How do I create an install disk from recovery partition to install on a blank hd

So, my hard drive is slowly dying . . . about all I'm able to access is the recovery partition. I bought a new hard drive to replace it, but no longer have the install disks that came with the computer. How do I make install disks from the recovery partition that I can use to install Mountain Lion back onto the new hard drive?

You have two possibilities:
1. Open App Store > Purchases and download Mountain Lion. When the download has finished, open Lion Diskmaker to make a bootable Mountain Lion USB drive > http://blog.gete.net/lion-diskmaker-us/
2. Download Recovery Disk Assistant from the Support website to create a Recovery HD on your USB drive.
The difference between them is that the first contains OS X Mountain Lion, so you won't have to download Mountain Lion from the App Store when you are going to install Mountain Lion

Re: Satellite L40 PSL48E: Can I create a installation disk from Vista partition

Hi,
my Satellite L40 PSL48E came with a Vista recovery partition.
As I despise Vista I bought a replacement drive and installed a new hard-drive and installed XP pro.
I retained the original drive in case i ever had to claim under warranty.
I now find that due to work commitments I have to occsionally use the despised Vista rubbish and wonder if it is possible to create a Installation disk from the partition on the original drive so tha ti can create a dual boot system on my new drive.
I am very reluctant to BUY a new Vista CD since I already have a fully legal copy on a drive which I am not using and I will only use it VERY rarely for this one work commitment.
Any information gratefully received
Thanks Ron

OK and thanks.
My next problem is this. I have XP on the main partition and WinRE on the hidden partition. How the heck do I get at the hidden partition. I don't have any boot disks ( none were provided with the machine when I bought it new. Pressing F8 only takes me the the normal XP options Safe boot boot as normal etc.
I've tried f10 and f12 and f11 tas I've seen these suggested on a few newsgroup posts. Anyone got any ideas please.
Toshiba Recovery Disc creatoe seems to be the key from what i read but if this is not present how do i get to the hidden partition and run it?
HELP please. How i hate the fact that manufacturers don't provide a proper CD or DVD anymore it is a right PITA.

At only 15 months of age, my MacPro crashed yesterday! Any idea how I can save my hard disk from being destroyed if I hand it in for repair?

Open it up. Buy a new replacement drive. Install Mac OS. Then give it to them if you still have trouble.
As for the install failing,
I never do the older "archive and install"
I format and initialize first, even zero the drive, and only then install.
of course all the data is lost.
Data Rescue 3 demo can scan a drive but you need to have setup a 2nd boot drive to work from, AND you would need part of that 2nd drive partition for recovery of data. 30-50GB system partition and 150% the size of the drive you want to recover.
TimeMachine I never adopted or liked but 350% and would only use as secondary backup with cloned copy of your drive.
Backups can be scheduled, run at night or weekend or both, a weekly clone and daily sets.
Disk Warrior 4.2+ is another $100 (DR3 is about same but demo is free to try).
A spare external drive case $30? and TWO hard drives, a replacement and backup/recovery $100 each?
Just some ideas to throw out there....
Bootable clones though you will find are very useful, handy.
I like the small 40GB emergency boot partition - put one on your TimeMachine drive etc.
LION: the one good thinig: it has a recovery mode partition and new Macs have "net install" feature and minimal hardware diagnostic over the internet to do Apple Hardware Test. Lion $30 and might actually want to install it on external.
So DO try installing OS X on one of your external drives - create 40GB volume just for that - if you can please.

How can I create an audio CD from the audio only portion of my iMovie?

Hello, I brought in about 50 min of Digital video into iMovie, I separated (split) the audio from the video, I unlocked the audio, I deleted the video, and now I want to just create an audio CD from the audio that is left.
Can I do this? and if yes how? If I can not, how can I create an Audio CD from on my G5 off a tape on my digital camcorder?
Any help would be apprecaited.

This is how:
Go to:
'File'
'Share'
'Quicktime'
'Expert Settings'
'Audio as AIFF' or pick your brand of compression.
Drag and drop the resulting file into iTunes.
Enjoy!
P.S. - You didn't need to delete the video but I think that'll be okay.

How I can create a XML file from java Aplication

How I can create a XML file from java Aplication
whith have a the following structure
<users>
<user>
<login>anyName</login>
<password>xxxx</password>
</user>
</users>
the password label must be encripted
accept any suggestion

Let us assume you have all the data from the jsp form in an java bean object..
Now you want a xml file. This can be acheived in 2 ways
1. Write it into a file using java.io classes. Say you have a class with name
write("<name>"+obj.getName+</name>);
bingo you have a flat file with the xml
2. Use data binding to do the trick
will recommend JiBx and Castor for the 2nd option

How do I create a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

How do I creat a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX. It's kinda hidden in the "share." Go File/Share/Add Destination. You want "Save Current Frame." After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

In Acrobat 11 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
to go into form editing mode. You'll see the tools that are available, thought it may prompt you to autodetect the fields. I usually don't do this, preferring to create them myself.

You don't.
Slideshows are exported as movies and these are very large files. Email is not an appropriate medium for very large files as they can cause immense issues for the receiver.
Better to share some other way.

How do i run a Repair Disk from ARD

how do i run a Repair Disk from ARD

have you considered a netboot image and or a safeboot?
With a netboot image you could try repairing the drive remotely. (the down side is this requires a mac os x server to do)
A SafeBoot can be remotely triggered, and it include automatic disk check and repair. (the downside is depending on how the computer is connected to the network, it may not re-connect to the network when safeboot complete and boots into 'safe mode'. ) I find if the computer is connected to the network by a built-in ethernet adapter, I can usually still access the computer in safe mode
Before running a disk repair or permissions repair, it's a good idea to make sure the computer is backed up.
Also, in the case that a NetBoot, Disk Repair, or SafeBoot fails, you would probable want to be able to physically walk over to the computer.
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck explains that SafeBoot includes Automatic Verify and Repair of Disk.
Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode explains how to use the terminal to configure a computer to SafeBoot into SafeMode. It also explains how to turn off SafeBoot after booting into SafeMode.
cheers!

How do I create a ".URL" file from a webpage I'm viewing

The simplest way is to drag the "site identity button" (the padlock, for secure pages, and the globe, for other pages) to the desktop and drop it there. You may need to resize various window in order to be able to see the desktop while also viewing the site.
There is an add-on for sending a shortcut to Windows without having to use this method. I haven't tried it myself:
