  • Unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver

    I am unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver vers.2.573.4202.00 on a Win98 computer.
    First, I create a "Net Service Name" in order for the ODBC Driver to find the Oracle server. I then created a System DSN in the ODBC Data Source Administrator and assigned the "Net Server Name" as the server in the "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Setup". But when I test this DSN with Oracle's provided "Oracle ODBC 32Bit Test vers.2.5.3.1.0" I get an error:
    SQLSTATE: NA000
    Native Error Code:0
    Driver Message:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]
    This error occurred on all three Win98 computers I have tried. It does however, seem to work fine on WinNT 4.0, and believe it or not, on the two Win95 computers I have tried.
    Does anyone have any fixes, recomendations, or advice?
    Thank you,

    Why are yu not using the Oracle ODBC driver - these can be downloaded from OTN.
    Have you set up a tnsnames.ora entry for the Oracle database you want to connect to? Does this name have a domain name added to it? Check %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora for the service name. If it is a name of the form :
    name.domain.subdomain
    then you should try using this full name when configuring the ODBC data source.

    how to recover hp pre-installed games and office after system restore for HP Mini 210-4127se?

    Hi,
    You can reinstall them from Recovery Manager by clicking on Start=> All Programs.
    If you have performed a complete HP Recovery using F11 then all the software should be there. If you have performed a minimized recovery then you can install applications from recovery manager...If none of these works then you'll need USB recovery..
    Here are the links that will guide you through the process:
    Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7)

    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

  • System restore broken right after recovery

    I just did a recovery on my X1 laptop. I put the recovery on a USB stick before I did the reinstall. I noticed my system restore was not working. It would say it would work, but no restore points are found.
    When I first went to the System Restore properties, there were two C: drives. It was enabled on the one listed as (MISSING), and disabled on the one with the Windows logo. I attempted to enable on the proper drive and got it they way it should be like so:
    Now when I try to create a restore point I get this error:
    Everything I have found says to do a "Repair" on Windows 7. I can't even do that since all I have is the OEM recovery media. But if I re-image, I will be in the same boat as I am in now. I find system restore to be a huge asset and use it all the time. I am stumped on what I can do to make it work.

    For whatever it's worth,  this happens to me everytine I do a restore from an image. All I do is to select the C drive that is missing and and turn off the restore function. Then I select the remaining C drive and enable the restore function and everything is then normal until I do another restore. I don't know  why it does it but I think it's something screwy with Win7 getting confused with drives before the drivers are loaded.

  • System Restore after Hard Drive Replacements

    After a SMART event I replaced the 750gb Hard Drive of a Pavilion p6267 desktop with a 1tb hard drive; after installing the hardware and running the IMAGE DISKS created prior to the event, I keep getting an error message:  "Windows setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer's hardware".  Any idea on how can I restore Windows?

    Hi:
    If you are replacing the motherboard with the same model then yes, the product key should work and you shouldn't need to reinstall windows 7.
    If you are upgrading the motherboard, perhaps the drive will boot, perhaps not.  It depends on how much different the hardware is.
    If you are doing the latter, please bear in mind that using the product key would be in violation of the Microsoft OEM licensing agreement.
    Below is the link to the FAQ's regarding replacing motherboards.
    http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_faq.aspx#fbid=dA2356OPFFZ
    Specifically this...
    Q. Can a PC with an OEM Windows operating system have its motherboard upgraded and keep the same license? What if it was replaced because it was defective?
    A. Generally, an end user can upgrade or replace all of the hardware components on a computer—except the motherboard—and still retain the license for the original Microsoft OEM operating system software. If the motherboard is upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect, then a new computer has been created. Microsoft OEM operating system software cannot be transferred to the new computer, and the license of new operating system software is required. If the motherboard is replaced because it is defective, you do not need to acquire a new operating system license for the PC as long as the replacement motherboard is the same make/model or the same manufacturer's replacement/equivalent, as defined by the manufacturer's warranty.
    The reason for this licensing rule primarily relates to the End User Software License Terms and the support of the software covered by those terms. The End User Software License Terms are a set of usage rights granted to the end user by the PC manufacturer, and relate only to rights for that software as installed on that particular PC. The system builder is required to support the software on the original PC. Understanding that end users, over time, upgrade their PCs with different components, Microsoft needed to have one base component "left standing" that would still define the original PC. Since the motherboard contains the CPU and is the "heart and soul" of the PC, when the motherboard is replaced (for reasons other than defect) a new PC is essentially created. The original system builder did not manufacture this new PC, and therefore cannot be expected to support it.

    Hi Brady,
    Your issue may occur if the backup files is larger than 4 GB, in my opinion, it's better to format the USB drive first, then test if you can backup a small folder in the USB drive. You can try to backup a user file using the following steps to test your issue.
    1. Open Control Panel and start creating a backup from the Backup and Restore center.
    2. Select the USB drive as your location, then choose what to backup. please choose the option "Let me choose".
    3. Uncheck all option, and choose a small folder.
    Note: Uncheck the option before "Include a system image of drivers: Unnamed driver".
    4. Start your backup process.
    If you can make the backup. it's better to backup your files to a bigger USB drive.
    I hope this can help you.

  • Recomendations for Hard Drive recovery tool

    Does any one have a recommendation for a Hard Drive recovery tool?
    My brothers external Lacie 200MB Firewire drive has crapped out. He has all his family movies (iMovie projects) stored on it so he really needs to recover the files if possible.
    I have the drive now and have hooked it up to my machines and it is definitely in bad shape. At this point I can see the drive in the finder, but it doesn't appear to contain any files or folders. It also shows up in Disk Utilities, but a Verify Disk doesn't reveal any problems (and running "Repair Disk" returned "No repairs were necessary, the volume seems to be OK").
    At this point the disk just appears to be empty. I am running a deep scan with Stellar Phoenix right now. Any suggestions on the best OS X recovery tools.
    Thanks
    EDIT:
    oh, and the disk appears to be formatted HFS+
    I was thinking about yanking the drive and installing it internally to the ide bus - don't know if this would make a difference.

    Well, that’s a lot of interesting advice.
    The first thing to do is NOTHING! Don’t try heroic efforts until you’ve explored all the demonstrably non-destructive ones.
    First of all, if the drive mounts, gives no errors from the Finder or from Disk Utility but appears to contain no files, then the likelihood that this is a symptom of a hardware error is very small. Moving the drive to different enclosures or trying to connect it internally is probably not advisable.
    Are you cerrtain the drive was not simply re-initialized? That would be the simplest explanation for there being no files apparent. If that’s the case, then surely a majority of the contents are recoverable, BUT NOT IF YOU DO ANYTHING FURTHER WITH THE DRIVE.
    If you have recovery software that’s specifically designed to recover files from a re-initialized volume, use that. If not and you cannot acquire such software, and if the data is valuable enough, then I strongly recommend that you use a commercial data recovery service.
    Unfortunately, I cannot give you any specific recommendations for diagnostic and repair software—I’ve been away from Mac OS too long.
    I know this is not very specific, and I’m sorry for that. I’ll keep an eye out in case you have other questions that I might be able to answer.
    Good luck.

    So, a few months ago, I got a brand new HP computer(with windows 8, if that helps). I've never had any problems, except for one time when it screwed up the time somehow, but anyways; The up and down arrow keys don't work. At all. They don't scroll, they don't move anything up and down, nothing. Not the normal arrow keys or the keys on the number pad. They've only done this for a little while, a few days maybe. On day they worked fine, the next, nothing. I don't really think it's the keyboard itself, because on the number pad, 8 and 2 work fine. just not as arrow keys. Yes, I tried pressing num lock. Nothing. Along with that, I attempted to see if the up and down keys worked with the on screen keyboard- Still nothing. The left and right keys work totally fine. I don't know what to do, and this it /really/ frustrating. Please help!

  • CQ56-219WM won't restore for hard drive

    Windows 8 machine that my teenage son uses.    He tried to turn on one day and got absolutely nothing. Honestly I don't know how but we somehow managed to get it to turn on and IMMEDIATELY started pressing F11 in accordance with HP's recommendation (hoping to be able to rescue/restore, since we were bad people and did not create any rescue discs when we bought the machine new.)  The machine freezes up and will do absolutely nothing when we try this approach.
    Suggestions please!  I might mention that my wife started having some issues with her machine, shortly after having installed MINECRAFT on hers.  She uninstalled that and it has been working fine since.  The reason I mention that is because our son has MINECRAFT on the machine we are discussing here.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL!

    Hi
    Some of the things you could try:
    Hard reset: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01684768
    Run an extensive hard drive & memory tests, it'll take time: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03463381
    Wait for the results.
    If all the tests pass, you could go for recovery from partition in your system.
    But since it's freezing, I don't see that happening.

  • System restore for multiple partitions

    Hi guys,
    This is probably an easy question, and I think I have the answer from reading other threads, but I want to make sure I have the right idea before I start reformatting things!
    I want to install linux on a partition of my 500 GB HDD on a T410 currently running windows 7, and I want to create backup disks to:
    a) Get a factory image on my newly sized windows partition (400 GB windows / 100 GB linux) in case I need to reformat the windows partition alone; and
    b( Restore everything to the factory fresh windows only system, the way it shipped, in case I ever want it as all one windows partition again.
    As I understand it (I've never played around with laptop installations before), I need to make a backup partition as soon as I turn on my new laptop, create a recovery DVD from that backup partition, and then I can delete the backup partition.  But that will only work for the factory fresh 500 GB windows installation, so, after I partition the drive, I have to create a new recovery partition to create new recovery DVDs, and then delete that recovery partition.
    If I'm right on all that, I should end up with two sets of recovery DVDs, no recovery partitions (because I've deleted them after making the DVDs), and I can use the set of DVDs that corresponds to the way I have the drive partitioned when I choose to reformat.
    Does all that make sense, or have I missed the boat on any of it?
    Thanks for taking the time to ease my fears before I mess with my new laptop's drives!

  • System Restore – Blank Hard Drive and non-working internal DVD drive

    I have a blank internal hard drive and I’m trying to restore my DV6815nr with Vista back to working order.  The trouble is, my internal DVD drive died a while back.  I have recovery discs, but the computer doesn't acknowledge the internal drive.  When the computer worked, the internal drive didn't show up in device manager, etc...   I have an external USB DVD drive that works with the computer (when it was running), but it won't boot from it.
    On power up, the internal DVD and USB DVD drive both spin up.  I then get a "BOOT MGR is missing" message.
    F9 Boot Menu shows:
    4. Notebook Hard Drive
    6. Network Adapter
    F10 System Config in Boot Options shows:
    CD ROM Boot
    Floppy Boot
    Internal Network Adapter Boot
    Any way to get the computer running again?   Thank you.
    I’m sorry, I forgot to mention that I did try a used replacement internal drive that wasn’t recognized either.  I guess it could have been defective, but I figured it was on the computer side.  I’m hoping there’s a way to get it running without the internal DVD drive?

    F9 should show the usb drive if it is connected and shows the power light., try another usb port.
    dv6000 seriies had all sorts of motherboard failures in large numbers, this could be the reason the drive does not show up in F9. May or may not be your problem, but the internal dvd drive disappearing from Windows is one symptom of motherboard issues.
    I am not familiar with your bios but some models did have the ability to disable usb boot.

  • Scratch install vs. system restore for HA system

    Hi All,
    We are planning for a Mimix High Availability install and would like to know whether our initial install of the HA systems (R/3 in one LPAR and CRM/BW in another LPAR) should be full DR type restore or a new install of R/3, CRM, and BW.  Lakeview has recommended a scratch install and we have a vague memory that change the server name on an already installed SAP system can cause problems.  What type of install did you perform during your initial setup of the HA systems?  Did you load your production database on the HA systems during the initial install or wait until you were ready to start replication?
    TIA,
    Stan

    Hi Stan,
    as Mimix "only" replicates the DB, a few libs and the IFS (or even not) and nothing of the rest of the system, I would not go for a full scratch install. I would start with a homogenious systemcopy with special things in it - e.g. my "easy homo copy" and then you need to discuss how you want to start the server with what IP names etc.
    Most likely you want to switch host names - at least the logical hostname. So, the SAP profiles need to be adjusted.
    But, I don't see any benefit (except additional effort) from a scratch install.
    (you should ensure, that the GIDs and UIDs of the users are the same - this makes IFS easier)

  • How do you perform a full system restore for the hp officejet 6500

    Basically, after having this printer for 1 year, the wireless printing started to not work correctly. After buying a laptop and trying to configure the printer with it, the printer started to have problems with wireless printing. So how do you perform a FULL factory reset? I already tried hitting #9 while the printer was turning on but it only seemed to partially reset the system. It did not turn it back to the day i bought the printer.

    OK, so it turns out it was the 'only show synced content' tick box.
    Wow, how embarrassed do I feel now? I never even paid any attention to that tick box all these years.
    Interestingly, over the last couple of days I had my ATV at v1.1 again, and happily deleted all my content (except for 1 album which I deliberately left on). A few days went past, and I checked daily - and there was only ever the 1 album.
    I then upgraded to ATV v3.0.1 again today and that's when my problems came back - all my content magically reappeared on the Apple TV (or so I thought).
    I'm thinking maybe that the 'only show synced content' is a recent 3.0 feature? And if so, maybe that's why I never noticed it before and that's why it was confusing me? Or maybe it's been there all these years (in which case I'll carry on being embarrassed).
    Anyway, a huge thanks to everyone who responded.
