How can I see the files in the Recovery partition folders? Explorer won't let me.

I am preparing to do a clean install of Windows 7 onto a hard drive that shipped with Vista Home and the Recovery partition.  I want to reuse the recovery tools along with Windows 7 in the recovery partition.  Windows Explorer won't display the contents of the recovery folders.  How can I overcome this?
Thanks,
Luke

Force it into recovery mode to restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.  Sometimes you have to do this more than once to be successful.  After restoring, you'll have to restore an existing backup, if you have one.

    There are a number of third party solutions for this.  I just use Bridge, so can't recommend one in particular.

  • How can I see a list of the assets associated with a sequence?

    How can I see a list of the assets, both online and offline, associated with a sequence?

    Exporting an EDL or copying and pasting a timeline into a bin gives a complete list of the clips in a sequence, but what I really would like is a list of the files used, without any duplications due to multiple clips from a single reel. Is there any quick way to automatically generate such a list?

  • ICal 'on my mac' to iPhone - How can I see on my phone, the entries in calendars under 'On My Mac'?

    iCal 'on my mac' to iPhone - How can I see on my phone, the entries in calendars under 'On My Mac'?
    I have several entries (too many) on calendars created prior to iCloud. They are listed as calendars 'On My Mac'. How can I get this information to my phone? I understand that iCloud makes On My Mac calendars obsolete?
    I use my phone calendar to see my duties for the day, and only add entries if I'm out and on the fly. These I don't mind typing into the iCloud calendars. But my regular process when I'm sitting in front of the computer is to add them via iCal using the On My Mac calendars created years ago, over time. I need to see this information while on the go. How can I?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Create a new empty calendar from the iCal file menu, select which account you want to create it in.
    If you have only a few appointments you can move them individually by editing them and changing the calendar in the edit options.
    Alternatively you can copy all the appointments in one calendar to another and delete the original.
    To copy a calendar ctrl-click on it from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button (top left corner of iCal) and choose export (export it to your desktop for ease)
    Double click the exported file and choose the new empty calendar to import them into.
    Ctrl-click on the original calendar from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button and choose delete.

    Did you copy files to the TC? It should just open in the finder as long as the TC is available and the airport utility shows it connected.
    If you want to see the contents of the TM files.. open the sparsebundle and use main Time Machine icon in the dock.

  • How can I see what file's are in  a directory

    I'm want to make a program for brosing the harddisk and copying and editing file's.
    I already can copy them but:
    How can I see what file's are in a directory and how can I see
    what subdirectory's are in a directory so I can show them to the user?
    I dont't know if it does matter if If I'm on a windows or linux platform, when it does please tell me for the windows?

    I believe this works for a directory of reasonable size.
    import java.io.File;
    final public class FileSearch {
        public File current;
        public String path;
        public File[] files;
        public FileSearch(File dir){
           try {
              current = dir;
              files = dir.listFiles();
           } catch (Exception e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
        public void currentSearch() {
           for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++) {
              if (files.isFile()) {
    System.out.println(files[i].toString());
    public void searchFiles(){
    for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++) {
    if (files[i].isDirectory()) {
    System.out.println();
    System.out.print("directory: ");
    System.out.println(files[i].toString());
    try {
    FileSearch sub = new FileSearch(files[i]);
    sub.currentSearch();
    sub.searchFiles();
    sub= null;
    } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
    FileSearch search = new FileSearch(new File("."));
    search.currentSearch();
    search.searchFiles();
    } catch (Exception e) {

  • How can I open PDF files?  The usual procedures don't work for me.  Thanks.

    How can I open PDF files?  Until a couple of months ago, I had no problem.  Now I can open none of them.  I have Adobe Reader X.  Yesterday I uninstalled Adobe X, restarted the computer, and then reinstalled Adobe X.  No success.  Thanks.

    What happens if you open Reader first then use File>Open like Bernd suggested?
    Are you sure you are opening them in Reader and not a text editor or MS Word? I ask because Reader will not prompt you for a language.

  • How can we map a file in the recepents file in smtp server

    hai all,
    how can we map a file to teh recipents file in smtp server configuration.
    because i didnt hard code the email id there so i has to kept any file or any variable so can any one help me out.
    thanks,
    Rajesh

    Hi There
    You can try to use SSIS expressions in your DTSX package which reads the values from the file and then populates the recipient field. This would require some script tasks to read the data and then populate the variables used in the SSIS expression.
    [https://www.google.com/search?sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&safe=off&site=&source=hp&q=ssisexpressions&btnK=GoogleSearch#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&safe=off&source=hp&q=sqlssisexpressions&oq=sqlssis+expressions&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=9137l9524l0l9847l4l3l0l0l0l1l522l522l5-1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=67c17c5b88ef2530&biw=1440&bih=799]
    It could be easier to configure a distribution list on your exchange server or domino server, and then send an email to the distribution list email address. Then you could manage the recipients from the mail server.
    Another way to achieve this, is to put a prompt in the data manager package to pass the recipient email addresses, and then pass that value to script logic. In the script logic it would call a stored procedure with the dynamic input and send the mail.
    [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/d01ce779-f1b2-2b10-07ba-da3734013245]
    You could use the SMTP relay functions from SQL server.
    There are various options available. each option has pro's and con's you will need to decide which is better and easier to manage. 
    I hope this helps.
    kind Regards
    Daniel
