HELP! windows 64bit upgrade & rescue and restore option

I recently bought a W510 with Windows 7 Prof 32bit. Then, I used a seperate Windows 7 Prof 64bit to boot from the disc and installed 64bit Windows 7. My questions are,
Is there a way to save an image of my current setting of 64bit Windows at the Q partition?(which strangely have changed its name to D partition after 64bit was installed.)
What is the best way to save the current image if hidden partition can not be used? (I want to be able to format and install my windows every now and then without going through the hassel)
Should I delete Q partition is it is no longer needed? (if it can only restore to 32bit and if I no longer plan to use 32bit?)
Thank you in advance for your reply!

if you plan no longer to use recovery system and 32 bit operation system, you can delete the hidden partition.
as i read somewhere in the forum, you can update hidden partition.
but let me ask you this, after installation 64 bit, hidden partition became visible?

System Rescue and Restore

For some reason when I open Lenovo Think Vantage Tools my Rescue and Restore will not open.
I had just had it open yesterday...
Is there a way to fix this?
Not too sure what's going on, but I'm hestitant to call priority tech support because they seem to push me towards a reformat and I just don't think it's that serious.
Is there a way to download the System Rescue and Restore option in the Lenovo Tool?
What do you think?
Thanks.

Rescue and Restore

In the past, when in R & R using my hard drive, I was prompted to choose a date from several given. There are no such dates listed now and I am unable to manually type in one. How do I proceed from here to recover?

1. It is came pre-installed, but not with vanilla Windows 7 but with Lenovo-flavored Windows 7 (Win7+Lenovo drivers+Lenovo software+non-Lenovo pre-installed software/trialware). It is the equivalent of OEM Restore Disks you got in the old days.There is a function in Rescue and Restore to create Factory recovery media, which will create optical or hard drive copies using the Q partition (one-time deal).
2. No, I don't think the Q partition is for your backups, it is only for holding the restore system image. After you run "create factory restore media" (see above), R&R will offer you to delete Q partition to free up space (you can choose yes or no.) If you no longer want it, choose "yes" (to delete Q partition), and then create a new partition for backing up.
3. As far as strategy, that's a big question. You can backup to a hard drive partition, but then you should copy backups to an external USB disk periodically in case the hard drive fails (there is a function to copy backups in the Advanced mode of R&R). You can also backup to an external USB drive, but if you schedule backups, the USB drive should be plugged in during the time of backup. The third option is backup up to a network drive, but then it also has to be available for mouting when scheduled backups run.
There is a manual that comes with R&R (see Help.)

"Delete data and restore" option in Nokia N8

I want to restore my N8 to fresh state as I have installed and uninstalled too many apps and they all have created and left a lot of files on C drive even after uninstalling them. They have ocupied some space on C drive.
I am going for "Delete data and restore" option in phone management. I will back up all data with Nokia Suite before the procedure. I just want to know what all apps which are installed by default will be lost. Please enumerate every app or thing that will be lost.
I know that default wallpapers, songs will be lost. I'm interested in default apps only. Likes dictionary, Zip, Communicator, Video editor, Photo editor, My Nokia, Recorder, Shazam, Msg. reader, Adobe reader, Nat Geo, Movie Teasers, YouTube, E! etc. I have mentioned most here, may have missed some. Please enlist in detail.
Thanks a lot.
One more thing, this are should be improved by Nokia-uninstalling any app should remove it completely without any footprints.

If you go to this page (and are logged in to the store) you will find all apps your previously downloaded and these are the apps that will be removed when you do a full reset. You can re-install them again afterwards provided you have not done so 10 times before.
Please follow the steps below if you decide to completely reset your N8 and start with a fresh device:
If you have data on the N8-00 you wish to keep create a backup using Nokia Suite but when asked deselect the option to include settings in the backup. You can start a backup through Tools>Backup in the Nokia Suite menu.
Now disconnect your N8-00 from the PC and select the offline profile, press the on/off switch and from the menu which appears select and activate the profile offline.
Enter the code *#7370# followed by the security code 12345. Please be aware this reset may take a while. Your N8-00 will restart when finished.
After the N8-00 restarts go through the Device First Use sequence to setup the N8-00 correctly.
Now connect the N8-00 to your PC again and let Nokia Suite install the requires files on N8-00. After this (re)install the latest system update. When you go to the update screen in Nokia Suite your will either be presented by a system update or you can choose to re-install the current (up to date) version again.
After the update verify if there are any additional updates and install these as well.
After this you can restore the backup if you made one.

Sankalp,
I too have the error 0x81000033 when running the full system image backup. I could not assign a drive letter to my 100mb drive with the Disk Management. So, I went into the diskpart and ran the following commands:
diskpart
list disk
DISKPART> list par

After diskpart, I opened the "My Computer" and see that I have 78.2 of 96.0MB free. Despite that, I ran these commands on the new q: drive:

The FSUTIL utility requires a local NTFS volume.
Q:\>fsutil usn deletejournal /D q:

Time Capsule and Windows 7 Back Up and Restore

Hello,
I would like to know i can manage to save my backup of windows 7 on the Time Capsule using the back and restore tools ?
I am using on my time capsule the file sharing with the disk password, but it doesnt seems to work.
Can u please help ?
Thx !

Open the guest access and give read and write permissions.
Also make sure you actually give the WORKGROUP name in the WORKGROUP area, correct to the win7 workgroup..
If you still cannot access the TC try turning off the firewall in win7.. you may also need to ensure that win7 is recognised as in home, ie local network, not work or public.
Open a command window and ping the TC to make sure you have network access.
In windows explorer type \\ipaddressofTC\ into the address bar.. that being its IP address. You can also try netbios name.
If none of that works post again but it should.. on latest firmware on the TC??
You need to use windows backup which is near useless.. I recommend you download a utility that can do a proper disk image.. there are plenty around.

Rescue and Restore Backup

On a Windows 7 system, can the backup be scheduled?

There1 wrote:
Nope. lol Like I said before I restored to factory settings before and I usually just went to rescue and recovery, clicked on don't save anything and factory restore. I didn't have to insert any type of recovery discs set, do you know why now it's asking me for them?
I might add that I recently had my T510 sent in for MULTIPLE repairs that were a complete dud. I have that infamous whine noise smh. They ended up replacing my hard drive and mistakenly downgraded my OS to 32-bit. They didn’t know I bought Pro-64 smh. I told them and showed them that I did purchase 64 when I customized my laptop so they ended up sending me a recovery disc set with the OS and drivers. I used those to do a factory restore, basically did a clean reinstall right?
Yeah you should be good. Now would also be a good time to burn another recovery disc set since you can burn one after each restore, this way you will have a backup.

HELP! - Finding Specific Emails and Color options??

Hi..
Is there a way to group emails from a specific soure or with a specific heading etc (eudora does this for example by highlighting one and hitting option/command together-which then groups all emails in your box with the same source, title etc.)..and pull then all together in your in boxes..?
also is it possible to change the background color ( like Eudora) in Mail to something other than white? if so , how??...
and are their any other (other than fonts) way to improve the "look" of Mail?
thanks in advance for your help;...
P.S. and other tricks and insights to get me away from EUDORA (which I love ) woudl be appreciated...

The account used to be POP, now is IMAP.
I have always set this account to delete emails from gmail after a period of about a week.
The emails that I need to recover go back for serveral years and were only kept on my local computer.
1. Only a POP account can be set to delete from Server after a specified period has elapsed, if you have that option you have not set an Imap account.
2. Your mail is almost certainly lost unless you had a backup.
One possibility, do you still have the Entourage data database?

Windows 7 upgrade **Language and Shipping"

I am a citizen of Canada, and i have bought a laptop in Taiwan this past week, i was wondering for the free windows 7 upgrade, which location i should chose upon signing up in the windows 7 offers page, and whether I can get it shipped to canada rather then here. Also as a follow up question, On startup of this notebook, I chose english as my OS language, does that mean my windows 7 copy will install in english or just the language of my region (which in this case is chinese).

BTW if this info is nessesary, my model is DV3 2036TX

GUI of Minefield for Windows 64bit (4.0b13pre and earlier) is "corrupted"

The GUI of the Windows 64bit version of Minefield (4.2a1pre, 4.0b13pre and earlier) is somehow corrupted. The tabs and the address bar contain vertical left-out spaces as well as other parts. The browser itself works pretty good.

Yes. The GUI irritations have gone after applying the recent update 4.2a1pre (2001-04-12). Many thanks to the community!
PS: after applying the update of 2011-04-14 the version number has changed from 4.2a1pre to 6.0a1. What does this mean exactly? Won't there be a released Firefox 4-x64 version anymore but instead this is already an alpha for a future release?

My T61 always boots up into ThinkVanatage Rescue and Restore - Its madness!!

I installed a fresh XP pro on a machine, updated all the drivers and installed both SP2 and then SP3. I believe the last action was installing SP3 (XP), create a new restore backup and possibily installed the modem driver.
Now, when i start up the machine it boots directly into ThinkVantage. I cannot get into XP. My bootsetup in the BIOS is the factory defaults. I can see all the windows files but somehow i cannot get out off ThinkVantage.
I have been sitting with this problem for days now and would really appreciate some help. An no, the ThinkVantage button is not stuck.

Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

Help with N8 Back Up and Restore

Please if anybody can help me I'd be most grateful.
How do I put back everything stored on my memory card back onto the phone? I had to do a #7370# this morning as it said my phone memory was low and to delete stuff. I couldn't find anything to delete so thought the *#7370# option would work. Wrong. I now have 84.7 mb free on my phone which is much more. I have 14.3 gb memory free out of 14.3 in my mass memory and 4.08 gb free out of7.42 gb on my memory card. How do i get my phone to show what is on the memory card? As it is I have no contacts or photos and all my music is on the memory card too.
I'm a wee bit useless with all things technical so any help would be much appreciated.
Oh I also back up my phone every day at 4.30am. I thought I would simply restore but the phone says there is no back up content.
Thanks for reading
Ann

I don't believe you can back up apps. If they were installed in your phone memory (C, then the reset wipes them and you need to reinstall them afresh. If they are from the Nokia store it's a pretty straightforward process.
If the apps were installed in any of your mass memory destinations, then in general they should run OK even after a reset.

Help with Full Back up and Restore

I am getting a new Macbook to replace my 3 year old Macbook. In doing so i would like to keep my mac exactly the same. I have opened time machine and done 3 back ups. 1)Does that mean i have done a full back up? 2) How to i get the data onto my new macbook??
Please help me! Thanks
Message was edited by: Richardjonesonamac

Every back up is a full back up.
When you get your new Macbook, boot it using the install disks but rather than installing the system from the disks choose Restore from Time Machine Backup and choose your latest back up.
Note this article to allow Time Machine to then pick up where it left off:
