Here are the specs for the drive in question: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16822136076 Have you run WD Tools on it yet? Do you get an error in your Operating System?

Oh you should probably change it back to S3 for Windows 7. THis would definately appear to be a problem with the HDD and not the other components. Unfortunately, I do not know much about installing Windows (any version) on an SSD.

Yes plus the printer at the office is way better anyways!

I find it interesting that I've never gotten the "72 hour" limit in Win PE 2.1, and once had one on for 3 weeks. PE 3.0 no such luck however, it always reboots. I'm not sure how I got PE 2.1 to ignore the time limit!

I think you can do that as long as the file stays at your location. For example, you cannot redistribute parts of the SDK, which only means that after you install the cert, you would need to remove certmgr.exe from the OS before you deploy the machine. It may be possible to keep the file in there if you are doing an enterprise deployment and not reselling the system, but might be best to just play it safe.

Its interesting that the ads do not show up on that link either.

I am sure you will definately find some useful info here. There is A LOT of stuff!

OK i see what you guys are saying. There is a picture of what it looks like in that blog. I have never seen that before! Not what I thought at all, since I can see a little plus sign above the results if you expand that, it is a little like that, but as I said that has been there for awhile. This new change is entirely different and I wonder why I can't see it. I am wondering... maybe you guys are logged into google to see this? I do not have a google account, this might be it?

This would be more of an SCCM issue, as if you just use Imagex from in the WinPE you create from this thread, it doesn't care about sysprep at all.

Shiva is just about back to normal, but a few problems I can't seem to sort out. 1. USB not installed. Anytime I go to install the drivers for USB, I get a BSOD. 2. Can't get the video card to work properly. Yes the X1650 is not compatible, I replaced it with a Radeon 9600 XT instead. I have the drivers from ATI installed and it is detected in Device Manager as such. However, it also detects "Standard Display Adapter" as well. In Display Properties, it says my primary display is the Standard Display Adapter and the secondary monitor is the Radeon and is disabled. I was originally using VGA to the monitor, so I shut down and connected to DVI but it is still the same. As a result, I am stuck with 16 colors and 800x600. Any ideas? I'd rather use this video card, although I do have some others like a GeForce 3 floating around somewhere. UPDATE: USB still broken. I fixed the video card problem by editing the system.ini. Then set the colors to 256, which at that point the ATI Software detected the card and was able to go to 32bit color and 1024x768 using the DVI port.

The mode for the Mass Storage Controller changed. For example, if you originally installed your XP with the HDD set for IDE in the BIOS, then went to the BIOS and change it to AHCI or RAID, you will get this message. Check your Drive setting in the BIOS.

Me too. This was there for a long time, at least for Image Search.

I merged your topics. No need to create a new one. That is interesting, I did not know if there was a difference between a 32bit and a 64bit domain controller. That was how I had done it, my 2003 was 32bit and the 2008 was 64bit. However my 2008 was not R2 so maybe there is a difference?

Did you get the driver from Lenovo? Yes there was only 1 modem driver for this modem for Lucent. I am not in possession of this notebook anymore, but thanks for the help.

Welcome to the MSFN! Do not make multiple topics in different sections of the forum. I deleted your duplicate topic in General Discussion. You should contact your Microsoft Rep about questions like this. They would be able to get you the best answer. Note that MSFN is not a Microsoft website, we just talk about Microsoft products here.

If you have no response it might be because no one knows this program you are using. We don't have all the answers. I even had to use the google to find out what PCSX2 even was. I tried some of those emulators before but never got them to work. Sounds like you got further than what I've ever got.

Ah ok. I did not get the message returned to me either.

After having to work on that ThinkPad today, I realized that I should bring Shiva into work to get it going. It would solve the problem of not having extra monitors or keyboards (say if I needed to download something) and lack of floppy disks and drives. So Shiva will be brought into work and maybe I can get it fixed up. I'm still worried about the video card, I'll have to look it up if there are Windows 98 drivers for it.

That worked great. Unfortunately the PCI Serial device was the modem but the driver didn't work, the other one was a Power Management device that isn't compatible with Windows 98. Makes me wonder why IBM sold it with 98 then.

The migration was actually pretty easy when I did it, except 2008 wouldn't let me migrate Infrastructure FSMO from the 2003 server. It gave me an error about it, so keep an eye out for that one. I don't know what the fix is, I just left the old server running with FSMO and DNS.

If he can't get to Windows, you can disable the automatic restart on failure right on the F8 menu itself.

I do not know if you are using all the same switches properly. Also this: You're just going to get a notepad to open probably. I'll move this topic to Applications forum, there are answers there about the correct switches to do a silent install.

Yeah, double posting is bad.

Well this is definately the place for you!
