How to create factory default install disks

I have been looking for a way to use the hidden area to create system/factory install disks and not just recovery disks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

OK, now I feel stupid. I found the request I was looking for under "Think Vantage" software and it worked great. There was two selections (I only saw the one at first) and all is great and well.
If anyone needs help with this, I would love to help. Email me at [email protected] on how to do this.
Thanks to all that read this request and those that repliad.
Cheers and best wishes to you and yours...

How to create Mavericks usb install disk without knowing the admin password

How can I create a Mavericks usb for a fresh install without knowing the admin password. (lost password)

You dont need to have the installer on a USB stick!
I would agree with you if there was always an Internet connection available and the the Apple Servers were always in operation. In those instances when this is not the case, a USB installation drive is good to have. I speak from experience.

How to create Factory Default Recovery Disc with OneKey Recovery 4.0

I have a K430 and before I use it it (as with any machine I have bought) I wanted to make my recovery disc(s).
Throughout this website there are guides to do this with version 7, but this desktop has version 4.0 of OKR
I can save an image of my system partition but need the ability to install on to a clean hard drive in case of hard drive failure.
I have checked the Kb and forums and been through the Windows 8 programs but nothing points me the right way.
This is compounded by the fact that none of my drive imaging tools like the Seagate drive that was shipped in this machine (Ghost4Linux, CloneZilla, Acronis Easy Migrate)
Where is my option to create said media?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just to close this one.
I spoke to customer support on the phone as this post remained unanswered,
There are no recovery disc to buy or create for this machine, so should the hard drive fail you would need to source your own discs.
This machine will now be returned, a lost sale for the sake of a DVD.
Must say the guy I spoke to on the phone was really helpful and courteous, sadly held back by company policy.

Need help accessing the factory default restore disk - Ideapad b5609

I am working on a friends PC. It will not start up in normal mode but will start in safe mode. This PC has Windows 7 64 bit installed.
I don't know whjat he did to this except I used Malwarebytes to remove some malware. After I removed the malware, the PC would not boot in safe mode, but would get stuck at classpnp.sys. I searched for a solution for this and the only thing I could get to work was renaming classpnp.sys to classpnp.old. This allowed the PC to boot in safe mode again but this needs to get fixed.
What I wanted to do was access the factory default restore disk, back it up to USB ( No dvd's) if possible and reinstall a fresh copy of the system. - But I don't even know if this laptop has a factory restore disk, Is there one?
The PC owner says he didn't get a dvd when he bought the PC. This person was born without arms and is not too PC literate. He uses the PC for e-mail and going to porn sites. It's possible he did have a dvd for the PC if it came with one but he just doesn't remember or even knew what it is.
I do see a Backup and Repair app in the start menu / Maintenence folder but It doesn't start from safe mode. One Key Recovery doesn't work either.. I don't know what it does but I was going to look at it to see if it will help fix the PC.
I tried a windows system recovery disk, and it says it cannot fix the problem. My friend told me this PC is over a year old so i assume it's out of warrenty.
Please help, Thank you.
Moderator Note; similar threads merged

I've already removed the malware with malwarebytes and double checked this with the offline version of Defender. The PC is over a year old.. the owner tells me it's not in warrenty. I didn't want to mess up the hidden recovery partition so i installed a fresh copy of windows 7 to C drive. Since I can now boot into C i will try to install and use OneKey recovery to access and reinstall from the hidden partition.
I understand there is an Enginers version of Onekey Recovery I may have to get if i have problems - it's the version of OKR that the OEM's use to set up the partition in the first place.. from my info anyway..
This is the second time tryiong to fix it from a fresh install on C drive. The first time had a Windows.old folder I wanted to try to reinstall stuff from, but on trying to back that up to a external hard drive via USB, the system crashed and said missing master boot record. A StartUp Repair disk ran 6 times could not fix the problem ( same disk I used to install.. told me it didn't find any problems !
Other odd behavior.. when i was copying the windows.old folder, it didn't tell me i had so many files to go.. always sais it had 0 files left to transfer.
I couldn't get the sound drivers to work even after downloading the right ones from lenovo. I even let device manager try to reinstall the drivers from the Realtek folder in the windows.old folder - those should have worked - and the pc told me that the drivers matches and were up to date - however, the error i get told me there is a problem with the drivers and installation would fail when i tried to install from the downloaded exe.
I have been fixing my own systems for over 20 years, i have never seen a system as screwy as this with a fresh install.

Mac Pro missing "Create Windows 7 Install Disk"

Okay well when i try to use bootcamp as i already bought a copy of windows 7. The Create Windows 7 Install Disk option is not there for me. In every tutorial to setup bootcamp has had that option. Is my bootcamp messed up or did i do something wron? Specs: 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 6GB 1066Mhz OS X 10.8.2 Thanks

Your Mac Pro must be newer than a Mac Pro 5,1, and must have a minimum ROM version in order to use the USB installer you are looking for. If your machine is older, or doesn't have the correct ROM versions, then you need to use the "old fashioned" disc install method....

In the second step of bootcamp, I am supposed to either check the box where it says create a windows install disk, what exactly is this? Do I need to do this?

If you already have Windows on a DVD or USB drive, you don't have to tick that option. That's only for people who have Windows on a ISO file and have to burn it into a USB drive

How to create a default Style for several Content Areas

Hello,
I have not been able to figure out how to create default styles/nav bars/etc... that can be used between SEVERAL Content Areas, and/or for any new Content Area. It seems to me that what is created in one Content Area, is not available for use in any other Content Area.
Being that I'd like to keep the Administrative overhead as low as possible, I wonder if anyone has and/or knows how to create a default style, etc.. and use it with each Content Area across an Enterprise site???
Many thanks for any information you may have!!

Kahli,
check out the Shared Objects node in the Content Area navigator.
Good luck, Tony

Bootcamp Assistant: "'Create Windows 7 Install Disk Option' Missing" Fix Problem

Firstly, sorry if this is in the incorrect fourm area, it's related with the Mountain Lion OSx software, so I posted here.
I am Running OSX 10.8.3
I'm trying to install bootcamp with a .ISO and a USB Drive. You need to make a Windows 7 install disk, and Bootcamp Assistant can do that for you, but the option isn't showing up.
I am running OSX 10.8.3 M-Lion
The link below shows how to fix the issue......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD4kgJQ-r0c
I did everything as it says, until the 2:20 mark in the video, where he tells you to go to the USBSupportedModels and copy the first string that follows....
I couldn't find it,however,I found a similar one, shown below. I beleive it's the thing that I need to duplicate, but the strings, shown below, are considerably different.
<key>PreUSBBootSupportedModels</key>
          <array>
                    <string>MacBook7,1</string>
                    <string>MacBookAir3,2</string>
                    <string>MacBookPro8,3</string>
                    <string>MacPro5,1</string>
                    <string>Macmini4,1</string>
                    <string>iMac12,2</string>
If you look in the Top comments section, there are people, running the same OSX as mine (10.8.3) saying that it's not working, with 2 people rating it up. There is a reply saying that it does work. However, I know if somthing is messed up, the Assistant would be rendered unusable, a risk i am hesitating to take. I Googled everywhere, but all I'm finding is the same fix for USBSupported over and over again.
Has anyone found a correct or know of a fix for this? OR should I just go ahead and do as the video says?
Thanks!

Don't modify that file because anyway it won't work. The reason is that Apple has determined the Macs that support the Windows installation from a USB drive by their firmware. It means that if you modify that file you will be able to create a Windows 7 USB drive, but if you try to install Windows, your computer will show up a black screen in the next startup telling you that it hasn't found any bootable device.
You can edit that file if you want, but it's not sure that the option will show up in Boot Camp Assistant, and you won't be able to install Windows through a USB drive because the firmware of your computer doesn't support this

How to Create a default domain and deploy the application in jdeveloper using a script or code (not manually)

Hi ,
I have installed Jdev using silent installation .
Now I have some apps already created I want to create a default domain and then deploy apps into that through ant or any script?
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks and Regards,
Vivek Pemawat

We still don't know what you want to archive with here.
Cvele_new_account got you a pointer on how to install the DefaultDomain.
Tip: if you want to know or see the exact command line jdev uses to install the DefaultDomain, open jdev and in the application server navigator right click on hte integrated server and select configure DefualtDomain. In the log window you see the command line with all parameters.

Need to create a Lion install disk

I am on the side of those who think this is recovery method is absolutely stupid. I want a USB drive (and I'm not paying $68 for it, since I could buy 10 8GB USB flash drives for that amount of cash, and Lion is supposed to be included for us) with the whole installation disk. I travel a lot, and although I've only had to use recovery disks once, it was in a place without internet, so I would be up the creek under this new Apple "innovation."
So, I have a new MBP. Of course, it came with Lion. I cannot figure out a way to download Lion to create a Lion installer. If I go to the App store, it says "installed". I can't do anything there. I don't think Apple saved more than $1 in production costs for a Lion DVD installer, so this is truly annoying.
How can I get the Lion disk image to get the installer onto a flash drive, so that I can save my Mac, just in case? I know how to creat the installer, but I need Lion.
And I'm going to head over to the complaint department to register my annoyance at this. I mean why couldn't they have included a USB flash drive in the brand new box? I actually looked, believe it or not.

Here you go.
Follow the instructions in this link to download the InstallESD.dmg file for your new MBP so you can create a USB thumb drive installer. I have a Mac Mini mid-2011 and the instructions worked great. The only thing that might not work right is restoring the InstallESD.dmg to your bootable thumb drive. It might get to the end then fail. If this happens, just dblclick the .dmg file to mount it and restore the 'Mac OS X Install ESD' to the thumb drive. I have used mine to reinstall Lion with and without an internet connecton. It works great.
I think there might be a slightly easier way to do this. I could start up in the Recovery function, but tell it to install to another drive (not my MBP). When the Mac reboots, just hold down the option key, and then restart back into my MBP. Dig through the file on the other drive for the Mac OSX InstallESD.dmg, and move it over to the USB or anything. Then I can restore Mac Lion without the internet, then use Time Machine to rebuild everything. Easy.

How to create a Lion boot disk for Lion on a MBPRD?

I have a unique version of Lion on my MBPRD. How do I create a Lion Boot Disk for this unique version?

Why is it a Unique version of Lion? The only versions of Lion are ones for older Macs, Before the Mid 2012 models came out, and a version that includes the newer drivers for the newest model Macs, Current shipping Mid 2012 models.
If you are talking about a version for the new Mid 2012 models then you will need to wait for Apple to update their Lion Download servers because right now they do not have the newest Lion version available on those servers.

How to create a silent install without firstlaunch and autoupdate enabled

Its been asked numerous times but I cant find an answer in these forums or via search. I want to create an admin install for Blackberry Desktop Manager 7.1. RIM publishes a guide for creating a silent install but not a useful guide for turning off the autoupdate feature. Their answer, basically, is to regedit the HKCU keys to disable autupdate. However, These keys do not exist until after the user logins and runs the desktop manager for the first time.
How can these keys be incorporated during the initial install? I attempted to create an MST with orca however, contrary to to RIM's silent install guide you can't run the msi directly, rather you have to use the setup.exe to kick off the msi.
Has anyone had any luck creating the mst? What lines in the msi do you edit to create the mst? And finally, how do you run the install with the mst in command line?
Considering that the largest user base for blackberries are enterprise environments RIM really needs to make a more admin friendly install with proper documentation. While our hate does make us stronger, **bleep** off the IT crowd will only further fuels the push to other devices.

The steps you followd seem right, the only thing however that is missing is when you add the channel with provider class name. The channel gets added only for the domain, it does not automatically perculate to all roles and users below if the user has customized his settings. You would have to enable the option Apply changes to all roles and sub roles for the user to inherit this, however if you have made any specific changes for the user that will get over written by the domain values when you select the option apply changes to all roles and sub roles.

How can I make an install disk for iTunes?

I need to update iTunes but I cannot get the download to complete. The connection has been confirmed as stable so it doesn't appear to be a system issue. If I make an install disk for the current version of iTunes on another PC, I should be able to install it. The download doesn't give options to save to a disk. How should I go about this?

The download doesn't give options to save to a disk
Go to the following webpage and click the "Download" button, and then click the "Save" button:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
... once the iTunesSetup.exe (installer) file has downloaded, then copy the iTunesSetup.exe file across to your CD (or even a large-enough thumb drive or something similar). Copy the iTunesSetup to your PC from the CD or thumb, and start the install by doubleclicking on the file.

Create a new Install Disk?

Hello everybody!
I've got an iMac 233 with OS 9 on it, but it has no install disks. I'm wondering if I could make one.
I know that it can't burn discs, but I've got a Mac mini as well. The optical drive doesn't work too well, so could I install from a flash drive or an external HDD?
Any help is appreciated!

Hi, Shake 'n' Bake -
I meant could you walk me through making an install disk....
If you want to make your own bootable disk with an installer app on it, your own version of an OS 9 Install CD, that would be extremely difficult. Making a bootable CD is not too hard; the prblem is, where would you get the installer app and the resource files it needs? The only source I know of for those would be an OS 9 Instal CD - and, if you have that, you don't need to make one. There is no complete OS 9 install available for download from Apple; the only downloads available are updaters, which require a pre-exisitng earlier version of OS 9 to be present.
As I said, making a bootable CD is not too difficult; you could do that, and place a copy of your exisitng System Folder on it in a disk image along with other things such as Disk First Aid, Drive Setup, etc. Since OS 9 can be successfully copied via drag and drop, you could use this disk to wipe the drive if needed, and then copy the duplicated System Folder back onto the hard drive.
To make a bootable CD you will need to use Toast - Apple's Disc Burner program can not create a bootable CD. The instructions for doing that come with Toast. I believe the last version of Toast that is usable in OS 9 is version 5.
As far as the additional files to place on the CD, make a disk image (a self-mounting one) and copy your existing System Folder and any other files you want to be able to replace on the hard drive into that. Make a separate folder (not in the disk image) named Utilities; in that folder place copies of Drive Setup, Disk Copy, and Disk First Aid - these are apps you may need to use while booted to the CD.
Frankly, I think you would be better off purchasing a retail OS 9 Install CD. They're not cheap, unless you can find one at a good price on EBay (be careful to get only a retail disk; those have a white label), but such a disk will do what you want with no bother or fuss.
One of the disadvantages of creating your own bootable disk with a copy of your existing System Folder on it is that if there is a problem with that OS, if it is damaged, copying it will also copy the problem or damage.
A 'real' OS 9 Install CD guarantees undamaged files.
