How to access and restore the files in recovery D on my HP Pavilion Windows 7??????

Im not very good with the technological side of computers, but it asked me to restore to factory settings after turning my computer on in the morning. I asked it to back up my computer so I can restore it which I believe it did to the Recovery D drive. I can open this file but it comes up with
Recovery Partition Warning
This area of your hard drive (or partition) contains files used to perform and system recover.
Do no delete or alter any of these files
Any change to this partition could prevent a system recovery in the future.
It also says there is 1.94GB free of 15.7GB which must mean there are files in there but I dont know how to access them.
Please help and please try to speak in term in which I may understand. As I said I dont really understand computer language lol.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you. I think I completely stuffed it up. I didnt put anything into my computer to back it up like an external hard drive because I dont think I actually know what the computer was doing at the time so looks like I may have lost all my previously applications, settings and data. Oh well I'll have to live with that, Thanks for your help much appreciated

  • I need to know how to access and use the Blue Tooth device that comes with the Thinkpad W520

    Forgive me for being a techo illiterate. But I know that this thing supports Blue Tooth. And one "problem" with it is although it has a DVD and sound card, music and movies have very lousy audibility. Is there something I can do about that? I can barely hear anything on a movie unless I plug in head phones to the computer. But that leaves me stuck in my seat. I'd like to get cordless headsets. And I'm ready to purchase the Plantronics BackBeat 903+ Wireless Stereo Headphones - Mic, Rich Audio, Bass-boost, Voice Alerts, OpenMic, 3-way Earpiece. And have heard that it's compatable with a pc that has Bluetooth capabilities. but could someone get back to me with exactly how I access and use the Blue Tooth device?

    I was searching for how to setup the 903+ and my W520 and came to this thread.
    1. The OP was asking about audio and there are updated audio drivers / tweaks to get it louder / install different drivers.
    but if you are going to go BT headset....
    2.  What I did for the 903+
    Uninstalled the currently installed ThinkPad Bluetooth program. ( I forget the exact name, came stock and was out of date).
    Required reboot.
    Activated the Bluetooth with FN + F5 menu.
    Downloaded the updated Bluetooth driver from lenovo (search lenovo driver matrix).
    Ran the updated Bluetooth driver install.
    Rebooted for good measure.
    Double-clicked the Bluetooth Tray icon.
    Clicked Add A Device.
    Turned off my 903+ and continued to hold down the power to enable pairing mode.
    Showed up in devices and added it.
    Worked for audio. There are probably additional options for enabling the mic.
    Hope that helps whoever might find this thread.

  • My hard driver is apparently full - but it is full of "other" files.  I have cleared downloads and removed my music and pictures, but it still thinks it is full - how do I access and delete the files?

    I am having real trouble with the mac book air and i dont know what to do.  It thinks it is full, i get warning messages every day, but when i check how the storage is being used it is 45.79 GB of "other" and I can't work out where to locate and delete these files.  I have removed all my music and pictures, there are nearly no documents on the bloody thing, i have cleared the downloads, I have run a cc cleaner programme but nothing seems to touch this "other" amount.  Its so annoying as it is getting to a point where i can't use the computer properly anymore.  Do you have any clue what it could be or how i can deal with it?
    It did this last year but not as bad, i never solved it then i just removed all my own files but now "other" is taking that space too.  On a windows computer you would be able to click through and view what was taking up the space but you can't seem to do that on a mac. could it be a virus that makes the hard driver think it is full?
    Any ideas what I can do?

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
    iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • How to upload and Download the file in a system through java programing

    I am trying to upload a file as well as want to download the uploaded file in my system....I don't have any server an all.
    I want to implement this in my system only .
    I got this code but i don't know ,where i have to make the change and what are the parameters i have to pass.
    can any one help me on this code ....please
    here some piece of code
    File Upload and Download Code Example
    package com.resource.util;
    public class FileUpload
    public void upload( String ftpServer, String user, String password,
    String fileName, File source ) throws MalformedURLException,
    IOException
    if (ftpServer != null && fileName != null && source != null)
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer( "ftp://" );
    // check for authentication else assume its anonymous access.
    if (user != null && password != null)
    sb.append( user );
    sb.append( ':' );
    sb.append( password );
    sb.append( '@' );
    sb.append( ftpServer );
    sb.append( '/' );
    sb.append( fileName );
    * type ==> a=ASCII mode, i=image (binary) mode, d= file directory
    * listing
    sb.append( ";type=i" );
    BufferedInputStream bis = null;
    BufferedOutputStream bos = null;
    try
    URL url = new URL( sb.toString() );
    URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
    bos = new BufferedOutputStream( urlc.getOutputStream() );
    bis = new BufferedInputStream( new FileInputStream( source ) );
    int i;
    // read byte by byte until end of stream
    while ((i = bis.read()) != -1)
    bos.write( i );
    finally
    if (bis != null)
    try
    bis.close();
    catch (IOException ioe)
    ioe.printStackTrace();
    if (bos != null)
    try
    bos.close();
    catch (IOException ioe)
    ioe.printStackTrace();
    else
    System.out.println( "Input not available." );
    }

    At least that is what the code you posted suggests to me.It looks like that to me too.
    I believe that
    URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection(url);Will return you an FTP URLConnection implementation if you pass it a ftp:// url
    So for simple FTP ops, you don't need any external libs.
    Actually, looking at your code, this is already what you are doing, so I really don't get this:
    am not using FTP server..... i want to implement in my system only ....So How i will do.
    Can you give me any idea based on this code Can you explain a bit more what you need?

  • How to access and set the object attributes in a task flow?

    I have created a web service data control which has an operation having input as payload object. This payload object has two attributes min and max. I am calling a task flow in a dynamic region in which I want to display result of this operation for which i have to set the values for min and max. I want to set these values when I click the taskflow link. How to achieve this? I am new to adf.

    Hi Arun,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have tried passing parameter to a task flow, but i cannot set the action to a task flow call because it already has action for a method in a dynamic region which renders the task flow at runtime. How do i set action to task flow call link? Also once i get the parameters into the page flow scope variables, i want to pass those to one of my data control operation which displays the result in that taskflow.(i dont want to create parameter form for this operation).

    please tell me how i can do it.
    i am waiting for reply.
    regards

    there are options aplenty for this.  First off, do you have the database connectivity toolset?  If so, You can do it from there.  Following the examples in labview. Or you can do a search for ADO or access database, and find plenty of VIs that can do this.

    On Demand doesn't support adding attachments via web services. One
    solution I've seen is depending on the scenario is to create a web link
    field on an object that's based on a custom text field. Your web service
    can populate that custom field and the web link can generate a dynamic
    link to the file in On Demand's UI. However, this depends on where the
    attachment is located and if the user needs some sort of firewall access.
    Hope this helps

  • When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Please help. My ipod classic could not be recognised by itunes when I connect my ipod to PC. Previously it has been recognised before I updated. This was a while ago now and so I removed all apple files and re installed the latest itunes but am having the same problem.
    When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
    If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
    For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
    9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
    Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
    After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint.

    I backed up my 3GS using iTunes. I then restored the file to my new 4GS. Then I synced the apps onto the 4GS. Then I downloaded 2 custom ringtones, and attempted to sync them onto the 4GS, but it says "This Library is already synced with another phone, and if you try to sync, you will lose all of the information on the iPhone." I am a Windows user. This Sync process is VERY confusing.

    How can I possibly get these two new ringtones onto the iPhone without wiping out everything else on the phone? This Sync process is nuts.
    I have Backed Up the phone twice. Why would iTunes try to wipe out the phone?

    i nid to restore the file which i suddenly delete in download.. i was about to delete the files which are not important but i suddenly delete the files which are important... how can i restore it??

    Check the Windows recycle bin, you may be able to recover the files from there. Right-click on the recycle bin icon on the desktop and select Open. This will open Explorer, if the files are listed there, right-click on them and choose Restore.
    If the files are not in the recycle bin, you can try a file recovery utility such as recuva - http://www.piriform.com/recuva

    Recently, i had to do a clean re-install of windows 7hp. And also i saved the needed data. of course i lost all of my downloaded software etc.  Their is a second drive on my computer with lightroom;its backups and a folder entitled all my photos. The same material for lightroom is backed up to an external hard drive.   How do i go about re-installing lr5 ,  and restore the catalogue back ups and the other folders.? I need a step by step set of procedures here as i  am a computer stupie.  Thanks for your help!

    Not sure where you came up with these steps from
    Step 1 ... either should work, but the download is the most recent version
    Step 2 ... double-click on the latest catalog backup, yes
    Step 3 ... Catalog is whereever you double-clicked on the backup file, you can move it whereever you want thereafter, using your operating system with Lightroom closed
    Step 4 ... no moving of photos should be needed, definitely NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING, if the photos are not linked in Lightroom, then follow these instructions http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm and remember NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING NO IMPORTING and did I mention that you should not import your photos?
    For future reference, you stated that you had Lightroom and its backups on the same drive ... do not do this ... backups must go on a different physical drive
