Hi:
No, there isn't.
You can still order a set of recovery disks for your specific ze2000 model from the vendor at the link below.
Make sure you get the right set.

  • Installing OVS 3.3.1 for use without the VM Manager and /dev/mapper

    Hello,
    I've done an install of OVS 3.3.1 on to a standalone server with a local disk.
    When I do an fdisk -l I see the following output
    [root@SYS-VMServer1 ~]# fdisk -l

    What I'd like to do is remove the /dev/mapper/OVM_SYS_REPO_PART_350024e9003518d34 partition (I think this is using the /dev/sda4 partition)
    I tried deleting the partition /dev/sda4
    then
    kpartx -d /dev/mapper/OVM_SYS_REPO_PART_350024e9003518d34
    However when I re-create the /dev/sda4 partition and then reboot the /dev/mapper/OVM_SYS_REPO_PART_350024e9003518d34 re-appears!!
    I want to create a standard partition formatted as an EXT4 file-system and start/stop vm's from using the xm command's (we create our VM's on another OVS 3.3.1 + VM Manager that's on another server).
    The reason for this is that we want to use DRBD + REMUS which is included with OVS 3.3.1 (just type modinfo drbd)
    I know I could probably download xen on to an appropriate OEL Distro but I like using OVS as it's simple, straight-forward and it works!
    Thanks for your help

    Suggestions…? Well yes… simply forget about that! Oracle treats OVM server as an appliance - or least they'd like to and sell us the hardware as well. Since they can't do that, they decided to "craft" the system to their likings and omit lots of things one might consider either necessary or nice to have.
    Oralce did intentionally leave out all the gcc stuff and a lot of the other tools as well, to make sure mortals don't mess around with the system. If you want to use OVM then you will have to live with that or risk breaking any part of OVM and rendering your installation unsupported by Oracle.
    Besides, I don't actually see, why one would need to install libvirt/virt-install on a OVM server?

  • HP TouchSmart IQ504 trys to access but ends with the Recovery Manager Screen and freezes or locks.

    Hi Everyone,
    When turning on the HP TouchSmart IQ504, it freezes or locks at the Recovery Manager Screen.  There have been some good suggestions to help with this issue, but so far, none have solved the problem.  Control + Alt + Deleter has been tried several times.  I did install some anti-virus programs before the computer failed to respond.  Have tapped the F8 key and have tried every solution it offers...nothing happens to get the TouchSmart IQ504 going again..  Have also used the esc key, F9, F10 & F11.  Nothing with any of those solves the issue.  Don't know for certain the operating system, but think it is Windows Vista.  And I can't check it now to know what operating system is installed.  Can anyone out there help.  Would appreciate that very much.
    Kindest regards,
    from Skowghee

    Hello skowghee,
    I understand that you are not able to boot into windows.
    Turn off the computer.
    As you power it back on tap the F2 key. This will load hardware diagnostics.
    Run the startup test.
    This will test all the hardware in the system and detect any problems.
    Let me know how everything goes.

  • HP recovery manager and windows update

    Hi,
    I am having two problems:
    1.  I have been having problem with my Recovery Manager, everytime I try to start it, it gives an error window "HP recovery manager has stopped working" and then it shuts the Recovery Manager down.  Please advise.
    2.  In the past I would run the Windows update through the Recovery Manager, but since the Recovery Manager was down, I would just go run the Windows update from the Control Panel.  But now even the Windows update cannot be started too.  It will just get stuck at the icon without further action when I double click on it.  Please help.
    This question was solved.

    Hi @yawbus ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY TouchSmart 15 Notebook and issues with the HP Recovery manager not working correctly.  Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase that might need updating.
    If that does not fix the issue you might have to install the Recovery manager from here.
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
    When performing a System restore please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices as they can cause issues.
    I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • W500: using the switchable graphics with vista ultimate without the power manager software?

    seriously, invest in a new hitachi travelstar 320gb for 49 bucks from that tiger place online and a usb hard drive caddy, pop in your free clonezilla cd and your rescue and recovery problems will be over!
    after reading all the problems with that software i figured my data was too valuble to get caught in that mess so for under 75 bucks problem solved and i rid my w500 of that bloatware. even cheaper then ordering the recovery disks from lenovo.
    working on getting rid of the rest of the useless software now.
    hey question, how do you use the switchable graphics on the w500 with vista ultimate without the power manager software? if you can thats next!!
    Moderator note: Question added to subject line for clarity.
    Message Edited by Agotthelf on 28-04-2009 08:45 AM

    That's because you are asking a T500/W500 question in the Thinkvantage forum. Anyway, the answer to your question is in this thread.
    ATI recently started packaging their switchable graphics driver together with their regular Catalyst. So downloading their latest driver Catalyst 9.4 from the ATI/AMD site and then modifying it with the Mobility Modder will allow you to use switchable graphics without the power manager. The little problem is just that the released version of the Mobility Modder stopped working with Catalyst 9.2 and you are on your own getting a modified Modder  working on 9.4, see here.
    So I decided not to make more work for myself staying on a modded Catalyst 9.1 and for the time being living without switchable graphics.

    Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to  one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
    Thanks again, Sandra2474.

  • Hp4530s lacks recovery manager and recovery patition.

    My hp probook 4530s - (core i3 2350m - Windows 7 64 bit) laptop lacks recovery manager and recovery patition. It has genuine windows 7 but it doesnt include recovery CDs as well.
    1)So how can i recover the computer and set to factory settings with original OS and Hp software?
    2)Can i do it by pressing F11 when booting.
    3)Will it takes to recovery manager even if there is no recovery partition or recovery manager in the laptop?
    4)Sellers say this product has a hidden recovery partition and it will work when you press F11. Is that true?
    Please reply me as soon as possible. Thank you

    Hi:
    if there is no recovery manager or recovery partition, then you won't be able to use the F11 method to recover the OS.
    I never heard of a hidden recovery partition on any HP business notebook I am familiar with.
    I guess you can always start up the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, tap the F11 key and see what prompts you get (if any).
    The best thing to do, is to order a set of recovery disks from HP by calling them for the country you live in at the link below.
    Call the number listed for business PC's notebooks. You will need to provide the model number and serial number.
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
    You can also make your own windows 7 reinstallation DVD if you can read the 25 character product key on the bottom of your notebook.  Here's how:
    If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
    Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
    Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
    Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
    The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
    Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
    Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

  • My computer crashed and I cant reload firefox.. I have tried the task manager and deleting uninstalling and installing program again. I click on icon and nothing appears although is running in task manager

    My computer crashed and I cant reload firefox.. I have tried the task manager and deleting uninstalling and installing program again. I click on icon and nothing appears although it appears to start and is running in task manager, but the browser wont open.

    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management

    I have recently purchased a Mac computer (updated to Maverick) to go with my Epson Stylus Photo RX500 printer which has given excellent service with my old Windows computer. However, when trying to print pictures or photos via Photoshop Elements 11, the best results I can get are using the Colour Management and Epson Colour controls in the printing options box.
    My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management, The only way I can reset the controls is to shut down the printer and computer and restart.
    Could there may be a setting somewhere that I need to adjust please?  I have been in touch with Epson and they say that the Epson Colour controls are part of the Photoshop Elements software but a post on the Adobe forum brought no results and I am unable to contact Adobe.
    <Edited by Host>

    Hello Garry. Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have used a different title from "How do I post a question?" That should come after trying to resolved the colour settings first. However, to answer your question, after experimenting with all the different settings in Photoshop Elements and Epson software, I now start with PSE11 Colour settings then click "no colour management" then after clicking Print, I choose "More Options/Colour Management/Colour Handling/Printer Manages Colour" then I choose "Page Setup/Layout/Colour Matching" which then shows Epson Colour Controls but I also choose "Layout/Colour Management" which then shows "Colour Controls/Mode" I then of course choose an Epson printer profile depending on the paper I am using. I get good results but as I said, the Colour Matching and Colour Controls are then greyed out. Hope that makes sense.

  • I just downloaded an update and my sophos anti-virus is going beserk.  It will not allow me to remove the threat when I unlock the quarantine manager and I have no idea of what to do

    I just downloaded an update and my sophos anti-virus is going beserk.  It will not allow me to remove the threat manually when I unlock the quarantine manager and I have no idea of what to do.

    The malware it's finding is probably Windows malware attached to e-mail messages. What are the names of some of those things? Assuming they're not Mac malware, allowing Sophos (or any other anti-virus software) to remove them could cause problems. For example, if they're attached to e-mail, removing them improperly by simply deleting the message file will leave the malware on the e-mail server, and it may very well end up getting re-downloaded when your mail client syncs with the server. It may also corrupt the mailbox.
    If you actually ever see a malware name starting with MacOS or OSX (I forget which one Sophos uses), then you will need to worry, and should not assume that the malware can be completely removed by anti-virus software of any kind.

  • How can I just display the selected value of a listbox in a report without the reverse display and selection buttons?

    I am using a table which contains a text field with a lookup. I want to use the selected value of this field in a form which is acting as a selection form. No editing of the field's value is permitted. How do I just display the value of the field (which
    is considered a listbox on the form) without the reverse display and the up and down selection buttons. 
    I can provide an illustration of the condition I am trying to overcome, but this system doesn't accept it.
    Thank you for any suggestions or clarification you can provide.
    Marj Weir

    Thank you.  I'll try that approach. 
    I found, after much experimentation, on a similar problem involving a multiselect lookup field,  that if I make the field invisible, and add a  textbox that displays the fieldname plus .column(0), it displays all the selected entries. 
    E.g.: staff.Column(0)
    Staff is the field containing the last names of selected staff members. 
    staff.Value only shows the first name in the lookup list whether it is checked or not, so this is useless.
    staff.column(0), however, (inexplicably) shows all the selected names, e.g. Jones, Smith, Wiggins.
