How to make the RESCUE AND RECOVERY hidden partition when changing the hard disk drive

I've got T61 and I'd like to know if is it possible (in case of changing the HDD) to make the RESCUE AND RECOVERY hidden partition  on the new hard disk drive? If yes - please let me know how to do that.

hi you the rescue partition is made automatically when you use your recovery cd's on the new HDD so no problem there!
Cheers and regards,

  • How to make the hard disk visible in a new admin account?

    I created a new admin account, in order (hopefully) to solve some problems that I've been having with SPSS21 for Mac.  But when I log on as a new admin account, my hard disk no longer appears on the desktop.  It (and all the folders and files in it) are still accessible by clicking on the hard disk in the path bar in a folder, but it's annoying not to have the icon on the hard disk.  I don't know why the icon for the hard disk does not appear on the desktop.  Does anyone know why, and how to make it appear?  Thanks.

    Oh, my god!  I'm so embarrassed that I couldn't figure this out myself, after being a devoted Mac user for three decades!  It's so obvious!  Thank you so much!

  • Rescue and Recovery Hidden Partition

    Hi all! I hold a TC A50 and there's issue with it regarding the RnR hidden partition!
    The Hidden Partition is now not hidden in Windows even I selected to hide such drive in BIOS before building the partition by Recovery CDs.
    I called PC HelpCentre previously and see if it is the problem with my set of CDs (I used this set of CDs several times before this issue appears). And they refused to send me another set. Anyway, I just want to know if some ppl that has insight into how Hidden Partition Works can help in turning my machine really back to the Original Factory Stage! Thanks!

  • Copying OSX and Win XP partitions to a new hard disk drive

    Hi guys. I just upgraded my MBP to a new 160GB Hitachi HDD (from 100GB) but got stucked in copying/cloning Windows XP partition. I tried SuperDuper but it can only copy Mac partitions.(successfully and its currently running) Win XP partition cannot be recognized. I'm connecting the old drive in USB.
    Has anyone done this without going through the hassle of running (again) BootCamp, reinstalling Win XP and its related apps?
    Any thoughts/comments greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    You might try using the Restore option of Disk Utility. Basic procedure is:
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the source volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4. Drag the source volume to the Source entry field.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Of course you will need to have the new hard drive pre-setup with a Windows partition equal to or larger than the source partition.
    Alternatively, you can boot into Windows with the new drive (already partitioned) and use Window's backup program to backup to the new drive.

  • How to make the CD/DVD drive compatible on Satellite 5000-204

    Hi all,
    I see a thread on replacing CD/DVD drive on this notebook, but it was closed, so i write this post.
    The most of recent unit is "cable select" type and will not be recognized from many Toshiba notebook.
    To solve that you must search a drive for which you can found a firmware update that change it to be "reverse cable select" type, as Nec or Optiarc
    If you buy a drive that can't be recognize (like me) read below.
    I succesfully replaced the DVD-ROM/CD-RW unit with a Pioneer DVR-KD08 DVD writer.
    This unit is a "cable select" type (as most other recent unit) so it can't be recognise by this notebook (and many other Toshiba models). The solution is to connect pin 45 and 47 together on the drive or on the connector adapter (this second solution is simpler).
    If you watch the drive from behind these pins are the second and third from the left on the upper row of pin of the connector.
    In the connector adapter it's simpler to connect these pin (with care) with a solder iron directly on the circuit board.
    Obviously on the circuit board the pins are the second and third from the right.
    After this the unit will recognize ok.

    Hi buddy
    First of all thank you for participation in the forum its always nice to have users who shares the own experience and knowledge.
    Thanks you also for this info how to make the CD/DVD drive compatible.
    But to be honest Im a little bit skeptical because there is a chance that the drive could be damage during this procedure.
    So everyone could do this but only at the own risk!!!
    Usually the compatible drives can be found in the user manual and it would be useful taking a look into the user manual before buying an NOT compatible drive ;)
    Cheers mate

  • How to upgrade the hard disk of the nomad jukebox

    I read the FAQ of nomad on nomadness.net, I wanna know how to upgrade the hard disk of old nomad jukebox with a bigger one?
    I also read a artical on tom's hardware about this,
    http://www7.tomshardware.com/mobile/20000/mp3-3.html
    but he gave a link
    http://www.kuren.org/jukebox
    that is not available. He mentioned that it need to clone the fist 65536 sectors from the old disk to the new one, but I have not the old hard disk( I bought a second hand nomad jukebox without the original hard disk). How should I do?
    Does someone have the image file of the fist 65536 sectors from the old disk?
    Thank you!

    That was the old method before Creative published their Bootcode Flasher software.
    Follow the instructions here:
    http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php...ticle&artid=24
    All files mentioned are available somewhere on Nomadness. Also check out the sticky thread in their JB section of the forum as it lists what hard dri'ves will work in a JB and which ones won't. I hope you haven't already bought your upgrade hard dri've.
    I used the above method without any problems and now have a 20GB JB.

    Please do let me know any knows how to read the hard disk unique number provided by manufactruer using java library

  • How does one SUCCESSFULLY transfer Time-Machine backup to a new (larger) hard disk drive using OSX 10.5.8

    I have read a number of articles about how to transfer a complete Time-Machine backup to a new (larger) hard disk-drive.  Some of these articles are specifically for OSX10.6 users, which are not applicable to me since I am operating with OSX 10.5.8.
    However, I have tried several times to use the Disk Utility 'Restore' function, dragging my old time-machine volume into the 'Source:' box and my new volume into the 'Destination:' box.  This works, of sorts, BUT the newly created volume on the new larger hard disk-drive remains the same size as the original volume on the old Time-Machine HDD, with no apparent way of increasing the new volume's size.  So I am not really any better off:
    E.g. the total capacity of my new HDD is stated by 'Disk Utility' to be 465.8 GB, of which I'm told 228.2 GB is used for the Backups.backdb folder, but only 4.6 GB of free space is actually available.  Yet under the 'Partition' tab of 'Disk Utility' it tells me that there is still 236.4 GB of available space.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this issue without upgrading to OSX 10.6?

    First, how did you prepare your new drive?  See:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.  If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    If you plan to partition this new drive then be sure you create a larger partition for TM than your old volume.
    Next, clone your old TM volume:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • Increase the hard disk drive capacity on a MacBook Air

    is it possible to increase the hard disk drive capacity from 64 to 128 G? How do I do it?

    It would appear Apple does not intend for you to do it.
    It might be possible, if expensive.
    I would consider an external drive.

  • Rescue and Recovery: No backups available for "local hard drive" with Full Restore

    I can see all my backups in "view all backups" and can restore individual files, although when I select the option for "full restore", it reboots my PC and brings up the Rescue and Recovery interface which gives me the option for "full restore".  When I select "full restore", it asks me to select the source.
    As my backups are stored on my local hard drive, I select that source, however the scroll box is empty (no backups available for selection).
    Can anyone recommend a solution to fix this problem, or should I remove and re-install Rescue and Recovery, then create new backups (and hope they appear in the list for full restore)?
    I am running Rescue and Recovery 4.21.0016.00 on a Lenovo T61p with XP SP3.
    Thanks.
    Gary Grathen

    Also, I have RnR 4.00.0117.00.  
    Where do I find and how do I delete these massive files?

  • How do I fix Rescue and Recovery?

    My SL410 is new as of March 2010.  When Rescue Recovery starts up, it tells me that i need to give it more space.  I do, and then I am in a loop; it asks for more space and when I click OK the same window asking for more space is there.  Where do I go for help?  There is plenty of space on my hard drive and I can't find out who to call or online chat with.  I am running Windows 7 and IE 8 and Office 2007.  Just home use.  Thanks, Nancy
