How to delete the hidden partition (about 35 GB) on my H430 HDD?

Hello dear sirs/madams
I want to delete the hidden partition in my H430 desktop. It came with DOS. I am unable to use OneKey Recovery after the reseller installed Windows 7 Ultimate x32. And it is showing the hard disk capacity is 465 GB in my 500 GB HDD. I googled and found that it has a hidden partition. I am unable to delete it using diskpart because it doesn't show the partition. Here's the screenshot of diskpart.

Please tell me if I can still use OneKey Recovery.
Please guide me. I am using Windows 8 Pro x64.

I don't think you have a hidden partition that DISKPART can't see..

Deleting the Hidden Partition

HI, I'm going to rebuild my system with Windows Vista, as it was shipped with XP.
In doing so, I was considering deleting the hidden partition. If I delete this, will I only be deleting the option to restore to the factory defaults? I have made recovery DVD's so if this is the case, I should be fine. Will I still have the option to hit the thinkvantage button on boot up and have some of the other tools that are there, such as diagnostics, or do I loose that as well.
Thanks
David

I deleted my hidden partition also after making recovery discs. You can use the discs to restore everything including the hidden partition if necessary.
The info on deleting the partition is here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=2367169#post2367169/
A great guide for clean installing Vista is here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=144783
Good luck!

How to delete the OEM partition?

I just purchased a Lenovo desktop, and wanted to repartition.
Currently I have 3 partitions, here is a picture I took of how it looks:
http://i.imgur.com/Hy6Z8.jpg
I wanted to partition my C: so it is not both system AND data. I wanted to make a separate Data drive.
In addition, I am wanting to use a paid version of an image backup software that I like, so I don't need the One-Key recovery partion.
Am I right in assuming the 25gb portion is the One-Key recovery? If so, I am not able to delete it. Right clicking on it only has a "help" option.
The other partions can be right clicked on with standard options to (shrink, extend, delete etc).
Any help would be much appreciated!

You can use diskpart at command prompt.

Or, you could shrink C: and create one more partition in
the free space.

How to delete the hdd and re-partition during the installation.

Hi,
I am new to Arch, currently I have a laptop that installed with Opensuse os, now I want to switch it to Arch entirely.
So, I need to delete the whole partitions that previously created when install Openesuse. I just want to install single Arch on the machine only.
How can I do it?
Thanks

Yea you can set up your scheme all with gparted. Keep in mind though, that is just formatting your disk correctly, no files will be installed, just the disk setup for arch to install to.
So when you get into gparted what your goal is going to be is to set up your disk for install. I used the scheme of
3 partitions,
one for root 20GB - /
one for swap 2GB
and one for home 80GB- /home
This is a pretty common config and I think it is best but it depends on your situation and what you want, thats pretty standard though.
So that's what you'll have set up when you leave gparted live cd and then boot to your arch cd, all your partitions set up and ready for arch to install its files to.
Also, arch wiki is really killer wiki, I mean the guys did an awesome job on the beginners guide, but there's nothing wrong with having extra reference guides. I used this one with the arch wiki:
http://lifehacker.com/5680453/build-a-k … he-process
I would take a look at them both.
And i would have them both open when your doing this whole thing, so hopefully you have a tablet or a cell phone to have these pages open while you install.
And like pks said, you don't have to use gparted live cd, its just recommended in the beginners guide. I did use it, and i thought it made it a lot easier. But if you are familiar with command line disk editing, go for it!
EDIT: PS man i dont know about you but i always like to have extra partitions on my disk so I can test other linux distrobutions. It kinda sounds like you are testing them, you have centos and now arch, are you sure your not going to want to install more later? Cause if you maybe want to and you have a big enough hard drive your not pressed for space you might want to create your arch install partitions and have an extra couple for another distro in the future.
Like me I installed arch, and now im installing Gentoo to try it out, i made extra partitions beforehand.
So I made my arch ones:
sda1 - /
sda2 - swap
sda3 /home
then for Gentoo
sda4 - /
sda5 /home
and they would be sharing swap partition. So i had all these partitions set up before I installed anything to the disk. Just an idea Good luck!

How to delete the data from partition table

Hi all,
Am very new to partition concepts in oracle..
here my question is how to delete the data from partition table.
is the below query will work ?
delete from table1 partition (P_2008_1212)
we have define range partition ...
or help me how to delete the data from partition table.
Thanks
Sree

delete from table1 partition (P_2008_1212)This approach is wrong - as Andre pointed, this is not how partition tables should be used.
Oracle supports different structures for data and indexes. A table can be a hash table or index organised table. It can have B+tree index. It can have bitmap indexes. It can be partitioned. Etc.
How the table implements its structure is a physical design consideration.
Application code should only deal with the logical data structure. How that data structure is physically implemented has no bearing on application. Does your application need to know what the indexes are and the names of the indexes,in order to use a table? Obviously not. So why then does your application need to know that the table is partitioned?
When your application code starts referring directly to physical partitions, it needs to know HOW the table is partitioned. It needs to know WHAT partitions to use. It needs to know the names of the partitions. Etc.
And why? All this means is increased complexity in application code as this code now needs to know and understand the physical data structure. This app code is now more complex, has more moving parts, will have more bugs, and will be more complex to maintain.
Oracle can take an app SQL and it can determine (based on the predicates of the SQL), which partitions to use and not use for executing that SQL. All done totally transparently. The app does not need to know that the table is even partitioned.
This is a crucial concept to understand and get right.

How to make a *full* backup (including the hidden partition), free solution prefered =) [T400]

Hi,
I'm planning on messing with my system a little (re-partition, install linux) and I want a full-proof recovery plan. This should work in case I *completely* mess up my HD (bad boot records, destroyed partitions, etc.)
I have an external hard drive with plenty of free space. How would I make a completely backup; something that would restore everything (including the hidden partition) to its current state?
Is there any way to do this using free/opensource?
Keep in mind that if there's a linux app that can do this, I can just boot up using a live CD and run the app from there.
Thanks in advance.

Vista or XP? What is/was the partition layout? IIRC, w/XP the 2nd partition is the service partition (hd0,1) and with Vista it is the first (hd0,0). I don't know if that is always the case, so how is your drive layed out?
ISTR that with XP the service partition is "hidded' by using an ID of 12 (or something) even though it is a FAT32 partition. Grub might be unhappy with the ID. Changing it to "C" might let it boot. That's just a WAG. My recollection is that the ID only affected where I could install the grub files, not what I could boot.
I've got some old notes here somewhere: www.beezmo.com/ThinkPadT61.htm maybe in "partitioning" or Windows XP.
**** grrr. the insert link thingy isn't working. the link above is literally correct, but the forum is inserting some invisible characters ****
I don't know clonezillla. Will it let you restore only one of the partitions? If so, do a restore to factory (with the recovery media you made immediately on receiving the laptop) and then restore only the Vista or XP partition from clonezilla.
HTH,
Z.

How to delete the multiple companies assignement of a employee in SRM

Hello Friends,
In business partner maintenance (BP), one employee assigned to multiple companies in relationship tab.
Following are the entries observed in relationship tab in BP Transaction code.
Is employee of
xxx(BP number) u2013 Company(address type) --- xxx(description) u2013valid from --- valid to -->1st entry
xxx(BP number) u2013 Company(address type) --- xxx(description) u2013valid from --- valid to --> 2nd entry
Ideally one employee should assigned to one company only.
Kindly let me know how to delete the relationship.
We are using release SRM 5.0 with classic extended scenario.
The organization structure is HR Replicated.
Thanks in Advance,
Pithani Suresh

Hello Ganesh,
Thank you for providing information.
The employee is not assigned to multiple companies. The assignment is related to orgnizational unit.
In organization structure (PPOSA_BBP), the user/position is assigned to one organization unit only
More details about this issue,
we find the relationship of the user/position in BP T.code (Relationship Tab), it is showing the relationship with current organizational unit and previous organizational unit. Ideally it should be assigned to one organizational unit. Due to some inconsistency, it is still showing the previous organizational unit.
Example: Ex: User A is replicated from HR to SRM and assigned to Dept A (org unit 1) and later User A is shifted to Dept B (org unit 2) from HR Replication.
Following are the entries observed in relationship tab in BP Transaction code.
Input is BP number assigned to of the user A central person.
User u201CAu201D is employee of
BP number of org unit 1u2013 Company(address type) --- xxx(description) u2013valid from --- valid to -->1st entry
BP number of org unit 2 u2013 Company(address type) --- xxx(description) u2013valid from --- valid to --> 2nd entry
Thanks & Regards,

How can delete the serve.bannersdontwork virus from Safari on Mac?

Hello @all,
How can delete the serve.bannersdontwork virus from Safari on Mac?
About every 8-20 clicks Safari opens a webside named serve.bannersdontwork.
I can not remove this with my Avira antivirus programm.
Can anybody help me?
THX
Hallo an alle,
Ich habe mir einen Virus eingefangen, serve.bannersdontwork, auf Safari.
Alle 8-20 clicks öffnet sich diese Seite "serve.bannersdontwork" und leitet mich auf andere weiter.
Über mein Antivirusprogramm Avira konnte ich den Virus nicht beheben.
Auch die erweiterung AdBlock hilf hier nicht weiter.
Wer weiß, oder hat eine Ahnung, wie man diesen Virus wieder los wird?
Danke schonmal im voraus!!

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Possible to repair the hidden partition on T61p?

Hi,
it seems that my hidden partition has been damaged (not physically). Strange things happen when proceeding to a restore, mainly some software i had when i received the thinkpad isn't present after the "factory" restore....
Restoring with the cds i created doesn't fix it.
Is there a way to repair, or anyway to get the hidden partition in exactly the same "shape" it was when I bought the laptop at the retailer (less than 2 weeks ago)?
thank you
T61p 6460-D8G, Vista (downgrade to XP soon...), T9300, Quadro FX570M, 15,4' WUXGA...

i'm not sure that i've listed everything, but at least:
- Office trial, as you mentioned it (didn't even have time to use it...Do you know where i can download it? Lenovo or Microsoft?)
- Rescue and recovery at least, maybe other TV utilities, but i didn't take time to check everything yet....
The thing is, i would like to repair the hidden partition, get it in "brand new" status, create recovery CDs, so that I have the system as it came, sealed, from the retailer + the recovery set, all of that with Vista. I would preciously ("my preciousssss" :-) ) keep that in a box.
After that, i will put in the laptop a new hard disk drive I'm about to buy (7200rpm 320Go 2.5 SATA...), and install XP on it (hopefully from the Lenovo downgrade kit that came with my thinkpad)

How to delete "Free Space" Partition?

I partitioned my MacBook Pro into 2 volumes so I could dual boot Mavericks and Yosemite Developer Preview. After testing Yosemite, I found out that it was stable enough to run on my main partition. I installed it on my main partition replacing Mavericks and deleted the second partition which included Yosemite. While deleting, somehow I was left with an empty partition called "Free Space" which I cannot delete.
I am pretty sure the problem isn't related to Yosemite being a developer preview as it could've happened under an previous stable OS. How can I merge my "Free Space" partition with Macintosh HD?
MacBook Pro with Retina display 13-inch Late 2013
2.8GHz Intel Core i7
16GB RAM
Intel Iris graphics
512GB SSD
OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 2

If you select the top partition, does ////// lines appear in the bottom right hand corner? If so try selecting them and dragging downward. Boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) during a restart and try it there.

How to delete a hidden user account?

I recently installed livescribe desktop on my computer and the "other" option at the login appeared. The account is hidden, how do I delete it? Is there a way to delete it through terminal?

I found a solution to remove the "other" account that Livescribe creates. It is on their forum
http://www.livescribe.com/int/faq/support_forum.html#/forums/showthread.php?t=11 253&page=2
Under the section
To delete the hidden user account I opened Finder and looked for the following file under the following path: Macintosh HD /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow
I deleted the file and rebooted. Mac rebuilt the login users list, which will reveal the Livescribe hidden account. Login using your admin account (not the Livescribe one) and then go to System Preferences, then Accounts. You will then see the Livescribe account. Delete it like you'd delete any normal account.
This is not a very friendly install. It opens all kinds of security concerns. Livescribe should be warned, scolded, or something for doing this. They also install an adobe app (adobe air) in the process making it look like an update. this seems really sneaky and is not appreciated.
I lost many hours searching, disconnecting my mac from the net and contemplating a full reformat and reinstallation until I found this.
NOT NICE AT ALL.
At least I have gotten rid of the account now.

How to delete the Variants?.

Hi Friends,
I have created Variants for MD process chains to be scheduled perodically. There are about 5 Process chains and for each process chain i have created a variant in SE38 , and i have scheduled each of them in the background job periodically.
Now I have to create a Variant only for Meta chain, i have done that. But i need to delete the Variants for each of those process chains which i have created. How to delete the Variants?.
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks in Advance.
BN

You can delete variant from process chain with the below ways...
U can delete variants from table RSPCVARIANT (also see RSPCVARIANTATTR).
OR
If u wanted delete complete process chain (including process variant), U can delete PC from table RSPCCHAIN (see also RSPCVARIANTATTR)
OR
You can find Delete Feature in the Variant Itself. Open a variant - Delete
OR
when you edit the process chain, right click on the process and select maintain variant. On the next screen you have a delete button.
OR
you can use debugging to delete the variant if you are good at ABAP.
Thanks,
Saveen Kumar
