What does the system recover kit entail?

I dropped my wife's HP pavillion dv4i notebook, and afterwords had to replace the HDD.  The Notebook did not come with a recovery disk to reinstall all the software it came with.  I did the USB tool to reinstall the correct verions of windows 7 but I don't have a valid Windows product key.  the sticker on the bottom with the key is now unreadable.  I put the damaged HDD in a external case and am attempting to read the key without any luck.
What does the system recovery kit for consumer notebooks come with besides drivers?  would this contain a new product key?
This question was solved.

The Recovery kit installs Windows and all original drivers/software. Yes it includes an activation.

    You could repair disk and permissions,  but I suspect a corrupt OS X.  I would reinstall the operating system.

    Mavericks is not recognizing the .smi extension - on my Mac it thinks it's a RealPlayer document. You are not going to be able to do anything with this - it requires AppleWorks to be present to be updated, and you can't run AppleWorks on Mavericks (other than by the rather roundabout process of installing Snow Leopard Server in Parallels and installing AppleWorks on that, as described here).

  • What does the message "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired" when repairing disk permissions?

    What does the message "Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired" when repairing disk permissions?

    It's just a status message, albeit a misleading one, and can be ignored.

  • HT2729 what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

    what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

    "Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
    email messages and attachments
    Reminders
    Calendar entries
    Contacts
    Text messages
    iMessages
    MMS messages and attachments
    Genius data
    Music cover art
    Music library database index (but not the music itself)
    Operating system settings
    Safari cache
    bookmarks
    Game Center status
    Music catalog
    You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 3 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
    If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
    Sometimes "Other" includes data corruption. If you suspect this is a possibility try connecting to iTunes and click the Restore iPhone button. First restore from backup; the Other doesn't get any smaller you can Restore again and set up as New, then add your content back separately from your backup.

  • What does the recovery CD contain - Satellite A100-847

    Hello guys
    I had a few questions about the recovery CD:
    1- What does the recovery CD contain? and the other CD which is called Media something?
    2- Does it have Windows in it? So I can format my PC using it? And from where can i find the product key (windows key)
    3- What if i wanted to use the CD without formatting? etc. installing the softwares?
    Sorry for asking too much but my laptop started disturbing me. Just for knowledge my Laptop is satellite A100-847

    Hello
    I will try to answer your question.
    1 Recovery media contains recovery image. Recovery image is a kind of package that contains operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba tools and utilities and some additional software like WinDVD or Norton antivir application. Media something is not known to me. Maybe exact description can help.
    2 Yes it has Windows OS. Yes you can format your notebook using it. You do not need product key. Just install it.
    3 I do not know what you mean. The fact is that HDD will be formatted before you start recovery installation. Be sure all your important data are saved on some external device.
    Bye

    Are you running Firefox in Windows 95 or 98 compatibility mode?
    Mozilla/5.0 ('''Windows NT 4.0'''; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
    Firefox won't install on Windows NT 4.0 - so something is changing your useragent and saying that your operating system is like 20 years old.
    Right-click your Firefox desk-top shortcut and select Properties. Then open the Compatibility tab and look at '''Compatibility mode''' - un-check that box if it has a check-mark.

  • Does anyone know what does the keyword section do?

    Does anyone know what does the keyword section do? Under "Any of the webpages -> Properties -> Basic tab -> Tags/Keywords"?
    Is it used for part of the google search?

    Its tagging (Classification), one of the bright feature of any content management system. It allows author to classify the content in system. There are various advantages but i would refer you to go through http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/wcm/tag_admin.html. Apart from that you can search in google as well to find relative information about classification in content management system.

  • When I block my caller Id what does the other person see.

    My question is when I block my number/caller id on my iphone what does the reciever of the call see? Restricted/blocked or could it possibly be a bunch of numbers?? Like 13 digits. would it depend on the phone the other person has like if it is an old flip phone?
    (when scrolling down I dont know the operating system) so ignore my answer to that if it even shows??

    Depends on the carrier you use and the recipient's device. More than likely Blocked.

    what does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

    Well, I've not seen that one before. In fact I had to click on it so as to read the tiny
    text, then it appeared in another window as a .png image... so I retyped it  + also
    supplied a .jpg of the same image of different size. Too wide: automatically scale.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    ...maybe this is large enough to see without clicking? It probably scaled small.
    •About the actual topic in your reply, in regular size text:
    { did you upgrade from an older Mac OS X? from what?}
    You mean it could not or would not boot SafeBoot?
    Here's an official support topic page about it.
    •OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
    Could be you need to start from a boot volume, or Recovery partition to repair it.
    That is a more detailed way to repair disk & repair disk permissions, unmounted.
    Not sure about that SUID thing, though. It may revert after a normal startup.
    Maybe someone can offer better 'ways & means'... LOL!

  • What does the folder with a question mark mean?

    When I power on my black Macbook a white screen appears with a folder with a question mark flashing. what does the folder with a question mark mean? I just replaced the hard drive. When I put the install disc in the cd drive makes a very loud whirring noise then eventually the disc pops back out. Any ideas?

    You will need to reinstall:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • What does the standard program  RFBIBL00    does?

    what does the standard program  RFBIBL00    does?

    Hi Bharath
    Accounting Documents: Data Transfer Workbench
    Definition
    Transferring FI accounting documents from an external system into the SAP System using program RFBIBL00.
    Use
    You use program RFBIBL00 to enter accounting documents and to clear open items.
    Method
    Program RFBIBL00 primarily transfers accounting documents using the batch input method. However, you can also generate documents immediately using call transaction or direct input by means of the "Data transfer type" parameter. Both of these procedures lead to improvements in system performance when transferring large quantities of data (more than 10,000 transactions).
    Object-Specific Settings
    With call transaction or direct input, documents are posted immediately to the SAP System. As a result, you need to ensure that if for any reason the program is terminated, it can be restarted without inconsistencies occurring in the data.
    other information:
    To enhance the batch input procedure, the system offers the direct input technique, especially for transferring large amounts of data. In contrast to batch input, this technique does not create sessions, but stores the data directly. It does not process screens. To enter the data into the corresponding database tables directly, the system calls a number of function modules that execute any necessary checks. In case of errors, the direct input technique provides a restart mechanism. However, to be able to activate the restart mechanism, direct input programs must be executed in the background only. To maintain and start these programs, use program RBMVSHOW or Transaction BMV0.
    Examples for direct input programs are:
      Program        Application
    RFBIBL00         FI
    RMDATIND       MM
    RVAFSS00       SD
    RAALTD11        AM
    RKEVEXT0       CO-PA
    Hope this helps u
