New G580 has seven partitions, Help identify?

Having a hard time figuring the partitions. first is a windows recovery drive. Second the windows boot partition. Third i'm guessing a lenovo recovery drive. Other than C: Windows, The other i'm not sure.
Other info:
Made usb factory restore and made one restore point. When i made the usb factory restore when it finished it asked if i wanted to erase the recovery and i selected yes. Was thinking maybe G: was created when i made the restore.
If there are links to figuring out exactly what they are that would be great. Or someone kindly explain if they can. :
Thanks

hi cbay,
In a UEFI/GPT lenovo machine, this is the usual layout of the partitions:
1.) WINRE_DRV 1000MB OEM - this is the Windows Recovery Environment - this has it's own interface / it doesn't need the 7th partition to operate
2.) SYSTEM_DRV 260MB System - check this thread
3.) LRS_ESP 1000MB OEM- The third partition is the EFI System partition which is used for data storage for the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) interface
4.) (blank) 128MB MSR - The fourth partition is the Microsoft Reserved Partition which is also used for data storage for the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID).
5.) Windows8_OS 884.2GB Primary - Windows 8 OS
6.) LENOVO 25GB Primary - this contains the Application and Drivers that are preloaded on the OS (the drivers listed on this folder are also available on the lenovo website)
7.) PBR_DRV 20GB OEM - this is your recovery partition - you will need to press the One Key Recovery button to activate this partition.
Hope this heps

A new ipod has been detected but cannot be identified. [drivers?]

Yes -that again- the reason I'm making a new post is that this is the second time an ipod hasn't worked with me, I would like to know if there's something I can do to my system or whatever to repair it. Here's the situation.
- Just so ya know, I use Vista on a laptop [unfortunatley]
- Previously [as in yesterday] I had an ipod touch, it was stuck in recovery mode and nothing [and I mean nothing] worked to recover it, it wasn't being recognized at all. This problem occured when I installed Itunes 9.
- Today I bought myself a brand new iPod Nano (5th Gen) for several reasons [not just to do with the itouch breaking, I was sick to death of the thing in general], took it home and connected it. 'A new ipod has been detected but cannot be identified' yadda yadda.
- I tried everything, I have also downgraded my itunes back to 8, still the same message!! Argh! Here's the thing (that I think might be causing the problem) when I open Device Manager and go to Universal Serial Bus Controllers, there is no apple/ipod recognized. There is a 'USB Mass Storage Device' whch has an error symbol next to it, I've tired updating/reinstalling it etc and it doesn't work ):
- Is there anything anyone can do? I'm so sick of ipods breaking on me. Just so you guys know, I'm not completley computer savvy so i'll need precise instructions, thanks so much to anyone who can help me.

This is how it's displayed: http://i50.tinypic.com/nd7vk7.jpg
And this is what happens when I click properties and 'search for solutions': http://i47.tinypic.com/2iu3vrc.jpg (the box disappears after that, apparently having done nothing, when I search online for software it informs me my computer already has the best/latest installed)
I use a Toshiba Satelite L350-170, my Vista is a 32-bit Thankyou!

I am unable to restore from iCloud backup because the new phone has iOS 8.1.2 and the old phone has iOS 8.2? Any help.

I Have just bought an iPhone 6 and want to restore my iPhone 4s via iCloud backup to the new iPhone 6. The setup of the iPhone 6 halted because according to the new phone it has iOS 8.1.2 whereas the backups were stored using iOS 8.2 following my updating of the iPhone 4S recently. How do I jump through this hoop? How do I update the new phone to iOS 8.2 without serring it up first? Anyone, please help?

Update the new phone to the same version that has been used to create the backup. In your case, the new device has to run 8.2 to be able to use the backup made with the other device.
Setting it back to factory settings will install the newest version and after that you can use the backup made under 8.2

Without the serial number your FCE disc is useless and nobody here can help.
Your only chance, if you have the receipt or can prove your purchase is to contact Apple and hope they may be able to help.

A series of issues with my new G580

Hi,
I bought my new G580 I5 (Ivy Core), in July.
In the past few weeks I've exerienced a series of issues. I don't know if they are connected - I was wonderfin if anyone can tell me and the causes.
1) On boot up I received a message each time saying that dsk chck failed due to newly installed software (I hadn't installed anything new before this came up). I tried to reseach solutions but nothing worked for me and as I was told it wasn't essential to fix, I left it a while.
2) A message popped up saying 'IAStorIcon' has stopped working. (Don't know what that is or what it does)
3) I turned on my laptop a few days later to say that boot up had failed and that windows needed to repair itself. It then did it's thing and rebooted and windows opened. However, with absolutely no sound. I tried everything to get it working but it wouldnt work. It said the drivers to the sound card were working but it appeared that they weren't.
The bluetooth function also stopped wrking at this point.
Nothin I tried restored the functions.
4) I tried windows repairs etc. With no success I did a system restore and the above functions resumed. However, the system seems slower and less responsive,
Can anyone help me with what's going on here?
I bought my laptop in the UK but I live in the Dominican Republic, so access to warranty services are not so easy. 'll be back in the UK in February so if I can keep it going til then at least, I'll be happy as I rely on the laptop for work.
Thanks

Ermh!
THE most extraordinary thing happened.
I installed iTunes on my laptop, hooked up my iPod, checked the box for manual music handling. And nothing appeared to be wrong whatsoever! I tried it with my Dimension, and there were no complications there either.
I mean, what the F??! :D:D
Freaky business...

Cloned harddrive has unknown partition table

Hi all,
I've followed this wiki article on how to clone a full disk: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Disk_Cloning.
Specifically:
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror
The drive itself only has one partition that is encrypted with LUKS.
dd finished copying everything over so naturally I wanted to verify that everything works as expected on the cloned harddrive.
Now I've rebooted the machine to make sure that the kernel detects the partition table changes, but there's still something strange going on.
fdisk -l can see the partition table fine, but parted cannot. Here's the output:
$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sdc: 931.5 GiB, 1000194400256 bytes, 1953504688 sectors

Disk /dev/sdc: 1000GB

Disk Flags:
Strange as it is, I can open and mount the encrypted partition and see the files:
$ sudo cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/sdc1 crypt2
$ sudo mount -t xfs /dev/mapper/crypt2 /mnt/crypt2/
$ ls -l /mnt/crypt2/
I'm using XFS so I wanted to try and run a filesystem check on it. After unmounting the partition I run:
$ sudo umount /mnt/crypt2/
$ sudo xfs_repair -n /dev/mapper/crypt2
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
xfs_repair: error - read only 0 of 512 bytes
Note that crypt2 is still open and shows up in fdisk -l. So XFS can't find the superblock to check the filesystem but I can somehow still mount it just fine? What am I missing here? I'm sure it's just a stupid oversight on my part, so apologies in advance...
Oh, here's the output on xfs_repair -n on the old harddrive:
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
Phase 2 - using internal log

Phase 7 - verify link counts...

Okay so I think I found the problem. I found this link when researching the error that parted threw at me: http://askubuntu.com/questions/48717/ho … tion-table
And indeed, the new HDD has less sectors than the original, and the first partition ends outside of that.

Since the whole partition is encrypted, I don't want to risk simply resizing the partition. I think I'll just go ahead and make a new partition, encrypt it and copy the files manually. Unless anyone else has some input on this for me?

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited. In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items. I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible. I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected. Hope this helps!

My new iPod has now crashed and is unusable after updating it. Don't update. I just lost the only good thing I have because of them pushing me into it.

My new iPod has been updated. I was pushed into it. So then I thought "it could use one it could improve it". I read as much as the terms and conditions as I could read that was understandable. And now it's been less then two days and my iPod is now practically useless. Don't update your iPod. It was the only good thing I had. I pleded and pleded to my parents for weeks and save up for weeks to get one. And now it's not even a year old and I've lost it. I can't afford to get a new one. And I can't afford to loose this one. i worked hard every day all day For months to be able to even get a quarter of what i needed. And my parents agreed to pay for the rest and it was my Christmas present. i was extremely happy. It's the best thing that I have and I've lost it because of an update Apple pushed me into. Now they won't help me.
my iPod is freezing every 5-10 minutes for long periods of time. It is:
freezing
the keyboard board is lacking severely
lags through out ipod
i cannot play games as it lags then freezes.
my screen is pressing where I don't press it.
it becomes very excruciatingly slow
I Cannot write to fast or it freezes and i have to re start
Im not getting told when I have notifications (such as emails)
i cannot use facebook, games, Safari. Email, messenger and a few others with out my iPod crashing.
i Cannot use the iPod properly at all.
it can take up to 10 minutes for my camera to work. It usually takes 1 minute or more.
the camera freezes or wont take a photo when I press
it freezes on panorama or worn take panoramas.
it has trouble even trying to get the lock screen up.
and best of all of it. I can never tell when I'm going to be screwed by Apple.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How do I consolidate a song into an album, each purchased separately, in my iTunes library? iMac OSX 10.8.5. iTunes Help has been no help.

How do I consolidate a song into an album, each purchased separately, in my iTunes library? iMac OS X 10.8.5. iTunes Help has been no help.

However, my troubleshooting issue is that I also want the songs in my concert playlists to go in order of how they were performed at the concerts.
Give them a track number.
Each time I number them within the playlists the song's number also changes within the Library Music list.
And? I'm not seeing the problem.
However, I can not figure out how to make true copy. I've already tried dragging the song to my desktop, then dragging the new copy back into iTunes. I've even tried renaming the duplicate copy and dragging it into iTunes. Why won't my iTunes make an individual duplicate copy of a song?
How do you have iTunes manage your music? If you drag a song to the desktop it may just be moving the file to the desktop.
Command+R to reveal the file in Finder. Command+D to duplicate the file in Finder. Drag the duplicate to iTunes to add the second copy. Not that I totally understand where the issues lie and feel this is likely not the best remedy...

I am 72. Old computer died. New one has Windows 7 Prof. Can I install Photoshop CS2?

I've been using Photoshop since version 4. Worked up to CS2, but not the suite. My old computer with XP died and the new one has Windows 7. Can I install it on the new one? I'm terrified to try because I am NOT a computer expert. Can I get help on this? Is CS3 (alone, not the suite) compatible with Windows 7? I only use Photoshop and InDesign and don't need all the extras. I went to a friend's house and tried Photoshop in her CS3 Suite. I can't figure out how to even cut things out using paths. Is CS 3 Photoshop (not suite) comparible to CS2? Please help me.

do you own photoshop cs2 and indesign cs2 or a suite containing both?
if yes, you can go here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
and download the two needed programs (note the serial numbers on the download page) and download and then install the two programs using the serial numbers from the download page.
you can probably just install on your win 7 computer without using compatibility mode.

How can I add a new column in compress partition table.

I have a compress partition table when I add a new column in that table it give me an error "ORA-22856: CANNOT ADD COLUMNS TO OBJECT TABLES". I had cretaed a table in this clause. How can I add a new column in compress partition table.
CREATE TABLE Employee
Empno Number,
Tr_Date Date
COMPRESS PARTITION BY RANGE (Tr_Date)
PARTITION FIRST Values LESS THAN (To_Date('01-JUL-2006','DD-MON-YYYY')),
PARTITION JUNK Values LESS THAN (MAXVALUE));
Note :
When I create table with this clause it will allow me to add a column.
CREATE TABLE Employee
Empno Number,
Tr_Date Date
PARTITION BY RANGE (Tr_Date)
PARTITION FIRST Values LESS THAN (To_Date('01-JUL-2006','DD-MON-YYYY')),
PARTITION JUNK Values LESS THAN (MAXVALUE));
But for this I have to drop and recreate the table and I dont want this becaue my table is in online state i cannot take a risk. Please give me best solution.

Hi Fahed,
I guess, you are using Oracle 9i Database Release 9.2.0.2 and the Table which you need to alter is in OLTP environment where data is usually inserted using regular inserts. As a result, these tables generally do not get much benefit from using table compression. Table compression works best on read-only tables that are loaded once but read many times. Tables used in data warehousing applications, for example, are great candidates for table compression.
Reference : http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/04-mar/o24tech_data.html
Topic : When to Use Table Compression
Bug
Reference : http://dba.ipbhost.com/lofiversion/index.php/t147.html
BUG:<2421054>
Affects: RDBMS (9-A0)
NB: FIXED
Abstract: ENH: Allow ALTER TABLE to ADD/DROP columns for tables using COMPRESS feature
Details:
This is an enhancement to allow "ALTER TABLE" to ADD/DROP
columns for tables using the COMPRESS feature.
In 9i errors are reported for ADD/DROP but the text may
be misleading:
eg:
ADD column fails with "ORA-22856: cannot add columns to object tables"
DROP column fails with "ORA-12996: cannot drop system-generated virtual column"
Note that a table which was previously marked as compress which has
now been altered to NOCOMPRESS also signals such errors as the
underlying table could still contain COMPRESS format datablocks.
As of 10i ADD/SET UNUSED is allowed provided the ADD has no default value.

Adding a new field to the search help exit

Hi friends,
adding a new field to the search help exit. How does it work ?
Thanks in advace
Ilhan

The search help exit allows you to modify functionality of search help. If you add a new field to the
parameter list that is not contained on the selection method you can manually populate it within the search
help exit.
This would be performed within the u2018STEP DISPu2019 section. Once within this section all search help
data has been retrieved and is stored in table RECORD_TAB (record_tab-string) as one long string value.
Therefore you need to read table SHLP in-order to locate position of value within string.
Example:
To find position of personnel number (PERNR) within elemenory search
help M_PREMN you would use the following code:
Loop at record_tab.
     read table shlp-fielddescr into wa_shlp
                                   with key tabname   = 'M_PREMN'
                                            fieldname = 'PERNR'.
You could then use this information in the following way, for
example, to find a persons organisation unit:
      select orgeh endda
        up to 1 rows
        from pa0001
        into (ld_orgeh,ld_endda)
       where pernr eq record_tab-string+wa_shlp-offset(8)
                                                  u201Cpernr length is 8
       order by endda descending.
      endselect.
      select single orgtx
        from t527x
        into ld_orgtxt
       where orgeh eq ld_orgeh and
             sprsl eq sy-langu and
           ( endda ge sy-datum and
             begda le sy-datum ).
If you have added a new field to the end of the parameters list
the next step is to populate it by adding this data to the end of
the record_tab string:
concatenate record_tab-string ld_orgtxt into record_tab-string.
modify record_tab.
endloop.
