Need instructions for creating T61 XP backup media

Can you direct me to instructions for creating the backup media (DVD preferably) for the existing 4GB backup partition on my T61 running XP?  It is intact, and I can boot into it, but I'd sleep a little better if I had the option of booting from external media.  I'm aware of the advice to call and purchase this media, but I would prefer to just make it myself, if possible.  
Thanks!

I don't recall the step by step, but there is a menu item in the lenovo section you can use to burn recovery media from within windows. If I'm not mistaken, it can only be used once, however if someone already burned a set you can still restore from the harddrive and after restored you will again be able to burn one copy of recovery media.
However, I'll give you my own personal opinion on this. When you install from this recovery media you'll have an outdated operating system. The T61 recovery disc was made in 2006 or 2007 and after you install it you'll need to install the latest service pack, then you'll probably want to replace all the drivers and all the lenovo apps that are also outdated. You're going to end up replacing nearly everything, plus you're going ot have several redundant copies of all this outdated stuff taking up space. My preferred method is to use a windows setup disc that has the latest drivers and critical updates integrated, then go online and download the latest drivers for your hardware and as much or as little of the lenovo products that you want on your system. You then save an enormous amount of harddrive space and have a computer without all the bloat and it all gets done in a fraction of the time. The last time I installed from a factory restore disc set it took hours, then several hours more to replace everything with updated versions.

  • Need instructions to create application in SCCM 2012 for Captivate 8

    I need instructions for creating an application in SCCM 2012 for the latest versino of Captivate.  I found instructions for the prior version but unsure if these apply.  The instructions state to create a package, not application.  Is it possible to create the application, and are there any special instructions I should know about?
    Thanks

    Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening  a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

  • Additional Instructions for Creating USB Installation Media

    Greeting Everyone,
    I have been trying to install archlinux on my Acer c720 chromebook.  The instructions have been posted on one of the forums and I have been following them and ran into a bit of a problem.  For some mysterious reason using Syslinux as the bootloader (I think I got that right) puts the C720 into reboot immediately.  The forums indicate that I should use GRUB instead of Syslinux.  Great! That is exactly what I want to do, and here is the problem:
    The instructions for creating the USB Flash Installation Media give step by step instructions for getting archlinux.iso and Syslinux on to the USB memory stick - which I followed and succeeded- but no instructions on how to put GRUB on there instead of Syslinux.
    Could someone give me instructions on how to do that.
    I am following the "Manual Formatting" --- "In Windows" section of the wiki titled "USB Flash Installation Media."
    Just so everyone knows this is my first venture into linux world and away from point and click windows world.....

    Those instructions are about the installation(about what you choose to install on your harddisk). So they aren't important yet if you haven't managed to boot up the usb drive. What three images did you try? You should get the image from here:
    https://www.archlinux.org/download/
    Did you try booting the drive on other machines and how did that go? Did you go through all the instructions described in the wiki(enabling developer mode and enabling legacy boot) and did you get to the boot menu?
    Were you able to select the usb drive in the boot menu?
    On a side-note, I don't have a Chromebook so I'm not able to confirm the instructions on how to enable developer mode etc.
    Yes I used the following images from archlinux.org:
    archlinux-2013.10.01-dual.iso
    archlinux-2014.01.05-dual.iso
    and the third was from a random selection from the drop down menu in LiLi USB creator.
    Yes I have followed the instructions from the installation wiki and was able to get the developer mode and to the boot menu on the c720 and able to select USB to boot from.
    As I mentioned earlier I had success using the method for creating a USB Installation in the wiki (under  "Using manual formatting", "In Windows" https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … tion_Media ) I was able to get the archlinux splash screen and it tries to install but resets.  And I figured out that this happens because following the instructions I end up with archlinux and Syslinux on the USB and I need arclinux and GRUB.
    Hence my request for additional instructions for getting archlinux and GRUB onto a USB for installation.
    I will try the USB installation created using LiLi on a different computer - it is much older though and I am not sure it has enough memory for it.

  • Need Instructions for installing AE card in dual G5 tower

    I need instructions for installing a AE card in a dual 2 GHZ powermac G5. I understand I need to also install an external antenna. Since I do not have an antenna where is the best source for the antenna, apple or an outside vendor. My G5 is presently connected to a netgear router and I want to use the AE card to communicate with an airport express base station with airtunes connected to my stereo receiver. Would this create a conflict since my computer is connected to the netgear router. Any help would be appreciated.

    You are going to need the t-shaped external aerial otherwise this is not going to work. Even though your PowerMac did not come with an Airport Extreme Card built in, it would have been supplied with the aerial.
    You will need to find a replacement.
    ]I want to use the AE card to communicate with an airport express base station with airtunes connected to my stereo receiver. Would this create a conflict since my computer is connected to the netgear router.
    I am presuming that your Netgear is not wireless.
    Can you connect the Airport Express to the router are do you want it in a different room?
    You will be able to be connected to the router and AX at the same time, but in order to avoid internet and network issues, you should ensure that built-in-ethernet is above Airport in the network configurations.

  • De-Facto instructions for Creating Web Templates, PLEASE

    Hello All,
    I am adept at HTML, and am ok with Java. I have hand coded my entire site. And hand created very intricate web templates to use in Breeze Browser.
    Now, trying to fully incorporate LR into my work flow, I am finding it frustrating to find GOOD instructions for creating my own web templates. I have followed several links, read what was said, read forum posts. But to be honest, there just is no good 1 stop source for the busy person to learn how to do this.
    I am asking that someone, very knowledgeable in creating web templates, for both PC and MAC, please put together a well outlined post describing every step needed to do this. And then have the forum moderators make the post sticky so that it is easily accessible.
    This is very important if LR is going to fit into many working pros current work flows. PLEASE somebody do this.
    I will be eternally great full!!!!
    Thank you in advance for any kind soul who considers doing this

    Hello Paul,
    You're not the only one... I know of several people who are waiting for decent documentation of the XML/XSLT mechanisms so that we can create templates for our custom web sites. My own needs happen to be very simple, but frustratingly difficult to achieve (or maybe I'm trying the wrong approach).
    All I want is a file called index.txt that contains a title for the gallery and a list of thumbnails and full size images, and then I want the thumbnails and images all in the same directory and named in a specific way (no spaces and 't_' prefixes on the thumbnails). Trivial in BreezebrowserPro, but so far I haven't managed it with LR (mind you my XSLT knowledge is virtually non-existent).
    This is the only thing that's holding me up purchasing LR.
    Cheers,
    Simon

  • Need instructions for setting up wireless network at home, w/o base station

    I have a new iMac with Airport Extreme card and a MacBook, also with a card. I need instructions for connecting the two Macs via Airport. I do not have a base station. The Help on the Mac does not match my actual system.
    All of the manuals that I can find are for the base station.
    Please help.

    Hi W
    You don't mention if you have any kind of internet connection on either computer, so I'll assume that you don't, and this setup will simply network the two computers with no consideration of the internet.
    On either of the computers, make sure that the Airport icon is visible in the menubar, and that Airport is active - check System Preferences, Network, Airport to make sure both are the case. Now, in the menu icon, click "Create Network". You'll be prompted to name the new network, set a channel if you need to, and you can also set a password under "Show Options". Once the network has been created, your Airport icon will change to a solid grey with a computer inside it.
    You should now be able to connect to the new network on your other Mac and share services.
    Let me know if you have any problems with it.

    The Examples They Show Are not for my computer I Need instructions For A Windows Computer HP TouchSmart

    The answers are in the details, and you have not given us enough details to help you.
    Right now I am guessing at what you seek. Are you trying to use your HP Touch Screen to do your
    Premiere Elements importing, editing, and exporting and the Touch Screen movements are not working
    to do what you want to do in Premiere Elements?
    Have you configured the HP computer Touch Screen? Using the Touch Screen, what cannot you do
    that you can do with the mouse?
    HP Support document - HP Support Center
    If I am guessing correctly here, does the mouse work instead of the Touch Screen to allow you to
    work in the program.
    I suspect that Premiere Elements does not support Touch Screen and you will end up using a mouse, but I would need to do more homework on
    that.
    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If you are dealing with the current version, 13, you might want to contact
    Adobe about the matter. More on that later, once you confirm the above or let me know that I have completely
    misinterpreted your question/concern.

    Need instructions for downloading/installing Flash Player in my PC

    Hi, This is the Adobe Flash Player Uninstall link:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    This is the Adobe Troubleshooting Guide which you may want also to review. I would suggest using the Manual Installers which you can download and SAVE to your Desktop. Pay attention to any apps using Flash, you may need to Disable any Anti-Virus. Be sure to use the Administrator Account and check Settings. Be sure to Reboot after running the Uninstaller and also after Installing.

    Before you do surgery on your imac, go to applications, system preferences, displays, and see if you can adjust the brightness. My screen was significantly darker after I upgraded to 10.4.3 and I was able bring it back to life. For some reason the upgrade caused the brightness button to regress to 0 on a scale of one to ten- hope this works for you
