Hi,
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).  An example of the COA label can be seen Here.
Assuming that this is just a problem with the Recovery process, there is a straight forward work around if you have ( or can borrow ) a retail Windows 7 installation disc that is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - ie if your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the exact retail version you would need.
If you don't have access to a retail disc, you can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • How to get to Factory Installed status?

    Hello,
    Mine is a MBA.
    Do I have to boot to my original OS DVD to get back to factory installed status on my Mac Book Air?
    Regards

    Actually, that's a good question.
    You have two choices. At the end of the installation process, you can shut down the Mac instead of going through the user registration and account process - that means the new owner will be able to set their account up just like factory.
    But that means you won't be able to install the Apps DVD. To install the Apps DVD you'd have to go through the registration screens...
    I guess you have to make the choice yourself.
    \[By the way, the restore system you mention only happens on Windows machines that have been specially prepared with a restore partition, it's not the default way Windows works\]

  • How to get 64-bit install and 32-bit client to work on 1 pc

    I have installed a full 64-bit 11g R2 install on my Windows 7 D: drive, installed two DB's, worked great. Then I realized application I need to support requires 32-bit client (for drivers) so I installed the 11g client also.
    My problem is that my registry only shows one ORACLE_HOME--the 64-bit full install whereas Cognos reqs to point to 32-bit client.
    Sqlplus in 64-bit works fine (D:\oracle\app\dock\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN\sqlplus.exe) whereas the 32-bit client sqlplus (D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN\sqlplus.exe) does not work. The error is:
    ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    If I open cmd prompt and navigate to 32-bit sqlplus under client this WILL work to login (but then I noticed it was using the 64-bit ORACLE_HOME and PATH settings if I typed set). In order to fix Cognos, I changed my ORACLE_HOME and path to point to the 32-bit client (i.e. from D:\oracle\app\dock\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1 to
    ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1
    PATH = D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\syswow64;C:\Program Files\Intel\WiFi\bin\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\WirelessCommon\
    Guess what? This stopped both the 64-bit and 32-bit sqlplus from working, even after bouncing the computer. Now the listener (64-bit) OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener will also not start either.
    Sooooo, I think I need to set the OH and PATH back to the 64-bit as that is what the Listener requires but any ideas how to get the 32-bit sqlplus to also work?!?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter errorIt works as expected. Since there is no Oracle instance in the Client home (no surprise), you can't connect "locally" from the 32-bit sqlplus. I.e. you need to use "...@connectident" in the connect string.
    In order to fix Cognos, I changed my ORACLE_HOME and path to point to the 32-bit client (i.e. from D:\oracle\app\dock\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1 toOn Windows platform, ORACLE_HOME should not be set by user (it is already set by installer, in the Registry).
    To pick up proper settings, PATH need to be set or used.

    Multiple homes on Windows is often a source of problems, since extra consideration and setup is needed more than just installing the software.
    If "Cognos" relies on system PATH, then one way to go might be:
    - put path to 32-bit Client bin folder first in PATH
    - set up a shortcut to command window with only 64-bit in PATH, for times when you need to administer the database via command line.

  • Please how can get back to my iOS6 ? I do not llike the graphics of iOS7

    Please I need to know how I can get back my iOS 6.5. I just upgraded to iOS 7 but its graphics is too poor and it has a lot malfunctions I can not cope with. Please I use my iPad to earn my daily living in the studio and I do get quick help or solution, it will mean that a familly will be starved by upgrading to Apple iOS 7. Please how can I get back the iOS 6.5 back ?

    That policy is not going to keep thier users. It will force them to switch to other products. Just get a good graphic artist to compare the iOS 6 graphics with so called new iOS 7.4, they will definitely tell the truth about it. Its unlike Apple products, even the worse android mobile device is far better than it. I strongly advise that they quickly get back the design of the older version into this new iOS 7 before thy begin loose thier admirers. Apple's quality graphis is one the major factor that made them stand out in the market. they should fast about. As at now, I will go tomorrow to buy another brand of mobile device, cause' I have to feed my family. We realy missed JOB.

  • Satellite U400 - How to get back formatted partition with HDD Recovery

    Hello,
    I have bought a new Satellite U400 notebook with Vista Home preinstaled on it.
    I went throught initial configuration and after it has been done I realised that HDD partitions do not suits my needs.
    So I resised the "Vista" partition (acctually I have shrinked it) and made the "Data" partition bigger.
    I did not do anything with hidden partition.
    Unfortunately when I did this procedure I formated the "Data" partition.
    Now when I want to make backup DVD with TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator I got the error message saying that it is not possible because I have formated the "Data" partition.
    Are there any suggestion how to solve this error?
    The system goes fine, the only thing is that I am not able to backup and restore OS.
    Thanks Vecerka

    Another possibility besides getting yourself a new copy of recovery DVD is, that you could use 3rd party programs to make an image or backup of your actual system.
    I think Norton Ghost or Acronis TrueImage are good programs, but I only used last named one, so can't tell if Norton tool is equal to Acronis.
    And if you do not want to order recovery disc online, you always can visit your local ASP for doing this job for you. ;)

    Adding to what Jeff & Sheena shared, have you got any other product installed on this machine? Is that working fine ? Can you please navigate to the below mentioned location and advice if that worked for you or not.

  • I had to manually download the new version of itunes.. via tools, it gave me 4 items to download and i did not download all 4 compenants.  Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that contains tools so i can redownlaod all of them.

    I lost my old iphone and have a new 5s.. i need to sync to itunes.  i had to donwload manually via tools but i didnt download all four files.  now when i plug my phone into itunes it says there is an error bc i didnt download all the files.  so when i go into itunes now and check for updates it says its up to date.  the problem is with the phone support file i didnt download. 
    Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that has the music player update and itunes update bc this is the only place i have seen "tools" to be able to manually update all four files....
    ***IF i completely uninstall itunes and reinstall will it still have all my songs, photos, apps etc... bc i need to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back

    this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
    i have done this twice in two other posts..
    here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
    the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
    so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
    so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
    so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

  • HT5624 how to get back my "AAp store" application on Iphone 4....

    how to get back my "AAp store" application on Iphone 4....

    The App store app is a built in app and cannot be deleted. Try:
    Check settings to see if restrictions are turned on and/or if Installing apps is turned off (Settings app > General > Restrictions)
    Check all of your home screen (by swiping left to right), and folders to see if was inserted into one. (you can also use Spotlight search which will tell you if it is in a folder. Swipe down on the Home screen and type in "app Store")

  • How to get back iWork apps if I removed them by mistake.

    How to get back iWork apps if I removed them by mistake?
    Note that I bought my mac pro retina in the first week of December 2014. Yosemite, Numbers, Pages and Keynote were already installed. By mistake I removed the three apps by dragging them into trash. If I log into the Appstore, I see that Pages, Numbers and Keynote are not available for free now.
    How do I get them back?
    PS: I want to get the genuine versions without resorting to illegal means or taking advantage of bugs.
    Thanks in advance.

    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location.  OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone.  Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

    ust for a reference cause i'm new in JSP This has nothing to do with JSP, but with basic knowledge of an essential API. I have given you the link to the File API. Are you saying that you refused to read the API documentation, which clearly explains you how to use the File and shows which methods are all available to you undereach the straightforward getName() method, and expecting that the others may chew the answers for you? Loser.

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.
