Does Novo Button depend on the partitions?

I 've recently purchased an Ideapad S400U. I am thinking to wipe everything from it. That is, I'll delete the OEM Windows 8 and its related partitions. That is because I intend to install Windows 8.1 (I've got its test version from DreamSpark).
Besides that, I'll install some linux distro too, and dual boot it with Windows 8.1
My question is: will my Novo button continue to work after I delete all the partitions? I mean: Lenovo recovery partition, Windows (U)EFI partition, Windows Recovery partition, Windows SSD caching, really everything. I am concerned in ending with a bricking ultrabook. I want at least to have access to the EFI firmware configuration ("old BIOS").
How does the Novo button works? It depends on some of these partitions, or I can delete them safely and it will continue to provide me access to its 4 options?

Hi thiagowfx,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Novo button will still give you the menu prompt but One option there is One Key Recovery and that Software may not work as it is the one depending on a partition of the original system image.
One Key Recovery is a Reinstallation image that reverts the system back on how it was imaged from the factory. It is on a hidden partition on the Harddrive and have a special attribute and path.

The new ribbon user interface in Win 8.1 should display appropriate buttons depending on the currently displayed folder within the explorer.exe window.

To begin with, in file-explorer (.\system32\explorer.exe) normally, the new ribbon user interface in Win 8.1 does indeed display appropriate buttons depending on the currently displayed folder within the explorer.exe window.
But when one re-parents the explorer window handle to any window handle other than 0000 (desktop's window handle), then the UIRibbon fails to do so.
You might ask 'Who does that ?' and I would say no-one usually, however I use BrightExplorer which
is a great little app that gives me a tabbed file-explorer experience.
Now, this app works fine since Windows 7, but with Windows 8 the file explorer introduced the new UIRibbon in its UI. It's that new UIRibbon that gets confused by what I think may be be caused by the re-parenting that BrightExplorer does
to pull a file explorer session into its tabbed control.
This phenomenon relates to Windows 8 + and is observed only by doing the following steps:
Download BrightExplorer from BrightNewWorlds.com by going here: BrightExplorer,
In the address bar go to This PC,
then go to any other folder and note that the UIRibbon is not keeping track of the changing folder selections.
Does anyone out there feel that they can do something about this, or have advise?
Kind regards,

Does OWB 10.2 need the partitioning option?

I've seen partitioned tables owned by the OWB repository owner in a db I'm managing, so does this mean I need the partitioning option on EE (9.2)? Or when the repository is built, does it partition tables automatically if the option is installed or not? I am not using partitioning for the data, so it's just a question about OWB configuration, 10.2 OWB.
Thanks
Martin

Hi Martin ,
As far as I know Partitioning option is mandatory if you are using Data Profiling

Disabling button depending on the Value of a field in a standard page

Hi,
How can I disable a button depending on the value selected in a particular field of the same page? Is it possible to do so in a Oracle standard page? Please guide me in resolving this requirement.
Thanks,
Swagatika

Swagatika,
You can attach PPR event to the textinput field and use method
pageContext.ForwardImmediatelyToCurrentPage().As process request method will be called again,here you can use method setDisabled(boolean) in OAsubmitButtonBean, to enable or disable your button!

Does SharePoint search depend on the structure of the site

Hello All
I am a be gainer in sharepoint server 2010
My question is, in front of me there are two structure for storing the document
one --
The are hierarchical structure like
My site -- Team site -- India --
IT -- document library 1 -- list of documents
Sales -- document library 2 -- list of documents
Consulting -- document library 3 -- list of documents
and flat structure like
My site -- Document center --
document library 1 -- list of documents
document library 2 -- list of documents
document library 3 -- list of documents
Now my question is , would it be easier to find a doc, if all of the documents are in one document center? or it does not matter, whether they are on the page(hierarchical) structure?please give a details overview if possible
Nilanjan

It depends on the query you are using to find the document. In your first example you can find all the documents related to Sales by searching on 'Sales' and finding that document library. In the second example it would depend on how the documents
are tagged with metadata. If all the Sales documents have Sales as a value in one of the columns associated with the document you could still find Sales. The structure itself doesn't affect the search result. But the hierarchical structure
may add context that can be used in searching that may not be present other ways.

Enable Delete button depending on the shopping cart status

Hi all,
My requirement is Enable the delete button if the status of selected shopping cart is 'Awaiting Approval' in header and item level.
Technical detail of delete button : Component : POWL_UI_COMP
                                                  WINDOW : TABLE
                                                  VIEW : VIEW_TABLE
                                                   TOOLBAR BUTTON ID : F_DELETE.
please help...

Thinking aloud,
- should the button be a resource from Webcenter, you could modify its visibility (property) via EL: #{WCSecurityContext.userInGroup['Administrators']} will display the button only if the user is in Administrators group
- does your portlet have a parameter like that? If so, you should be able to fill it in with EL. If not, I doubt you will be able to achieve visibility changes - you might try to contact the producer of your portlet to do the necessary changes, though.

What does problems were found with the partition map mean

Why is there a problem when I run my disk utility that says "problems were found with the partition map that which might prevent booting"? Why is there a problem????????

You have to repair your partition map. It's the most important part of the hard drive related to software, because if the partition map doesn't work, the whole hard drive is useless.
As you have OS X Lion, you should be able to repair it while OS X is started. Open Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities), choose your hard drive at the top of the sidebar, and press the button to repair the disk. What do you see in the blank box?
Also, after choosing the hard drive in Disk Utility, tell me the SMART status, at the bottom of the window. You may also want to check the Macintosh HD status

Hide the characteristics grouping buttons depending on the sales order type

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to find a way to hide a characteristics grouping button (CU50) whenever a certain sales order type is issued.
A condition was created that states that a certain characteristic will be invisible for the user depending on the sales order type chosen for that case. The characteristic is located inside a char. grouping button.
I would like to know id there is a way to hide the button while the characteristic is hidden as well, just to avoid showing a button which is empty.
If It is of any help, here is the condition created to turn the char invisible:
$SELF.INVISIBLE = 'N01017_E'.
*if not $self.N01017_E specified
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards.

Hi!
Sounds like you need a line-triggered output (with a message, which displays all lines of the order).
Do you have problems to create a new output type?

Christian

HT5639 I am attempting to install windows 7 ultimate on a mid2012 production macbook pro using Bootcamp 5 in Mountain Lion. Whenever I set the partition size and tell it to continue, the program quits unexpectedly. I have done this about 5 times now. Sugg

The lead-in above pretty much states the problem. I am attempting to install Windows 7 from a disk, but that is not the issue. Boot Camp 5 just quits and reopens. I then repeat. Help.

I am about to run specialized GIS software that may or may not need the full machine resources. I am an attorney who uses QuickBooks for my accounting. The Mac version does not do as much as the Windows version. This is from both Apple and Quick Books professionals. I am using Parallels Desktop version 8 at this time. It does not support QuickBooks Windows version per Parallels. Any other questions? I am a highly competent PC user who is new to Macs. I am entitled to my own configuration choices. That said, I know when I need help which is now.
As to the free space issue I have 665.18 GB free space out of 749.3 GB on the drive. I am not trying to run the 32 bit version. I know that it requires the 64 bit version. Besides, it does not get that far in the process. As I said Boot Camp asssitant terminates unexpectedly as soon as you hit the continue button after setting the partition size. Therefore I conclude that it does not have a chance to see which version of Windows that I am using. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit version in the virtual engine (to use Parallels speak), but again Boot Camp would not see that since it is not running. It can't run at the momenet because Apple just installed a new hard drive and I have just restored the data from TIme Machine and Parallels needs reactivated, which I have not done yet deliberatley. With all of this addtiional information do you have any further suggestions? Thanks for your time and interest my issue.

I cannot enter the BIOS mode on my Yoga Ideapad - Novo button does not do anything

Hi,
I have a win 8.1, and cannot access the Bios in any way I tried.
I shut down the computer, pressed the Novo button - nothing happens.
Pressed it while turning the computer on, nothing happens.
I'd like to change the F keys to their normal state (being Fn keys and not volume etc.).
How do I do this?
Thanks,
Iram

Reboot while holding down Shift, choose Advanced -> UEFI Firmware Settings, voila you're in the bios.

With apple insurance, how much does it cost to get the home button fixed?

My home button is not working reliably; I would like to know how much it would cost to get it fixed if I have the apple insurance.

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

Hi Docol,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to inform you that there is no NOVO button in your K410 Computer, but the OKR (One Key Recovery) menu can be accessed by tapping on “F2” key once turning on the computer until the Lenovo Rescue System open, then select OneKey Recovery. Below is the link to download the User Guide for the computer and refer page no. 20 for the steps to access and perform OKR.

I've tried safe mode but I dont understand what is happening. I tried pressing the power button on and off for several times and nothing happens, I'm always stuck on an apple logo and a spinning wheel. I dont know how to get to the Partition and the DiskU

I've tried safe mode but I dont understand what is happening. I tried pressing the power button on and off for several times and nothing happens, I'm always stuck on an apple logo and a spinning wheel. I dont know how to get to the Partition and the DiskUtility. The Apple Logo and the Progress Indicator will continue to spin and I have literally no idea what to do. i am in desperate need of help. help me pls

Turn it off.
Start it up again and (at the sound of the chime) press and hold the command and the R keys, hold them down until Recovery loads. When it does you will select Disk Utility and you should be on the First Aid tab when it opens, if you are not please select it. Then select the partition (in the side bar, 2nd entry on the list, see picture).
Yours is probably called Macintosh HD.
Once you have selected it go to the lower righthand corner of the First Aid dialog and press Repair Disk.
This will take 10 minutes approximately. Post back when it is finished and tell me what it says.

Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ?
