How to install or set up???

I downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements. 2 folders were created. One titled "32bit PhotoshopElem 13" and the other "PSE 13". What now? Typically an installer would start up, but it hasn't done anything. If I click through the folders, I see a setup file and an install file, but these only open my web browser and list a few lines of code. I have been waiting for someone to respond on chat for over half an hour. Please help!

Hi lindseyhadfield
From Where did you download the Setup?
What OS are you using? Windows 7 or Windows 8?
Try Downloading it again and then try..

  • How to install and set up SAP BW 7.0

    I have already worked against SAP BW 3.5/3.1 server with SAP DPA for a while. Now I would like install and setup the BW server by myself. How could I get the installation for BW 7.0? Is it part of NetWeaver 2004s? What is the general steps to install BW 7?
    Thanks

    Hi Zhang,
    Yes. It is part of NW2004s. So when you install NW2004s you can select the BI Component. Make sure you select both the BI ABAP and Java stack. Also remember to install the BI content after this. The BI 7.0 has a separate frontend so install that too. Make sure all the frontend and backend are on the same patch level.
    You can find all the set-ups and patches at http://service.sap.com/swdc.

  • How to install and set printer paper and tray automatically via script or batch file

    Hi,
    Our firm using HP Printers and we need to deploy printer in Citrix Environment where setting does not save to the Base PC Image.
    Because our Environment is Citrix (User Settings and Printer are deployed when user login).
    Can we build the setting into the Base PC Image for All users?
    Printer get install when using login.
    Problem that I am encounter right now are:
    1. How to correctly identify all tray from each printer.
    2. How to set all paper tray to A4
    I am currently using Powershell Script to install printers during login, all the printer driver has been installed to the Base PC Image.
    But the trouble I have is when the script run to completion.
    It only added the printer.
    I've been googling, but I can't find a way to detect printer tray or how to set all the tray to A4.
    I don't mind using any type of script/batch file or even program.
    Any of the following language is C#, VB.NET, powershell, vbscript or Event Access to HP API ?
    Our Environment:
    Windows 7 x32 SP1

    Most of those printers are commercial grade printers.  It would be best to post in the commercial LaserJet forums.

  • Joomla! on OS X: How to install and set up?

    Hi All,
    I am wanting to install/set up Joomla! on my PowerBook, and can't seem to find any clear, concise information on how this is done. What I want to do is set it up on my local machine, build a site using Joomla! and test it locally, then eventually publish it to a remote server.
    I'm not too experienced in web design/development so I don't know much - bear with me. Would anyone here mind breaking it down as step-by-step as possible?
    What do I need to download, what needs to be installed; where. If there are any Command Line commands, could you walk me through them?
    I do/did check out the Joomla! forums but no one seems to be able to provide a clear answer (or perhaps are more PeeCee oriented and don't feel confident in guiding a Mac user?).
    Thanks for your patience and time, I hope this isn't asking too much.

    Hi, M.
    1. Your question belongs on the Joomla Installation Forum. I presume you've read their Installation Guide which, in the typical fashion of Open Source projects, is rather terse and geared to either Linux or Windows users.
    You said you "did check out" their forums, but have you tried posting this question on their forums? I'd suggest that and, if you don't get an adequate response, then perhaps you'd be better served by using a different product.
    I don't mean to send you somewhere else, but you should be able to find help from Mac OS X users who've installed Joomla on their Installation Forum.
    2. You wrote: "I'm not too experienced in web design/development..."IMO, Joomla is not a product for you to begin with.
    You can try the following apps for free:
    - Site Studio It's only US$30.00 to purchase. It's designed for coding in HTML.
    - Freeway Express. It's US$89 to purchase and takes a graphical approach to Web design. <a href="http://www.softpress.com/products/freewayprointerf.php"">Freeway Pro</a> offers more functions, but Express may be enough if you're just starting and, if memory serves, you can upgrade from Express to Pro.
    If you are a student, you can get pro-level Web Design apps such as <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/golive/main.html">Adobe GoLive CS2 and Dreamweaver at deep educational discounts, e.g. US$100 or less.
    Good luck!

  • How to install a set of mixed clustering exchange server (Coexistence between 2007 CCR cluster with 2010 DAG or 2013 DAG)

    I need a mixed clustering environment that coexist 2007 CCR cluter with 2010 DAG or 2013 DAG.
    Is there any step-by-step article I can refer to?

    Hi,
    Do you want to know how to migrate CCR to DAG?
    If you want to migrate from CCR to DAG, there are two available ways to achieve this.
    One is to bring the new hardware, the other is to break and format the existing Exchange 2007 CCR Cluster to use the hardware.
    Bring the new hardware, you need to install new server and configure Exchange 2010 DAG, then move mailbox from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010.
    Breaking the existing Exchange 2007 CCR Cluster, you need to decommission your passive Exchange Server 2007 SP2 Node first, re-install Exchange 2010 server role on this server, and then configure Exchange 2010 DAG using this server. After that, you
    can migrate mailboxes from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, remove the last Exchange 2007 server. Then add seond server to existing DAG.
    Hope this is helpful to you.

  • How to instal/set UWL in order to test WF functionality also on test system

    I am replacing colleague who is on hollydays.
    I am pritty new in EP area. We have integrated ESS functionality with some approval workflows.
    WF guy told me I have to maintain the UWL on test system as this one can not communicate with test backend system.
    So far I created iviews with SAP transactions(and one with URL), page workset and a test role on an brand new system enironment consisting of an ides ecc on an freshly installed  EP system.
    On old  test EP I am very confused (maybe because of  ESS package). Other confusing thing is that on this EP system I can not add e.g an i.view(there  I can not  as "No templates to display. You are not assigned to any existing templates.").
    So my question would be :
    1.How to instal/set UWL (so that workflows can be tested on test environment i.e. old test system with ESS package  in connection with backend
    2.How could I get reed of "No templates to display. You are not assigned to any existing templates." message(espetially if this has any impact on qustion 1.)

  • How to install / activate 'Yard Management' and BC sets

    Hi everyone
    I've been asked to look into how to install/activate
    'Yard Management' for business warehouse. From what I've found so far online/in SDN forums, it looks like you need to activate it under Logistics Execution in SPRO. But it's not there... so looks like I need to install the necessary 'BC sets' ??
    I've found a spreadsheet for 'W70 Yard management' with some
    technical names for these BC sets, like
    /SMB30/LYYRD_V_B031_D70, /SMB30/T30B_V_B032_D70 etc.
    Any idea what these are / whether and where you can get them
    (downloadable from SAP??) what transaction you use etc???
    Thanks!

    It seems we need this on a 4.7 SAP system, whereas this other docs/installing via Best Practices seems to be for ECC5 onwards... any ideas anyone?

    You should activate 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN (and all necessary objects).  Use this as starting point for customizing your own template.  Then use SPRO transaction RSCUSTV27 to change fields "Broadcasting" and "Ad Hoc Analysis" to your customized templates.
    Activate and customize 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCAST_PDF if you need to broadcast PDF's.  There's no place SPRO that I know of where you can configure this to use a custom template.
    You don't need 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING70.  It's labeled 70 but in fact it's a 3.5 web template.

  • How to install Ciscom Connect after setting up the devise

    I have set up my router E1200 v2 with the disc after the direction through live chat as I received error code. Now my router works well but I don't have Ciscom Connect software in my program. I downloaded it from the site and saved it in my folder as an application. Now, how I can install it? As it is 'set up software', when I make it run, it tries to set up but the router has already been set up so it can't complete the setting-up then no software is saved as a program nor no 'ciscom' file is created.
    The software I downloaded was not the right one?
    I can enter Ciscom Connect page as I know the address for directly connection but still I would like to have one as a program which allow me to go to the CC easily.

  • How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit

    How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit
    I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems.  When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell.  I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box.  During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations.  There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb.  After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.
    I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation.  I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine.  BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true.  Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box.  After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging.  Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.
    From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer.  The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe!  By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost.  Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded.  At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation. 
    PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS
    Back Up SBS
    It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes.  Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason.  Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone.  You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore.  Here are the basic steps:
    Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools.  Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
    Choose the “Custom” radio button.  What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
    Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others.  Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
    Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups.  You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images.  Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency.  Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
    Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3rd party backup product.  If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
    Confirm everything and click “Backup”.  This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.
    Verify ISAPI Filters:
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
    In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS.  If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:
    IsapiFilterModule              %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
    IsapiModule                        %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll
    If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).
    Set Up Development Environment
    Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\).  For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
    Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory.  This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders. 
    Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane.  Expand the “Sites” folder.  Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
    Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”).  You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name.  NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
    Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
    Don’t worry about testing the connection.  If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV).  Don’t worry about this for the time being.
    Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”).  Click “OK”.
    Configure Application Pools for Installation
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
    In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
    Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”.  NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.
    Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness
    Click: Start > Programs > Accessories.  Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
    Do a search and change this one line from:
    <add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />
    To this:
    <add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
    Restart the IIS Admin service.
    Set HTTP Compression
    According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:
    Click: Start > Programs > Accessories.  Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
    Run the following command:
    C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
    This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
    Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Restart the IIS Admin service.  This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
    NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:
    C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']
    INSTALLATION TASKS
    Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
    Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
    Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
    If you have an Enterprise license, enter it.  For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
    Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
    I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”.  It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation.  My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
    Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
    THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS.  Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button.  Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”.  Hit “OK”.
    Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”).  Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”).  The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
    Enter an Administrator password.
    Choose to Enable RDS, or not.  I enable this by preference but it is not required.  This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely.  Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
    Confirm everything to kick off the install.
    If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful.  I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install.  NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks.  The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.
    POST-INSTALLATION TASKS
    Verify CF Installation:
    The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8.  The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory.  Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
    To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
    This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen.  Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
    Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).
    Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:
    At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly.  The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start.  Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
    In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
    Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time.  This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.).  There is no need to restart IIS.
    Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
    In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”).  In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”.  Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
    Lastly, jump up and down for joy!  Hopefully now, everything is working.  Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).

    First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
    Second, this is probably your problem right here:
    http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
    In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
    As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.

  • Adobe Bridge in Photoshop - How to install Bridge and camera raw? And what is it all about?

    Hi everyone! I am actually in love with this adobe photoshop. I used PSCS2 before, but later on upgraded to CS4. But I feel tired in upgrading to CS5.
    One time, I found a tutorial in youtube about camera raw, and would really want to use it. But I was wondering how to install the camera raw. I believe camera raw is a plugin? so I downloaded the plugin here, installed it in my PS. I downloaded a file Camera Raw.8bi and paste it on my C drive - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats.
    I now am very confused, how will I open it? I do not have adobe bridge!  After I installed the camera raw, I opened my PS. I clicked the file>then browse in bridge. I had an error, it's "error 2 photoshop11 undefined". Which is what I thought, I might have done something wrong with installing it.
    My question is, do you still need adobe bridge installed in order to use camera raw?
    If yes, how does it work? How am I suppose to open camera raw?
    If no, how am I going to open camera raw without bridge?
    And also, where will I download adobe bridge? I cannot find one here for CS4, only adobe bridge for CS5. I am wondering, is it okay to install adobe bridge CS5 and use it with my PS CS4?
    I badly need help!

    WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a set of extensions to HTTP/1.1.
    The main difference from FTP as far as I can see is that it allows you to edit documents on a remote web server.
    WebDAV was used by the Apple server - MobileMe but is not generally supported by hosting services.
    Using WebDAV you can mount a directory locally. This was how iDisk worked on your Mac and you could drag files onto it to upload them to the remote directory.
    With WebDAV, a number of users can share a directory which is why its used in local networks but presents security problems when using a remote server.
    If you are into file sharing rather than publishing, Dropbox or its new rival SugarSync are more appropriate.

  • How to install Windows 7/Vista as 2nd OS and retain predesktop environment (service partition)

    This is a step-by-step instruction how to install Windows Vista or Windows 7 as a second OS on a Lenovo Thinkpad that originally shipped with Windows XP AND how to retain the access to the Lenovo Service Partition.
    I have been searching the internet for instructions like these but could not find anything useful. So I am posting it
    here. Maybe this helps other users.
    I have tested the procedure below with installation of Windows Vista Ultimate (64bit) and Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit). I believe that the procedure will also work with the 32bit versions of these OSs. I am not totally convinced that this works when the OS to install is Windows XP (64bit or 32bit). XP has a completely different boot sequence compared to Vista or 7. The basic steps would remain the same, but the XP setup is less forgiving when it finds an unknown partition. If somebody wants to try it out, please post your results as a reply to this forum entry.
    Never never never try to install an older OS (like Windows 2000 or NT) as a second OS when XP is already installed! This is doomed to fail.
    The procedure below does NOT work for Linux installations. I am not a Linux wizard, but any Linux bootmanager I know about is incompatible with the Lenovo Service Partition.
    The procedure was tested on a Thinkpad R61 model 8918-B9G. It should work similar on other models.
    You definitely need a service partition with Rescue&Recovery version 4. It will NOT work with older versions of R&R or if the service partition is not a type12 partition (see below how to find out about that).
    I assume that the harddisk partitions are unmodified, i.e. still have factory settings. This is likely the case if you
    never attempted any OS install or recovery action. If this is not the case, the procedure may or may not work.
    You also need a bootable CD with a tool that can change the size of your current system partition. I was using gparted live version 0.5.2-9. ( http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ )
    Everything you do is at your own risk. I am in no way related to Lenovo, other than being a customer using their
    products.
    Step 1) Make a full backup of your harddisk. Get yourself recovery CDs for your Thinkpad model if you don't have any. The changes we are about to make can completely screw up your harddrive. A typo is sufficient for that to happen.
    Step 2) Power on the system. Check that you can boot into the Service Partition by pressing the Thinkvantage button when the startup screen appears. (Older systems may have a differently named button.) If there is a problem booting the service partition now, it is likely that the rest of this procedure will not fix it.
    Step 3) From the service partition choose 'Warmstart' to reboot the system. Reboot Windows XP, logon.
    Open a command prompt. CD to the following directory:
    \Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo\BMGR
    On a german language system (like mine) it is
    \Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR
    If you have an older IBM system the directory may be named
    \Program Files\Common Files\IBM\BMGR
    or something like that. Maybe you need to search around.
    In the following, I will call this the "BMGR dir".
    Enter the following command:
    bmgr32 /info /v
    You should get an output similar to this:
    C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR>bmgr32 /info /v

    The important thing to look for is the 0x12 partition type in the partition table at the bottom. This is the service
    partition. If you do not have a 0x12 partition, then you can stop here because the rest of the procedure will not work
    for you.
    Step 4) Shutdown and boot gparted from CD. Shrink the system partition to the desired size. Do NOT touch the service partition! Do NOT attempt to create another partition! Leave the new white space on the disk untouched! Apply changes and restart the system.
    Step 5) Reboot XP. gparted has set the NTFS dirty bit. This will cause XP to run a full CHKDSK. Depending on how much files there are on the partition this may take considerable time. Let CHKDSK run to completion. When CHKDSK finishes, the system will automatically reboot.
    Step 6) XP reboots now. Logon. When loading the desktop, XP will show a popup window, stating that system settings have been changed and new devices been discovered and that the system should be rebooted. This is ok. XP actually recognized the shrunk system partition and applied the necessary changes to its own system parameters. Click YES to reboot the system.
    Step 7) XP reboots. Logon. Open a command prompt, CD to the BMGR dir and enter:
    bmgr32 /info /v
    The output you get should be similar to the output you have seen in step 3, except that the partition 0 size column
    shows a smaller value.
    Step 8) Shutdown, restart. Check that you can still access the service partition by pressing the blue Thinkvantage button when the system startup screen appears.
    Step 9) From the predesktop environment choose warmstart. Reboot XP. Logon, logoff, shutdown.
    DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!!! If you start the Windows Vista/7 install right after shutting down from the predesktop
    environment, the Win Vista/7 setup program will screw up your harddisk! The Lenovo MBR bootmgr reboot takes two steps for completion. The first step is the shutdown and the second step is executed when booting from harddisk. A boot from the Windows CD will skip this second step and disaster finds its way...
    Step 10) Insert the Windows Vista/7 DVD and boot it. Start the setup. Choose "Custom (advanced)" install. It will show the partitions on the disk. Select the white space (unallocated). Click on "disk options (advanced)". Click on "New" to create a new partition in the white space. Keep the default size, click "Apply". Click "Format". A popup window appears stating that the partition may hold OEM data. Continue. Click "Next". Installation starts.
    Continued in the second post...

    Step 11) Win Vista/XP will reboot several times during installation. You will always see the Windows bootmanager with an entry for "Earlier Windows version" and "Windows Vista/7". DO NOT DARE to touch the blue Thinkvantage button on any reboot or press any function keys!
    Step 12) When the installation is finished, check that you can successfully reboot Win Vista/7 by selecting it from the Windows bootmanager.
    Step 13) Reboot XP by choosing "Earlier Windows version" from the Windows bootmanager. Open a command prompt. CD to the BMGR dir. Enter the following command:
    bmgr32 /info /v
    The output will now look like this:
    C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR>bmgr32 /info /v

    startLBA and size will of course differ, depending on the actual partition sizes you have set. Note that Windows setup moved the service partition to entry 2 of the partition table. If you do not see the 0x12 partition then stop here.
    Otherwise the following step will likely screw up you harddisk.
    Enter the following command (case sensitive?):
    bmgr32 /Fbootmgr.bin /m0 /IBM /v
    The output will look like this:

    So you have actually regained the Lenovo bootmanager. But you are not done yet.
    Step 14) Shutdown. Restart the system. DO NOT PRESS THE BLUE THINKVANTAGE BUTTON AT THE SYSTEM STARTUP SCREEN!!! IT DOES NOT WORK YET! When the system startup screen DISAPPEARS, quickly press F11 (maybe several times). The system should now boot the predesktop environment from the service partition.
    Step 15) When the predesktop is there, choose "warmstart". When the system startup screen appears, press the blue Thinkvantage button. The system should again boot into the predesktop. The blue Thinkvantage button now works permanently.
    Step 16) Check that you can boot Win XP and Win Vista/7 from the Windows bootmanager. You're done!
