How to copy a file to Windows system in Mode

It seems I did kind of a mess when I wanted to remove a software (Windows Search) and now the Laptop cannot reboot even in Safemode.
The file missing is GDI32.dll in the Windows\System32 directory.
Does somebody have a recommendation to recover from this situation without reformating the drive ?
The computer is a ThinkPad Lenovo R61
Thank you
Pascal

here are some options that i know.
- Boot pc using windows instalation cd. start recovery console -> copy missing file from cd
- Boot pc using bootable usb/DVD (linux or windows PE) -> copy file from usb stick.
- Put harddrive to working pc as second disk and then copy missing file.
- Press F8 at pc startup and select "last good config that worked"
or
if you have thinkvantage rescue and recovery installed use it to restore missing file

Copy CSV file from windows to linux

how to copy CSV file from windows to UNIX server?Using scp (secure copy).
It is supported by Putty and ssh services are available by default on most (if not all) modern Unix servers.
Don't have a Windows machine close by, but I recall the scp command is supported by the Putty executable called "+pscp.exe+".
The syntax is very simple:
scp <from_destination> <to_destination>
example (pushing a file from Windows to Oracle Unix server)
scp c:\datafiles\accounts.csv [email protected]:/u01/files/accounts.csv This will prompt for a password.
You also can use ssh trusted certificates (RSA or DSA keys) to automate this. Using Putty you can generate a key pair that consists of a private key and public key.
You copy and paste the public key into the destination server's +$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys+ file. This results the server in trusting that client and allows the client to connect (using ssh, scp and sftp) without having to supply a password (as the private part of the key serves as authentication). (I would however not use the oracle account for this, but a special scp-copy usage Unix account that does not support shell usage)
If you want to automate it the other way around - have the Unix server pull the file from the Windows client, then you need to install server software on that Windows machine to allow it to provide such a file copy service.
Again I suggest using ssh - OpenSSH is available for a variety of platforms, and Windows should be included. If not, there should be ssh service for Windows from Microsoft or another vendor that can be used.
Any other method than ssh will be either insecure or problematic. FTP is insecure as usernames and passwords are transmitted in clear text. Using Windows File Sharing requires Samba to be loaded and configured on the Unix server - and this is extra work installing and configuring and testing s/w that uses a low level security, that is also proprietary and could required setting on the Windows client also to make it work in a somewhat robust fashion.
The standard today is ssh. It is robust and secure. And it makes a lot of sense to use it.. and pretty good motivation for not using it ifo something else.

Can't copy some files from Windows 7 to Mac OSX over network

Hi,
I'm running the latest version of Max OSX v10.8.4 on a brand new Macbook Pro.
I have followed the setup instructions at http://www.7tutorials.com/how-change-workgroup-mac-os-x-easy-networking to access my Macbook from Windows, and http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/24950/how-to-share-a-folder-in-os-x-with-windows/ to share some folders from my Macbook to Windows.
I am now trying to copy some files from my Windows 7 Pro (SP1) computer to my Mac, and have hit the following problems:
I can view my Macbook in my list of local networked computers on WIndows, but I cannot access it. Clicking on it causes Windows 7 to try and access it, but then I get a message after a minute saying the network path could not be found. However, if I manually enter the IP address of my Macbook in the Windows address bar (\\192.168.0.191), I can view and access all the shared folders. I can never access the Macbook via it's computer name (\\MACBOOK-ROB).
I cannot copy some files from Windows to my Macbook shared folders via Windows. There is nothing to distinguish these files from the hundereds of other files that I have successfully copied to my Macbook. They are pictures and music with no special characters in the filenames, not overly long filenames or folder paths, no access restrictions, or any other security restriction that I can see. However, every single attempt to copy these files to my Macbook results in WIndows reporting that access to the destination was denied.
I have tried both these above scenarios on WiFi and Ethernet, and the results are the same.
So:
Why am I unable to access my Macbook by it's computer name on the network? How can Windows see it, but not access it?
What are the limitations on transferring files over SMB that is (presumably) causing these specific files to fail?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I have a fix for inability to copy files. I had the same problem moving a lot of old files across my LAN from a Windows XP machine to a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. After confirming copy of some special file, I would get an error that terminated the copy operation, and info on the Mac side would show a locked folder.
I finally decided to eliminate all special files on the Windows side, before copying, by running
attrib -s -h -r /s /d [drive or folder]\*.*
in a command window. Running attrib /? tells what the arguments mean, but it doesn't explain that you need the *.* to make the command go through the hierarchy clearing the special attributes on all the files.
After I did that, and then used drag and drop between two Windows Explorer windows (one on the Windows drive, on on the target drive on the Mac), the whole move operation ran to completion without stopping either for error or to ask for confirmation.
I do not have a fix for the inability to access some computers by name rather than by IP address. I'm looking into the possibility of activating bind on the Mac but I haven't done anything yet.

You can do this in steps.. First use the built in method for uploading a file into the flows files object, Next you would copy the file out to an Oracle built directory on your UNIX box using utl_file.put_raw..
Here is a link to show you how to upload files in an APEX application [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31036_01/doc/appdev.22/b28839/up_dn_files.htm]

How to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

how to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

You can PDFs to the iPad, but first you need one or more apps on the iPad that supports PDFs - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
Options include free apps such as Apple's iBooks app and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader (which also supports read-only of other documents types).
For iBooks you can first add the PDFs to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library, and you can then sync them by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and using the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync them.
For Adobe Reader adnd GoodReader you can use the file sharing on the Apps tab on the right-hand side to copy them over : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX? I'm having SO much trouble with this! Any help would be appreciated!!!

In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.

Does anyone know how to copy my files from my ipod to a different computer?

Does anyone know how to copy my files from my ipod to a different computer? I tried to do it, but all that it did was erase my files. What i want to to is use my ipod to transfer my files to another computer (which has itunes as well) PLEASE help!

You will need to enable your iPod for disk use. Then, you should see your iPod in "My Computer" and you can open up your iPod's folder there and drag the files into it. You can store the files on the iPod, then connect it to the other computer and drag-and-drop them from the iPod into the designated directory in that computer. Make sure individual files are not larger than 4 GB.

We need how to copy macro logic in the system

Hi Experts,
we need how to copy macro logic in the system, we have some macros in my friend system, i need how to copy macro logic , can u send me elaborate.
Regards,
BABU

I'm a bit uncomfortable with you've wanted to do especially you and your friend has a different system (unless its a sister company/industry). If this would be the case you can copy your friend's macro with the help of your basis team to transport them in one system to another.
if the case is different organization, I'm not sure if that is possible since no industry have same requirements but i may suggest the links below for your reference on how to copy the Macro into external system. Hope the document is relevant to your issue.

That's a Quest proprietary file extension. You need to use their Toad data modelling tool to look at those files. Unlike TOAD for Oracle there is no free version of Data Modeller. Find out more.

How to copy large files - fast

Hi, here is an I/O challenge: I need to copy large binary files under windows in one of my apps. File size can be above 2 GB. The copying should be as fast as possible. What would be the fastest way to do this?
Here is what I've tried so far:
1) Use FileInputStream/FileOutputStream with a byte buffer (see copy1 below)
2) Use BufferedInputStream/BufferedOutputStream (see copy2 below)
3) Use java.nio.FileChannel#transferTo (see copy3 below)
4) Use a shell copy command (see copy4 below)
Testing the four methods with a 500 MB file I get
1) 525271525 Byte in 47141 ms (11142 kByte/s)
2) 525271525 Byte in 68969 ms (7616 kByte/s)
3) 525271525 Byte in 38765 ms (13550 kByte/s)
4) 525271525 Byte in 37984 ms (13828 kByte/s)
This is on a Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz, 512 MB RAM, Windows XP with JDK 1.4.2.
Hence, my favorite method would be 3), since it is more portable than 4).
However, with java.nio.FileChannel#transferTo I get exceptions for files larger than 2 GB. The exception is
java.io.IOException: Falscher Parameter
at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.map0(Native Method)
at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.map(FileChannelImpl.java:673)
at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.transferToTrustedChannel(FileChannelImpl.java:421)
at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.transferTo(FileChannelImpl.java:490)leading me to suspect that the long values used by Java to specify the file length are not supported by the native code, and that they may be downcast to a 32-bit signed number. (If anyone could shed some more light on this, I'd be grateful!) So, is there a better way than using 4), a shell copy command?
Following is the code I used to for my test:import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.BufferedOutputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.channels.FileChannel;

Hmm, I guess I have to agree with jschell. Runtime.exec("cmd /c copy <file1> <file2>"); is the way to go.
The FileChannell#transferTo method in a loop, as asjf suggested, is not much slower, but it's a workaround. Using JNI to call the system command, is probably not worth the effort. I can't see how it will be faster than calling the shell copy command.
Thank you all for your help! Cheers, HJK
