Formatting Major Issue

Hello there
I wanted to format one of my HDD partitions (its NTFS) to Mac OS Extended Journaled
so I opened Disk Utility and I selected the specific partition that I wanted to format
I clicked Erase and select Mac OS Extended Journaled
its started but something went horribly wrong.
now all my 3 HDD partitioned disappeared but I only selected one!!!
I switched the HDD Off and then On, OS X shows my an Error Red message with Ignore and Eject...
I plugged the HDD on a WinXP I see non of my partitions yet. when I right-click on My Computer>Manage>Disk Management>Storage. I see the HDD with only 2 partitions, one is Healthy active and the other is unallocated (merged 2 partitions into one)
How can I recover the missing two partitions with all their important data and back-ups?
Please Help

Hi CenTR4L@Mac;
You might try Data Rescue II. You can download a demo copy which will tell you what it can recover. If it can recover enough data for you might want to pay for it and do the recovery.

  • Major issues with a T60 running Win 8!!!

    Hi,
    My daughters T60 which I refurb'd and installed Windows 8 has been running fine for 6 months and now has a major issue - contstant Blue Screens, programs crashing continually.  I've tried installing severla diagnostics but can't even get them installed. 
    I ran chkdsk /f and it said there were hardware issues but I haven't managed to trace them.
    I checked the seating of memory cards and they all seem secure.
    I guess a hdd format is next option,
    Sorry, bit lost - any recommendations on where to get a good diagnostic of the issue?

    Hello,
    Try booting the computer from Lenovo's self-booting Diagnostics CD or Diagnostics USB and using that to test the ThinkPad T60's hardware.  You will need to download and create these on another, working computer.

  • Major issue on HomeHub 5, confirmed on 2 separate ...

    I had a HomeHub 5 that was having the wifi freezing issue but only on one device, for those not aware of the problem it is when a device connects to wifi and works for a specific period of time and then all data will suddenly freeze although wifi is connected with a full signal strength, data transfer can only be resumed by turning the devices wifi off and on again at the sacrifice of any downloads you had going.
    I had experimented with wifi channel selection, wifi broadcast mode (802.11ac 1300mbps / 802.11a/n 300mbps) I then performed a factory reset of the Hub which didnt fix the issue and then subsequently formatted and factory reset the MacBook which also didnt solve the issue.
    At this point I presumed a faulty Hub so had a new one sent out by BT, I now have the new hub installed and proceded to start some heavy downloading to test the connection and I managed to get it to freeze within 5 minutes thus bringing me to the conclusion that the Hub 5 is having some major issues with its firmware.
    The old Hub 5 was on a newer firmware updated at Xmas which ended .1.6 the new one is on the firmware version prior ending .1.4
    If I connect my Hub 4 to the Hub 5 and use that as an access point and disable the Hub 5's wireless then the freezing disappears and I can do really heavy downloading with no problems so I know its not a problem with the MacBook's wifi.
    Other people have reported similar problems but with iPads and other devices so I know its not a case of me being unlucky.
    I know that this is a firmware issue as opposed to a hardware issue because I was fortunate enough to be on the Hub 5 trial and the initial firmware that came on the Hub 5 when it was still in trial was fantastic, really fast to connect and no freezing at all, my freezing issue came near the end of the trial when they rolled out the public release firmware I did report my findings at the time but unfortuantely it was too late for it to be fixed.
    I shall do some further experimenting before I return my old Hub 5 to see if setting it up as an access point and using another hub for DHCP hosting still has the same issue, if the wifi works fine with it as an access point then it could potentially lie in the DHCP part if it still exhibits the problem then the problem lies in the wifi part of the firmware.
    I shall keep the forum updated with my findings and hopefully the moderators can forward my findings back to the firmware team to get a fix out pronto as it appears quite a few are suffering with this.

    To set up an old Hub as an access point these instructions work on Hub versions 2,3,4,5
    >Disable the wifi card on your computer/laptop as you dont want to change settings on master hub by accident.
    >Power on old hub but do not connect to phone line just plug it into the wall and connect an ethernet cable from this to your computer.
    >Navigate to 192.168.1.254 on your browser this will bring up your hub configuration page.
    > Goto Advanced - Firewall - Configuration - Disable.
    > HUB 4 AND 5 ONLY: Goto Advanced - Home network - Smart Setup - Disable.
    > Goto Advanced - Home Network - IP addresses - In the IP address box type 192.168.1.10 and then click on DHCP server disable - apply. (Do both steps then hit apply or you will loose connection and it will be difficult to get back)
    > Now plug the old Hub into the main hub via ethernet or powerline network plugs and voila you have an access point.
    At this point you will have 2 seperate wireless networks broadcasting 2 names (ssid) and using 2 different wireless keys, which itself is not a problem just point your devices at the one you want to connect to and it will work, however now would be a good time to set yourself a nice custom SSID and wireless key that you can remember easily and to do this follow instructions below.
    To set master Hub goto 192.168.1.254 in your browser
    To set slave Hub goto 192.168.1.10 in your browser.
    Instructions are the same for both.
    Goto advanced - wireless - and now set SSID - Wireless key to a custom choice, if you are using the same SSID and Key for both hubs make sure you set the same security type or devices may not be able to connect to one or the other.
    My reccomended set up if you are temporarily substituting the Hub 5 wireless signal with another hub is to set both with the same SSID and Key and then disable the wireless on the Hub 5 until BT issue a firmware fix for the firewall, this will then save you having to set up all your devices again when you choose to use the Hub 5 wireless again, make sure you disable both wireless bands on the Hub 5 when doing this.
    I hope this helps.

  • I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues.  The screen is very slow to respond.  When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on.  I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on

    I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues.  The screen is very slow to respond.  When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on.  I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on and back off.  It is very, very frustrating.  The other issue is that the battery drains very quickly.  I have called Verizon numerous times regarding these issues.  They tell me to do different things that never help.  We eventually did a factory reset and it still has the same issues.  Help!  It is a brand new phone and unfortunately I am in a new two year contract.  Ugh. Is there anyone out there who can help me?

    I have done that several times.  In fact, every time I call Verizon with my phone problems, they have me do the same things repeatedly.  I keep telling them I have already done them but they insist they are SURE it will work this time.  It never does.  After doing the factory reset and it still not working correctly, they act like they are confused, almost like I am lying.  I did what you suggested above on the slim chance it would work this time but it did not.  I bought two S5's that day and the other one works perfectly fine.  I know I got a bad phone.  Verizon just does not listen.  It is a bad phone.  I just want a new phone that works properly.  Is that too much to ask?  I bought a new phone that has been bad from day one.  Why oh why do I have to spend hours of my time on the phone, in the store, on the computer, trying to rectify this?  It shouldn't be this difficult!  Help please!!!

  • Tap to click not working properly in Mountain Lion. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

    The tap to click does not work with mountain lion as it did before the mountain lion install. I purchased a brand new imac in August of 2011 and got a wireless keyboard and selected the wireless trackpad instead of a mouse.  The trackpad worked wonderful pre upgrade with tap to click. Now after the install of the newest beast, I have to actually press the trackpad rather than a slight tap. I have carpel tunnel and this is causing great stress upon my hand. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

    Perhaps, I was not clear enough.
    I have an imac purchased in Aug. 2011 which came with Lion 10.6 (two uprades before mountain lion)
    Recently, I just purchased a macbook pro retina with Mountain Lion
    On my imac, my settings allowed me to "tap to click" everything EXCEPT the initial log in at the star up of my imac, again running Lion 10.6
    On my macbook pro retina which has Mountain Lion, I set up the "tap to click" option, but notice that a "hard" click was neccessary when trying to click things. I thought this was a macbook thing (my first one) so I went and upgraded my imac to Mountain LIon, BIG MISTAKE! Now both my imac AND my macbook only have limited "tap to click" options. Before mountain lion I could "tap" to highlight and select text, tap and drag, and many other thiings that Mountain Lion has disabled.
    I am truly surprised that no one has noticed this MAJOR issue.
    Is there a way to uninstall this update, similar to how on a PC you can go back to a restore point.
    On another note even the way PREVIEW has changed is less user friendly, there used to be icons on the bottom right corner of the screen, now I have to double tap and select the option I would like to switch between contacts and thumbnails. This is really annoying and is causing me time when reviewing files.
    Just in case anyone was wondering, I did go to system preferences -> trackpad -> select tap to click
    In fact almost all of the trackpad functions have been selected.

  • I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!

    I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
    I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Links should not create any problems in Keynote.  If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
    Try this repair for Keynote,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:

    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application

    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash

    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
    4  
    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive

    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions

    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart

    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

  • What are the major issues to consider in code review? Or performance analys

    What are the major issues to consider in code review? Or performance analysis?

    I would not recommend you to try to optimize performance by checking the coding.
    There is the code inspector which can do all which makes sense automatically.
    The above mentioned points are not the real issues.
    Instead of code review you should execute test cases and measure the exection time.
    1. With STAD if you want to get good time measurement
    2. With SE30 and ST05, if you want to have data for further anaylsis.
    Check total time (SE30), check whether DB part is large, then go to SQL trace. Do the check mentioned here
    /people/siegfried.boes/blog/2007/09/05/the-sql-trace-st05-150-quick-and-easy
    to find the SQL bottlenecks.
    The major point about SQL problems is index support, if there is no proper index support then the performance will be poor. Be aware, that problems are only visible, if you tables are filled.
    In a test system where you have very little data, you will never encounter performance problems.
    Check also the Top10 of the SQ30 hit list.
    Be aware that a proper performance analysis is not a 5 minutes job.

  • Dear All,what are the major issues in implementation in sap hcm

    what are the major issues in implementation in SAP HCM project scope is PA ,OM,TIME, INDIA PAYROLL

    Hi Ramjan,
    Try to have a clear understanding of requirements and find the best solution in SAP. Keep as much as possible everything standard and based on SAP best practices.
    In PA look for a comprehensive enterprise structure. It's base for everything.
    DON"T do anything through development(ABAP code) as much as possible specially in PT and PY. Try to do claculation by PCRs and Schema.

  • What are the major issues in implementation SAP CRM sales and CIC.

    Hi
    We are newly implanting the project to the mobile Manfaturing Company. Our Clint is going for are looking to implement the CIC interaction center win Clint and the Sales modules of CRM .
    We have some 3rd parry raw data with us with that raw data we are calling to the customers and we want create the opportunity in the CIC after that we will convert the opportunity as a sales with our other sales people. After  that  they will sale that product to that customers.
    We have the back end of the R/3 SD, MM modules implemented for Clint.
    Now 1) I want to know after implementation what are the major issues will come in the project normally for the conman  Sales and CIC Win Clint projects kindly give the some  issues normally come  and solutions  for the problems also.
    My motto is that if I know the issues I can make preparation  for that conman issues and I will make my project with good effective and smooth running ..
    with Regards,
    prakesh
    Edited by: prakesh on Dec 9, 2009 6:04 AM

    hi prakesh,
    firstly, cic winclient is an older version and obsolete so its better to implement the new crm version.
    secondly, in any case if you want to implement, then your 3rd party raw data has to be mapped with the SAP system which could be a problem. Middleware could be a lot of effort. Rest all depends on how much customization you need for your business requirement in cic and sales. In case you are implementing standard functionality mostly then no major complications are expected otherwise lot of development effort may be required.

    Yes, I would certainly get the latest update. That we often solve issues like these, for this is not normal. Some further tips would be quite InDesign, then to trash your InDesign preferences and then re-start InDesign (it will rebuild them again). Some further areas to look into would be:
    * Corrupt Font(s) (or corrupt font caches - see below)
    * Corrupt Image(s)
    * Power Failures (power surges)
    * Placing images via drag-and-drop from an Internet page
    * Working on an InDesign file over a network or on a remote server
    If all else fails, we as Markzware (I work for them) also offer a Service to fix corrupt InDesign documents. See:

  • Anyone else having major issues with 1.1.4?

    So I updated to Firmware 1.1.4 a day or two after it came out and I've been having major issues. This is on a phone purchased on launch day that has not been jailbrokened or hacked in anyway.
    Battery life...when the phone actually works, is down drastically. I went from 2.5 days with Bluetooth and Wi-fi on to about 12 hours at one time.
    Wi-fi...when it works, just cuts in and out even when the signal should be all full strength.
    Clock...even though it is set to sync with network time, can be accurate one minute and lags behind as much as 15 minutes.
    I've done numerous restores, both from a backup file and setting the phone up as a new phone. Nothing seems to fix the problem so far. Has anyone else run into these issues and/or know of how to fix it.
    I was contemplating downgrading the firmware to 1.1.3, but I don't believe there is an official way to do it.
    Any input would be appreciated.

    I have exactly the same issues, After the Update the sound quality of my calls dropped drastically! I tought first I got a cold or something like that...but it was not I cannot hear as clearly as I used to before and increasing the volume does not solve anything!
    I also noticed that trsitionning from an application to another and especially using the home button to got to home page is getting slower. I need more time to lose safari and go to emails than before.
    My Memory usage is exactly the same as I havent added anything to my library or so. Aroud 3.5 GB free.
    Anyone with same symptoms?

  • Major Issues With My 4s

    okay so my iphone has been giving me major issues since i got it exactly one year ago.
    my iphone:
    -black 4s 16GB Verizon iOS 6.0
    Issues
    -my caller id on other phones comes up as "blocked" or "restricted" unless i dial *82 then the number i want to call. verizon tells me i do not have "caller id blocking" turned on
    -when i receive a text message or imessage the incoming number shows up as 82 then the number (ex. 821234567890) instead of the contact number. when i slide to reply it insists on creating a new message, not adding to the conversation already in the messages app.
    when i first received this phone, purchased from verizon on the internet, i was unable to activate the device. when i took the phone to the apple store, they told me it was set to vodafone (british?) but somehow verizon support was able to activate the iphone. because of these problems ive had to save contacts in my phone with their regular number for texting (ex. 123-456-7890) and their number with *82 (ex. *82 123-456-7890) for calls, so my caller id shows. Siri will not dial numbers that start with * or #, making the feature basically useless.
    does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or do i have to buy a new phone (which i don't really want to do).
    thanks in advance,
    john

    i dont have that option all that shows is,
    [my number]
    calls
    [reply with message >]
    [tty           off]
    [change voicemail password]
    [dial assist     off]
    dial assist automatically determines the correct
    international or local prefix when dialing.
