Recovery from crashed drive - PSe3 files with tag info?

Hi,
I've had a crashed hard drive which I cannot now boot from. So without being able to reboot, I can't start PSE3 and view the photos and the tags in the organiser.
I do have one back up but it was done some time ago and, since then, I've added quite a few more pix. (Clearly I need to back up more frequently, but that's for the future. At the moment, I'd just like to get back any of the tags so painstakingly put in over the last couple of months.)
I can view the partition that carried the OS (WinXP sp 2) and would like, if possible, to salvage the tag files from the PSe3 installation. (The photos themselves I've been able to copy out of the damaged hard drive.)
- Can anyone direct me to the folder or file in the original PSE3 installation that would contain the tag information for the photos logged in the Organiser?
- Also, is it as simple as reinstalling the programme and then copying this file/folder into the new root folder to 'get back' all the tag info?
Any help (or alternative suggestions) would be welcome.

>- Can anyone direct me to the folder or file in the original PSE3 installation that would contain the tag information for the photos logged in the Organiser?
XP -- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalogs
The catalog file itself is a .psa file.
The default catalog name is My Catalog.psa
Also look at
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalog Folders
Under that structure there will be a subfolder with the name of your catalog (the default being "My Catalog" without the quotes). It contains those thumbnails that you see in the Photo Well of the PSE Organizer plus other control files.
Note that you must set the "Folder Options" to view Hidden Files in order to see these folder structures: this can be done either from Control Panel or from the Tools menu of Windows Explorer.
>- Also, is it as simple as reinstalling the programme and then copying this file/folder into the new root folder to 'get back' all the tag info?
Probably yes. People have done this over the years since PS Elements version 3 was released.
1 -- I woud first try copying over the .psa file AND its associated folder under "Catalog Folders".
2 -- Copying over the Catalog Folders subfoder does have more risk of failing because of configuration differences. So if number 1 does not work, then I would delete the folder under Catalog Folders on your new drive - then try again with just the copied over .psa file placed in that Catalogs folder. Wtih this approach you will have the tags but you will need to recreate the thumbnails displayed in the Photowell of the PSE Organzer.
Note that having correct pointers to the photos from the Catalog does depend on having the same Windows drive letter assigned to the disk containing the photo files: if you only have a C drive then that should be OK (otherwise you do need to verify drive letter assignments).

Amarok 1.4.10 from AUR plays flac files with errors

amarok 1.4.10 from AUR plays flac files with errors and i mean that it plays flac files but with strange behavior and of course the result is awful is there any chance to fix that problem. i have compile it with xine engine, can i use a different engine in PKGBUILD and how. i should write that i don't known much from configure a PKGBUILD by my own. with exaile and totem i have no problem i also play flacs with 24bit and 96khz audio quality. tnks for your time

Why not amarok 2.3 from extra?
Found this but its for 2.3: forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=85428
looks like amarok just uses xine, which I don't know much about...
the 2.3 version depends on kde4, so you can run kde4 system settings and switch the multimedia backend between xine, mplayer, and gstreamer (need the aur packages first). I know mplayer should use ffmpeg to playback though.
Edit: looks like exaile and totem use gstreamer for playback

Mac InDesign CS6 crashes when adding files with links to Windows network into book

Our Mac network is unstable, so I tested linking InDesign CS6 files (on my Mac's hard drive) to .jpg files on our company's very stable Windows network rather to the same .jpg files on our Mac network. I tested with 4 simple, small InDesign files. When these 4 files were linked to images on a storage drive on our Mac network, I could drag all 4 files into a book and export the book to PDF. But when linked to the same images on the Windows network, while each file would open fine with no errors, and while I could generate a PDF from each individual file, the moment I dragged the 4 files into a book, InDesign crashed, generating pages of information in the crash report form.
I have no problem making 500 page manuals on my hard drive, comprised of about 50 InDesign files, with links to THOUSANDS of image files on a storage drive on our Mac network. Is there some trick to making a book with files linked to images on a Windows network? If there is no simple answer, who could I call to set us up so this will work?
I'm using InDesign CS6 for Mac, totally updated, version 8.0.1.
Thank you so much!!!

It seems, this is all you need to do... your message isn't clear as to whether you've fixed your issue or not.
[Extract from link above]...
"Add the network share(s) to your Favorites in Bridge and drag assets into your layouts from Bridge or Mini-Bridge. The paths stored in the InDesign links will be full network paths, and both sets of machines should have no problem finding them. This is the more usual InDesign workflow."

Copied places.sqlite from crashed drive to new computer per instructions and old bookmarks don't load

I copied the places.sqlite folder from a crashed drive (FF 3.6.15, Windows XP) to the new computer (FF 4.01 Windows 7) per instructions, to appdata/roaming/moz/fire/profiles etc.
There are also JSON/bookmark backup files on the old drive's directory, they don't display when I try the import html command. All files have data.
How do I get the bookmarks to load on the new computer? Just copying the places.sqlite file didn't work.

Unfortunately coping the partition does not work. I don't thing you will be able to create recovery media from the copied partition on the external but if you have not yet created recovery disk you can give it a try.
If you cannot create the recovery media you will need to contact HP support to obtain a recovery kit.

Computer illiterate, but wanted to know if it is possible to recover data from hard drive?

Hi,
Please check professional services in your area, normally they charge few hundred dollars depending on recovery rates but never get 100%. There are few tools such as:

Edited by: Matt on Feb 16, 2009 2:15 PM Removed excessive question marks...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi venkat,
Yes indeed it is possible to write data from internal table to different excel sheets. Check out SAP's Microsoft OLE functionality.Search on SDN for OLE . Following are some links
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/abap/sample%252bprogram%252bto%252bopen%252bexcel%252bsheet%252busing%252bole
You can also check out FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE to check how to read different worksheets.
Using the above two resources you can create a program that can upload data to multiple worksheets in the same workbook.

Hi
Can you tell me which version of dreamweaver you are using (and flash pro, if you have it), as the code you provided has element of a number of different versions (e.g. your js flash files are reasonably new, but your flash inserted into the html body is old, but with the cs3 version of flash player indicated!). Also the detect flash file is no longer required.

How do I import binary data files (with header info) into DIAdem?

We have lots of data acquired by nCode datagate. Files are binary data with header info. How do I import this into DIAdem? Typical (short) file attached. Also of interest, can I stream data from Sony PC208/SIR1000 recorders?
Attachments:
Propshft.dac ‏4 KB

I have successfully imported your file into DIAdem using the nCode file filter included with DIAdem. You might have to make that file filter known to DIAdem by following these steps (this assumes you have version 8 of DIAdem):
1. Go to the 'Window' menu in DIAdem and select 'Close all'
2. Go to the 'Settings' menu and select 'GPI-DLL Registration'
3. Click the 'Add' button in the window and select the 'GfSnCode' DLL in the 'DIAdem/AddInfo' directory
4. The program will prompt you to restart.
5. After you have restarted DIAdem, go to the DATA icon, select 'File - Open' from the DATA menu and in the dialog that appears, choose 'nSoft Data File Format' in the 'Files of type:' field.
6. Select your data file and load
That's it.
With regards to your Sony reco
rder data, I would need to get my hands on an actual data file to try it out. In general, DIAdem can import ANY binary file format by creating a header in the 'File - Import via header' section in DATA. If you have lots of data files from the SONY recorder, a DLL can be created for that specific file format with the free DLL toolkit included with DIAdem.
Leave me a message here if you have any additional questions.

*** Reading from a file with tags ***

Hi guys,
I don't know if it is possible, but can you read from a file that contains tags?
For example, say i want to write a simple program that just outputs the details of a person that it reads in from someFile.dat
someFile.dat
<DETAILS>
<NAME> Napolean Solo </NAME>
<ADDRESS> 10 Some Street, SomePlace </ADDRESS>
<PHONE> 33333 </PHONE>
<NAME> Illya Kuryakin </NAME>
<ADDRESS> 12 Some Street, SomeOtherPlace </ADDRESS>
<PHONE> 44444 </PHONE>
</DETAILS>
So what i want is program that outputs to the screen like:
Napolean Solo
10 Some Street, SomePlace
33333
Illya Kuryakin
Is this possible in Java?????
I really appreciate any help that is given,
thanks in advance :)

So what i want is program that outputs to the screen
like:
Napolean Solo
10 Some Street, SomePlace
33333
Illya Kuryakin
...If that's all you want (and since a valid xml file has to start with at least <?xml version="1.0"?> so XML is irrelevant to this discussion) then this will generate the output you specify from the imput you provided:import java.io.*;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class SimpleAngleBracketEliminator {
public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(args[0]));
    String line;
    while ((line=in.readLine())!=null) {
      StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(line, "<>");
      while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
        st.nextToken();
        if (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
          System.out.print(st.nextToken().trim());
      System.out.println();
}But if you actually want the benefits of real XML, then use a real XML parser.

Word and Excel hang "downloading" file from network drive - copy file to be able to open it

Word or Excel hang trying to open files on a network drive maybe after an untidy close.
Symptoms: pick the file from a pinned entry on recent list or even direct from File!Open... or by double clicking on the file from file explorer. Word/Excel show in the middle of the status line a comment "Downloading:filename "
a progress bar, that shows no progress, and a white cross on a red circle to close. Some minutes later may Excel/Word say could not open filename.
I have removed any temporary copies of the file prefixed with the ~. However there are no documents shown in any document recovery pane.
If I rename the original file the problem is still there.
I can only clear the problem by working on a copy of the file. It works with either a new name of if the copy is used to replace the original file.
It seems file explorer's "copy" is clearing something within the file that is causing this problem.
I have seen the same issue with both Excel and Word documents in native Office 2010 format.
Is there a better way to clear this issue?
Thanks

Hi,
It doesn't hang/crash, does it?
If you could provide the exact error message, it would be preferred to determine the cause.
You can also try the steps below to modify the registry, as mentioned in this thread:

Data Recovery from crashed Hard Disk

Hi,
My HP Pavilion Laptop's internal Hard Disk (Seagate) has crashed Suddenly and it is not getting detected by system.
This hard disk contains some of my important documents which I want to recover. When I contacted a service center, I was told that it can be recovered by some expert professionals but that is a bit costly affair.
Can anyone suggest, how the data can be recovered from the hard disk.?
Thanks in advance for help.
Regards,
Rajeev

If your hard drive is spinning then using an effective data recovery software you can do recover your data yourself. I would advice you to try Kernel for Windows Data Recovery Software to recover your data from Windows file system.
