How do I get the Recovery partition onto a DVD set from my solid state drive?
My Pavilion dv6 has only a solid state drive. I need to recover and reuse the 23 gb currently partitioned for recovery. To do this I need to move the recovery files off the drive. Can this be done? Where do i find instructions on how to do it?
Thanks,
Bill Wright

Hello txi, Your best bet would be to use a hard drive image program and perform a complete hard drive image.
If you have Windows 7 on the SSD this would include the System partition, the C: partition and the D: Recovery partition.
The D: Recovery requires some data from the Master Boot Record (MBR) in order to be accessed.
Just trying to copy the data from the Recovery partition would not be successful if you wanted to use this data later.
By making a hard drive imgae of the entire hard drive, and saving this image on an external hard drive, or a large enough USB drive, you could then delete the D: partition and expand the C: partition to recover the D: partition capacity.
Then if you need to revert back as the system was when the hard drive image was created, the D: partition would be put back on the SSD.

How do you update the recovery partition to 10.8.2 instead of 10.8.1
I installed MT 10.8.1 and then I updated to 10.8.2 how do I updated the recovery partition to the latest release?
If the recovery partition needed updating, it would have been updated with the update.
The OS installer isn't on the Recovery HD, if that is what you are thinking. -

Hi,
Depending on what attributes you want.
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
#From a txt file
$USERS = Get-Content C:\Temp\USER-LIST.txt
$USERS|Foreach{Get-ADUser $_ -Properties * |Select SAMAccountName, mail, XXXXX}|Export-CSV -Path C:\Temp\USERS-ATTRIBUTES.csv
#or from a csv file
$USERS = Import-CSV C:\Temp\USER-LIST.csv
$USERS|Foreach{Get-ADUser $_.SAMAccountName -Properties * |Select SAMAccountName, mail, XXXXX}|Export-CSV -Path C:\Temp\USERS-ATTRIBUTES.csv
Regards,
Dear
Gautam Ji<abbr class="affil"></abbr>
Thanks for replying I tried both but it did not work for me instead this command which i extended generated nice results
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Property * | Select-Object Name,Created,createTimeStamp,DistinguishedName,DisplayName,
EmployeeID,EmployeeNumber,Enabled,HomeDirectory,LastBadPasswordAttempt,LastLogonDate,LogonWorkstations,City,Manager,MemberOf,MobilePhone,PasswordLastSet,BadLogonCount,pwdLastSet,SamAccountName,UserPrincipalName,whenCreated,whenChanged
| Export-CSV Allusers.csv -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8
only one problem is that Manager column is generating this outcome rather showing exact name of the line Manager .

Hi,
I wanted to unlock my at&t iphone 3gs that i had for 3 years. i was told to back up the data on my phone and then restore it as new. now i don't have any data i had before it was restored. how can i get that data back onto my iphone 3gs? can i put that data on my ipad?Is it an iTunes backup or an iCloud backup? If iTunes, connect the iPhone, right click on the name of the iPhone under the DEVICES section in iTunes. Click on Restore from Backup.
If iCloud, on the iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. When the device powers back on, you will see the original setup screens you saw when your iPhone was fresh out of the box. One of these screen asks you if you want to restore. Choose Restore from iCloud backup. -

HT4848 How do I get the Recovery Disk Assistant?
Reading 'OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant' at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4848?viewlocale=en_US . My 1 day old macbook pro would not let me or root login (after resizing the os partition with diskutil to install fedora linux) and I need to restore the OS. Now this paper and support engineer tells me to recover the OS I need a working OS to prepare the recovery USB disk. Isn't this a catch 22 situation? Why wouldn't Apple sent a $1 CD with the $2400 macbook? To save $1? I had OSX 10.6 from my mini and tried to boot from that - no go - the most expensive macbook MD386LL/A starts beeping in the middle of the boot and crashes.
Since apple does not have Lion 10.7 CDs anywhere on the applestore.com I will have to nicely pack it and sent it back to Amazon and get at new one so I can start with Lion Recovery Disk Assistant fist.
If only there was a notebook on the market with 1920x1200 screen...Thanks for the link - good summary. I managed to recover the EFI partition 2 with system restore and I am running it now - I have a +1MB/s internet connection and the estimate is ~2h of download of some new software. I wonder how long this total internet recovery without the data on local disk would take - described in that link you sent? I will try this next with a spare SATA drive
This is not an improvement over a local CD image. There must be some explanation for this "enhancement". My guess it is to protect Apple from lost revenue and stop their customers form upgrading Apple computers for free. -
After Installing Lion how do i get the windows partition back?
The Windows Partition is not showing up after installing Lion.
I only get the option of booting Mac or Recovery
How do I get it back.Hi!
I had the similar problem, where my windows option went missing after installing Lion. I gave up trying to resolve it and did a clean installation on windows again by re-configuring my Windows partition & install Windows 7 on it. It seems to work well for now...
Apple should have warned us that the Windows partition will be unreadable when u install Lion. Hence, allowing users to back their files up on Windows environment before installing Lion.
Thank god I did not have any important files save in Windows. -
How do you get the Java API onto Computer
Hi guys,
Well I want to practice Java at home, but instead have been staying up late at night at the University's Computer Lab.
I have downloaded the Forte for Java, but I don't need all the Graphics classes since my programming class is centered on Programming in the UNIX environment. Not too long ago, I purchased SuSE Linux which had the Java Language and the compiler. I successfully managed to dual boot an old computer with it. It was easy because SuSe Partitioned the drive for you if it had a WIN32 filesystem.
My parents bought me a laptop and it came with Windows XP. I have ever since wanted to Dual Boot this system with Suse Linux, but can't because 1.) SuSe Linux doesn't partition the drive because Windows XP resides on a NTFS filesystem. 2.) I can't risk doing it myself because I have a lot of critcal information.
It would be really neat to work in Linux to program, because then I could do some serious homework as well practice. Forte for Java I am not really knowledgeable of it. I can't get the editor to work and it doesn't feel like I am in UNIX at all which defeats the purpose of taking trying to succeed in this programming class.
Could somebody help me with my woes on how to deal with these matters. How can I get SuSe Linux on my XP computer safely and if it can be done how do I use the Forte for Java.
Thanks for all your support,
