I can not delete my recovery partition using HP recovery on win 7

Hi there,
as the title already says it, i can't delete my recovery partition using the HP software. I mean, there is such option like deleting it, but it is grey and i can not access it, i click and nothing happens. I already made my recovery flash drive and would like to get rid of the unnecessary taken disk space. Any sollutions?

Hi,
This assumes that Windows 7 was the original OS that your notebook came with.
If you created a set of Recovery Discs you can use these to reinstall the original OS - they will also re-create the Recovery Partition on the Hard Drive as well as reinstalling all your original software. Remember this is a destructive process, so back up any personal files etc that you wish to keep before reinstalling the Operating System.
If you don't have your original Recovery Discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00810334&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

Satellite A660-k17: Can I delete both primary partitions used for recovery?

Hello
I have 3 questions :) #
1 - I have burned a dvd copy of recovery media, on a A660 k17 laptop.There are two partitions on the disk which i believe are there for recovery.The first is 1,46 GB and says that it is for recovery and another hidden partition of 8,29 GB..and i suspect that the first one contains the recovery wizard and the whole enviroment into which one will get through system repair and the hidden disk contains the actuall data with windows,drivers and so on.Can i delete these both?Mainly i ask about the first,if it isnt necesary for the system to boot or something after i recover the laptop to factory setting.
2 - and i also want to leave my partitions so that i dont have to partition the entire 600 GB C drive again.I have a D drive created but there is this reply to a thread already in forum http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=64754&tstart=90
that says that when i leave the partitions i have created myself, than the recovery will not be available.I have a copy on dvd but only to be sure i dont mess something up.
3 - When i want a clean system without some of the software that was preloaded on the oem recovery disk.. i have to use windows recovery? or it will be the same as the toshiba one?
Thanks for possible reply :)
Nice day :)

Hello
Ill try to give some answers. ;)
1
First partition belongs to Win7 and it has nothing to do with Toshiba recovery image saved on HDD. This hidden partition is reserved for Toshiba recovery image. First partition should not be deleted. This small partition will be created before Windows installation starts. Leave it as it is.
Hidden partition should be there is you want to use HDD recovery installation but now when you have created recovery disc you can delete it and get more free space on HDD. If something goes wrong you can use created recovery disc for OS installation.
2
As I already wrote, when you have recovery disc you can do whatever you want but take care about this disc and place it on safe place.
3
Using created recovery disc you will have factory settings again and preinstalled OS as on the first day after purchase. If you want to have own OS installation you must use Microsoft installation disc.
If you have more questions you are welcome.

Can not delete cube or measure using AWM10.1.0.4

Hi all,
I can not delete a cube using AWM10.1.0.4 when the database is 10.1.0.4. But when the database is 10.1.0.3 with latest OLAP patch, there's no problem with deleting cubes. The following is the error I got when trying to delete a cube(any cube) or measure. Any suggests. Thanks inadvance
An error occurred deleting Cube FEM_DATA2_C.CUBE : ***Error Occured: Can not Delete Cube FEM_DATA2_C.CUBE. Can not Delete Measure FEM_DATA2_C.BUDGET.MEASURE. AW Object with Properties AW$CLASS EXTENSIONS AW$ROLE DEPENDENT_MEASURES does not exist.

And I find some time I create dimensions or cubes ,it can find in CWM2 catalog,but some time you create object in AWM10.1.0.4 by logic mode it
do not appear in CWM2 catalog.
In awm9 you can "enable olap to BI BEAN.." and this action will register
AW object to CWM2 catalog,but in awm10g I can not find this function.
Hey! give me an explain on it.

Can I delete the mac partition used to create the boot camp partition?

I am using Mac OS 10.9.5 on a late 2011 17" Macbook Pro.
I currently have an SSD in the primary drive slot with my primary Mac partition and an HDD in the Superdrive slot that has one unused Mac partition that I would like to delete and a Windows 8 partition that I would like to keep.
Can I delete the extra Mac partition on the HDD so I can use that as spare space? It was the Mac partition that was used to run Boot Camp and create the Windows 8 partition that is on the same drive so I am nervous that the Windows 8 partition needs to rely on that Mac partition to work for whatever reasons.
I recently went through a huge ordeal to create a Windows 8 Boot Camp partition as I wanted it on my computer. I had previously taken out the Superdrive and replaced it with a data doubler and the original hdd, and I had an aftermarket SSD in the primary drive bay. I had been using the SSD as my Mac partition and the HDD as spare storage space. For my Boot Camp config, I wanted to split the HDD into 2 partitions and make one Windows 8 and the other spare storage space while keeping the SSD dedicated to my Mac partition. Achieving that required removing the SSD, removing the data doubler, reinstalling the Superdrive, putting the original HDD back in the primary drive slot, installing and updating Mac OS on the HDD, using that Mac install to run Boot Camp and create a second partition for Windows 8, installing Windows from the Superdrive, and then putting everything back by taking out the Superdrive, putting the HDD back in the data doubler, and putting the SSD back in. Everything works now. Understandably I don't want to break anything and have to redo this process.
That said I do want to delete that extra Mac partition and use it as extra storage, if I can do so without breaking the Boot Camp Windows 8 partition.

Wrong advice. Do not use Disk Utility. Use Bootcamp Assistant to remove the Bootcamp partition and return the drive to a single OSx partition. Using Disk Utility will result in lost space, lost data, and possibly an unusable OSx partition. Read the Bootcamp help and user guides.

I have a Bootcamp partition on my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do?

I have a Bootcamp partition on my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout in Disk Utility is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do? I was trying to install Windows 8.1 but apparently, this is not yet possible.
I was originally able to restore to my original Mac OSX partition using Boot Camp Assistant but then after entering Disk Utility and re-RAIDing the default RAID 1 to RAID 0 in the BootCamp partition (I suspect this is the cause of the problem but why was it defaulted to RAID 1 in the first place?!!!!), forever afterwards, I couldn't restore the single OSX partition.
Whenever I used BootCamp Assistant my choice to 'Install or remove Windows 7 or later version' was greyed out. Finally I went to Disk Utility to repartition but the Macintosh HD and BootCamp disk partition functions were also greyed out (even if I started up from Recovery mode holding down option, command and 'R' and choosing Disk Utility). BootCamp Assistant gives the error message 'The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition' with additional small script 'The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows', and DU gives the error message 'The full size of the Fusion drive is not available for repartitioning'.
What can I do to fix this problem? How can I make the Partition Layout button active in DU so I can change the partition to all OSX? I'm prepared to wipe off all my data etc to repartition and have backed up all to disk using Time Machine.

My problem is fixed now, thank you. It was caused by my changing the Boot Camp partition's 'RAID1' to 'RAID0'. If I hadn't done that, Boot Camp would still have been able to 'restore' back to the one partition. It was fixed with the help of Applecare by using a terminal and typing a command to erase the IP of the Macintosh disk (not the volume) as well as the IP of the Bootcamp partition (if I remember correctly), but then I had to restore the OS and all my applications and data etc which I had previously backed up using Time Machine. I haven't taken note of the exact command terminology used. It would be wise to speak to Applecare about this if possible.
Two words of warning, 1. According to the cause of this problem, it might be wise, after reinstalling the ops system to reinstall all extra applications one by one, manually, in case a similar problem arises again. Then manually copy back all data. Or the Mac user could use the Time Machine backup and then uninstall all the added apps then re-install them one by one manually. 2. Beware as after all this the user might not have the 'Recovery partition'. There is a small recovery partition (a few 100 Mb is size) which comes with all later Macs. After all this is done this tiny partition might not be there anymore and the user might have to re-install Mavericks again to get it back, or just install the upcoming update of Mavericks due in a month or so.

The recovey drive. It keeps trying to start but shows error and can not delet it.

Photosmart D7460 wireless printer. is working fine. But can not turn off the the repair drive that was downloaded.

Hello bk1863,
I'm sorry to say that I'm confused by what you are trying to explain.
The recovery drive is giving an error. What error are you getting?
You can not delete the recovery drive so that is not something you want to do as it's what is used to recovery your computer in case you have to do a complete system recovery.
How does your printer play into this?
Turn off repair drive that was downloaded? Did you download software?
What model computer are you using?
What operating system?

You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
Here's how to do the recovery. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.

I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks. Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't help. The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.

I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks.
Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't rectify it either.
The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.
Also, I have noticed that every once in awhile you can not close tabs you've opened, either by pushing on the X button and/or clicking on the mouse to close it. Although closing the window and opening it again (without closing the Firefox application) seemed to rectify the problem in the short term, it's becoming quite annoying.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== the Firefox is being used

I think I have a solution.
First, download the add-on SQManager. This should be included with FireFox, it is really good.
Look for the file '''moz_hosts''' in the folder '''places.sqlite'''.
Don't delete the file, just delete the information in the file. My file has over 3600 websites, which go back years!! I did not know they were there, but I was frustrated about not being able to get rid of them. They popped up every time I used the address bar. Clearing my history would not get rid of them.
This is where they are stored!! I found that by deleting the pesky web site from '''moz_hosts''', it does not appear in my address bar anymore!!!
I think that if I just delete all the websites in moz_hosts....
Wa-la...History Gone!!!
As long as you don't delete the file, just empty it, FireFox won't know the difference. It will just keep adding websites to it until you empty it again.
Why running "clear recent history" doesn't do this, I don't know. You are doing manually what "clear recent history" is not doing.
Please tell me if you see any flaw in this.

I Can not delete appointment made in Outllook in my Iphone

Hello,
I Can not delete appointment made in Outllook and sync in my Iphone (using Exchange Sync).
I can only delete this appointment in my Outlook and then they will be deleted in my Iphone.
Strange situation?

Why can I ?
What is the purpose then to have it sync?
if you can only dothe change on one side and then sync to have it mirored in Iphone
Any clue?
Other question: in my Outlook I have several calendar. When I choose to sync calendars in my iphone, color are picked random. Why can't I choose the color i want in my iphone (why if i want the personal calendar to be green instead of orange? )

OK regarding the color of the calendar.
A little trick.
I create as much calendar in Outlook, and then sync with the Iphone (trough Exchange)until the color I wanted show up.
example I wanted the Personal calendar to be GREEN
After test1 + test2 + test3 ........on test5 calendar the color was green.
I then deleted the other calendar not needed.
And the test5 colored green was still in place.
I then rename this calendar to Personal.
And voila

I can not delete or copy new files to my Iomega external hard drive

Hi,
I can not delete or copy new files to my Iomega external hard drive. Opening hard drive folder I can see that I can not overwrite it. I have heard that I need to install some program for the external hard drive to operate properly in Mac.
Please help what to install or there is some other option.
Thnx

I'm not the expert on this since I have never done it. It sounds like you may need a data rescue program like Data Rescue III. I believe you can download a demo and see if you can see the files. If you can, then you can buy the program and retrieve the files. I don't know if Disk Utility can restore them--I think they have to be visible but this is not something I have ever had to do.
In the meantime, don't do anything with the drive--you don't want to overwrite any files. Hopefully all or most of the files are still there and you will be able to retrieve them. The less the drive is used, the better your chances are of retrieving the data.
Forgive me for not realizing that there were files on the drive that you wanted to save. Upon re-reading your question, I now see that there were. I should have known to warn you, and my bad that I didn't.
Good luck!

Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

Mike whether I create a folder within the Pictures Folder that iTunes uses to sync photographs or just copy them into the main folder the result is the same, I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
The User Manual for iOS5 states ...
You can create, rename, and delete albums on iPhone to help you organize your photos and videos.
Create a album: When viewing albums, tap Edit, then tap Add. Select photos to add to the new album, then tap Done. Note: Albums created on iPhone aren’t synced back to your computer.
Rename an album Tap Edit, then select an album.
Rearrange albums Tap Edit, then drag up or down.
Delete an album Tap Edit, then tap the delete sign.
Yes I can Add a new Album, but cannot delete an album already created. The delete sign does not appear.
In iTunes the only folder that I can see listed is the man one into which iTunes stores pictures, which I have named iPhone Photos.
When I look on my PC this iPhone Photos folder contains another folder named iPod Photo Cache and a multitude of folders created by iTunes, the named F00, F01,F02 etc etc. and a Photo Database file.
Now whether I create a seperate folder within iPhone Photos to store my favourite photos in, or just copy them all into the iPhone Photos folder without being encased within another folder, or create a folder inside the iPod Photo Cache folder the result is the same ...
I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
I am going around in ever decreasing circles here and getting nowhere fast!!

You can go to icloud.com, open Mail, click on the gear shaped icon on the upper right and choose preferences, go to the Vacation tab and set up an auto response saying that the account is no longer in use. Then go to Settings>iCloud and turn Mail to Off on your device and stop using the account.
Incoming email to the account will receive your vacation auto response, and eventually the mailbox will fill up and no longer receive mail at all.

Can not delete outbox item on PC

there are several items in the folder: Nokia phone Browser—〉Nokia N70—〉Messages—〉Outbox， and they can not be deleted on my pc, however, my N70 phone has no these items!
I can use other functions normally,such as send sms on PC via usb connection, can also delete inbox items on pc via usb/Bluetooth connection.
How can I delete the “outbox” items?
My pcsuit: 6.80.22, my windows Xp+sp2, thanks
btw,you can get more detail through the attached pic.

Hi,
I think that it is "feature" that you can not delete messages from Outbox -> I can not do that also. But message is deleted automatic from my Outbox folder when I press button "update" (and phone has sent that message)
If you go to folder: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Phone Browser\Nokia E70\Messages\Outbox\
And press delete to one of message, what is not working?
