Restore and Recovery problem-XP reinstall

I have a N100 laptop that I am trying to reinstall XP operating system. I have the recovery discs. Started the process in the Rescue and Recovery menu. Part way into the process after putting in the first disc the process will go no further. Just to review how I got thru the menu. I chose option Restore my entire hard drive. then selected backup from CD/DVD. then I get a message: to restore from CD/DVD either insert final C disc or insert final discs of recovery discs. nothing happens when inserting the disc. also-when I restart the computer it always goes to the Rescue and Recovery menu. I can't get a normal Windows startup. Any suggestions of how to get at least to a normal Windows startup and avoid getting to the R and R menu or how to re-format the drive?

Hi dawcary,
I dug out my old x32 that has the recovery discs. The version of Recovery is the same as yours.
Booting from the R&R disc it eventually comes to the window with the two options that you describe, plus a third option to restore factory settings. Choosing to restore to factory settings wipes the drive and installs the predesktop. If you reboot at that point, it will go into the predesktop and that window will then only show the two choices that you listed above.
I don't know why yours doesn't show that third option.
At this point, it sounds like the predesktop is installed on your hard drive and nothing else. Rebooting might be bypassing the cd drive and booting into the predesktop. You probably already did this, but it's the only thing I can think of. Put your R&R disc in the cd drive and start the machine. Press F12 at startup and in the list of bootable devices that comes up, choose cd drive. That "should" give you the third option to restore to factory.

Database is pending after restore and recovery

Database is in the pending status after restore and recovery.
The database can not startup today and it shows a error message: the log file 2 cannot be archived. Then I issue the following command:

Database opened.But when I try to login using EM console, it shows the database is not open. Then I restore and recover the database using EM Console. But the database then get into the pending status.
What to do next?

Stop the EM console and then restart it. I expect all is OK then.

[HELP] Problem with restore and recovery to new host

Hi, guys!
I have been trying for two days, but still cannot get it to work.
I have taken a full hot(online) backup with archive logs as well as the control file and SPFILE, and then copied the backup to the new host with the same directory structure and settings. Finally, I have tried to restore & recover the database on the new host but failed during the restore process.
Both the original host and the new host have the same Oracle installed down to the patch level. I couldn't figure out the proper solution to this problem base on my limited knowledge about Oracle DB.
Could anyone help me out here? Any advice would be appreciated!

Yep, I have doubled check the directory structure that get in the way, and they are all exist.
Would it be something to do with the folder permissions?

Rescue and Recovery PROBLEMS

Hi guys. After installing rescue and recovery on my laptop am shocked to see that on my primary drive it isnt there. It is very bothering. If my OS dies I need this to work. How do I repair the boot environment on my T500 I have tried bootrec /fixmbr to no avail. It shows press f11 to boot recovery and them when I push it does nothing. Same with the blue thinmkvantage button. I am quote disappointed as this was also happening to my t61

You just need to launch the R&R application itself.
Go to Start --> Programs --> ThinkVantage --> Rescue & Recovery
If it's at least ver 4.x, you'll see a simplified main interface with 1 button to backup and 1 to restore. There should be a small link on the bottom left to Click on to go to the Advanced menu.
When you go to the R&R advanced view and choose Exclude Files from "Advanced" on the menu bar, it should show bring up a windows-explorer-like tree structure where you can select (put a check mark) in the boxes next to the folder and/or specific files you want to exclude from the backups.
From the same "Advanced" drop-down menu bar, you can select "Delete Backups" and then you'll see a list of your current backups. Simply select the ones you want to delete.
The other person who posted a reply said that you can't restore if you've replaced your hard drive. That's not exactly true. You can save your backups to external media (CDs/DVDs or USB drive). After you change out hard drives, you can restore from the saved backups that are on the external media.

Hello all,

Recently i got a new SSD, so i installed win 7 there. Previously i had win xp in my old HDD. The thinkvantage blue button worked fine with my previous configuration (win xp+old HDD). Now, when i try to install RnR 4.3 for win 7 i got this error message "error 25014. There was an error installing the rescue and recovery boot manager. Return code: 6". Can any one suggest how to solve it and use thinvantage blue button in win 7 with new SSD.
thanks in advance

sorry i forget to mention that i an using thinkpad T400.

Rescue and Recovery Problem

I have several backups to a Samsung 640 GB S2 Portable.
When I try to delete the old backups Rescue and Recovery freezes and I can't delet them, though I can save new backups.
Any suggestions?

gwf12 wrote :
By the way, deleting the newest backup as suggested by GMAC-R60 makes no sense (why would you want to delete your NEWEST backup? That's the one you WILL NEED if something goes wrong as it has the most recent snapshot of your hard drive!)
I would suggest you search this forum for how to delete R&R backups, it may not make sense to you but the only way is to delete newest first or you will not be able to delete them. don't take my word on it run a search in the knowledge base at the top of the page.
jfatlenovo wrote:
You can only delete the most recent. So, delete the most recent, and after that is done (which may take some time), delete what is then the most recent (but was formerly the next-to-most-recent).
(The backups are incremental, so you can't delete the oldest because it contains the original backup of everything, and then the newer ones only contain the changes since the previous one in the list.)

Oracle Restore and Recovery

Hello.
Guys I`m pretty new to Oracle and I been trying to restore our backup from Live Database to Our Test Database.
This is what i did.
After installing the Oracle 11g (11.2.0) on our Rhel6 environment, I try to create the folder structure to Test Server same as on Live Server.
After that I "startup nomount pfile='directory'" then created the spfile.
Then I copy the backupset and control file from Live Server to Test Server and restore the control file.
I alter Database to mount mode then go to rman to restore Database.
It all goes well but when I try to recover Database I receive an error.
This is the Error = RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown archived log for thread 1 with sequence 8929 and starting SCN of 811164225283.
I try to ignore this error and proceed to opening the database;
Alter Database Open resetlogs.
But then again I receive this error.
ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced
ORA-00704: bootstrap process failure
ORA-39700: database must be opened with UPGRADE option
Process ID: 8020
Session ID: 3 Serial number: 4461
Can some one please help me on how to do this?
I`m really new to oracle and I dont know what to do.

Sir,
Thanks for your assistant.
I have successfully restore the Database.
Now my problem is after recovery I cannot access the EM.
Here is the error shown.
"503 Service Unavailable
Servlet error: An exception occurred. The current application deployment descriptors do not allow for including it in this response. Please consult the application log for details."
Is this the cause of my recovery?
Should I turn off EM first before I recover?Just to expand on what Hemant said, the dbcontrol has two parts. One is the repository, which is a bunch of tables in the database. The other is the configuration, which is a bunch of files buried under ORACLE_HOME. The two have to be in sync in ways I don't fully understand, but when you replicate a database from one host to another, especially if any kind of database rename is involved, you are getting the repository from the source system and laying it down with the configuration on the target system. Bottom line, exactly as Hemant said, drop and recreate at least the repository. I do both the repository and the config.

HP G61 - 511WM Boot and Recovery problems

I recently tried to reset my graphics drivers, but messed up and it caused me to be unable to run Windows 7 in normal mode, only in safe mode. So I decided to do a system recovery to fix this. I got my files I wished to save off of the laptop in safe mode, then went into the F11 menu and hit system recovery or restore, im unsure what one it is. I started it and realized I had left a file, so I canceled the recovery about a second or two in.I then only got a few options upon start-up. Either press "escape" for the options or wait a second for windows to boot. Only, when it was supposed to boot I only got a black screen with a white underscore flashing in the top left corner. I dont know what to do now, as I can only go into the "escape" menu or get stuck in the black screen (only way out is holding the power button). I have tried going from the escape menu to the F11 "recovery" menu to see if I could restart or continue the recovery/restore. The only options are "System Recovery" and "Run Computer Checkup". When I select "System Recovery" it first tells me to remove all devices, then, after pressing "ok", I am told to insert my charger, which I do. Everything works fine until just before I can start the recovery, i get an error.
The error says "Runtime Error! Program: This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual was. Please contact the application's support team for more information"
I press "ok", the only option, and am forced to turn off the laptop. All solutions to this problem require booting windows and doing things on your account. The issue is that I can't boot windows normally OR in safe mode, so I can't do anything, I can't restore windows to fix the issue because I cant even get into windows.
I have called HP support, but the 100$ waranty to get support isn't an option. Is there anything I can do to either access windows and fix the "runtime" error message, so I can restore the laptop. Or can I restore the laptop any other way, so I can access windows?
Thanks,

Hi:
It appears that somehow the recovery manager/partition got corrupted.
You have a couple of choices as I see it...
1. Order a set of recovery disks which will restore your PC to its out of the box software state.
Click on the link below, and click on the link labeled "order recovery media."
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4034...
2. If you can read all 25 characters of the W7 product key on the bottom of your notebook, make your own plain W7 installation media and use that to at least restore the OS...
If you just let windows install on the current C:\ partition (do not delete or format the partition), it will create a windows.old folder and you can get whatever files you missed from the windows.old folder.
Then just delete the windows.old folder using the disk cleanup tool and click on the clean up system files button.
Here is how make your own W7 installation media.
Download the applicable version of W7 that came with your notebook. For example, windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
Use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html
Use the 25 character W7 Pro product key you have.
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.

Crystal Report Server Backup and Recovery problem

I have a problem on the backup Crystal Report Server
My Environment:
- Windows Server 2003
- Crystal Report Server XI R2
- MySQL Database for Central Management Server System Tables(Default setting in the Crystal Report Server installation)
- Tomcat (Default seting in the Crystal Report Server installation)
I stop the Central Management Server before backup.
I run the following command to backup Central Management Server System Table:
mysqldump --user=root --password=pass1234 boe115 > C:\CMSBackup.sql
It is ok to generate CMSBackup.sql file.
After backup, I re-install the Crystal Report Server and run the following command to restore Central Management Server System Table:
mysqldump --user=root --password=pass1234 boe115 < C"\CMSBackup.sql
After finish the restore process, I cannot found my setting on the Central Management Server System.
Any backup step i missed ?

Hi Stefan,
Thank you for your reply.
I had set Users Rights, Folders setting, Group setting, and Windows Authentication information in the Crystal Report Server
Also I had upload reports to Crystal Report Server, but i cannot found above information after I restore the MySQL CMS database.
Any step i missed ?
About the Output File Respository, Can i copy and paste the Input and Output File Repository ?

Error code 0x800700B7 with System Restore and Backup problems

My OS is Vista Ultimate. 2GB RAM. 13GB free space on C Drive. I am unable to use System Restore or Backup and Restore center. When I try to create a Restore Point (or do a backup) error message comes up 'Could not create the scheduled task for the following reason: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (0x800700B7).' I think (not sure) that these problems came after I was infected with win32:Vitro virus. (No longer any infections showing). I think that my registry may be corrupt or files deleted. Can anyone help please?

Hi,
Thank you for your post.
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
Note: Please perform a complete system backup first. If any unexpected issue occurs, we can quickly restore the system to the current status.
1.     Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
2.     In the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache
3.     Right click on this key and select "Export" and save the key to a Flash Drive or other removable storage device.
4.     Remove the key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\Microsoft\Windows”
5.     Please reboot the computer and check if the issue reoccurs. If it works, please also reconfigure the Scheduled Task for System restore in Task Scheduler.
Hope this helps. Thanks.

Restoring and syncing problems

My itunes, no matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall, cuts off the left part of the screen with no bottom scroll bar to move over and select something. After restoring my Iphone (twice), I am unable to do anything because I can't chose which way to have it sync (either new phone or backup) because other than a check box, there is no button to push to get the phone to progress. The same thing happens in my ringtone creations. I can't actually hit the buy button because there is no way I can see it. Any suggestions?

I think I know what I did, I downloaded the update early from online and now it wants to restore to that download which I have deleted, if I click Shift+Restore is the official apple update file somewhere for me to select?
