Need to salvage HDD out of T61 crash

My T61 crashed a while back and I would like to recover the files from the hard drive. The T61 used a BIOS protection to prevent unauthorized HDD access. I have my password, but no way to use it. I can attach it to another computer via USB, the drive comes up as Unallocated. Suppose I need it to ask for the password. Not sure how to do that. I have an older T60, but have been hesitant to plug this drive into it as the primary drive as the components are a little different and it might not react well. Certainly not worth damaging a working computer.
What is the best way to recover these files?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Welcome to the forum!
You won't damage the T60 by inserting the locked hard drive in it, and the hardware should be close enough for you to be able to clear the password in BIOS, and then recover the files.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

  • I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously

    I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously.
    I seem to be able to select one or the other, but not both ? !
    Thanks

    No. You can only use one sound output:
    Why can't I select HDMI audio on my Mac mini?
    If you connect an HDMI display or television to a Mac mini (Mid 2010 or later), you might not be able to select the HDMI audio device (in System Preferences > Sound > Output). This can happen if you also have headphones plugged in to the computer. Unplug the headphones to be able to select HDMI audio.

  • Macbook Pro need to port audio out from Firewire or Thunderbolt

    I need an additional audio out port (in addition to the headphone jack). 
    This needs to be analog (going to my sound system / RCA) and it appears I need adaptors that will use the Thunderbolt connector, but something that uses Firewire would be ok too.
    My Macbook Pro is 2011 era running 10.6.8

    Something like this Digital Audio To Analog Audio Converter ... from Amazon will do the trick.
    Search for audio digital to analog converter for other options.

    You need to authorize your new computer in iTunes with the same account that is synced to your nano (and old iTunes)
    In the menu bar click Store >> Authorize This Computer…
    This will allow your purchased music to be re-downloaded from iTunes and played on your new computer.
    If you did not purchase the music through iTunes, you may need a third-party program to get the music off the nano. However, It is much easier (by far) to move your old library from your old computer to the new one if you still have access to the old files. iTunes will not transfer music from your nano to the computer. It is a one-way sync.
    If you still have access to your old files, search google for how to transfer an itunes library, and follow someones instructions. It's not too complicated. You may want to specify mac to pc, pc to mac, mac to mac, or pc to pc, as the instructions will change.

    Hi ananta,
    The function module LIST_FROM_MEMORY loads the list from the ABAP Memory to an internal table of the row type ABAPLIST.
    The function module WRITE_LIST inserts the content of an internal table of the row type ABAPLIST in the current list.
    The function module DISPLAY_LIST displays the content of an internal table of the row type ABAPLIST in a separate list screen.
    check the below program..
    REPORT  Z642_TEST2.
    DATA list_tab TYPE TABLE OF abaplist.
    SUBMIT riaufk20 EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
                                    AND RETURN.
    CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
      TABLES
        listobject = list_tab
      EXCEPTIONS
        not_found  = 1
        OTHERS     = 2.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_LIST'
        TABLES
          listobject = list_tab.
    ENDIF.

  • Need to print with out comma

    can any one help me to resolve this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can do this.
    data: str(15) type c value '123,678.00'.
    translate str using ', '.
    condense str no-gaps.
    ABAP related questions should be posted in the ABAP forum.

  • Do customers need adobe to fill out forms

    I am trying to do a meal order form to email to my customers for them to fill out and submit.  Do my customers need Adobe to fill out form?

    The answer depends on which Adobe FormsCentral workflow you use.  If you plan to create a pdf form and email it to customers, then they will need the free Adobe Reader to fill out the form and submit the data to FormsCentral.  If you create a FormsCentral HTML form and email a link to the form, then your customers will need a web browser to enter and submit data.

  • Need to take Print out - PL SQL Program / Unix

    Hi,
    I need to take print out from a file already created in Database Server in a specific path to a printer. Any PL SQL program or any shell script is there to do this??

    {message:id=9360002}
    It's perfectly possible, but will depend on where your data is and whether it's already a printer output file etc.
    e.g. you could use the dbms_scheduler package to call a command line that sends the file directly to the printer device
    However, the specifics of that will depend on your database version and your operating system, and what file you're trying to send.

  • Need all mail sent out GWIA

    We've moved our mail to google (sad to say), but we still need to keep GW running to to allow for 'dumb' SMTP relaying of some internal systems messages. How can I reconfigure my GWIA so it will ignore my domain name (that it used to deliver to my internal post office) and send ALL that mail out the gateway? Right now, mail sent to [email protected] is still getting delivered to the groupwise mailbox. Need everything to go out to google to the [email protected] address.

    I tried that...but it didn't seem to work. Restarted GWIA.
    Is something cached somewhere that needs to be cleared, maybe?

    Change the domain name in the internet addressing settings for your
    system to something "fake". The GWIA sees that your domain is "its" and
    delivers inhouse.

    Edited by: SAP PQ on Sep 26, 2011 5:24 PM

    MD09 is pegging. In SAP pegging is dynamic, meaning that there's no fixed link between purchase order and process order in your case.
    This is why you did not get the same result when you tried again later.
    Such a link can exist only if you do direct procurement for the order.
