have looked at winpe instal disks etc and confused...
any advice help etc
thanks

Hi riddla182, welcome to the HP Forums.  The programs you may have found, would probably all use the same technology to recover lost files. So if a few didn't work, its unlikely you will find a low cost solution for this. I do not have any recommendations on this topic.  
There are many data recovery companies out there, and as I mentioned, it can be quite costly to recover data. You will have to research the actual costs, and determine if it is worth the costs to retrieve your data (if it is still retrievable).

  • How to get data back from an action ?

    Hello,
    Would it be possible to get data back from an action (out of the question EO_MESSAGE & ET_FAILED_KEY )?
    For example we got an order with order positions and we need a "function" to e.g. count all positions. Because of Performance the function should not be processed each time the order is changed, read or a position is added. Instead the function should be processed only if it was called explicitly.
    Is it possible to create a kind of action which is actually counting all entries and export the number of them?
    How to mark a parameter in is_parameters as exporting?
    Is this just done by (naming-) convention?
    What is the preferred way to have “methods” with returning/exporting values?
    Regards,
    Lorenz

    Hello Lorenz,
    As you have already figured out , the Action API provides you with only the messages and failed keys if any.
    Post action execution , you can always execute a retrieve or retrive by association , to get the latest buffer snapshot , which of course would include the changes that you have made in your action.
    If you want to ensure that users have explict control on execution of your "fucntion", then of course , you should model it as an action on the BO.
    The parameter is_parameters is an IMPORTING parameter. You CANNOT use it to export anything back from the action. For importing ,  you can of course have any structure to use as the is_paramaters , which you model as the action parameter structure which modelling your BO action.
    From an external entity the only way to interact with a BO is by consuming the BO services and you are bound by the BOBF standard interfaces. Any and all data you require needs to be modelled as node attributes ( persistent or transient ) and fetched using the RETRIEVE, RETRIEVE_BY_ASSOCIATION or QUERY services.

  • Data loss on HDD due to formatting, trying to get data back

    Hey guys,
    I'm an idiot. I'll get that out of the way right now. I'm sure you'll agree with me when you read this.
    I had three partitions, OSX, one for Windows 7 and one for xp. HFS+J, NTFS, NTFS. I realized i wasn't using the Windows installations, and that I'd rather have the empty space back for my mac.
    I went into disk utility and deleted those two partitions.
    I restarted to make sure it worked. But now it can't find even my HFS partition.
    I used TestDrive, a free terminal-based piece of software to try to rebuild my partition map. No avail. On the other hand, I know what the start and end sectors are of the partition I want to recover. I don't care for the windows ones.
    I used the terminal "dd" command to make a sector-by-sector copy of it to a .dmg, but when i try to mount it, my mac tells me that it has no partition map and cannot be mounted.
    I don't want to spend money on this.
    I did not do a zero-data format. My data IS definitely on the drive. I never modified the drive after my accidental format.
    I pulled the drive out of my mac and installed a new one in. It was time for an upgrade anyway.
    On the new one, i reinstalled OS X 10.5.I don't know where my 10.6 disk is. The old partition was running Snow Leopard. That's where I've been transferring all this data to, but the transferred data doesn't mount.
    In the long run, I have an external HDD that i would put the final .dmg on. The .dmg would be an exact copy of my currently nonexistent partition so that I could just boot into my OSX disk and use Disk Utility to "restore" my new HDD to mirror that image.
    That should work, right?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    pchalla90

    That should work, right?
    Probably not. It is unlikely that the dd command copied the partition data necessary for Disk Utility to restore the raw sector contents to a partition -- basically, you have nothing to tell it how to map the file system (assuming it is intact) into the partition scheme of the drive. I'm not familiar with TestDrive, so I don't know if or how it could supply this missing info, but my guess is that you will have to do that to use the dmg.
    Whatever you do, do not allow anything to be written to the original drive. Data recovery directly from it may be your only hope.

  • How to get data from an existing Excel file using report generation toolkit

    I'm trying to use the Excel Get Data vi from the report generation toolkit, but i can't figure out how to turn a browsable path into the right type for the VI.  I've tried using the New Report.vi, but that doesn't work unless you use a template.  It won't open an existing excel file and make it an open report to pull data from.
    Essentially, i have a bunch of excel files that have data in them and i want to use a VI to analyze the data.  So, i'm trying to pull in all the data directly from the excel file so i don't have to reproscess them all into text so i can use the more standard spreadsheet VIs.  But to even convert the excel file programtically in labview won't i still need to be able to open the excel file and get the data?
    Solved!

    I C.
    Got it,
    the reason why I can view it using my Excel file because its in .CSV.
    I open Microsoft Excel to open .CSV file.
    But you can also open .csv file with notepad.
    So, you cannot open .xls with Read Spreadsheet File
    I learn something everyday

  • HT1766 After restoring yesterdays icloud back up one of my Apps has lost all its data.  How can I get the data back as its important to me.

    I accidentally added a passcode to my ipad mini after yesterdays IOS7 update.   I then promptly forgot the passcode (I think apple secretly changed it really).
    Its taken me 2.5hours to figure out how to reset my ipad after discovering there was no other way of getting into my ipad around the passcode.
    Luckily my ipad backs up every evening to icloud so i had a new back up sat waiting for me.
    Annoyingly, itunes wouldnt let me restore the factory settings as the "find my phone" thing was switched on.  The only way to turn it off appeared to be via my ipad which I was unable to get into.
    I eventually figured out how to restore it without this problem, by pressing the home button as I turned it on and then getting itunes to recognise it as a new ipad and restoring its settings that way.
    Following this it was relatively simple to restore my icloud back up.
    Everything appears to be here, my calander, my contacts etc.  All my apps have been restored and Im yet to find any app that has missing data except for one (naturally the one that is most important to me).
    This one app appears to have been returned to my ipad but it no longer has any data attached to it.  I have lost everything.  Payment info, Client info etc.
    Is there any way of recovering the data.  I presume its floating around the ether somewhere given I automatically back up to icloud every night.
    Cheers

    There's one other variable, although it shouldn't really come in to play but worth checking anyway.  Is it possible that the backup was made using a higher version of iOS than the one you are running now?  For example, if you were running the iOS 7 beta, then restored to version 6.1.3, the backup would not be listed as you cannot restore to a backup made on a device running a higher version of iOS.  If that's the case, you would have to update to the same or higher version of iOS in order to access your backup.
    Also, you can redownload apps and certain other purchased media (in most countries) as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

    Hi,
    You can get it from "User" or "Shop" business object.
    Try to get User or Shop Business Object as shown below.
    BusinessObjectManager bom = (BusinessObjectManager) userSessionData.getBOM(BusinessObjectManager.ISACORE_BOM);
    User user = bom.getUser();
    char decimalNotation = user.getDecimalPointFormat().getGroupingSeparator();
    If you are seeing "1,234.00" then above code will return "."
    I hope this information help you to resolve your issue.

  • How do I get data back on my Numbers created inventory that was supposedly removed by spotlight?

    How do I get data back on my Numbers created inventory that was removed by Spotlight recently?  It seems to have happened after upgrading.

    Thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately when I click on "revert to" it shows no document.  It's very strange that the rest of my old inventories on numbers remain.  It is only my 2014 entries that went into a black hole somewhere.  When I click on my inventory pages it says: "OS X spotlight search information was removed."  It seems to have occurred after I recently updated Numbers.  I never did anything to have it removed and never got any kind of warning to my knowledge that it was about to be removed.  Very frustrating!

    If you mean you accidentally removed the icon for iMovie from the Dock (the array of icons at the bottom of the window), you can add it back easily.
    Open the Applications folder (if you open it from the Dock you may then need to click the Open in Finder icon), locate the iMovie program.
    Drag the icon for iMovie down to the Dock, somewhere between the icon for Finder and the dashed line toward the right.
    Wait for the icons at that spot to move aside, then drop it in.

  • I downloaded a cheap PDF editor and it converted all my PDFs to their software. Then when I deleted it, I cannot open them in the Adobe format any longer. Please let me know how to get them back!

    I downloaded a cheap PDF editor and it converted all my PDFs to their software. Then when I deleted it, I cannot open them in the Adobe format any longer. Please let me know how to get them back!

    It's important to understand that when this sort of thing happens files aren't "converted" at all.
    In Windows and Mac, there is just one app (program) that it run when you double click a type of file. There's an app for Word documents (Microsoft Word). There's an app for PDF files. So all that happened is that you installed an app which can open PDF files.
    Nothing changed in the files. You can still open them the traditional way if you forget double click - start the app, use Open from the File menu.

  • I accidentally got into the full page view and would rather see the tabs at the top. how to get that back?

    i want to have the menu items at the top of the page but accidentally lost them. how to get them back?
    thanks

    Press F11 and see if that works. I also just noticed upon researching that pressing the restore button will take you out of full screen!
    Note: if you click on any flash object, right before hitting F11, it won't work. In this case just double click on like the scroll bar.
