Need to recover OS but don't wont to lose data on HDD
Dear All!
For the long time now, I was trying to disable a trojan or a worm, on my WXP (Home!) i.e. get rid of the cftmon_.exe, when I decided to follow the instructions from Symantec and manually deleted parts of the register, I guess that it was USERINIT part ( turning off the System Restore before and turning it on after the deletion).
It may be as well that I did not do something right, following the fact that I would be logging off the moment that logging on process has started. This is relatively known issue here, with different options.
- I need to keep data at both HDD's.
- I have no other partitions.
- I do not know what free space I have on one of them, which I could eventually use for the Expert recovery mode.
a. Following the fact that I want to take the option with Toshiba Recovery DVD, i.e. Expert mode ( http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2513&tstart=125 ) as a last one,
b. I have trouble with installing Recovery Console (with original Windows XP CD (Professional!), "R" to "repair), but I would get the message "setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer"...
I understand that I would need to install the RAID driver ( http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=20093&messageID=73758 ) but I am afraid that this may delete the data on the disk.
My questions are following:
1. Will installing the RAID driver (downloaded from the Toshiba off web site http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/updates/raid-drv/raid-drv-qog20-xp-1380.zip and installed over FDD I guess) in order to hopefully install Recovery Console, and do the rest of the job, make the data from my 2 HDD's disapear (delete)?
2. If I eventually use Toshiba Recovery DVD, i.e. Expert mode what size of partition should I save for the mirror on the half-empty 1.HDD?, should I make the partition at 2 HDD, after backing it up and counting that the data will be lost? Should I select any special setings during the process, apart from those mentioned at the link above? What should I do after-wards? Can I build the damaged registry when logged on and how? will I be in position to use personal and archive data from the Microsoft Outlook?
3. Is there an alternative with UBCD4Win and UBCD? Which one is better? What is the procedure after booting CD's after the restart? How do I get to copy/repear userinit files?
I do apologize for load of information, but I am quite stuck. All the data needed for my normal life are buried there !!!
Many thanks to JohnnyS, tw, Quad, Eldorado and Others!
Cheers!
Hi friend,
I like to answer on postings like yours, its a good exercise for my work and its really cool to have some topics where all people here will contribute.
JohnnyS is a friend of mine which is working with me at our office and we talked a little bit about your problem.
So his opinion was to use the UBCD4Win and work with that option.
The advice of him was:
Grab a USB-HDD case and put one drive in it and boot with UBCD4Win. Then copy all important data to a folder on the external HDD and remove the uneeded data on it. Just the important data!
Make a backup of your data on the external drive from both HDDs. I hope you will have enough free space.
Format the drive in your machine and recover it. Install the system as usually on your first HDD.
Then put the data to where you want.
So I am not sure if I understanded your question right, a little bit more explanation would be useful. I think that will be a long thread. ;)

Resetting my iPad but don't want to lose data
I need to return my work iPad to the company and therefore will be resetting it. How can I ensure I don't lose the data, how can I save it so that I can put this on a new iPad if I decide to get a personal one.
I also have an iPhone and don't want to lose anything from that when I reset my iPad, are they linked? Is there anyway to move this data across to my iPhone?
The data I'm worried about losing is the contacts, iMessages and bookmarks/favourites within Safari.If, in iCloud settings on the iPad, you have Safari checked, your history and favourites will be synchronsied via iCloud and you'll be able to get them back on a new device synced to the same account. Same for contacts, calendar items and so on.
The page below outlines everyting backed up via iCloud.

So between iCloiud sync and backup, you should be OK -
HT1430 Need to reset Ipad but don't want to loose data
Nedd help with the above
Connect to your computer and back up your iPad before restoring.
I like to achieve a full backup in the following order:
1. Open iTunes
2. Transfer Purchases - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases - Let this process finish
3. Backup - File>Devices>Back Up - Let this process finish
Now you have a full backup! If your iPad needs to be completely restored due to a complex technical support issue, then you'll likely want to try to Restore from Backup first and see if the issue is resolved. That will in all likelihood restore the same issue back to the iPad, but it is the most hassle free way of restoring and in some cases it will resolve your issues. If you are still having your issue after restoring from the backup you just created, you will need to restore again and Set Up as a New iPad. This will require you to set everything up as if it were new out of the box. Email, addresses, iCloud settings, etc. You will lose some data. Any saved game data, iMessages, etc.
Hope this helps. Please reply if you have further questions. By the way, what is the specific issue that you are experiencing which necessitates the "reset"?
Best Regards,
Mike

Am currently using Snow Leopard and do not have access to I Cloud or latest version of I Photo. Understand I can download Maverick free but am worried about losing data. How to download Maverick and safeguard present files?
Mac OS X upgrades are designed so that none of your existing Applications or User data are intentionally deleted during a System Upgrade.
That works as long as there are no problems whatsoever.
Your best protection from data loss is good Backups. Before you upgrade, buy an External Drive at least 2 to 3 times the size of your User Data, and Turn on Time Machine. USB-2 enclosure drives are cheap, and fast enough for backups. If you will use this drive for everyday data, a faster interface would be much better.
Time Machine works quietly in the background, and does not "take over" your Mac to do the Backups. After the first large backup, it will quietly back up hourly, copying only the things that have changed since the last Backup. Time Machine is not the only Backup solution, or even the best solution out there. But it tends to be the Backup that actually happens, because you don't have to download any software, do extensive setup, or think about whether you should do it now or later. -

Report CWERReporter finishing event handling. (00000000)Hi friend,
I like to answer on postings like yours, its a good exercise for my work and its really cool to have some topics where all people here will contribute.
JohnnyS is a friend of mine which is working with me at our office and we talked a little bit about your problem.
So his opinion was to use the UBCD4Win and work with that option.
The advice of him was:
Grab a USB-HDD case and put one drive in it and boot with UBCD4Win. Then copy all important data to a folder on the external HDD and remove the uneeded data on it. Just the important data!
Make a backup of your data on the external drive from both HDDs. I hope you will have enough free space.
Format the drive in your machine and recover it. Install the system as usually on your first HDD.
Then put the data to where you want.
So I am not sure if I understanded your question right, a little bit more explanation would be useful. I think that will be a long thread. ;)

i have just bought a macbook pro and i want to use an ext hard drive with it which i previously used on a windows computer, but when i plug it in it doesn't show up on my macbook pro, I've wiped it and just need to format it but don't know how, any help would be much appreciated
Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen. -

If you are talking about a CDR disk, you may have a problem after restoring your Profile with having a "lock" on the individual files due to using a CDR and Firefox not working properly or an "alert" popping up. Easily solved by being observant after restoring your Profile and unlocking those files. -
we plan on buying an iphone 5 but don't want to lose the text messges we have on our iPhone 4s. is there a way to upload the texts and then download them onto the new phone
Text messages are included in your iPhone backup. Before switching over to the new phone, back up the old one, then restore this backup to your new phone. That will transfer text messages, along with other data and settings, as well as your apps and other purchased media. More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.

Downloaded apps using my iphone, now I want to sync my phone on my computer, but don't want to lose the apps that I've downloaded on my phone Help!
Connect the phone to your computer, but do not sync. Make sure iTunes is authorized to the same account that you bought the apps with. Then select "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. Once this finishes the apps will be on your computer, so you can sync safely.

How do I know what OS I have on my iMac? I've used it as a PC for years and need to switch over but I may be out of date with current software. I think I read Lion somewehere....? OS 10.5.8
Click on the Apple icon at the top left of your menu bar, then About this Mac.
OS 10.5.8 is Leopard. Lion is 10.7
As for upgrading:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

TaohikoHi Taohiko
Have you made backup of all archived redo log files? If so, why this one was disappeared?
Have you applied all archived redo log files before that required archived redo log file?
Please try to recover the database using the following command:
RMAN> RESTORE DATABASE;
RMAN> RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL SEQUENCE 29166;
RMAN>ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS; -
Unlimited Data Plan-Need to change my phone but don't want to lose!!
I am "grandfathered" into the unlimited data plan, we have four lines, I need to change my phone as my current one doesn't work. I tried switching to an old phone that I used 6 months ago with the unlimited data via online and it would not allow me to do so. How can I change to another phone without being told I have to buy a data plan? If we need to "buy a data plan" all 4 phones will be going else where....
Makes no difference about any tin foil hats, Verizon is using ANY MEANS to force unlimited data users off the unlimited and onto share or metered data. It is a fact. They tried twice with me and I pay full price for my devices.
1) Change your minutes, they want to take away your unlimited.
2) Buy a new device on subsidy, lose your unlimited data.
3) Buy a new device on the Edge program, lose unlimited data.
4) Swap a device on your account, they want to take unlimited away.
5) Add a prepay tablet to your account, they tell you that you lose Unlimited data.
However the instructions are you are prepaying for the tablet use so its billed to your credit or debit card yet not really part of your cell phone plan but they want you to lose unlimited.
In short if you go online or call on the phone or even chat, for any reason in some cases Verizon is removing your unlimited data. And you have to be careful since many here are stating the same as I listed.
They are a business, if they decided not to have unlimited data trust me it will be gone. So leave a little room in that tin foil so the broadcast will get through.
Just for a giggle, many many years ago I bought an unlimited Mobil Gasoline coffee cup. You paid for it once and each time you came to a Mobil station you get a free coffee. I still have the cups (they came in two sizes) yet just try and get that free coffee. The company dropped the promotion. And now you get arrested for theft.
Nothing lasts forever.
Good Luck -
Need to reinstall windows but don't have any CD - Satellite Pro L20
Hi, I wanted to reinstall Windows XP home onto my Satellite Pro L20, but don't have any of the software my laptop came with (read lost the disks). I have a valid XP home key (as its stuck on the bottom of my laptop) but no disc so I tired using a copy of a Windows XP home cd, which didn't work, but did let me get as far as formatting the hard drive.
So right now I'm using Ubuntu, but want to reinstall Windows. Have valid product key but no software to reinstall.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
ChristopherAre you kidding now?
Do you understand English or what?
I will try to be clear enough and constructive too in hope you will understand your situation.
Some facts for you:
- Recovery image *CANNOT* be downloaded
- Following link http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com >Support & Downloads you can find all drivers, tools and utilities for your notebook model
So back to your situation:
For clean OS installation you have *_two_* options only:
- if possible order new copy by Toshiba authorized service provider in your country *do you have more questions about that?*
- you can install operating system using Microsoft installations CD *if you don't have it, it is your problem*
Can you please tell me if all this is clear now?
If you have more questions please ask.
