How to restore saved image to my SAS drive

Hi all,
I'm sure this has been discussed before but I haven't found an applicable thread yet.
I have Windows 7 Pro on a Thinkstation S20 with a SAS drive (not a SATA drive). I am unable to restore my drive with my backup because the SAS drive is not detected. What is the solution for this? Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Solved!

Ok, I found this (from you, when you helped someone else) and it worked! Woohoo!
1. Download CDSAS09WS17.exe from the Lenovo site. For your case, I would download it again and start completely fresh. I downloaded directly to a USB key, and then ran the .exe from the key and extracted the contents to a folder on the key.
2. Boot your system to the win7 install disc, run through the prompts (make sure you're not choosing upgrade).
3. When you get to the drive selection screen, click "load driver".
4. Point windows to where you extraced the Marvell driver files on your key. Note that for 64 bit you should point it to the "amd64" folder. Click OK.
5. Allow windows to load the driver. Once it's done, it should come up with mv64xx.inf file. Make sure the "hide devices that are not compatible with this HW is checked". This way only a single driver should show. Click OK.
6. Let windows install the driver. Your drives should now be accessible.

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

Hi,
Here is a small example that does the same thing as your code i believe and will overwrite the opened image with the watermarked image. Perhaps you can arrange your code to follow these steps.
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Img As Bitmap
Private wmFont As New Font("Verdana", 32, FontStyle.Bold, GraphicsUnit.Pixel)
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

ofd.Filter = "Image Files|*.jpg;*.png;*.gif;*.bmp;|All Files (*.*)|*.*"
If ofd.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then

Hi,
It may be that you have inadvertantly wiped the Recovery Partition D when sanitising the drive, or it may have become corrupt. Either way, you best option is to reinstall the OS using recovery discs as these will also re-create the Recovery Partition on the HDD.
You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.

How to prevent saving images

Simple, you can't.
The internet is based off of the idea of downloading files from remote servers into your browser for viewing (file sharing). If they can see your image, they have already downloaded it to their computer. The final steps of making that temporary file a permanent addition to their hard drive are simple and unavoidable.
It would probably be much better (easier and less counter-intuitive for the end user) to examine "why" you are attempting to bar your viewers from saving the information your are presenting to them on your site and working on whether it actually makes sense to place that info on your site in the first place.
If you want to protect content from "random internet bad guys" consider password protecting it so only those users who are given the username and password can access it. That's definitely not the way to present normal online info, but would make sense for things like photography sites (showing customers proofs of photos before they decide on packages to purchase) or similar.
If password protection doesn't make sense for your site, the only way to keep viewers from copying your info is to keep it off the internet all together.

How to restore the OS when your hard drive fails...

So I recently bought a Y50-70 from Newegg. Being that I hate Windows 8/8.1 with a passion I made sure to find a laptop that runs Windows 7. Lucky for me (and one of the reasons I bought this laptop) is that I should be able to run Windows 8.1, 7, and Linux without problems. Woohoo.
I should note that this is my first Lenovo, so I'm not too privy to the intricacies of Lenovo products yet. I've been told to avoid them like the plague and I'm trying to prove that things aren't as bad as my friends say, but I'm rapidly deciding their wisdom should have been heeded.
Just like every time I buy a laptop, the first thing I do is make a direct sector-for-sector copy of the hard drive.
After that I booted up and made the "recovery disk" in Windows 8.1 just for future security. So 32GB thumbdrive is now dedicated for reinstalling Windows since the laptop comes with no recovery media.
Ok, so far so good.
Now, I blew away all of the partitions and installed Windows 7. It's not all peaches and cream and there's some problems. So I thought I'd go back to Windows 8.1 and see if these problems are software or hardware in nature.
So I pulled out my trusty USB stick, and lo and behold you can't actually reinstall the OS if you've deleted the recovery partition. I checked that box that says something about including a copy of the recovery partition, but you can't recover the OS even after doing that. Every time I get a message about the harddrive being locked or no image being present (I forget the exact error because I'm about 24 hours from demanding a full refund and mailing this thing back).
So, assuming I have Windows 8.1 fully installed, what is the proper method to backup the OS in a fashion that is restorable on something like a disk failure where you install a new blank hard disk and then need to do a recovery. Does this not exist for my laptop? I've always been told that the Windows 8.1 recovery disk creator was the solution, but it clearly isn't.
Anyone know the proper method for this scenario?

Hi,
Sorry to hear this hasn't worked out like it's supposed to. I've used recovery flash drives without problems, but have also seen that the "drive locked" problem does occur. I'm not sure that it's a Lenovo issue. Seems to be more a generic Windows restore problem that happens with some drive configurations.
That doesn't help you - I chimed in to say that if you haven't already, you might call support and explain your situation. I can't/don't speak for Lenovo, but when I've had recovery issues in the past with a new laptop they've provided the recovery media gratis.
(Apologies if I missed that you've already called...)

How to Hyperlink an image on the hard drive

We are converting to iMac from Windows and keep our photography business data in excel spreadsheets. Each image name links to an image on the PC hard drive. On the iMac in Numbers, I can link text in a cell to a webpage or an email but if I use the path to the location on the hard drive, it doesn't work. What I would like is to pop the image in Safari when I click the hyperlink in the Numbers cell. Example:
The iMac name is butterfly, the user is reniepoole and the path to the image is Documents/image.jpg. If I put file://butterfly/users/reniepoole/Documents/image.jpg into the address bar in Safari, it will render the image OK. If I use the same address as the URL when I try to insert the image as a hyperlink in a Numbers cell, it doesn't work. Does anyone know how to render the image in Safari from a link in Numbers?

Here is a script doing the trick.
--[SCRIPT openFileFromNumbers]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : openFileFromNumbers.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Sélectionner une cellule contenant un chemin d'accès à un fichier.
menu Scripts > Numbers > openFileFromNumbers
Le script ouvrira le fichier.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
(* à vérifier avec Snow Leopard *)
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
--=====
Save the script as Script : openFileFromNumbers.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Select a cell containing a link to a file.
menu Scripts > Numbers > openFileFromNumbers
The script will open the file.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

How to restore rejected images?

How do I restore images in Aperture that were accidently rejected during upload. I can not seem to re load either. They are in a folder but inactive

Assuming they were successfully imported: Filter the Browser for "Rejected". Select them. Change the rating to something else.
If they weren't successfully imported, import them.

No "install later" option in bootcamp? how to restore winclone image?, no "install later" option in bootcamp? how to restore winclone image?

I have created an image of my windows partition using winclone 2.2 and got an image out of it already. But the problem now is when I wanna start it up and create a new partition using bootcamp, there seem to be no "install later" option and I have to put the disk straight away. How can I restore the winclone image? Plesae help me I need it. Its really urgent. Any sort of help would me appreciated.i

From what I recall about Winclone, it requires you to have the destination partition already formatted (usually NTFS for Windows). To get that on a Mac, you would need to run the BootCamp Assistant, create the partition, then run the WIndows installed to get to the point of copying files to the new partition, then you can cancel the install. IIRC, the Windows install process doesn't commit the partition changes until you start to copy files to the new partition, so sopping any time before that may not leave your partition in the state you need for the restore anyway....

How to Restore disk image to smaller image?

Hi there;
Not entirely sure if this is where this question needs to be posted.
I'm in a little bit of a pickle. I purchased a Imac g5 1.6 ghz (2004) and want to install Leopard (10.5) on it.
I have a DMG copy of the installer but my problem was that the file is too large to be burned on a single layer DVD (i know I can burn it on a DL DVD, but I don't want to buy a pack of 5 DVD's and only need One). So I used disk utility and created a sparse image (8.7GB) and restore the DMG to that image. I stripped all the unneccessary files (languages and printer drivers). then I went back to create a 4.7 GB sparse disk image to restore the newly formatted DMG, but It still says that there is not enough space on the disk, when my Image is 4.7GB and the image is 4.45 GB.
My understanding is that even though i'm only using 4.45GB it still shows as the original 8.7GB.
I'm currently running OSX 10.7.4 (lion) on my macbook pro and disk utility wont let me complete the task I have at hand.
I'm new to this so could someone help me?

You can get
1. Snow Leopard - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
2. Mountain Lion - http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion

[SOLVED] How to restore kernel image after wrong /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

I wanted to learn a bit more about the kernel and boot, and I'm afraid I cannot start up my ArchLinux anymore.
I updated the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to make the boot faster (with this reference: http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/01/30 … initcpio/) and executed #mkinitcpio -p kernel26
I thought that if there was any problem, I could start up with the "fallback image". Certainly, there was a problem (probably I didn´t loaded all the modules required) and when I tried the fallback image, I experimented the same problem:
Root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/...' doesn´t exist
ramfs$
In fact, both images are the same (or at least they have the same size)
I tried the ArchLinux liveCD to recover my system. There's no recovery service, so I started up the CD-ROM, mounted my ArchLinux partitions, generated the images and copied into the /boot of my Archlinux partitions. But the same problem is still there.
What could I do to fix it?
Thank you in advance

Thank you. I follow your instructions and it worked (perhaps it would be simpler with a "#pacman -Sy kernel26"). I didn't know the command chroot and it's really interesting.

How to restore playlists and ratings after hard drive format

Several people have reported problems restoring paylists and ratings after reformating a hard drive. Here is what worked for me and what did not.
I had to reformat my hard drive. Before doing that I exported my playlists from itunes to another hard drive as an xml file. I also copied the folder with all my songs to another drive. (Also of course had it backed up on DVDs.)Then I copied the itunes library files (see url http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732) to anoher drive.
After reformating my hard drive and installing the lastest verion of ITunes, I copied the actual songs back into a subfolder in my music folder. I then told iTunes to import the subfolder with the actual music. That resulted in a restored library that lacked playlists and ratings.
Don't do this
I purchased Anapod ($30.00) because its web page said (http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/):
"Anapod CopyGear is an easy-to-use, compact utility for copying music tracks, playlists, podcasts, photos, and videos from your iPod back to your PC."
Well, I did transfer 104 playlists back to my iTunes library through the Anapod backup function. However, the transfer also put more than 20 gigs of duplicate songs into the library. All of the songs listed in the playlists were duplicated in iTunes. I could find no way in Anapod to simply copy the ratings and the playlists. Anapod documentation was outdated. For example the online help pages said that playlists could not be backed up. This was confusing because I had just done that.
"In a future release we will be adding the ability to backup your iPod playlists. This will allow you to generate backup files of your iPod playlists on the computer. These files will not be usable on your computer though. They can only be used to restore playlists at a later time on your iPod (assuming it still carries all the audio files referred to in that playlist)." This text is from url http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/support/tome/tx2pc.php#5.1.2
I sent requests to Anapod for help today, but they have not been answered yet. Docs truly did not seem to help. Would have been good if there was a pdf file rather than just an online help html file that seemed outdated.
This worked for me:
I ended up having iTunes wipe out the entire library because of all the dups Anapod made. (Made sure that iTunes only wiped out library and did not delete actual songs from hard drive. Then I had iTunes import my subfolder with songs again. That brought me back to where I was before wasting money and much time on Anapod.
After I had my iTunes library up (without ratings and playlists and after finding Anapod did not meet my needs.
1. I imported the xml file to which I had exported playlists before reformating hard drive. That gave me the playlists back although an error message said some items not copied because the music tracks listed in playlists were not in my iTunes library. --Possibly I deleted songs after playlists were downloaded some time ago to iPod. Importing the xml file is probably not necessary because of what I did below.
2. Quit iTunes
3. Because my song ratings were still missing, I then moved the iTunes library files made by the new version of iTunes into a different folder.
4. Then I put my old version 4 library files into the place where the library files should be.
5. Then I crossed my fingers and restarted iTunes. It took awhile to start and said it was updating my library files. Now I have back most or all of my playlists and ratings.
If problems develop, I will probably wipe out iTunes library and use Anapod to move everything from my iPod into a folder and tell iTunes to import that folder. That approach might avoid the dups that Anapod makes when restoring playlists to iTunes.
So my message is keep your actual songs backed up somewhere (such as DVD's and anotehr hard drive) and keep a duplicate copy of your library files somewhere not on your hard drive. With these items you should be able to restore iTunes library to its former status.
Sorry for the length of this message. Hope it helps someone.

The simple version of above:
iTunes Files to Backup (anytime you make additions or changes to the Music or Library that you want to retain)
1) All music files in their current folder structure (usually located in and under the ‘iTunes Music’ folder)
2) The Library database file: ‘iTunes Library.itl’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
3) The Library XML file: ‘iTunes Music Library.xml’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
4) Any XML playlist files created for Playlist retention
5) The two iTunes.pref files (optional)
-- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
-- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref
6) The XML file of Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attributes saved from the main Library and created by Otto’s SaveRatings script (also optional, but recommended):
“Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/SaveRatings.zip . It's a program, just run it like any other program. Run it on the machine where you're copying the info from BEFORE you move the files to the new machine. Click the "Save Ratings" button and it'll create a ratings.xml file. Now when you move the files, move the program and this file as well. Then after you make your new iTunes library, run it again and click the "Restore Ratings" button. Voila, all your information is back in the Library. Well, most of it anyway, it's not perfect. It'll tell you what songs it couldn't figure out though, and there's usually not very many.”

Migration assistant asks for a password to the hard drive, which I don't know. The person in my family who bought the drive entered it, but then migration asssistant greys out continue and nothing seems to happen
I opened the hard drive myself and there's a bunch of blank files named 01 349 049 984 and such. No extension.
Help?

The exhaustive list of backup devices supported by Time Machine consists of Time Capsule and locally connected and mounted volumes, period. Time Machine can use NAS devices, but there are many caveats including but not limited to the necessity for AFP to be running on the server. Wireless storage devices introduce yet another element of uncertainty.

Anything else, and you're a test pilot. Let Apple know how it works for you.
