Destructive recovery question(reformat)

If I do a destructive recovery, can I restore only certain things from time machine backup, like itunes library, mail settings, browser favorites, and a few programs.

I just want to restore certain things from the Time Machine backup. I dont want all of the files and plists left behind from uninstalled/deleted programs. I want a fresh install, but want to restore itunes, browser favorites, and most of my installed programs. Itunes is easy to make a backup of, but will I have to reinstall my programs.

Performed Destructive Recovery (I Think?) on my HP Pavilion m7480n and immediately get infected?

Hello to everyone on the Forum,
First off, I would like to mention that my computer skills are average at best..So, I apologize in advance for complicating matters ..My computer was recently infected by a Trojan.Agent/Gen-Cryptic Virus..With some help, I was able to delete the virus from my computer..Unfortunately, my computer wasn't the same after the Trojan/Virus was removed..I was then told, that it would be best to perform a fresh install of Windows XP.
I've performed two fresh installs of Windows XP(Destructive Recovery's- reformatting Hard Drive..Hopefully, I did them correctly), and for the life of me I can't figure out why my computer is immediately infected..As soon as I complete the System Recovery, I try to update the Norton Suite that is pre-installed on my computer..Unfortunately, I cannot perform a complete update because I keep getting a message telling me that some updates are corrupted..I immediately install MalwareBytes, Avast Antivirus and proceed to run scans for each program..I constantly get the same infections on my computer..I will post the results of the scans below..I'm completely stumped and want to pull out my hair ..lol..Can someone please Help!!

My advice, format the hard drive completely, then run the Recovery from CD/DVD set made when the PC was new or a set purchased from HP.
First, some questions. I would think that the infections are not part of the recovery, but just in case, has a scan been done of the Media that is used for the Recovery process? Obviously it has to be done with a non-infected PC. If the Recovery is being done from a DVD set, it should be OK, but it would not hurt to check. Second, the Recovery, when completed: Is the WinXP SP2 or SP3? From a non-infected PC, download the SP3 to a CD and then run that before connecting to the internet. Also make sure the anti-virus software and firewall software is installed before connecting to the internet. One could even load MalwareBytes. Run a scan before connecting to the internet. You may have to research how to get those items installed clean without allowing the suspect PC to connect to the internet. Report back if there is still an infection after doing it this way.
BTW: How did the weather bug get on a clean system?

I am trying to do a destructive recovery to a HP Compaq 6830s – XP Professional-
I backed up my entire system to an external hard drive.
I made sure that I was set to start from cd drive.
I put disk 1 in and started computer, click on any key to boot from cd
Windows setup came up
Bottom of screen says Setup is loading files and it started loading a bunch of files took about 5 minutes
I get the error:
BLUE SCREEN
A problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage.
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drive or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and restart your computer.
Technical Information
STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xc0000034, 0x0000000, 0x00000000)
I have checked for viruses, ran CHKDSK /F, and restarted my computer 5 times.

Hi:
That is interesting. I would have thought the recovery disks would have the SATA AHCI drivers installed.
Go into the BIOS and change the sata emulation mode from AHCI to IDE.
Save your settings there by hitting the F10 key and save again upon exiting.
Try your XP disk that way. It should install.
Then post back and I will give you the step by step instructions to change the BIOS setting back so the hard drive can perform a little better in AHCI mode which is why it is the default setting.
I may not be able to get back to you tonight, though.

Thank you

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Start first with these please:
KB28685 How to reset the BlackBerry ID password using the password recovery question
KB32111 "The link is no longer valid." is encountered when attempting to reset a BlackBerry ID password
KB26361 How to change or reset the BlackBerry ID password
KB28111 Unable to reset BlackBerry ID password when using a BlackBerry hosted email address
KB28232 BlackBerry ID reset email is not being delivered to the associated mailbox
If you have forgotten your BB ID credentials AND have non-BB access (e.g., Outlook, webmail, etc.) to the email account that is currently configured to your BB ID account, then those instructions should allow you to recover access to your BB ID account.
However, if you do not have access to that email account, then your challenge is much greater, and you have a choice to make depending on your circumstances:
If you have no AppWorld records that you require to retain (e.g., purchase records for apps), then simply abandon the BB ID and create a new one. To do so, however, does require a device WIPE:
KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
But, if you do have AppWorld records that you must keep, then you require human intervention. To receive that, you must ring up your mobile service provider and convince them to escalate your case up to BlackBerry. Further, you must convince BlackBerry to provide you with a solution -- which likely will either be resetting your current BB ID so that you can again access it or having you create a new BBID and they will manually move your purchase records over. Note that I have no idea if they will be willing to do this, but there is no other way that I know of to retain your prior AppWorld purchase records.
Good luck!

Blackberry ID recovery question

Hi.
I recently decided to come back to blackberry. I tried to reopen my old blackberry account I D but cant get past the security question cause it seems like my answer is wrong in the Recovery question. All I can think is that there might be a spelling error. I do need to get this ID working again and will not open another email adress to just get access again to Blackberry World. Where is a feature where a recovery link cant just be emailed to my email adress to reset my password? This is how everyone else does it.
I used of my gmail adress in the mean time to get another ID but this isnt what I want and secondly I want to use my old ID cause I have another Blackberry 9790 that will require that I get my ID working again. I want to let my daughter use the phone and I will use my old blackberry ID. I cant use the same Blackberry ID on two phones. I want to put BBM on the 9790 as well but with only one working ID at the moment I cant get BBM onto the second phone.
If I cant get the ID to work again I will just install whatsapp cause it will only need a cellphone number and avoid this whole complicated password recovery process.
The issue here is I dont want more email adresses created just to get back onto BB world. Complications like this drives clients with less patience away,,,,,,
Please assist with a solution.

can both of you try logging in to your BBID at www.bbid.com and enter the security question answer there?

Help Educate Me on an RMAN Recovery Question

Perhaps I am not understanding how recovery should work, so, let me lay out my situation:
First things first:
Oracle 11.2.0.2.5 on AIX 6.1
Source database: POR02P on a 4 node cluster
Auxiliary database: POR02x (single instance)
I want to duplicate my source database to my auxiliary database as of 02-APR-2013 at 3:00PM
Here are how my backups run:
LEVEL0 On Sunday at 8:00 AM
LEVEL1 Differential all other days at 8:00 AM
Intermediate Archivelogs backups run at the following times daily: 00:45, 11:45, 19:45
March 31 is my LEVEL0.
So, the way I understand things, to do this duplicate:
I need my LEVEL0 from Sunday
I need my LEVEL1 from Monday
I need my LEVEL1 from Tuesday
I need all my archivelogs from just before the LEVEL1 on Tuesday started all the way to after 3:00PM on Tuesday:
Restore archive backups from:
4/2 11:45
4/2 19:45
All my backups include a controlfile.
According to my above analysis, I made sure the required files were on disk.
After making sure my files were on disk, I went to my source database and ran the following to make sure Oracle had all the files it needs:
RMAN> run {
2> set until time = "to_date('02-APR-2013 15:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
3> restore database preview summary;
4> }
This above command succeeds and I can verify all the files it mentions are on disk.
Here is the problem, the restore of the LEVEL0 and LEVEL1's succeed. When it starts recovery, it fails asking for an archive log that both:
*1. Was not listed as part of the PREVIEW command*
*2. Is from a time between my LEVEL0 and first LEVEL1.*
I was under the impression that RMAN does not need archivelogs from BETWEEN incremental backups.
Am I wrong about this?
Doesn't an incremental LEVEL1 differential go back to the last incremental and get all the needed blocks thereby making the "in between" archivelogs obsolete?
If I am wrong about this, that solves part of my confusion...
The other part of my confusion is why does the PREVIEW command not specify the archivelogs it asks for during recovery?
If you can answer my question now, you can skip the rest.
Else, here are all the dirty details.
Here is mt PREVIEW command as run on the source database. The output supports how I think this should work:
RMAN> run {
2> set until time = "to_date('02-APR-2013 15:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
3> restore database preview;
4> }
executing command: SET until clause
Starting restore at 23-APR-2013 13:47:30

Here is my RMAN command:

For now, I won't paste in the entire output of the log,
just enough to see that it works fine through the restore,
then fails at an archivelog. If someone wants the whole
thing, I can add it in:

The archivelog is not reported as part of the preview
command. Also, shouldn't it's changes be included in
the next day's LEVEL1?
Thanks for anyone's time. Would be happy to provide
more info.

Levi,
Thank you very much for your insight.
However, I may have found something. I have not fully tested and found a solution so I have not posted an update yet...I want to make sure I have a complete answer. However, I will provide some details.
I decided to go ahead and restore ALL my archivelogs just to see if I could get the recovery to work.
It still did not work!
So, I happened to look at my alert log (can't believe I did not check it before) and I saw this:
Wed Apr 24 13:34:20 2013

Then, I looked on Metalink and found this:
Oracle Support Document 1098638.1 (Rman Duplicate fail ORA-19755, Tries Open The Block Change Tracking File of Source DB) can be found at: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=1098638.1
[https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=1098638.1]
Now, this document is very interesting within the context of the problem I am having. However, it says a few things:
1. This is fixed in the oracle patchset 11.2.0.2 as part of Bug 7500916.
---I am on patchset 11.2.0.2!
2. The workaround is to disable change tracking before duplicate.
---this is not really an option for me...we like having this turned on...it considerably speeds up our backups
3. Workaround is to set DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT in the SET-clause of duplicate, instead of using DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT setting in an init.ora or spfile.
---tried this...did not work
4. Workaround is to create a dummy file in the location where the error ORA-19755 is signalled.
---have not tried this yet
Another interesting thing to note:
My database is left in mounted state when it fails. After seeing this document, just for fun I:
SQL> alter database disable block change tracking;
Database altered.
And Then:
RMAN> run {
2> set until time = "to_date('02-APR-2013:15:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY:HH24:MI:SS')";
3> recover database;

media recovery complete, elapsed time: 00:00:08
Finished recover at 24-APR-2013 14:20:36
So, it finishes the recovery. However, I did not yet try to open resetlogs because this was originally a duplicate and doing an open resetlogs would not complete all the post-duplicate operations.
Also, looking at the logs applied when running the above recover, now it only uses logs that were specified in the original PREVIEW command.
I am going to play around some more and I promise I will post back with whatever results I happen across.

Drive partitioning and recovery question

My laptop is suffering some performance issues, and general cleanup doesn't seem to be doing much, so I was thinking of going through the recovery to give the laptop a fresh start.
The only thing is currently my DVD drive doesn't seem to be working, so backing stuff up is awkward, to put it mildly.
If I create a new partition of the HDD to store some of the files I want to keep, will the recovery process delete this? Or does it just get rid of the stuff on the C drive?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Which ever way, you need to backup your files/data to elsewhere, not on the SAME physical HDD.
Good luck.

File Recovery Question

Hi there, before I ask my question, let me explain my situation:
I lost all of my data off my hard drive partition, and used the program "Stellar Phoenix Macintosh 4.0". It is a recovery program that allowed me to view and retrieve my lost files from my deleted partition.
It managed to recover EVERY file in its original file structure.
Now, when I try to view pictures, play songs, or do ANYTHING with these files, they don't work, however the FILE SIZE makes sense: Pictures are 1mb-5mb. Songs are 2mb-15mb, etc.
For example: I get this error when trying to view jpgs:
The file filename.jpg could not be opened.
It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize.
I changed the permissions on the file so everyone can "read & write" but that still didn't help. I tried copying the files to another drive, but still no luck.
If someone could help me either with making the files readable, or a different setting on the recovery program, that would be great.
Is it possible that the files were viewed in 10.6.2 and I recovered them in 10.6.0?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

30 day trial, no money spent.
So why would anyone buy this Keith, if they could get full use out of it for up to 30 days, when just 30 hours would probably do ? Excuse the rhetorical question.
What is noticeable about the various file recovery programs is they let you sample them but mostly require payment if you want to seriously use them.
It is remarkable in the software universe of freeware, and OpenSource ware, that software recovery are the exception and give no free lunches, or at least none that I know.
*I suspect you will have to pay for this app to facilitate your file recovery*.
I'm not sure which one, but there is one that lets you restore one file, just to prove itself, but to get the rest you have to buy the software. Can't remember which one that is but see if you can find it, at least to prove something is recoverable before you fork out the money.
On the matter of creating a backup image using Disk Utility, did you do it according to these procedures?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
Still, if it has no mountable file system, I doubt if it can be created after the fact.
Sorry to be unable to throw some sunshine on your problems, but gee you are gonna have a great backup strategy in place after this. ...a little ray there.
P.S. You need to contact the providers of these software to clarify things - your expectations, payment, whatever.

U410 recovery partition reformatted, need help reinstalling Windows 8

Hi,
I have a Lenovo U410 with a 32GB SSD and a 750GB HDD that are treated as one drive. The previous owner reformatted the entire drive, which erased the recovery partition. Thus, I can'tmake a recovery disc or USB stick (the recovery partition would have to be intact for that to work anyway) and can't reinstall Windows 8.
Can anyone confirm that the recovery media I'd order from Lenovo support would be able to reinstall Windows 8? I'm afraid that they would send me a disc that needs the recovery partition to work.
Thank you.

You can give them (Lenovo support) a call and ask about it.
I did, they didn't know if it would work.
