Hi, maybe you can try this boot-cd: http://unattended.technikz.de/index.php/Main_Page#2006-09-01_unattended-gui_boot-cd_0.1
There is the patch integrated.The patch works if during the boot the sektors and heads from the harddisk detection is by 240 or 78 sektors. This will appear if you have a thinkpad or a Dell with this special chipset. If during the boot the hardware detection describes an other sektor counter please let me know. greetings mario Am Donnerstag, den 14.09.2006, 13:15 -0400 schrieb Chris Liles: > I tried the "fix" suggested by Tobias Richter on the NTLDRNotFound page, > by booting the laptop into linux and doing: > > echo -e -n "\xf0" |dd of=/dev/sda1 bs=1 seek=26 conv=notrunc > echo -e -n "\xf0" |dd of=/mnt/drive/\$win_nt\$.~bt/bootsect.dat bs=1 > seek=26 conv=notrunc > > rebooted and the windows install continued. > > Now I just need to figure out how to *only* run these commands on the > X60.... > > > -- > > > Chris Liles > System Analyst > Air2Web, Inc. > 1230 Peachtree St. N.E. > 12th Floor > Atlanta, GA 30309 > > > > Sebastian Mellmann wrote: > > Take a look here: > > > > http://unattended.technikz.de/index.php/Main_Page#2006-09-01_unattended-gui_ > > boot-cd_0.1 > > > > Maybe this will help you. > > Installed a Thinkpad T60 last week with this. > > > > > > Sebastian M. > > > >> -----Original Message----- > >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > >> Behalf Of Chris Liles > >> Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2006 6:55 PM > >> To: [email protected] > >> Subject: [Unattended] bootloader in trouble > >> > >> Well I got my hands on another lenovo thinkpad X60, and again > >> it refuses to boot after unattended copies all the windows > >> setup files to it. > >> > >> Upon reboot I am stuck looking at a black screen, no error messages. > >> I can mount the drive in linux and see that all the files are there :( > >> > >> I am running a custom livecd for kicking off the process, with parted > >> 1.6.22 and a 2.6.17 kernel. > >> > >> I've put the sata controller into the "compatibility" mode in > >> bios, but no luck. > >> > >> I've hit the wiki for the NTLDR Not Found solutions, but > >> don't know if this is a similar/the same problem. > >> > >> Any thoughts, as I have this laptop for a couple of days and > >> would really like to get unattended going with this model, as > >> we will be purchasing more of them. > >> > >> > >> Any thoughs as to what I should try next? > >> > >> > >> -- > >> > >> > >> Chris Liles > >> System Analyst > >> Air2Web, Inc. > >> 1230 Peachtree St. N.E. > >> 12th Floor > >> Atlanta, GA 30309 > >> > >> > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
