How to install operating system on T61 from recovery folder.

Hi,
I bought T61 lenovo laptop on October 2007. It's almost more than one year. I didn't upgrade my warranty due to some reasons.
Now my system infected with virus. I would like to install operating system (i.e windows XP).
When I bought this, I didn't receive any operating system Recovery CD. I came to know that...... they provide recovery folder in the system itself. with that recovery we can install operating system.
Could you pls let me know the path for recovery folder and let me know the installation procedure step by step.
Thanks in advance
Raghu

Restart the computer, When you see the IBM/Lenovo splash screen press the blue Thinkvantage button. From there you can select recover my computer or restore to factory condition (depends on software version). Follow steps to restore.When completed make a set of recovery discs. If possible do this before restoring. The discs will be necessary if something goes wrong.
To make the discs click Start/Thinkvantage/Create recovery set. (the names vary with XP or Vista)

  • How to install operating system on new hard drive without installation disc on macbook pro 2011

    My macbook pro 2011 does not come with a recovery disc or any disc at all, my hard drive recently failed and i have no backup. i have replaced the hard drive but don't know how to install the operating system on the new hard drive.

    If it originally shipped with 10.7 or newer, connect the computer to the Internet and start it up with the Option, Command, and R keys held down. You'll be able to install an OS.
    If it shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier and wasn't upgraded to use Apple's Internet Recovery system, phone AppleCare and order the disks.

  • How to get Operating System Space Info from Oracle database using SQL

    Our oracle databases are installed on Unix operating system. Currently our DBA wrote a view to get space info of table spaces and He is requesting me to add Operating system level(file system) drive space info to the same report.
    Can you please let me know the easiest way to get this information to sql table so that it can be used for reporting purposes?

    You should be able to create a shell script with the OS commands to generate the information for the mount points that you want to access in Oracle, then read it in as an external table using the preprocessor feature of external tables:

  • How to call Operating System commands / external programs from within APEX

    Hi,
    Can someone please suggest how to call Operating Systems commands / external programs from within APEX?
    E.g. say I need to run a SQL script on a particular database. SQL script, database name, userid & password everything is available in a table in Oracle. I want to build a utility in APEX where by when I click a button APEX should run the following
    c:\oracle\bin\sqlplusw.exe userud/password@database @script_name.sql
    Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Guys,
    I have reviewed the option of using scheduler and javascript and they do satisfy my requirements PARTIALLY. Any calls to operating system commands through these features will be made on the server where APEX is installed.
    However, here what I am looking at is to call operating systems programs on client machine. For example in my APEX application I have constructed the following strings of commands that needs to be run to execute a change request.
    sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script1.sql
    sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script2.sql
    sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script3.sql
    sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script4.sql
    What I want is to have a button/link on the APEX screen along with these lines so that when I click that link/button this entire line of command gets executed in the same way it would get executed if I copy and paste this command in the command window of windows.
    Believe me, if I am able to achieve what I intend to do, it is going to save a lot of our DBAs time and effort.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How do I create multiple live USBs of Operating systems to boot from on one flashdrive?

    How do I create multiple live USBs of Operating systems to boot from on one flashdrive?
    I am attempting to create multiple live USBs within one flashdrive so that i can boot various operating systems without having to buy multiple USb sticks. I am using a Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Operating System currently. I am using the Terminal provided by the OS.
    I would like to try Debian, Kali, Precise Puppy, and Sabayon- with one space left empty for whatever Linux OS I would like to try next. I have partitioned an 8GB flashdrive into the following sections:
    name of intended OS,     space allocated for it:
    1)Debian ........................1.32 GB
    2)Kali..............................2.61GB
    3)Precise Puppy..............163.7MB
    4)Sabayon.......................1.77GB
    5)TBD..............................2.14GB
    I have figured out how to change the .iso files of the operating systems into .img files with the following commands:
    hdiutil convert -format UDRW /path/to/input.iso -o /path/to/output.img
    a .img.dmg file is created, this is corrected in the next line of code *please note: I am a a very beginner at programming, and would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!
    mv /path/to/output/file.img{.dmg,}
    This is where I started to get confused:
    I entered diskutil list to find the location of the partitions on my flashdrive, and this is the relevant section:
    /dev/disk1
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *8.0 GB     disk1
       1:                 DOS_FAT_32 DEBIAN               1.3 GB     disk1s1
       2:                 DOS_FAT_32 KALI                    2.6 GB     disk1s2
       3:                 DOS_FAT_32 PRECISE            163.7 MB   disk1s3
       4:                 DOS_FAT_32 SABAYON           1.8 GB     disk1s5
       5:                 DOS_FAT_32 TBD                     2.1 GB     disk1s6
    This is the code I attempted to use and the subsequent result:
    charles-burtons-mac-mini:~ charlesburton$ sudo dd if=/Users/charlesburton/Desktop/debian-live-7.2-i386-gnome-desktop.img of=/dev/disk1s1 bs=1m
    dd: /dev/disk1s1: Resource busy
    *at this point I went to the Disk Utility GUi and unmounted only the DEBIAN partition, now back to the terminal*
    charles-burtons-mac-mini:~ charlesburton$ sudo dd if=/Users/charlesburton/Desktop/debian-live-7.2-i386-gnome-desktop.img of=/dev/disk1s1 bs=1m
    dd: /dev/disk1s1: end of device

    Please may someone help explain why I had a return value of +1 in my records in and how I can make it work properly.

    I would like to know the answer to this as well.  I tried renaming the 3D version by adding 3D after it, but it still not a separate movie in iTunes.
    It's putting them in the same folder.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

    I've googled around and tried a lot of 'fixes' I've found from various sites but nothing seems to have remedied this issue. The only thing that changed (That I can think of) is the IP of the VM was changed to a different one. This seems to be when it started
    failing. All steps leading up to this point seem to work fine. Does anyone have any sugggestions? This is on a newly built, Hyper-v, server 2012 R2, MDT 2013 setup.
    Much Appreciated..!

  • MDT 2012 \ WinPE 3.0 Slow Install Operating System

    I have an issue with a custom wim I have incorporated into my Task sequence. When I use a custom Wim, at the point where the MDT Tasksequence begins to "Install Operating System" it slows down to a crawl. What previously took 5-10 minutes on a
    previous wim, is now taking 30-50. When the "Install Operating System" task begins, it starts a at a very decent rate, you can see the percentage or time increasing/changing every few seconds with out issue, but when it gets to 30% completion, it
    starts to slow down dramatically. Eventually it will get to 100% Completion, where it will stay for the next 5 minutes, at which point it will apply the unattend.xml which will also take a very very long time to complete.
    Once it reboots from applying the Unattend.xml everything runs normal.
    My Setup:
    I am using MDT 2012 - with WinPE3.0
    To create my Custom Wim I did the following:
    I created a brand new standard tasksequence, to deploy an OS to a machine, install updates then sysprep and capture to a wim. I set a custom variable in the tasksequence which set DoCapture=Yes. This allowed me to Capture the Operating system after the windows
    updates were done without having to do any additional steps. I then imported the Image into the operating systems section of my MDT Deployment share, and incorporated it into my previous Tasksequence.
    I have also noticed that the size of the wim file I created is about 1.5 gigs larger than my previous wim.
    Steps I've Taken for remediation:
    I've tried rebuilding my boot.wim several times.
    Increased the scratch size from 32 -> 64 -> 256 -> 512MB  
    Removed unnecessary drivers from the boot.wim
    Any ideas you guys might have with regard to getting my Install Operating System phase to speed up to normal speeds with be greatly appreciated.  Is there an extra step with the install.wim that I importing into MDT that I should be doing?

    I completed a robocopy in the full blown OS to download the 4.9g wim, it takes 1 minute and 36 seconds.  It does have gigabit connection active in the full blown os.
    When I am running WinPE, Task Manager is showing my local area connection is running at 1Gbps.
    Another discrepancy I'm noticing is that @ 12:16:04 [Line1801] the task sequence finishes apply the wim.  It takes 10 minutes for it to start the next task found on Line 1807.  Any Ideas on why it taking so long to apply the  bootsect.exe
    command?
    I did disable the "Apply Patches" task, and it did remove 20 minutes by not applying those patches.  Thank you for that suggestion.

  • How to install Essbase on your laptop from the Oracle Download site

    Hello everyone,
    I am attempting to install the download version of Essbase on my laptop from the Oracle site. I have downloaded the following Essbase-11113 part 1, Essbase-11113 part 2, and APS-11113 part 3. However I am at a loss as to what to do next. I didn't see any executible files in the downloads all I see are xml documents and .dat files so I am completely lost as to how to install the system and get a working copy of Essbase running. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    EC

    I too have it installed on a VM -- Windows 2003 -- and it's a 32 bit OS. If you do want to move it to your real desktop, you'll need a bunch of directories and environment variables from your successful 32 bit install to make it work, even for the client. I think XP should be okay for just Essbase and maybe EAS. You can always install Excel on the VM as well and just keep it entirely self-contained.
    SmartView on 64 bit, if you're using Excel 2007, is a non starter; it does work with Excel 2003 and I think it's slated for a fix in 11.1.2.
    If you're as hopeless as I am when it comes to installations, make sure you take plenty of snapshots so you can roll back to the last working instance. I did the whole stack on my VM, so I had lots of things to get wrong.
    I think those who know what they're doing when it comes to installs don't see it as a challenge -- I'm a developer, not an installer, so I found it it be be gruesome (the full stack, 64 bit Essbase on the real iron).
    Good luck.
    Regards,
    Cameron Lackpour
    P.S. Just to show that when it's all certified, it works, I was able to install AppliedOLAP's client (okay, Tim was watching over my shoulder, but still) on my Vista 64 bit without any trouble whatsoever. It worked like a charm.

  • Re-install operating system on Compaq NC6400

    Must I use an external DVD optical drive to recover/re-install operating system on Compaq NC6400? If an external drive is required, is it possible to use an external hard drive? And, will a simple copying the files off of the CD and onto the hard drive work as the transfer?

    Hi:
    As far as I know you need to install using a CD/DVD drive. I would suggest if your CD/DVD drive doesn't work, you can use an external one.
    I don't think you can copy the CD and to an external HDD and boot from that to install.
