Not exactly what I wanted to hear but I appreciate the answer just the same. 
May I ask, though, is this answer from knowledge or experience?

Mac OSX and Windows NTFS are incompatible file systems, so in order to make one work with the other as you describe:
* You must partition the storage medium with two or more partitions and provide for a dual-boot system.
-or-
* One of the operating systems must provide intrinsic support for the other - an emulation tool, native drivers or provide a shell.
-or-
* One of the operating systems must provide a tool that permits re-provisioning and co-location.
Since you already have Windows loaded on your machine, re-partitioning would be destructive. Sure, there's dual-boot tools and even some that claim non-destructive re-partitioning, but YMMV and rule #33 of Mike's rules of happy computing is don't trust 3rd party hacks when it comes to your boot sector.
Windows doesn't intrinsically support OSX. OTOH, OSX does have intrinsic support for windows. The problem, as stated, is that the egg came before the chicken in this instance.
There are no tools I know of for Windows that permit re-provisioning the partition/boot sector/OS load and file system to play paddy-cakes with a Mac OS, so your options are hence somewhat limited. 
Cheers

Thanks so much for the in-depth description!
After posting this question, I continued my previously fruitless search and finally came up with this[^] piece of software.
I may give it a try after a complete backup.
If it works, great! Otherwise... I hope my backups work.

Well, curious minds would like to know - did the Hackintosh method work, or did you need to decisively trim your fingernails whilst perfoming a system restore?

Well, unfortunately, I was a little indecisive about going through with the project and then I started doing something else and it got pushed aside.
So I don't know yet if that will work or not.

Something I've begun doing for my multi-boot machines is to just put different OS's on different drives.... and choose boot OS by adjusting boot device order. Works well and there's never any interference... and it's really easy to do (provided you can easily change the disk).

I would love to do that!
Unfortunately, the disk is a terror to get at. I'd have to tear apart the entire computer to get at it.

Does it happen to have room for two drives? ...if so, you can still do this, just pop one in, load OS, remove, pop the other load OS... place both in, choose OS by changing boot order. One of my laptops has two drives in it but it's not as common on lower end models (or smaller/sleeker models).

Mine is like the lowest of the low. 
Here's a 5 minute video showing the complexities of getting to my drive:

It doesn't look like it has room for another.

I've never seen a drive that difficult to remove! ...that's ridiculous!

That's about what I thought.
It came as a particular shock after having the luxury of one little panel on my Dell Latitude E6400.

Oh well, sometimes you don't think about things like that until you've already purchased the product. Now you know for next time, make sure the hardware is reasonably accessible. I just bought a new desktop and it has easily removable SATA drive bays, so I load different operating systems on different bays. I can easily swap drives when I want and they also have a key lock so I can secure them if need be.

Yep. That's something that will be pretty high on my list of qualifications for next time.

Now I have a home network controlled by a router. Can I create a segmented network by adding another hub/switch to the network, and how? I need hands-on instructions, not concept. Thanks!
Best,

I've never used any Lenovo laptops, but back at my last IT job I had to get this working with Dell Latitude E6330. To get the SIM card to work I had to reinstall the Wireless LAN Controller software/driver which detected the SIM in the slot and initialised it during installation. All worked fine after that.
It maybe some what different for the Lenovo, but I reckon it will be similar.

This is getting on my nerves. How do I turn off password aging so I don't have to keep changing my password?
If it moves, compile it
|
|
|
|

Try:
- Control panel
- Administrative Tools
- Local Security Policy
- Check the Security Settings, Account Policies, Password Policy settings.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I don't have an option to edit. There is a numeric up/down but it's disabled.

Probably means you don't have administrative privilege. I am making a few guesses here as this is based on Windows 7 Pro.

Haven't got Windows 8 installed, but since about NT you have the option in each user properties -
Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Local Users and Groups -> Users -> Right Click Desired User -> Properties and select Password never expires
I think that should do it for you.
Did you watch the Junior Dos Santos and Cain Valasquez UFC fight?
It looked to me to be a setup to enable a 3rd fight. JDS did not try in any decent way to stopo a take down. Didn't try any take downs of his own so he could usae his newly acquired Ju Jitsu balck belt techniques.
At the very least he could have tried to knee Valesquez in the face each time he dived at JDS feet.
I want my beer money back, it was possibly the worst fight in UFC 155 including all the preliminaries.

Odd but I don't see my user in that list. All the users that are in that list, the passwords are set to never expire.
I didn't watch the fight yet. I cannot stand commercial television, so I wait until they come out on dvd and then rent them. This works for me, but generally means I'm a few behind. I think there are two at the video store now that I need to watch still.

I watch it on Pay Per View at the local pub while drinking a squillion.

Strange, I'll have to download and install Windows 8 to play with and see what the differences are.

A user installed a package I created, didn't work. So, tried to install it manually; added Mono and libappstatusindicator from the terminal. Now the user is confronted with an error in the update-manager;
Some packages could not be installed
amberindicator:i386: Depends: debhelper (>=5) but 9.20120115ubuntu3 is installed
Depends: mono-runtime (>= 2.10.8.1-1) but 2.10.8.1-1ubuntu2.2 is installed
The suggested resolution would be to run sudo apt-get -f install according to the docs, but that sounds like 'try this and see if it works'. That's usually good enough since we can always reinstall the system if things go wrong. Can't do that with a users' PC.
Who can tell me what I did wrong, and how to fix it? Does the error prevent other parts of the system from updating correctly?

Ever get this resolved? ...sounds like version number was being reported or checked for in an incorrect manner...
