How to setup Recovery drive when upgrading Vista to Win 7.

I am preparing to do a clean install of Windows 7 onto a hard drive that shipped with Vista Home and the Recovery partition. I want to reuse the recovery tools along with Windows 7 in the recovery partition. I have the original recovery disks.
What steps do I need to do to replace the operating system on the recovery partition with Win 7 and retain all the other HP tools?
Thanks,
Luke

The short answer is NO as it only has Vista drivers. You should go to the WIndows 7 upgrade page to get more information on how to perform your upgrade. It will also tell you if your system is supported or not, and any precautions that need to be taken prior to performing the upgrade.
Whatever you do be sure to backup ALL of your date just in case.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

You can't switch languages in OS X programs, just in the OS itself. Insert the Leopard OS X disc, and choose your new preferred language when prompted.

How to install RAID driver in Windows Vista on Qosmio G35-Av600?

I have the Windows Vista Home Preminm Upgrade Pakage. When I start the insallation process, the setup asks for Toshiba Raid Driver. So I click in Load Driver button and choose the folder where the driver is in, as said on the guide, but the setup says that there is no driver found for this drive.
What is the reason and what is the solution?

Hi
Did you choose the right RAID driver???
It seems this Qosmio notebook was designed for the US market and therefore you should download the driver from the US page:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
There is RAID driver designed especially for the Vista. At this time its 1.10.0016 version.
Please note that you will have to extract this file before installing the RAID driver!!!

Help! DV7-1020US - "No emulation System Type 00" when upgrade Vista to WIndows 7

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade an HP DV7-1020us from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium. When the laptop reboots as part of the installation, I get a message:
0: No emulation system type 00
1: No emulation system type 00
I've seen similar problems posted, but with no responses.
Can anyone explain:
1) Why am I getting these messages when I boot the system, and
2) How to eliminate them?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
FYI, each time the laptop booted during the upgrade, it displayed those lines.
What I ended up doing is typing "0" (no Enter key, just "0") and then it'd boot through to Win7 for the next phase of the upgrade.
I was able to get through the Win7 upgrade process that way, and Win7 is now running on the laptop.
After completing the Win7 upgrade, I don't see those lines anymore when the laptop is booted. Not sure why.

Changing hard drive when upgrading from 10.3 to 10.4

When I finally upgraded the OS I decided to switch to a different drive that had a lot more room and I wanted to leave my 10.3.9 setup intact in case there was a problem and I had to go back. It didn't occur to me that my email ID files and bookmarks and my dock etc. etc. etc. would not follow. Is there any simple way (or even not so simple) to move that sort of thing. I've managed to get my keychains, email and bookmarks copied or moved but every time I try to open an app. it wants to open for the first time and wants passwords and it is a real pain in the u-know-what.

Easiest way is to erase the new HD, reinstall Tiger, and when you go through the Welcome menus is to use the Migration Assistant and transfer everything from the Panther installation. Second way is to clone the Panther onto the new HD and install Tiger on top of it using the upgrade previous version option. I'm assuming you just installed Tiger onto the new HD.

0x80070241 error when I try upgrade Vista to Win 7 Pro

Hi,
I've tried unsuccessfully to upgrade bootcamp Windows Vista to Windows 7 Pro 32 bits. I burned the ISO file and I always get the error : 0x80070241 unable to copy files... when I try to upgrade
I redownload the iso upgrade. Same result. I tried to run it from C:\, same result.
Any idea why?
Thanks in advance

Always better to use Windows Easy Transfer, then do a full clean install instead too.

How to replace finder blocks when upgrading old CMP descriptors?

Hi,
I have rather old (WL server 6?) descriptors in my hands. The weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar.xml follows the DTD from http://www.bea.com/servers/wls600/dtd/weblogic-rdbms11-persistence-600.dtd, which includes the finder definitions. I'd like to upgrade the description to follow this schema: http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/910/weblogic-rdbms20-persistence.xsd
Otherwise it's quite understandable, straight-forward work, but that schema no longer includes the finder definitions. My question is, with what and how I can replace the finder blocks in my description? Should I use the weblogic-query - type? Is there any documentation of how to change the finder definitions to that?
Here's an example of my finder block:
<finder> <finder-name>findByTestId</finder-name>
<finder-param>java.lang.Long</finder-param>
<finder-query><![CDATA[ (= test_id $0) ]]></finder-query>
</finder>
Any help or pointers to documentation would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Jani

Took a tip from your response, got it fixed. Here is what I found:
I did a command-i on Mail.app. The top left-hand corner icon in the command-i window was the same as what I had used to replace /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Resources/ApplicationIcon.icns, i.e., it was the desired replaced image, but the image in the "Preview"section of the command-i window was the same as the default image of the Hawk.
So I copied my version of the /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Resources/ApplicationIcon.icns to the Desktop of the affected account. I dragged that image onto the small image window in the upper left hand corner of the command-i window, pasting an identical image on top of what was already there. BUT, the image in the "Preview" field of the command-i window changed from the old default image to be the same as the desired replacement /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Resources/ApplicationIcon.icns image that I had copied to my Desktop.
Problem solved. Not sure where, in a unixy command line sense, the command-i Preview image lives within a user's account.
Weird that this was only an issue with user accounts that had been logged into and whose dock visibly displayed the Mail icon before I replaced it. User accounts whose dock never displayed the Mail icon until after I replaced it were no problem. Very strange. But, fixed. Hopefully, this bandaid will survive reboot

How to do recovery after my upgrade to Mountain Lion.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, I found that I couldn't access Apple Works 6 or my saved DVDs from work travels. Does anyone know how to fix this? It represents 10 years of work.

If you need AppleWorks then you are going to have to return to 10.6
The easiest way to do that is to restore the back you took before the upgrade
Pages can open AppleWorks text documents and Number can open AppleWorks spreadsheets

10.1.3.3 setup Java problem when upgrading from 10.1.3.2

Hi guys!
I have a problem with upgrade from 10.1.3.2 to 10.1.3.3 on Windows
The documentation is old what you can download! So I cannot find anything.
The Infrastructure Installation and Configuration Guide is for 10.1.3.2.1 and from april 2007
The Infrastructure Upgrade Guide goes from Siebel to OBI and from december 2006
The problem is
I have a fully functional 10.1.3.2 with all Java and everything.
When I start the server install I get the following error in a small window:
Java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: run Exeption in thread "main"
Where should I look? Should I uninstall the previous version?
Thanx,
Istvan

I had the same problem when I did the upgrade the very same day of the release. And the solution for me was to login using my battery. For some reason, GDM won't let me in if I'm plugged (I know it sounds crazy, but it works for me)
Best of luck

How long should it take when upgrading OS 10.6.4 to 10.6.5? It's been ****

How long has the update taken for you?
It has been about 7 hours so far. The window shows:
Software Update - Installing 5 items - running package scripts...
The progress bar is moving but it has not moved beyond about the 99% mark ... for about 5 hours now.
MACBOOK early 2008 black 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (Penryn), 4GB RAM, 120GB HD

I don't think I've ever been so frustrated with a computer than this project of reviving the MACBOOK (early 2008). But, I persevered and after 17 hours it finally finished and allowed me to register it.
So far so good. iWork and iLife are up and running. Repaired all the physical damage except for the optical drive - going to replace it with a second HD.
Now, maybe I can get some work done. Yipee!

HELP! HOW DO I KEEP LOGIC WHEN UPGRADING FROM TIGER TO SNOW LEOPARD!

So I use a later macbook but have another slightly older one (got it in 2007) that kinda kicked the bucket. I'm now able to use it again (with a new setup). I have Logic express (an older version) but the macbook is running that last version of tiger before leopard. I want to upgrade to snow leopard (which i've learned I can from tiger directly for the low price) but I don't want to lose logic since I payed for it and don't have the install discs anymore.
I don't mind getting rid of everything else but I want to keep the actual program on the comp and just run it in SL. What specifically do I have to do (as far as backing up and all that) to CLEANLY upgrade from tiger to SL but keep logic? I'll have an external HD by the time I'm ready so keep that in consideration.

I have never used Logic Express so I can't help you but if you to the Logic Express Forum and repost over there you might be able to find someone who knows about Logic Express to help you.
