the drivers, recognizes it as an iPhone and I can then see/browse it in Windows Explorer like I would normally expect. My work PC (Windows 7 64bit, NO iTunes) sees the device just fine as well. I would immensely appreciate anyone that has seen this issue or has any additional solutions I can try.
It's also worth mentioning that I've never used Kapersky antivirus so the UPPERFILTERS value in the registry that I've seen as a solution on some forums is not present on my machine. I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials as my antivirus (no flaming please lol - it meets my needs and is extremely lightweight, which is why I'm using it on a gaming rig) and it's not indicating any issues. I've also tried running iTunes as an administrator (even though my account is a local admin on the machine) and that does not have any effect either.
If there is anything I left out, please let me know; and I thank you in advance!

How do I Install Windows 7 on Mac Book Pro via a Bootable USB Drive

Hi Guys,
I have a Mac Book Pro 13 inch, Early 2011 Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 (I initially had OS 10.5.8 which I upgraded to OSX 10.9.4 a few months ago).
When purchased it, I installed Windows via Super Drive (that being the only time i ever used the super drive). My Windows got corrupted for some reason 2 months ago. Hence, I removed the windows via Bootcamp to perform a fresh install. I discovered my Super Drive was no longer working.
Thereon I have been trying to install Windows via a bootable USB Drive but am failing to do so. After going through several forums, I have reached the following stage.
1. Created Bootable Windows USB Drive using Windows USB (http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Bootable-Windows-7-or-Vista-USB-Drive). Have used this USB drive to install windows on a DELL Computer
2. Bootcamp wasnt creating a partition for windows since no Windows Installation disc was being detected in super drive. (Solved it by downloading Toast Titanium and loading the .iso file on a virtual drive).
3. Boot menu was initially not detecting external drive, so installed rEFIt - An EFI Boot Menu and Toolkit. Now it is detecting the USB Drive.
Now when I boot from this device, it get a black screen with the message "No bootable device - Insert Boot Disk"
Request someone to please help me install windows as some softwares which I work with are windows based.

So my understanding is that my Boot Camp Assistant (BCA), since it does not allow USB installer, it sets NVRAM to boot from Optical Drive. Right?
Yes.
So can I change it or update it to another BCA version which supports the same??
All BCA versions drive the logic based on the Mac Model Identifier. Unfortunately there is no real workaround. .
