Help! System Rescue files corrupt!

I hope someone can help with this - my X61 w/ 32-bit Vista Business has never worked well, with persistent blue screen crashes, system lock-ups, and error messages. After dutifully downloading Windows updates (Vista SP 2 just made things worse) and new drivers I decided to start from scratch and restore the computer to the factory settings - i.e. wipe the hard drive and re-install Windows from the rescue partition. I backed up all my files and went through the steps on the Rescue & Recovery console, only to have the installation fail - it says the Windows files are corrupt and it hangs on the installation every time -sometimes with another blue screen.
So basically this computer is now dead in the water, and unfortunately out of warranty. Please - does anyone know of any way to restore the rescue partition so I can at least re-install the OS that this machine came with? Any suggestions appreciated!

Addendum:
These two posts to the forum describe my problem pretty accurately:

http://lnv.lithium.com/t5/R-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/R61-Recovery-error/m-p/140884
I'll add that I've tested by RAM and hard drive with built-in and 3rd party utilities and they all seem to be OK. Also tried Spinrite data recovery on the rescue partition and it hasn't helped.

Help My Fla file corrupted while saving (System shut down while saving)

Hi everyone does anyone have any solution for this. I am using Adobe CS5 my week longs work of animation is all gone. I checked the forum for solutions and i found so many like updating my CS5 Software e.tc. I finally found one where they said u can convert ur fla file to a zip file. and check the library assets to see which one is corrupted but the problem is that i could find only one symbol in the libary folder where as i had about five symbols in the fla file. Pls I really need your help. The size before it was corrupt was well above 24mb but now all i can see is 13MB i really really hope i can resucue this file as i dont have any backups.

backups are always smart. use a naming convention that's convenient for you.
i use projectname_01.fla, projectname_02.fla etc. whenever you save, use a new name. it's not unusual for me to end-up with projectname_49.fla.
if you like tidy directories without lots of files, you can move older flas to and "old" or "previous_versions" subdirectory.

Please help, very important file corrupt

Hi,
I am writing my final thesis, (more than 100 pages) and indesign crashed this moring while writing. Now the file can't open anyware anymore. I am using CS6 trial version, and even on other mac and pc it will not open anymore.
How can I get my file back? Please help me..
Thanks a lot!

It's usually a bad sign when the file will no longer open even on another computer. Do you get any error messages?
Find, and empty, the InDesign Recovery folder in your user library to keep ID from crashing over and over when it tries to open the bad recovery data. (The recovery folder is in the same folder where the InDesign SavedData file is stored, and the path information for your OS can be found in Replace Your Preferences Note that this folder is gong to be a hidden folder if you run Lion, so you need to display hidden folders in your search).
Once that is done, start InDesign and use FIle > Open... to navigate to the original location where the file is saved. Tick the radio button to "Open as a COPY" and cross your fingers. If you are REALLLLLLY lucky it will open, and if it does, IMMEDIATELY export to .idml, then save the file with a new name as a backup, too. File > Open... and open the .idml file you just made, Save As to yet another name and you should be good to go.
If it doesn't open, do you have any backup copies someplace? If not, you best hope is probably Markzware: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery Submission Form
Now some advice on preventing this from happening again (though a crash is outside your control). First, never work directly off a removeable drive, if that's your habit. Copy the file to the hard drive, edit, then copy back to the removeable drive. Do a Save As from time to time to clear out the old, useless and inaccessible change data from previous sessions and reduce the file size. Make backup copies every day. If you do the save as each time you are done working, and add a versioning sequence to the name or something similar you take care of two birds with one stone.

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

Was advised to delete system configuration file from hard drive and now computer will not start - any help would be appreciated.

Downloaded Yosemite and since then cannot connect to internet or bluetooth mouse - was advised to delete system configuration file from the hard drive and since then cannot start up computer. Any help would be appreciated - cheers.

Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys down. The result should be a display showing a revolving globe. By following the instructions, you will be able to reinstall the original OSX. Then you may reinstall Yosemite.
A solid Internet connection will be required.
Ciao.

Etc/system file corrupted how to recover it?

etc/system file corrupted how to recover it?

with boot -a you can only specify new /etc/system during boot , e.g. /dev/null
but if you want to recover it , you can do it from live kernel ( if you didn't reboot after /etc/system was corrupted )
with
echo ::system|mdb -k
or from previous crash dump simmilar way
cd /var/crash/`uname -n`
cho ::system|mdb unix.[x] vmcore.[y]

Creating an online help system from FM files

I have been tasked with converting a 340 page user manual in
FrameMaker into RoboHelp in order to create an online help system.
I have imported all the FM files into RoboHelp. Each Project
file is a chapter from the FM user manual and each topic is a
subchapter.
Many of the images crossed over successfully. However, many
came across blurry and others didn't come across at all, instead
appearing as a small red box.
I have been unable to figure out how to get the images that
did not come across into RoboHelp.
After compiling and viewing the primary layout - it looks
pretty good (at least to me). The font and styles in RoboHelp are
the same that were in FM.
I am VERY new to RoboHelp and have learned FM primarily
through trial and error with some outside instruction.
I need help in getting the images into RoboHelp and some
advice on whether or not I am on the right track with my online
help system.

Hi there Not User Friendly!
Can you give me an URL showing me your online help?
Im about making two huge online help systems, but im new to
Framemaker and RoboHelp.
One of them contains thousands of pages mades in Framemaker,
the other one is going to be made from scratch.
If you have any advices etc, I would welcome them a lot.
Thanks in advance

HELP: Flash Drive accepts files when I run them files corrupted

So I have my flash drive partitioned in the Master Boot Record because in all other forms it will not appear on my computer. However, when it is partitioned like this, it will appear to accept files when I transfer them, but when I run them I receive a files corrupted message or error-43.
I understand the Master Boot record is intended for windows, but when I partition the drive in GPT or Apple Partition Map the drive is inaccessible on my computer completely. I do not care about being able to transfer files to a PC, I just want to use my flash drive back-up and save files too. If anyone knows how I could do this I would really appreciate it.
I searched the forums and could not find anything that has worked for me so if someone knows where it is I would appreciate a link, or if you know how to do it, I would appreciate the advice!
Thanks

I know my flash drive worked on a mac because it worked months ago, it just will not now for some reason.
Nearly everything that stops working used to work at some point. If you cannot format the drive on either a Mac (why not go back to that Mac it worked on "months ago?") or a PC, then for all practical purposes it's dead. Return if under warranty, or get a new one.

Restoring - But possible corrupted system data file on tape?

Is ther any way of recovering a database with a bad system data file (system tablespace file)?

As you know system tablespace is heart of the Oracle database.
It depends how you are doing your recovery, how many valid backupset are available for RMAN for restore and recovery options.
You can always check the following to make sure you have good backups.
RESTORE DATABASE VALIDATE;
If you want to know what are file required for restore and recovery:
RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW;

System File corrupted

Hi
A small clarification required.
If the system datafile is corrupted, what is the way ahead to bring the DB up and running.
Thanks
Sheen

Using rman, restoring system tablespace on its original location:
[oracle@localhost ~]$ rman target /
RMAN> startup mount;
RMAN> restore tablespace system;
RMAN> recover tablespace system;
RMAN> alter database open;
On different location:
[oracle@localhost ~]$ rman target /
RMAN> startup mount;
RMAN> run {
set newname for datafile 1 to '/home/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/non_default_location/system01.dbf';
restore tablespace system;
switch datafile all;
recover tablespace system;
alter database open;
You should have a valid backup...

Is there a cure for persistent file corruptions across the suite?

i am having terrible and consistent problems with file corruptions across the suite. for example…
1: i collected for output (indesign) – corrupted over 100 small images that were linked.
2: opened an indesign job and all linked files failed to update and could not be imported (simply would not import those files and were all corrupted).
3: had a hang in photoshop followed by a 150:30 error (would not open any of my applications). this prompted a clean install of system and adobe cs4 see below
4: most recently, had a hang in photoshop (photoshop will also no "force quit") whilst indesign was open. two of my image files corrupted and, most surprisingly, all my illustrator files that i had placed also corrupted (will not even open in illustrator any more). illustrator was not even running at the time, so, get this – a hang in photoshop destroys illustrator files simply because they are placed in indesign.
this last event has made me more certain than ever that there is a fundamental problem at the cs4 core.
can anyone help?
please note the following:
i am running a macintosh imac, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (latest imac), with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 ram.
before this last disaster, i had reloaded the system software (archive and install), and updated it all the way to version 10.5.8
i then uninstalled the creative suite, ran the cleanscript from adobe, reloaded the creative suite, downloaded all the cs4 updates
(so, latest mac, latest system, latest cs4 – all clean installs).
is there something i can do? or is this just a very unstable and disappointing upgrade – i have had nothing but problems from day one!
many thanks if anyone has any advice.

Re: 150:30 error:
Please try this KB article's solutions, and report back on how it went for you. If you can provide details about any recent OS updates, backups, or migrations, that would help is nail down the root cause of the new rash of this error for Mac users recently:

RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
can this happened due to data base or log file corruption, if so how can i check on that to verify the issue
Its not necessary if the issue is with network it would happen every day IMO it basically happens when load on network is high and you transfer log file which is big in size.
As per message database engine was not able to restore log backup and said that you must rebuild log because it did not find out log to be consistent. From here it seems log corruption.
Is it the same log file you restored ? if that is the case since log file was corrupt it would ofcourse give error on wehatever server you restore.
Can you try creating logshipping on new server by taking fresh full and log backup and see if you get issue there as well. I would also say you to raise case with Microsoft and let them tell what is root cause to this problem

File Corruption During Sync Windows 8.1

Hi
I have recently introduced some Windows 8.1 systems into our environment, a Sony laptop and a non branded custom build, both systems are running Windows 8.1 Pro.
Our environment is as follows:
Windows Server 2008 domain
PPTP VPN for laptop users using a Watchguard X515.
Netgear ReadyNAS 2100 for Network Folders.
Folder redirection in place for Documents and Desktop.
Offline files in use. Users have the ability to make shared network files available offline if required.
The first device we had with 8.1 Pro was a Sony laptop for our Marketing Director. He has manually made a few shared network folders available offline for when he is out of the office and unable to connect to the VPN.
We first noticed an issue a few weeks ago when he came to me telling me that one of his documents were corrupt. The file was one of the ones he has made available offline. When he got into the office he ran a manual sync, to put the updates onto
our shared drive. When he next came to open it, the file was corrupt with the following message:
'Excel cannot open the file 'XXXX XXXX.xlsx' because the file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'.
I ran the file through Excel's file repair, which couldn't fix the problem and I tried a few software packages from the internet which said the file was unrecoverable, to no avail. We tried to recreate the issue but couldn't so we put it down to a one
off. A few days later, it happened again under the same circumstances.
I put it down to something happening while the laptop was offline, however whilst researching this, the same problem happened on a Windows 8.1 Pro Desktop. This system never leaves the office, which led to some confusion.
Everywhere I look points to ransomware, however I have run full scans with Sophos and Malwarebytes, and both come back clean, and the issue is only occurring on 8.1 Pro systems, 7 Pro and 8 Pro systems are fine.
The user with the 8.1 Pro desktop created a test spreadsheet for me, and this morning we managed to recreate the problem. When running a manual sync, the Offline Files comes back with an error, stating that the network copy has been deleted, would you
like to copy the local copy or delete it? When we copy the local copy to the network, and then try to open it, we get the previous error about file corruption.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I will have to roll the systems back to Windows 7 if I cant get it resolved, which would be a shame as the laptop is has a flip screen to turn it into a tablet.
Cheers
Jim

Files corrupted in zone after box reset

Hi
We have a system where we somtimes have file corruption in a zone.
We are running
Solaris 10 6/06
Solaris Volumemanagement RAID-1/Mirror on two SCSI disksWe have not yet been able to reproduce it.
Does anyone have any idea of what it might be or have ideas of how to reproduce it?
Have a nice day
Henry

We have a similar configuration with RAID1/mirror and occationally see the same file being corrupted after a box reset. Haven't been able to reproduce it. I know it is not of much help, but always nice to know that you are not alone.
