How do I run Win7 Startup Repair from USB to repair Bootcamp installation?

I messed up my bootcamp partition after resizing the OSX partition to give it more space so I found this fix - http://mourougan.com/2013/06/22/repairing-boot-camp-after-creating-new-partition /
The fix worked in that the windows partition now shows up on startup manager but when I try to load it the 'missing operating system' error message shows.
So I need to run Startup Repair from USB but when I try that from startup manager it just gives a black screen and blinking cursor, nothing happens from there...
Can anyone help with getting startup repair to load? any advice greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

Ok here are the outputs from my testdisk -
Should I go ahead and do the Gdisk part described in that thread using my values from the first screen shot? -
Rebuild GPT4 using start/end offsets
Sudo gdisk /dev/rdisk0
P (print the full list of parts)
D (delete)
4 (part 4)
N (new part)
4   (part 4)
743868416 - Start offset in bytes (start point for Bootcamp part)
+232904697 (Size offset as opposed to End offset)
0700     (Windows part type)
P           (print list of all parts just to see what changes will be made)
W         (Write the new GPT)
Y           (Yes! really write the new GPT)
This will delete and re-write the GPT partition info for /dev/disk0s4.

How do you run another Java file from a master Java file?

We're making a game in Java at school, and we need to know how we can run a Java file from another one - like inside the master Java file, we need to have a command to run game.java (something like that). Thanks!

We're making a game in Java at school, and we need to know how we can run a Java file from another one - like inside the master Java file, we need to have a command to run game.java (something like that). Thanks!One doesn't "run a Java file", and there's no conventional definition of "master Java file". If you want to call the main() method of another class, just make sure the class is in your classpath and call the method. If you want to start up a separate JVM with that class as a process, use Runtime.exec() or similar method.

How do I run a full process from SSIS ???

Hi all
I run BPC 5.1 SP3, and I need to automate a series of jobs, but the system is giving me problems and I hope someone can help out.
I need to automate a full optimize and then a full process of our AppSets.
I know that in SP3, the Appsets are taken offline for the full optimize and are then left offline, so in-between I run the "SystemAvailableTask" to set the Appsets back online.
Additionally, all dependencies are removed from the FACT table for the optimized AppSets, which are only rebuilt by performing the full process afterwards.
Anyway, the problem I have is that the optimize is running quite happily from SSIS, as is the SystemAvailableTask.
Up to this point in the job, everything works as intended, so I now have a fully optimized Appset, which is available for users to access.
However, the Full Process job then fails.
I have run the Full Process as a standalone job from SSIS and it takes 2m36s to run, but fails to rebuild any dependencies.
When I ran it from the SAP Admin program, it took 9m57s to run and rebuilt everything correctly.
I am currently only offered 1 option in the SSIS package, which is to run a Full or an Incremental process, so I select Full.
However, on the right-hand side, there are various other options available (such as bApplicationProcess, PROCESSMODE (set to "3"), PROCESSOPTION (set to "1"))
Should I be changing any of the settings on the right to make the job run properly, or should I be doing it differently.
Obviously, I need to make this work from SSIS, as I can't schedule a full process any other way, so I would be extremely grateful for any help that you can offer.
Thanks

The easiest way to do this is to write a Tuxedo server (i.e., using only
ATMI and no CORBA stuff) that does the following:
1.) In tpsvrinit(), the last thing that it should do is a tpacall to the
service contained in this server (and nowhere else) with the TPNOREPLY
flag.
2.) In the method that implements the service, do your database work, sleep
for a little while, do another tpacall to itself with the TPNOREPLY flag,
and return.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Dv4-2160 bios corrupted, how to repair from usb

I have a dv4-2160us that only powers up briefly, basically flashes, then shuts down. i have read and determined this may be a problem with the bios. i have created a usb uefi w/ HP_TOOLS label and have tried to follow the instructions to prep it for recovery. When i power up the dv4 using the win+b and power, it comes on and tries to access the usb drive but nothing happens. the process seems to repeat endlessly. can someone tell me the correct procedure to prep the usb drive for bios update or repair by usb?

Thank you for your reply. Neither of these solutions applied to the malfunction i am experiencing.
When i attempt to power up the notebook, it flashes power for a second then cuts off. The volume touch control above the keyboard flashes briefly during this short time. I have tried removing pci-e cards, memory, drives, etc to see if that would allow the pc to boot and none helped. The only way to get any kind of resopnse out of this pc is by pressing win+B while pressing the power button. The pc powers on but to only a blank screen. If i have a usb drive inserted, it periodicly check this for something as if its looking for something to boot from.
Now i have read that you can create a bootable usb drive using "HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Support Environment" and "HP USB Recovery Flash Disk Utility" basically you get the uefi utility with the "HP_TOOLS" labeled partition. I have also read that it is possible to actually install bios revisions to this usb drive by using a option in some downloaded bios upgrade packages on a working pc so it may then be inserted into a pc with a malfunctioning bios and updated using the win+B feature.
When i create my usb drive, it appears it has a place for this including folders for flash programs and bios files. The latest bios for the dv4-2160 however, when run on a working computer with the "HP_TOOLS" usb drive inserted, does not give me an option to install the bios to the USB drive. Is there a way to put the flash program and bios files on a properly configured & formatted usb for the dv4-2160us?

How run live/install linux from usb/sd?

Hi there, im trying to run in live mode a linux distro (e.g. Backtrack or Ubuntu) from usb key but im experiencing issuess...
i tried Uinetboot usb creator and even partitioning the removable drive in hfs and ext4 with rEfit installed in the first one and the linux image in the latter but i always see something like "no bootable disk"...
which is the best way to do it?
im using a macbook air 2012 with 4gigs
thanks,

There are strings in the pliist file to add other Macs so that you can use some USB-DVD drives.
This is 5 page thread, so a little more 'meat' to it:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3410900?start=60&tstart=0
And on PC booting Windows from a USB DVD to do the install is usually a piece of cake, sometimes you just need to specify that USB in the BIOS boot order and sometimes select via F12 (or another Fkey) and that is it.
What you have here seems to be everything and everyone is excluded unless there is a mac-model device ID string that specifies yes. An unnecessary hurdle.

How can I move my media files from USB-HD to NAS without having to copy the media files to iTunes Media folder?

I have iTunes on a Mac with the iTunes Media folder stored locally and the music on an external USB-HD. The music files are Not copied to iTunes Media folder when added to the library.
Now I want to move my files from USB-HD to a NAS without losing any information or settings. I want to do the similar to my iPhoto library. I do not want to consolidate my files to iTunes Media folder. The articles I’ve read only discuss how to do if the files are copied to iTunes Media folder when added to the library. Any tips or trix?

I have iTunes on a Mac with the iTunes Media folder stored locally and the music on an external USB-HD. The music files are Not copied to iTunes Media folder when added to the library.
How are you achieving the above? What are your copy setting in preferences? If you are manually overriding the copy-to by holding down the option key while adding media then that won't apply when you import a playlist (as in importing the .xml). When you import a playlist like that you are essentially adding the files to the library again and it will obey the preferences setting since you can't option add them that way.
Correct on the .itl. Only iTunes itself can edit that file.
I think you need to review your basic wants/needs in doing all this. If your reason for not wanting to use the Media Folder settiing is because you do not want it to go on the internal drive, but you don't actually mind if it organizes it as long as it is on the NAS, change the Media Folder preferences setting to the NAS and let it consolidate to there. If you want to move the stuff but keep it organized in your own folder structure you may need to do it as I suggested initially. Once it is on the NAS and iTunes recognize the file locations you can do what you can only do if you manually manage music which is move it around in Finder afterward once it is on the drive and recognized to tweak location to your final wishes.

K7T Turbo2 - how do I tell BIOS to boot from USB?

I have an old K7T Turbo2 system, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 on it. I guess that's my first question - am I going to run into any nasty problems running W7 on this board, other than RAM limitations? I have a version of "Tiny7" (which installs from CD-ROM) installed already and it seems fine, but I'd rather run a fuller non-pirated OS, and that means installing from a DVD/iso. I don't have a DVD drive installed and it would be a bit of a pain to acquire one, so I'm hoping to boot from USB to winstall W7.
I have a PCI USB2.0 card installed in the system, which seems to work fine. I've set the BIOS to boot from USB-FDD (but I've also tried USB-CDROM and USB-ZIP). I have BIOS 3.6. I've tried booting from the PCI USB2.0 hub (will that ever work or does the BIOS not recognize it?) and from the regular USB1 port on the mobo (but my USB flash drive is USB2).
Is there something else I need to do in the BIOS to get this to work? Will it never work no matter what I do?
I read somewhere about a BIOS setting to "enable legacy USB support" but can't see anything like that in my BIOS settings.
Any suggestions? (thanks in advance)

If there is no option to boot from USB-HDD then it may never work.
Long shot I know, but what if you connect your USB drive, then power on your system, and press F11 when the logo/POST screen appears, does the drive show in the Boot Menu that appears?

Really? DVD drives are very common, and cheap as chips! You can pick up a brand new DVD writer, for the price of a (good) DVD movie.

BootCamp won't load on first boot from USB created by Bootcamp Assistant

So I have created a bootable USB via the Bootcamp Assistant with the support files etc, formated a paritition to run off of. I also have tried formating through disk utility to no avail.
I have tried things like using a USB drive, using an external, un plugging all external devices from my mac while running the set up, and nothing I have found online so far has seemed to work.
Where the problem is, when I boot from the external drive or USB created by bootcamp assistant, it will literally just freeze on the first screen where I select the language and that stuff, not even a USB keyboard or mouse will help.
I have managed to get past that before, but then It wont let me format my hard drive correctly to install it
Any ideas?

Please post in the Boot Camp forum, thats where you will find the MS Windows and Boot Camp gurus. Note also it's Boot Camp, and not Bootcamp which is something you do when you enter the military.

Boot from USB Key (for Windows installation)

This is my weirdest issue ever:
I have a windows 8 installation key which i want to use with bootcamp. Everything worked flawlessly on my MacBook Air (late 2011).
What I did on MacBook Air:
Created MS-FAT Partition with Disk Utility
Plugged in Win8 USB Key
Restarted
Held alt (or option) key and booted from the USB Key
Installed without error
However, this procedure DOES NOT WORK on my MacBook Pro (2008) or my iMac (mid 2011)!!! They do NOT show the USB Key when I hold alt (or option) during startup.
Is Apple somehow not allowing this due to the presence of a CD-Drive on the Pro and iMac?
The Key still shows up on the MacBook Air and is bootable even after installation of win8. So the problem is not the USB Key.
Thanks for any help!
Jordan

Being recognized and allowing Windows to be installed from a USB key are to totally different things.
But I have not yet worked with the 2012 Standard model MBPs so maybe Apple changed something on them that does allow Windows to be installed from a USB drive. But for all other models that have a built in DVD drive you can't do it from USB.

How do i make firefox startup automatically from startup on xp

firefox used to startup at time of startup and now just goes to my desktop, how can i change this

One typical method is to copy your Firefox shortcut to the Startup folder for your Windows account.
I found an article for Windows 7, and I suspect XP is very similar (minor start menu differences): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/run-a-program-automatically-when-windows-starts
