Generic BADI

Hi,
I have got a scenario and need you help in this.
Scenario
We have a transformation from DSO 1 to DSO 2.
In DSO 2 a field A is calculated based on fields B & C from DSO 1.
Now there may be a case in which the user wants to write its own implementation and caluclate the
field A based on fields other than B & C.
E.G
In our implementation A = B + C
but customer wants it to be implemented it as A = D + E
I know alternate implementation can be done with the help of BADI but is there a way by which parameters can be passed to it dynamically.
So generally speaking we want to implement Generic Badi in which the customer defines the implementation along with the export & import parameters to be used.
Regards,
Charu

Did u try with calculated key figures ?
Calculate your formula and store it in DSO2 using transformation.
Create one calculate KPI at report level, and that should have formula as follows
New KPI as (FLAG <> 'X' * (B+C) ) + ( FLAG = 'X' * (D+E)) .
FLAG is the variable whic will be filled by business to indicate thet whether he is going to use BC or DE.
Assumption made: All base KPIs B,C,D & E are ready at reporting level to calculat this new KPI.
Hope it helps.

BADI Implementation for INFOSPOKE

Hi,
I have a BADI logic to read the product description from the text table in my infospoke and writing into a file.
I have multiple(10) infospoke extraction (same format but with different selections) which wants to use the similar type of logic.
My question is:
Is it possible to write one Generic BADI and that can be shared by other infospoke extractions?
OR should I copy the same logic for other 10 BADI ?
I believe the BADI is specific to infospoke. I see that I have no control over the source structure...
2) I was trying this in RSCRM_BAPI. My query result in BEX shows the product and product description(from text table)fine. where as in my RSCRM_BAPI it displays only the product and NOT the description. If I could able to display the text using RSCRM_BAPI I can define 10 queries which makes my life easier...
Any idea/suggestion in both methods is greatly appreciated as this is kind of very URGENT..
Thanks for you help.

This is kind of URGENT.
Any help will be very useful

I want to store medical records on my iPad, how do I do this?

I got my iPad in hope of having a better way of storing and taking with me my families medical records. It could be a lot easier then carrying my laptop. Dose anyone have an idea what app or program I might need to do this?

A company called medtronic (Founded by the guy who invented Pacemakers) Has come up with some apps for their medical staff. Not sure if these are on App Store though.
If you have an easy to convert format, you could try one of the iWork apps.
But.. Unless you really, really trust yourself with your iPad, not a good idea. You won't be able to password protect anything other than the passcode to unlock the device, which will leave your family's medical history vulnerable should Dr.Bad (Insert generic bad guys name here) get hold of your device.

Target disk mode for edit and save?

I have about 40 GB worth of photoshop files on a white Macbook 2009 running Lion and I need to delete layer 1 from each file. Is it safe to start the Macbook in target disk mode, mount it on my MDD G4 (running 10.4.11) and then run a PhotoShop batch on the G4 which deletes layer 1 and saves to original location? I don't have room to move the files to the G4 and my older version of Photoshop won't run on the Macbook.

Sure, "in theory" there should be no problems at all!
However, risking the ONLY copy of your data doing a non-reversable change is just a generic "bad idea"!
Always working on copies is a general good practice.
Always!

Need best pratices advices

Hey guys,
Anyone can share with me the best pratices for the setup of an oracle database. I know that the amount of redo, grouping, file system layout, etc.. depend on the size of your BD. So to help here is the spec of my BD
oradata : 200GB
change rate : 50k/s (I got that by dividing the size of my archive redolog by the amount of time between the first and last archlog).
This is a standard database (not OLTP or Data Warehouse) use to store client information
My RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is 30 minutes
Some quick question
1. How should I layout the file system
2. How many redo/group/size
3. How many control file, where shoud I put it
4. How I should setup the log switching
Anyway doc, quick, don't want to read a 300 pages oracle document :-) This is why I'm looking on your knowledge
Thanks

Ok a bit more information.
Storage : SAN, RAID 5 disk onlySince it's SAN, the RAID 5 (which is generically bad for performance in any update environment) will have minimal adverse effect (because the RAID 5 is hidden by massive cache). Just try to spread the data files across as many disks as possible.
Oracle works best for datafiles on 'SAME' (Stripe and Mirror Everything). Spread the data files across all possible disks and mix data and index to try to get randomization.
No ASMPity. A lot of potential transparency will be side-stepped.
OS: Solaris 10 on a M4000, (2 SPARC 2.1GHz, 4 core each), 16GB RAMFinally some meat. ;-)
I assume Enterprise Edition, although for the size, the transaction rate proposed, and for the configuration, Standard Edition would likely be sufficient. Assuming you don't need EE-specific features.
You don't talk about the other things that will be stealing CPU cycles from Oracle, such as the app itself or batch jobs. As a result, it's not easy to suggest an initial guess to memory size. App behaviour will dictate PGA sizing, which can be as important as SGA size - if not more so. For the bland description of app you provide, I'd leave 2GB for OS, subtract whatever else required (app & batch, other stuff running on machine) and split the remaining memory at 50/50 for SGA and PGA until I had stats to change that.
>
Like I said, I espect a change rate of 50k/s, is there a rule of thumbs for the size of redo log, the amount, etc.. No bulk load, data is entered by people from a user interface, no machine generated data. Query in read for report but not a lot.Not too much to worry about then. I'd shoot for a minimum of 8 redo logs, mirrored by Oracle s/w to separate disks if at all possible, and size the log files to switch roughly every 15 minutes under typical load. From the looks, that would be (50k/s * 60 sec/min * 15 min) or about 50M - moderately tiny. And set the ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET to thrum at 15 minutes so you have a predictable switch frequency.
>
BTW, what about direct I/O. Should I mount all oracle FS in that mode to prevent the use of OS buffer cache?Again, this would be eliminated by using ASM, but ... here is Tom Kyte's answer confirming direct IO http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:4159251866796
Your environment is very very small in Oracle terms. Not too much to fuss over. Just make sure you have a decent backup/recovery/failover strategy in place and tested. Use RMAN for the BR and either DataGuard (or DBVisit for Standard Edition)

Generic IDOC Uer Exits/BADI's

Hi Team,
I'm looking for generic User Exits/BADI's for following:
1) After an INBOUND IDOC is created - To access the status of the Posted IDOC
2) After an OUTBOUND IDOC is created - To access the status of the Posted IDOC
The idea is to intercept any IDOC which goes IN/OUT of the system and then write an entry to a Z table if there are any errors.
I looked at many posts in the ABAP and other forums but everywhere the Userexits are specific to an IDOC type. I'm looking for generic Exits/BADI's where every IDOC will hit AFTER the processing is done.
Please help!
Thank you for your time

Hello Sanjay
I know that my answer is not a perfect match to your question but SAP provides already a standard report RSEIDOCA (on SAP releases >= 6.20) which can be used for active IDoc monitoring. This report needs to scheduled in background.
A true shortcoming of this report is a missing e-mail interface. For this purpose I have written the report ZRSEIDOCA having such an e-mail interface for notification.
For more details please refer to thread mails whenevr an inbound idoc fails
and the links mentioned therein.

Generic extractor help needed badly.

Hi Geeks,
As continuation to questions I posted in the morning.
1> I have created a generic extractor say ZBW_PRICING.
2> ZBW_PRICING is based on tables A508 & KONP.
3> One of the currency fields I am interested in that is
   KBETR has reference field RV13A-KBETR.
4> Rv13A is a structure not a DB table so I can not give
   reference to RV13A while building view.
5> So I appended the extract structure with two fields.
   ZZKBETR (rate) & ZZKONWA (currency key) to populate it from KONP.
6> I activated the appended structure as well as extract structure.
7> In RSA6 when I try to unhide field & save it.
   I get following error.
   The OLTP source still has errors.
   Message no R8417.
Please help fellows its important for me.
thanx in advance.
Monica

Kunal and Subray,
I had the same problem while trying to unhide the field.
I solved the error by giving the proper reference table and field names to the required field in extract structure, which in my case has been a currency field.
( Since I have a generic extractor, I changed the Reference Table name to Transparent table name. I changed the field name to corresponding field name within the Transparent table).
Thank you.
(Also, I see that Transparent Table name = extract structure name = DataSource name. I think the names might be same for Generice Datasources by default)

T410 + Ubuntu Lucid: Two Weeks of Use (the Good, the Bad, the Ugly)

System
Lenovo ThinkPad T410 laptop, Integrated Intel Graphics, Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 wireless.
Fixed
Resume did not work after second suspend. Fixed by updating BIOS. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/532374
Font antialiasing misconfiguration that made small fonts look bad; had to edit ~/.fonts.conf manually to defeat the system preventing antialiasing at small font sizes. Screen is small (14") but has very high resolution (1440x900), so this seems to work ok here.
Evolution doesn't autocomplete the email addresses of people you communicate with regularly. Fixed: turn on automatic contacts and autocomplete.
Printer config didn't work til I changed system-config-printer to not use the Python on the user path: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/328657
Emacs copy/cut (meta-W, ctrl-W) doesn't put the text being operated on into the X clipboard. Likewise, putting something into the X clipboard doesn't make it possible to paste it into Emacs via ctrl-Y. Fixed via:
(global-set-key "\C-w" 'clipboard-kill-region)
(global-set-key "\M-w" 'clipboard-kill-ring-save)
(global-set-key "\C-y" 'clipboard-yank)

Toggle state of hardware mute button and software mute button not synchronized. If you hit the hardware mute button, it lights. If you subsequently unmute via software, the sound is umuted, but the hardware mute button remains lit. Pressing the lit hardware mute button in that state will result in the hardware mute button becoming unlit but the sound muted. Seems to have gotten fixed in upgrade to 2.6.34-999-generic kernel while trying to fix USB resume issue.

Complete system lockups at various points (maybe once every couple days) requiring a hard power reset. I haven't been able to distinguish a pattern yet.

I haven't seen crazy temperatures yet though.
Wireless network card (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200, using the iwlagn driver) freaks out every 20 minutes or so and "restarts" (whatever that means). Seems to be a firmware problem.

At boot time, xdpyinfo | grep resolution still reports wrong DPI (reported: 96x96; actual: 120x120) and screen size (reported: 381x238mm; actual: 300x190mm) even after generating an xorg.conf and adding a DisplaySize 300 190 to the single Section "Monitor" in the config. This doesn't seem to be harming anything, but I don't know really what uses this info. Using xrandr -dpi 120 fixes the resolution and screen size reported by xdpyinfo.
Firefox is a problem child for display at 120DPI (native screen DPI); some fonts are huge or tiny when they shouldn't be. Setting the layout.css.dpi in about:config to 120 seems to have no effect. This makes Firefox unusable for me on this system. Thankfully, Google Chrome doesn't have the same problem.
Fingerprint reader unsupported.
When bringing up a backgrounded Emacs window, sometimes Emacs refuses to give me control of the point in that window until I sacrifice the chicken of selecting any item from that window's menu bar.
Emacs acts upon first click of any frame; clicking in a background emacs window reposititions the point in that window. I tried to fix this by adding (setq x-mouse-click-focus-ignore-position t) to my .emacs file as per http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Mouse-Commands.html. This actually solved the problem: the first click of a window no longer repositioned the point. Unfortunately, contrary to the docs and contrary to the experience of somebody else in #emacs on freenode IRC, this setting also makes the mouse useless for selecting text, moving the point, or scrolling the window text in emacs. It just won't do any of those things for me anymore when this option is set. I can't even shift click on a window to set the font size. This symptom is worse than the problem I was trying to solve by doing it, so I left it off.

Opening Rhythmbox from the applications menu doesn't actually open the main window, it just creates a toolbar icon. You then need to know enough to go click on "Show Rhythmbox" in the toolbar icon dropdown.
Konversation: sometimes the mouse pointer "disappears" while hovering over the nick list and the channel list. Only fixed by a restart of Konversation (closing the window and restoring it from the system tray doesn't help).
Cut and paste is, as always, horrific. You need to use Shift-Ctrl-C in the Gnome terminal vs. Ctrl-C in other Gnome apps; Emacs meta-W doesn't put things onto the X clipboard by default, etc. I really don't understand why you can't remap cut copy and paste under Gnome. If you could remap the Gnome keybindings for cut, paste, copy, etc, I'd bind copy to Windowskey-C, paste to Windowskey-V, cut to Windowskey-X, and Undo to Windowskey-Z. Then at least for all Gnome apps that followed the system keybindings, most of the pain would disappear, because the cutnpaste shortcuts wouldn't step on alternate meanings.
Still doesn't look quite as nice as the Mac does, dispite newer and better video and display hardware, no matter how many hours I spend messing around with display settings, font settings, etc.

Not sure how you figure it's an "advanced router" problem. I'd be happy to buy a different router, but I'd need to be told which one to buy. The router I'm connecting to is a barebones Linksys WRT54G (the blue and black one with the two antennas that you see everywhere). These routers are maybe the most common router on the planet, AFAICT.
I have also seen Compiz lockups, but I didn't mention those in the above; the lockups I'm seeing are true system lockups. The system stops responding to any input on network, so it cannot even be restarted remotely.

Long time buyer truly disappointed - My bad experience

On 10/28/2014 I bought a Sound bar, 75” TV and a 2 year warranty for roughly $7,100 at the Best Buy location in Arden-Fair, Sacramento, CA 95819. The sales rep who sold me the TV was named Jesse and was very helpful and professional, he made my decision easy after doing a lot of research shopping around at Costco, Fry’s, Amazon. I also scoured through social media review sites like Yelp determining the best place to purchase.
Having shopped with Best Buy since I was a kid I was already a bit biased and leaning towards Best Buy, I’ve purchased many products without issue. I’ve bought numerous laptops, multiple game consoles, many many games, CD’s, DVD’s over the years and just recently opened up a Best Buy credit card.
The $7,100 purchase went smoothly at first, I could have got an early delivery date but because of me and my wife’s busy work schedules the early dates would not work. I decide to have the TV delivered on Nov. 5th, 2014, a week from when the purchase was made. The night before the delivery was supposed to take place I received a confirmation email and a phone call saying the delivery was on schedule and that it would be delivered on time between 8am and 10am on Nov. 5th. Two hours later while we were sleeping and not tell the next morning did I see that an email was sent at 10pm on the 4th stating the delivery had been pushed back 3 days to the weekend which wouldn’t work with our work schedules.
The frustration began to set in after having waited a week for the delivery and knowing realistically it would need to be another week before receiving the product we paid for due to our schedules. To be honest, we felt Best Buy was very inconsiderate after having a week to make sure this sale was completed. I did not expect this lack of courtesy from a big reputable chain. We began to assume they sold the TV set aside for us because they had already made the sale, who cares about us right?
That morning when I read the delivery date change in my email we decided to call Best Buy to figure out why the delivery had been pushed back, the Store wasn’t open so we called the generic number for the Call Center. The first lady we spoke to said the TV was not in stock and transferred our call to the store which we knew was closed and therefore dumped our call. The second lady we spoke to said that instead of the Saturday delivery date she could change it to Thursday but that she could not guarantee the delivery date would be met and could be subject to change, which we assumed would happen and this was her way of getting rid of our call for the time being. She also stated that she would contact us back if the delivery date changed which later that night it was changed again at 10pm by email without previous notice.
Luckily, we didn’t fall for the gimmick, my wife and I decided to wait until the Arden store opened up to call and speak to a manager, we were able to get through at around 10:30am on the 5th and spoke to one, He told us that the TV that was supposed to be delivered was damaged and that they did not want to deliver us a bad TV. We assumed this was just a bad excuse and cover up for bad service and error which our thoughts were reaffirmed later. We told the manager that we were debating whether to just cancel the order and buy our TV somewhere else. The manager wanted some time to call us back and did so with a few options, one of which was to pick up a TV from another store and have it delivered to our house the following day. After much consideration we said yes and decided if they could get us the TV the next day then everything was settled. Later that day he called and gave us a time window on the delivery and we felt better about the situation.
Thursday Nov. 6th rolled around and the TV is delivered, the box the TV came in looked like it had been tossed around like a football. The bottom of the box had the TV falling out, the corner of the box was ripped open and the Styrofoam inside was smashed and torn in multiple places. Best Buy may make a lot of sales but for a big purchase like this for me and my wife, we expected better from Best Buy and were so disappointed. If what was true about the previous undelivered TV being damaged, how and or why would they attempt to deliver this TV to us when the outside of the box looked horrible, granted the TV may have been just fine but how do we know if the TV was even brand new and not used or a display? To add insult to injury, even the delivery guys felt bad and were apologetic saying sorry and that they just deliver as if they knew it wasn't right.
I called and talk with the store manager, took photos of the box, and after a lengthy decision with the store manager decided to cancel my order and have them come back up the product which I hadn’t moved or touched. I was so dissatisfied by the service I don’t think I’ll ever see Best Buy the same. They made no effort to right the wrong, but instead used sending an employee to pick up another TV at another store as if they were doing us a favor, it is Best Buy who didn’t honor the delivery time and the sale of a product with horrible reasoning.
The worst part is, is that my wife and I are good people, we understand that mistakes can happen, why at the last minute did this occur? Why we were not informed earlier? We didn’t treat their managers or employees bad, we didn’t yell, we didn’t throw a fit, we simply wanted the product that we purchased to be delivered a week later on time, in good condition. Making a big purchase like this and seeing the condition the box was in, felt like we went to a car lot and bought a used car for the price of a brand new one.
The store manager could of done plenty more to keep our business, not that we expected to get anything at this point after being so disappointed. But from a business perspective to keep a big sale, the manager could of up'd our 2 year warranty to 5 year warranty on them to make me feel better about the box, I probably would of kept my purchase had she done that, or let me buy the TV as what it appeared, an open box item. A lot could of been done to keep the sale and at the end of the day no effort was made. Whatever happened to getting what you paid for? I paid for a brand new TV to be delivered a week later, then told after confirmation and at the last minute my TV wasn't in stock and/or it was damaged and they cared so much about me to deliver a TV the next day in an open box that looked like it had been ran over by a truck a few times. (I have photos to remind me, some day I might look back and laugh)
I know that we are but a dot on a map in terms of the customer database, however if our feedback helps someone avoid the situation we had, then we will have felt this long and probably boring post was worth submitting. Here’s hoping I have a better TV buying experience elsewhere, I think I’m done shopping at Best Buy, I have no reason or purpose to shop at a store where I could previously spend hours in shopping and looking at all the latest and greatest new electronics. As a long time buyer, Best Buy let me down.
Why should I ever do business there? I had dinner at a food court with friends just last night and they wanted to walk over to Best Buy and look around, long story short after telling them my story we walked through the mall instead. I'm slightly embarassed by how passionately I'm against Best Buy right now but feel it's very much justified. A huge store like this should care more about their customers, right the wrong.

Hello Stanfield,
As someone who watches more television than she probably should, having the best TV possible is crucial to any viewing experience. If you ask me, watching a show on a 75” 4K TV would be mind-blowing, so I’m glad our Arden-Fair associate, Jesse, found you one at an unbeatable price. That’s why it’s so disappointing to hear your experience quickly down spiraled into disaster when a missed appointment turned into receiving a damaged TV, which lead to a canceled order. I assure you this is not indicative of the experience we seek to provide our customers, and we certainly can’t afford for this to be repeated considering the many competitive choices customers have today.
While unforeseen complications can cause unexpected delays for delivery on our end, these are far and few between, and we should be making every attempt to contact you when rescheduling is necessary. Emailing you is one way we do this; however, it’s less than ideal to communicate this to you so late the night before your scheduled delivery date. It’s clear to me that we may not have ironed out all of these kinks yet, and I’m very sorry it has been at your expense.
Despite not having your TV in stock at the time of your original delivery date, other options may be available to us to make sure you receive your purchase at a timely manner. This could mean exchanging the particular model for a comparable one in stock to locating the TV with another warehouse or store location. Finding your TV in another store should have been a happy occasion and a great solution to your predicament; I’m sure it was beyond frustrating to find the replacement in less than pristine condition. It’s rare to receive a damaged item during delivery, but should this happen, we should be making every attempt possible to assist you, even if this means returning the purchase upon request.
However, it’s clear to me that you took considerable time to let us know of your experience, and I appreciate you providing us this feedback. Please know that I’ve documented your concerns here at the corporate office so that we may review this with the appropriate teams for future coaching opportunities. Should you have any further questions or concerns, or wish to provide us a second chance to change your opinion of us, please feel free to let me know. I’ll be glad to see what options we may have available to you.
Best wishes,
Alex|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Does the definition of "Execution State" equals "Bad" change between development environment and run-time?

My basic question is:
If the execution state of vi is "bad" under the development environment, shouldn't it also be "bad" under the run-time environment?
So here is the background:
So I use SVN and I ran into this problem where I would be working on one piece of code without having my top-level vi open and would inadvertantly break the top-level vi. And being in hurry or whatever I would not open the top-level vi to check the run arrow and I would check in my code, which of course breaks the top-level vi for everyone else and causes lots of problems.
So to solve this I wanted to create a Tortoise SVN client side hook to check the check the top-level vi(s) to see if the run arrow was broken before I commit my changes. I'm trying to use the Execution State to check this. I am using an Equals primitive to compare it to a "Bad" constant. (as a side question is checking the execution state the best way to do this? or is this even a valid way to do this? It's the only way I've found so far to check the run arrow.).
So the way I'm going about this is:
1. I create a executable (written in LabVIEW) which is run by TSVN
2. When TSVN calls it (I set it up as a start-commit hook) I pass it a parameter which is text file which lists all the top level vi(s)
I do these first 2 steps in order to make it as generic as possible. I can use it on any project with any number of top-level vis (or dynamically called vis) all I do is point it to a different text file.
3. Inside the executable I just read the list of vis, open a reference to each one and check the execution state. I do this inside a for loop, but keep the references open and close them after the for loop in case they share some subvis or libraries, so they stay in memory (could this be the cause of some of my problems??)
4. Then after the for loop executes and the references are closed I simply fire off a popup if any of them are broken.
5. Then I simply exit LabVIEW to return control to TSVN.
So my problem is this:
In the development environment everything works as expected. But when I try the exact same thing in the executable it tells me the run arrow is broken.
Why the difference? I'm checking the same list of vis and the runs arrows have not changed, they are still all good.
So it appears that checking the execution state to see if it is bad behaves differently in the run-time versus the development environment.
Can anyone confirm or deny that?
It seems to me that it should behave the same.
The help for the Vi.Exec.State property says that it works in the run-time (Read-only), so why am I getting different results?
On a side question if anyone knows of an easier way to accomplish what I want to do, please let me know. I went this route because I had some experience with writing TSVN hooks and I thought it would be pretty simple and it is if I can get this comparison to behave.

I believe that plugins rely on the libraries being located in a specific location. The installer can place these libraries in the specific location or some other installer can do that. You can create code that scans the library directly to "learn" what packages/libraries are available. Then you would build the path to that VI and open the reference to it.

Generic GRE not working (ver 4.1.3.55)

Hi everybody.
I'm testing in Lab a configuration for one customer.
It's a basic environment with :
DATA CENTER (wccp)
1 WAEs 7341 and 1 Cat6506 routers
BRANCH (inline)
1 WAE 574.
Optimization works with l2-redirect and gre return in DATA CENTER !!
It does not work with egress-method generic-gre inteception-method wccp.
This is the problem that i can see with " show wccp gre" on the 7341..
" Packets received on a disabled service: 667790".
I read some manuals but...
I don't understand .. The service 61 and 62 works !!
So any idea ?
Thanks a lot to everybody
Vittorio

Hy and thanks to be interested.
That's the output you ask :

A135-S2326 replacing hard drive (bad sectors) Need advice and opinions Please

Hi, (note pic below of my computers actual specs from this morning)
I have a Satellite A135-S2326. It has the max memory at 2GB, it came with 512 and I upgraded to 2GB. It runs Windows Vista Home Edition...
Anyhow, it accidentally fell off my bed a few days ago (darn dogs) and damaged my hard drive. Boot problems, errors, bad sectors, etc. I have tried everything to fix and to no avail. While I am currently using it I know I need to replace the hard drive ASAP before I can't turn it on at all one day... I am now saving all my files and stuff I need off of it to an external drive. The laptop did not come with a windows Vista restore CD so I am using Acronis software to make an image of the hard disc, hopefully it will work and I won't have to purchase my own copy of windows Vista.
Some questions I have are:
1.) Is it possible to upgrade the hard drive to a faster one / better one when I replace?
     The hard drive that came preinstalled is a Hitachi HTS541680J9SA00 80GB, which I believe from spec's documentation is a 5400RPM Serial- ATA ???
     What is the max size I can get for replacement and what is the max RPM, or do I HAVE to use a 5400RPM???
     What do you suggest?
2.) I have a copy of windows XP Professional w/SP2. Is it possible to put this windows XP Pro.w/SP2 on a fresh hard drive in the Satellite A135-S2326? If so, is there a different hard drive that I must have to do that? Also if an XP install is possible on a new hard drive, which drivers must I have for this laptop when I do it??
3.) And finally, could this laptop handle windows 7 business? Only asking because I can get a VERY cheap copy of windows 7 business from my school...I'm in college at DeVry and can get a copy of Windows 7 delivered to my door in 2 weeks for less then $30.00. So thought that MAY be an option....??? Not sure if my other spec's can handle it though???
4.) What would you suggest I do with the options I have, what is best thing to do in your opinion??
      Please see pic below of my actual computers specs from this morning, using Belarc Advisor...
Thank you in advance
Any help is GREATLY appreciated
Urgently waiting replies,
Tina from Florida

You can use ANY 2.5" SATA hard drive of any size in that system. I would recommend one of the Western Digital Scorpio BLue's as they are reliable and offer good performance.
If it runs Vista it will run Windows 7. I would wait a bit before trying Win7 though as Toshiba hasn't released all of the Windows 7 drivers yet.
As for Windows XP, while it is possible to install XP on that system (and quite easily for that matter) Toshiba doesn't provide any of the XP drivers needed to get it to run properly. You could determine all of the various chipsets the system uses and go to each chipsat manufacturer's support site to see if they provide an XP driver to get it working, but I don't guarantee that they have all of the needed drivers. If you do decide to go ahead with this let me know and I'll post the directions for installing XP onto a SATA hard drive that doesn't ahve a floppy drive.
Right now your best choice is to replace the old hard drive and restore the system from your Acronis image. When ALL of the Windows 7 drivers become available you could install it in a dual boot configuration to determine if you prefer it or not. It is both a step up and a step back from Windows Vista. Some people will like it while others won't. Only you will be able to determine which you prefer.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
