Disk crash, need recovery strategy help.

We had a two drive failure on our AS400 and had to reinstall the operating system. Can we install A7.3 from scratch and then copy in our libraries from our latest backup and JDE function properly? Any ideas would help!

Well, it may be that I am not correctly understanding your disaster situation. I am assuming that you have the same IBM CPU and same IBM hardware serial number. It sounds like you had to replace a disk drive and a tape drive, but not the actual CPU itself. Now it does sound like your operating system backup was eaten up by the tape drive and lost, and thus you are saying you had to reinstall the IBM operating system? Would you not have a slightly older backup tape that you could recover from? Even if you did not and had to reinstall the operating system, JDE World is fairly independent of the OS/400 itself (other than needing to run on it). So I am thinking that you do NOT need to reinstall JD Edwards. You should be able to restore the JD Edwards libraries, though you would need to have the QGPL library as part of that restore process, and run okay.
If my assumptions are wrong, then what I said may not apply. Certainly if you restore onto a new CPU, with a different serial number, you will have to contact JDE support to get a new license key. When doing a hot site test, I restore the operating system, and then restore all the user libaries, get new license keys, and I am up and running. Note that in a hot site test I did not have to do a reinstall of JDE. But certainly the difference maybe that in a hot site test, I am restoring the operating system from backup tape (so not reinstalling OS/400). So I have not personally been involved in the exact situation that you may be facing (I doubt many folks have such experience).
You probably want to be in touch with JDE support and look to them for guidance on what to do, giving them your exact restore situation that you are facing.
Hope this helps a little bit. Bit surprised that these days a disk failure would cause a system crash (have not seen that since the 1980s) - most systems have disk mirroring or RAID of some kind now. So the system can still run while waiting for the disk drive to be replaced (perfomance may suffer, but better that than losing the whole system).
Good luck.

After a disk crash and recovery disk reload, I'm left w/o address book. any suggestions for a recovery?

There is a discontinuity in time machine, I think it happened last week. I've used the recovery disk partition and time machine, as well as Super
Duper. The time machine full restore left addressbook and mail disfunctional. I then ran Super
duper, which recovered Mail, but not address book
Any suggestions? BTW, as far as I know, the data for address book is still in the Library, it'"s only the app that's Missing

Thanks for your reply John, but that didn't do the trick for me. I called Apple's professional audio support. Even though I didn't get the answer I wanted to hear, the support was awesome - the guy was very knowledgeable and helpful. Basically, the error I'm experiencing is a nasty one if it appears with pro apps like Logic. He indicated my only recourse was to re-install Logic. Since I'm on Logic 7, I figured if I have to re-install, might as well upgrade to Logic 8. I'm mid-project right now, so I'm pretty nervous doing that, but not much choice.

Computer has crash,need someone t help-. can't get anything on screen

My computer went out Friday, telling me it is due to firefox crashing. I can get absolutely nothing on my screen. I need my computer for work as well as personal, I need it restored yesterday. I did all that appeared in the pop ups, sent all the reports, etc. Nothing. Will someone please call me to guide me in the restoring of my computer. I'm at XX awaiting your call.

Until you get the computer working you will not be able to sort out Firefox.
When you do get the computer working you will be able to attempt to get crash IDs.
You can use another browser if necessary to obtain crash IDs

As for sorting out the computer problems, that is not really on topic for this site, and what you need to do will depend on your OS. You may have safe mode type startup options on the computer.

Need Workflow Strategy Help

I'm hoping you all can give a noob some workflow tips on a developing project, so I don't go up blind alleys.
I am recording a performance--a play including 12 songs. I am planning to give a CD of the songs to the cast and crew as a gift. I am recording from a PreSonus 24.4.2 board via Firewire.
I have used PreSonus Capture to record one performance, using about 14 channels. I plan to record two or three more performances, then audition each song for the best version among the three or four tries and put the all the best choices on the CD.
I will record each show continuously, with lots of dialog and other material not to be recorded on the final CD. (I'm not the sound guy, so I don't want to interrupt his work.) Each take, therefore, is abourt 1.5 hours of uninterupted audio: Start at the beginning, stop at the end. Last night's performance resulted in a 25 gig folder.
Here's my plan:
1. Import each performance into Logic
2. Audition all four performances for the best of each song.
3. For each song, import the best take to a new Logic file, excluding all dialog and other unwanted material
4. Work on the new Logic file for mixing.
I'm battling my way through the manual and the Exploring Logic Pro/Demo to bring me up to speed. In the meantime, am I on the right track? Is there a simpler way?
I also plan to search these boards for helpful secondary reading, but if you guys have suggestions, I'b be grateful.
Finally, my work in FCP suggests I should use a backup disk for my source files, leaving my main computer (recent thunderbolt iMac) for processing. Is this advisable, or does it not matter?
Thanks.

If you have 14 Tacks (14 audio files) per show and you record three shows, then I would just stick with one Logic Project. It saves you a lot of opening and closing and it is easier to compare takes.
Create one Logic Project, create the 14 Audio Tracks and import the 14 audio files form show #1 onto the 14 Tracks, then import the 14 audio files from show #2 onto the same 14 tracks after the first batch of audio files, and so on. I guess the track assignment is the same so this method of dealing with one master Project requires only to set the balance between the 14 tracks once. Setting the levels for one show and you done for the other shows too. The project gets fairly long 1.5h x3 = 4.5h but that doesn't matter. Use marker and the zoom in-out tool to navigate quickly.
Now cut and truncate the audio regions to isolate the songs. Create a Track for the Master Channel and use the Track Automation to create some nice fade in and outs of the songs. The automation is similar to FCP, instead of keyframes, Logic called them nodes. You can also add plugins on the master channel to do some quick mastering adjustments (EQ, compressor, etc)
Once you you've chosen the versions of the songs and did the cleanup and leveling, just export (bounce) each song as an aiff audio file. Put the aiff files into iTunes and burn the CDs then from there.
One thing to consider. For Audio CDs as the final destination it would be good to have the Logic Project already in 44.1kHz. However if your output from the show is 48k, then set the Logic Project to 48 (before importing any files). Do the conversion when you export from Logic or you can let iTunes do the transcoding when you burn the CD.
If you looking for Logic material to read up on this fine application, I wrote several manuals over the years that I made available for free on my website http://DingDingMusic.com/Manuals/. Scroll down on the page, there is a link for the "Free Manuals". As a FCP user you might find some other useful material on the website.
Putting the audio files on an external drive is only necessary if you don' thane enough space on your internal drive. You are dealing with straight audio streaming and not complex sampler instruments I guess your machine can handle that. Look at the Navigation Bar. There is an indicator how much you burden the CPU and the Drive.
Hope that helps

How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed.

You have limited opportunity to attempt to create a backup of your created files.
That is what the SafeBoot or safemode appears to allow you -- at the moment.
Since the hard disk drive exhibits signs of failure or other major issues, plan
on a replacement in the near future. You may be able to get the computer to
start up in a regular full OS X (not safe mode) but consider its hours are limited.
An externally enclosed hard disk drive (with own power supply, not relying on
Mac ports to run it) is a good basic means of which to use a disk utility to make
a copy or a Clone of the current OS X. This may help retrieve an archive that
could be used along with a Time Machine backup, to restore your Mac once you
get a new hard drive installed inside.
Good luck & happy computing!

MacBook Pro crashing-need help

I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2012) running Mountain Lion. Today I hooked an external monitor to it, a Samsung 24" LED HD. It worked great for about 20 minutes and then the screen started flashing on and off. I tried to restart my computer and a window came up to reinstall from backup, reinstall Lion, use disk first aide or a clean install. None were good choices. Yesterday I had bought a new external hard drive and had planned to set up time machine tonight, so no back up yet. I ran disk first aide and it found no problems on the HD, but the permissions were wrong on several files, mostly iTunes files. One however, was something in the systems files and it said that it would not be repaired. I am currently reinstalling the operating system and hoping that my files are not gone. I am now afraid to try hooking the monitor back up. Has anyone else had this kind of problem when using a Samsung monitor? I did not download anything during the short time that I was using the external monitor and only went to a couple of websites that I normally go to. Any suggestions on what might have caused the crash? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
I just tried re-installing Lion and after about 30 minutes, it came up and said that there was an error and it could not install. I am trying again.

The startup disk may need repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Select: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions here.
While you have the startup disk selected in Disk Utility check Capacity and Available at the bottom of the window.
Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
And that S.M.A.R.T. Status says Verified

Recovery Oracle 10g XE after disk crash

Hi!
I am trying to recover 10g XE database for my colleague and experiencing some problems that I cannot resolve.
He had mayor overheating problem and disk crash due to the failure of air conditioning.
OS: Windows Server 2003
DB Version: 10.2.0.1.0
After disk crashed I've managed to save image of Oracle data files and tried to recover database using them.
Database was not running in archive log mode so all files that I had were database files, control file, parameter file and redo logs.
First error that I experienced on newly installation of Oracle Express Edition (10.2.0.1.0) was:
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 188743680 bytes
Fixed Size 1286460 bytes
Variable Size 62918340 bytes
Database Buffers 121634816 bytes
Redo Buffers 2904064 bytes
ORA-00227: corrupt block detected in control file: (block 16, # blocks 1)
ORA-00202: control file: 'C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL.DBF'
By default Oracle XE creates just one control file so I had just one incarnation of control file and apparently that file was corrupted so I tried to recreate control file.
With "ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE" I've created script for new control file but after script execution received error.
SQL> @c:\ctlfile.sql
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 188743680 bytes
Fixed Size 1286460 bytes

CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "XE" NORESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01161: database name \E in file header does not match given name of XE
ORA-01110: data file 4: 'C:\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\USERS.DBF'
I also tried to use:
"CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "XE" RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG..." in script but received the same errors.
Apparently database name is wrongly written in header of USERS.DBF and I don't know how to overcome this problem. Possible character set problem or data file corruption...
I used "CHARACTER SET AL32UTF8" character set.
I don't have any RMAN backups because all tapes were destroyed along with tape drive due to the air conditioning failure what caused overheating of small server room.
So if you have any idea how to open database I would be grateful for help.
Thanks!

Unfortunately this Metalink note is not solution to my problem.
My problem is database name written in the file header which is - "\E":
ORA-01161: database name \E in file header does not match given name of XE
It is obvious that database name stated in control file is not "\E" and because of that create control file script fails.
I don't know is data file corrupted and because of that I have in file header "\E", or this is some problem due to the character set, or XE Oracle software version, or something like that.
Anyway thanks for your help!
Regards,
Marko

Satellite A300 - Need recovery disk 2

Hii
Does anyone have the recovery disk 2 for A300? I have disk 1 but missing disk 2 :(
Hope someone can help me or send me a link from where i can download the disk 2
Thankyou

Hi
Sorry but recovery image cannot be downloaded and if you want to use recovery image you must order it.
One more thing: Satellite A300 is nice notebook and runs perfectly with Win7 so I recommend you to use Win7 and not Vista.
To avoid recovery disc order, obtain Microsoft installation disc and install Win7. Im pretty sure you will be satisfied with it.

Help! Advice on recovering from a disk crash, please

My image disk crashed, and is unrecoverable. I thought that I been backing up regularly but, through nobody's fault but my own, the last 6 months of images weren't properly backed up. Sigh.
The good new is that my catalog is fine, having lived on another disk, and many of the original images, all raw's, are still intact on various flash cards. So, my question is, how should I proceed? Should I re-import them? Should I copy them by hand, and then help the catalog to find them if it doesn't? Or, ???
I'm on a MacOS 10.6.
Thanks much for any help with this!

OK, what I hoped would work does not
But one thing that could simplify bringing your copies from the flash cards into the structure and naming they should be to be recognized by your current catalog:
If you imported them into a temporary catalog, using the same naming and destination folder logic as when you originally imported them, this would bring the files into (or close to) the correct folder structure. Then in the main catalog, they could be reconnected easier if necessary at all. If you did have some kind of a date-based folder structure and did not do too much manual renaming, this should work quite well.
