HDD Failed, how to copy restore partition to new HDD?

Hallo,
I have a Compaq Mini netbook, with Windows 7 Starter.
The HDD failed and it's not repairable. However, it seems that the recovery partition is OK.
I want to buy a new HDD, install the driver on the netbook and then use the recovery partition/tools in order to install windows 7 on the new PC.
So, the question is simple: How do I copy recovery partition to the new HDD?
This question was solved.

Hello s91066.
So your hard drive on your notebook has failed? If this is the case what do you mean by the "recovery partition is ok?" I doubt that this notebook has two hard drives so if you're able to see this partition your hard drive may still be working.
You'll need a set of recovery discs to restore the partitions on the new hard drive. If you're able to boot into Windows, which you probably can't with a dead hard drive, you can follow these steps if you can get into Windows.
If you can not boot into Windows you need a set of discs. You can order these directly from HP. The number for the US/Canada is 1-800-474-6836. If you're in another area you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to get your area's contact information.
I hope this is helpful; have a great weekend!

HT201272 Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store

Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.

Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page,

How to create recovery partition in new(changed) HDD.

my new HP pavilion g4 laptop HDD have crased, then I replce it by HP care. I upload original win 7 by recovery disk(DVD) but when I open my computer it shows only one partition (C drive, there is no recovery partition and HP tool.
So how to creates recovery partition by recovery disk(DVD)...........please help me.

Creating the recovery partition
Right-click the start orb, and start 'Disk Management'.
Shrink the C: drive by let's say 20-30GB.
Then create a new Partition and assign the R: label to it and name it RECOVERY.
Then open command prompt as administrator and type: 'recimg /createimage <directory>',
In this case: 'recimg /createimage R:\' to save it on the new partition.
This step may consume a lot of time.
Now we need to register the newly created recovery image: 'recimg /setcurrent <directory>'
'recimg /setcurrent R:\'
Voila you are done.
Restoring from recovery partition
You may want to use this restoring method by default, because it is the easiest way to do so if your recovery partition is still intact. If not, look at the other recovery methods to see which suits you best. This is usually the way you reset or refresh your Windows installation if you purchase a computer from a brand like Lenovo instead of building one yourself
Press the Windows-key + C to open the charms bar or swipe in from the right.
Click Settings.
Click Change PC Settings.
Click Update & Recovery in the menu on the left.
Click Recovery.
If all your documents are safe and sound in your user folder, you can use Refresh your PC without affecting files. However I still recommend taking a back-up... If you want to do a complete reinstallation of Windows and also clean your user folder in the process then choose Remove everything and reinstall Windows.

HT4859 How content is restored to a new device after choosing start as new iPhone

I got a new 3GS that is built with iOS5.
The thing is my former 3GS had the iOS6 and hence my recent iCloud backups were done with iOS6.
When tried to choose "Restore from iCloud backup" I could only see very old backups (I assume latest iCloud backup with the iOS5). the apple support (at the Genius Bar) advised me to later upgrade to iOS6 and restore from iCloud; and right there he chose "start as a new iPhone".
Now I upgraded to iOS6, signed in on with my appleID under Settings>iCloud but can't find how to manually restore from iCloud and get to my latest backup (on the phone I see only manuall backup, no manual restore - I can't see anything to do so on iTunes neither)

I just realized how to sort this out; so sharing the update...
I think there's no manual restore from iCloud and the only way is to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings and start over from the Set up iPhone screen and choose "Restore from iCloud Backup"
Given that I upgraded to iOS6 in the meantime, I can now see my recent backup I was after.

SMART Status is Failing - how do I restore this drive?

Hi there-
This drive is only about 90 days old... Replacement for another crash that took the life of the drive before that (both Seagate drives).
I don't have any repair options for this drive using Disk Utilities. I have nothing - no options showing.
Questions:
1. How do you go about just recovering/restoring the entire drive using Time Machine? My bays are full, so I have to get the replacement drive and pull something out to put something in. Any instructions/directions for doing this?
2. Could there be some other hardware issue with this machine that is tanking the drives on that part of the SATA "chain"?
Also, related or not, this is the 3rd DVD drive I have had to put into this machine. All replaced under warranty, but number 3 bombed too. I have probably only burned 20 DVDs total since I bought this thing. Maybe burned 100 CDs total as well.
Right now, the drive is still delivering files, and I'm able to work.
Seems that the entire "relative speed" of the computer is slow, but want to get this taken care of before it causes me more grief than necessary.
Thanks in advance!

Or you could get a good external.
If it's your boot drive, see #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
If it's a data-only drive, you can restore it via the normal Time Machine "Star Wars" display. If the old drive isn't recognized, see #E3 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum. Either way, of course, you'll have to restore to an "alternate location" -- the new drive.
I have no idea why things keep failing, although your Mac is a few years old, and they don't last forever. It does sound like you might have some sort of power issue, but that's just a wild guess.
Is your Mac on a U.P.S., or at least a good surge protector?

ACS 5.3 - How to copy DB to a new instance of ACS 5.3

I need to copy an existing ACS 5.3 database to another instance of ACS 5.3 that I've deployed. I can't set up a primary/secondary between these two and do the deed via replication. So it's going to have to be a export/import or a backup/restore. I've been searching for days for a solution to what surely is a trivial task.
Does anyone have any hints on how to do this? Either the CLI or the GUI is fine with me. I feel like an idiot...
-drh

Hello,
You are not idiot at all. This is a problem that I was facing myself (not exact issue but very similar).
Now, I think there is no supported way to move the DB itself in cisco docs. There is a way where you can copy the DB files via FTP from the old machine and restore them in the new machine. That will need a root patch to have a root access to both boxes.
If you are authorized to open TAC cases then please directly do because they know better about the steps.
But I am thinking about one thing, You can build your new ACS servers from scratsh and put them up on the network then remove the old machine. Keep the old machine up without putting it on the network so that you can access it the time you need.
Let the new DB grow on the new server and after a few months you can just remove the old machine because you don't want that DB anymore (if you are keeping the DB on the old machine and it was operational the old data will be deleted anyway as per your retention period you configure on the ACS).
So, I suggest (which is easier for you of possible) to keep the old machine running with access to the DB and install new servers and keep their own DB. After the retention period passes and you don't want the old data anymore just remove the machine.
one other way (did not try it at all) is to take a full view DB backup from old machine and then configure same repository on the new machine. The full backup file may appear on the "Resotre" page where you can choose it and restore (I am not sure if old and new machines need to be with same hostname for the file to appear. you try it anyway it may work).

Hard Drive Crash - How to Copy from iPOD to new computer

My hard drive crashed and is dead, with over 3000 files of songs in my iPOD library. Can I use my iPOD, which still has the library, to copy those files to a new hard drive recently installed? How? If I just synch with the new version, will I lose anything from the iPOD? (Novice here).
Thanks

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows

Floola Mac & Windows
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

How can I resize partition? - New larger hard drive installed

Hello,
The hard drive on my MacBook Pro recently died on me (just past my Apple Care warranty - lucky me). I sent it to an authorised reseller/repair place and they installed a new hard drive for me - replacing my old 250GB with a nice new 500GB. The problem is when they copied over the disk image from my previous hard drive they did not scale up the image (yeah, not so happy bout that). Now I find myself with a 500GB hard drive with a 250GB partition called Macintosh HD and 250GB of unused/unusable space. On top of that I'm just starting to get messages saying boot disk nearly full. How can I resize the "Macintosh HD" partition to use the entire disk? I've tried using disk utility, clicking on the main drive, going to the partition tab and dragging the Macintosh HD partition to use the entire disk but after a few seconds of a message saying "waiting for disk to reappear" it returns to the same 250GB size. Running OSX 10.9.3. Any suggestions?
Thanks all!

See the tips in pounding's section on using Disk Utility:http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html and you could also take the route of buying an external hard drive (a great idea of maintaining a backup), format that drive for Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), clone the startup disk to that drive, then boot from the external, erase and format the internal, then clone the external back to the internal partitioned as you want.

How to copy VI and create new subVI paths

Hi all,
I'm still pretty new to LabView, and I'm not sure how to properly do this..
Basically I have a working VI which validates a chassis, but I want to use the code on another chassis. The only differences (that I know of) are the login name and password for the new chassis. I enter these two fields using string constants in a subVI.
If I simply copy the directory of the VI and all the subVIs to a new directory, and open one of the new .VIs, any of my changes are updated to the original VI. How do I break the links to the 'old' files?
I want to have separate directories for chassis "A" and chassis "B" with all the necessary VIs and subVIs in each, even if the files are redundant on the hard drive (in case the VIs or subVIs need minute changes).
Sorry for the vagueness in the subject, by the way.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you using projects?
Copy the code to your new location. Create a project and add the folder that contains your code. Use the conflict resolver to fix your VIs.
In some weird situations, I have also been known to delete the old project, resolve the conflicts for the new project, and then restore the old project from the recycling bin.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions
