Booting up an ASUS S200E using another PC

I have an ASUS S200E whose tactile screen has just broken.
I need to get at the hard drive to recover some of the data. Can I do this using another type of portable (eg IBM thinkpad) I successfully did this with an Apple G4 laptop and a Mac Pro. The G4 came up on the screen of the mac pro as an external hard drive and I could get all the data form it no problem. Is it possible to do this with an ASUS and some other portable?
If not, how can I get the data on this hard drive?
thanks for any light you can shed

Over the past few weeks, Spicerex and I have been catching up on a little known TV series called Game of Thrones. Unfortunately, I don't have a TV service which allows me to watch it, so we've had to resort to Blu-Ray
Spicerex commented that he would love to visit some of the locations that were used for the show. Little did he know a lot of Game of Thrones is filmed in Northern IrelandI had a few days off work so with that in mind, we grabbed a friend of mine who has starred as an extra in the show (and fought on both sides during the Battle of Blackwater) as a guide and we headed out.Spicerex insisted that he do the driving, but his arms were too short to reach the gear stick.I suggested that he would feel more comfortable riding in the back seat.Full Disclosure: yes, they are all mine and yes, that's what the back seat of my car...

Black Screen - Get Chime - Can Boot off HDD using another Mac - iMac 24in.

Hope someone can help me here, as I'm at my wits end.
I've got two issues, one with my MacBook Pro 17in, 4GB RAM, 160GB 7200rpm (2008) and another with my iMac 24in. 4GB RAM, 500GB 7200rpm (2009).
Firstly the MBP, left work on Thursday last week, got home, powered up the MBP and got a black screen!!! Tried resetting PRAM, SMC, booting in safe mode, removing and re-installing RAM, removing battery and mains power and leaving off overnight etc etc, yet nothing happens. Benn all over the forums and have not found any solution to get my beloved MBP working on it's own. I can boot off the HDD using another MBP 15in, re-install Snow Leopard and as far as I can tell the HDD is fine, as I have run disk utility and it tells me the HDD is OK.
I can't figure this out and it's doing my head in, as I use this laptop for business use and just can't afford to go out and buy another Mac. I should point out that this MBP never had any issues when running on Leopard, but ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I have had nothing, but trouble. I did a clean install, in fact I have done it at least twice, even erasing the HDD securely, both at 7pass and 35pass, yet I have had permissions issues regularly and on the odd occasion, I have also had the problem of the HDD not being recognised.
The iMac is nearly the same, but the screen is working, although the iMac doesn't see the HDD no matter what way I do, again, reset PRAM, SMC, safe boot etc etc. In truth the iMac has been a lot more unreliable, but with the screen working, if I can get any solutions here, then I'll be working to work on that without the need or hassle of working via another.
I think that the MBP is only just still under warranty, but the iMac definitely is, but I need at least one working for business use, so really only want to let Apple have one at a time to look at/repair etc.
Ideally, as the HDD is working in the MBP, if I could get a solution to the black screen issue, then I could do without the iMac for whatever time it takes, so if there is anyone out there that can help, I'd be so grateful.
One last thing, when I bought the iMac 24in., I also bought an iMac 20in., but I never upgraded the 20in. to Snow Leopard and to this day, it has worked flawlessly, without a single issue ever.
Perhaps, I'm getting paranoid here, but there seems to me to be a link between the ongoing and regularly occurring problems with both Macs ant the upgrade to Snow Leopard. Why also, or is it just pure unadulterated coincidence that both the MBP and the iMac 24in have failed at pretty much the same time??!!!!
I'm going mental here, so I hope someone out there has a better fix, then me overdosing on Prozac!!
PS
I'm not a mac expert, not good with a soldering iron either, but I'm capable of following good instructions.

Using Snow Leopard forum is probably your best bet.
I don't care if someone has 20+ yrs, I still like having a good troubleshooting book/manual handy.
Mac: can't get by without bootable backups, even if you use TimeMachine, clone your system. Save you all this fuss and work.
Then invest in high quality disk repair and maintenance program.
Disk Warrior / TechTool Pro 5 / Drive Genius 3 - top 3 probably
There are always going to be normal items you just ignore with Repair Permissions. Useful to do once in a while but not magic. Same with SMC and the rest. Running disk repair is one of those things that it seems should be done before there is trouble, not after, and a weakness in HFS file system and disk directory.
Apple Support is a good place to start looking and then hardware category.
http://www.apple.com/support
http://www.apple.com/support/imac /macbookpro etc
Make sure all your software is current, don't install anything you are unsure of or can do without.
Run Apple Hardware Test off your OEM DVD specific to the Mac.
Now, have you Googled for this?
have you looked at reports about 500GB drives used in some Macs that had issues and were offered firmware update for the drive?
Considered just using another drive connected to iMac?
You can overheat a hard drive with needlessly running 7 and 35-write pass, besides which the best way to map out bad blocks is not Disk Utility.

Boot Cam Assistant Cannot be used... +more troubles...

i may have done something wrong but let me first explain and your opinion would then be very welcome...
got my SL update this friday so i install it in my macmini (early 09), installation go well. It kep my boot camp partition unchanged and working relatively well. untill i install bootcamp for windows after booting up on XP.
I restart on OS X and it hangs for nearly 15min. the slowest boot up i've experienced so far.
Once i'm able to login to my OS account I no longer see the bootcamp partition on "start up Disk"'s system preferences. and when i attempt to run Boot Camp assistant i get this message ....
Boot Cam Assistant Cannot be used
You must update your computer's Boot ROM
firmware before using this setup assistant.
another message appears when i go to "start up disk" in system preference. Although i only see my OS X partition, when i click back on "show all" this message appears:
You can't change the startup disk to the selected disk
The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk
What went wrong and what can be done to correct this very annoying ordeal.
i'm able to boot on xp by pressing "option" whilst restarting my mac. however, bootcamp on windows is able to see OS X partition.
Your help is appreciated.
thanks

nobody has anything to say about my problem???
should i have to re-install everything ? and can a SL update DVD allow an installation from scratch ?

Use another Mac as superdrive

I have the problems with my Super Drive that a lot of you guys seem to have: not being able to load a DVD.
I wonder if it's possible to use another Mac as an external Super Drive connected with a Firewire cable. I have a MacBook here at home and maybe I could use that one with my MacBook Pro. I wan't to install a software I only have on a DVD.
Is it possible? Or is it a better solution to install software without a functioning Super Drive?
Regards
/Jonas

OF course it's possible, and it's the easiest way to do it!
How to:
1)Put ur macbook (the one with the working superdrive) in target mode, holding the "T" while booting
2)connect ur macbook pro to the macbook with the firewire, and u should have access to all devices connected, like superdrive, external hd, internal hd ecc ecc
3)insert the dvd with software to be installed in ur macbook superdrive
4) run the installation from ur macbook pro, the dvd should just appear on your desktop as it was in ur macbook pro superdrive
it has been a while since when i first did that!
i've a faulty SD too on my macbook pro 4,1! ouch!

my issue is it boots slow and when its running i feel like theres somthing going on in the background but ive looked at log in items and i see nothing there other than smc fan control, logmein, istat menus. you know how when your machine is crunching data you can hear it, well thats kinda whats going on only im not actually doing anything.. i tried the permission thing i tried the disk thing i tried time machine tried the start up disk thing even unplugged my two tb external... nothing seems to work. i was thinking since i have all my stuff backed up is there a way to get snow leapord back on this machine? i lost my disks and the back up didnt work apparently lion removed any snow leopard back up that there was and im now currently running mountian lion (i like it but im wondering if its too much OS for the hardware), i really dont want to buy a new machine i mean its only a few years old and i have 820 gigs free on a 2 tb internal drive so i see no reason to buy new. any help would be greatly appreciated..

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the system log for messages that may indicate a hardware fault. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

Firefox seems to be my only browser that puts ads on my Facebook page. How can I stop this? I love Firefox but hate the ads and will use another browser until it's solved.

Whenever I open Facebook through Firefox I get pop up ads and such. I do not seem to get this when using other browsers like Safari or IE. It's sooo annoying!!! I will use another browser until it's solved.

Since you have encountered the problem at other sites, not just Firefox, I'd bet that it is an Internet Explorer problem, not the web sites. Actually, I am sure it is an IE problem.
Try running Windows Update, perhaps there are some updates for Internet Explorer that might resolve the problem. If you don't know how to run Windows Update, use the Help on your system to look for information on Windows Update.
If that does not help, use Google to search for information on IE9 locking up when downloading.

You can't buy another one. You have to reuse one of the accounts previously set up on your phone, or create a new one to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.

How to use another java program to stop this running prpgram???

Dear Sir:
I have following code and I run it success,
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.io.*;
public class CertainAndRepeatTime{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
    int delay = 1;
    Timer timer = new Timer();
    ActionListener actionListener = new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
          System.out.println("Hello World Timer");
    System.out.println("What do you want (Certain time or Repeat time)?");
    System.out.print("Please enter \'C\' or \'R\' for that: ");
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    String ans = in.readLine();
    System.out.print("Please enter ans=" + ans + " IsTrue= " + (ans.equals("R") || ans.equals("r")) +"\n");
    if (ans.equals("C") || ans.equals("c")){
      //System.out.println("This line is printed only once start...");
      timer.schedule(new TimerTask(){
        public void run(){
          System.out.println("This line is printed only once.");
      },delay,1);

          public void run(){
            System.out.println("This line is printed repeatedly.");
        },delay, 1000);
      while(true){
           //System.out.println("Charles print This line is printed repeatedly.");
      } //This will make your main thread hang.
    else{
      System.out.println("Invalid Entry.");
      System.exit(0);
    System.exit(0);
}But I hope to use another java program to stop it when it is running instead of pressing CRTL + C to stop it.
How to do it??
Any example??
Thanks a lot!!

Sorry, I think i did not express cearly. It is my fault.
I re-write my requirements again:
I have
Class AAA1.java,
Class AAA2.java,
Class AAA3.java,
Class AAA20.java...
etc
they all look like the program I posted first time,, once executed, they will run for ever, and they will be stopped until I press CRTL + C;
Now I hope to use another java class StopProgram.java to stop them 1 by 1 or at once instead of pressing CRTL + C;
In this case, how to code this StopProgram.java ??
Thanks

How to use another panels in status line

Hi Everyone:
Can anybody tell me how can i use another panels in the
Console's status line, I'm using the message line but i need to
show the user's name and Date-Tiem in another section of the
status line and not in display controls as i'm already doing it.
Thanks.

Do you really need a JSF component for that? You can use h:panelGroup and some JS. But a simple div with some JS is also sufficient.

I have an icloud email account that my spouse used and he is gone now, can I delete this one and use another or will this delete information?

I have an icloud email account that was set up by my spouse and I am trying to get rid of everything with him on it due to the nature of the split and want to make sure he can never access the childrens and my photots, music, etc.
In this I wanted to change the email address in icloud so that I no longer get his emails from his contacts, friends, etc. I made an alias but is there anyway to delete this icloud email address and use another or will this delete all of our data?
New at this icloud and its real cool but afraid to lose all my information.
Help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Deleting the account from the phone will do only that! it won't affect any other information on any other device.
