Satellite A660-k17: Can I delete both primary partitions used for recovery?

Hello
I have 3 questions :) #
1 - I have burned a dvd copy of recovery media, on a A660 k17 laptop.There are two partitions on the disk which i believe are there for recovery.The first is 1,46 GB and says that it is for recovery and another hidden partition of 8,29 GB..and i suspect that the first one contains the recovery wizard and the whole enviroment into which one will get through system repair and the hidden disk contains the actuall data with windows,drivers and so on.Can i delete these both?Mainly i ask about the first,if it isnt necesary for the system to boot or something after i recover the laptop to factory setting.
2 - and i also want to leave my partitions so that i dont have to partition the entire 600 GB C drive again.I have a D drive created but there is this reply to a thread already in forum http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=64754&tstart=90
that says that when i leave the partitions i have created myself, than the recovery will not be available.I have a copy on dvd but only to be sure i dont mess something up.
3 - When i want a clean system without some of the software that was preloaded on the oem recovery disk.. i have to use windows recovery? or it will be the same as the toshiba one?
Thanks for possible reply :)
Nice day :)

Hello
Ill try to give some answers. ;)
1
First partition belongs to Win7 and it has nothing to do with Toshiba recovery image saved on HDD. This hidden partition is reserved for Toshiba recovery image. First partition should not be deleted. This small partition will be created before Windows installation starts. Leave it as it is.
Hidden partition should be there is you want to use HDD recovery installation but now when you have created recovery disc you can delete it and get more free space on HDD. If something goes wrong you can use created recovery disc for OS installation.
2
As I already wrote, when you have recovery disc you can do whatever you want but take care about this disc and place it on safe place.
3
Using created recovery disc you will have factory settings again and preinstalled OS as on the first day after purchase. If you want to have own OS installation you must use Microsoft installation disc.
If you have more questions you are welcome.

Re: Satellite A660-12P - can't find the right display driver for Win XP

Hey everyone, i need some help with this one:
I just made a dual boot Win7 (x64)/XP (x86) on my laptop, but i can't find the right display drivers for the video controller VGA compatible on XP.
Does someone know where i can find them?
Many thanks,

Yes, you get this message because you cannot install the nVidia rivers only executing the exe file.
If you want to install such drivers then you have to do this in device manager.
You have to force the notebook to choose the driver
You can do this choosing the advanced installation procedure which helps you to point to the driver files!

Can I delete the mac partition used to create the boot camp partition?

I am using Mac OS 10.9.5 on a late 2011 17" Macbook Pro.
I currently have an SSD in the primary drive slot with my primary Mac partition and an HDD in the Superdrive slot that has one unused Mac partition that I would like to delete and a Windows 8 partition that I would like to keep.
Can I delete the extra Mac partition on the HDD so I can use that as spare space? It was the Mac partition that was used to run Boot Camp and create the Windows 8 partition that is on the same drive so I am nervous that the Windows 8 partition needs to rely on that Mac partition to work for whatever reasons.
I recently went through a huge ordeal to create a Windows 8 Boot Camp partition as I wanted it on my computer. I had previously taken out the Superdrive and replaced it with a data doubler and the original hdd, and I had an aftermarket SSD in the primary drive bay. I had been using the SSD as my Mac partition and the HDD as spare storage space. For my Boot Camp config, I wanted to split the HDD into 2 partitions and make one Windows 8 and the other spare storage space while keeping the SSD dedicated to my Mac partition. Achieving that required removing the SSD, removing the data doubler, reinstalling the Superdrive, putting the original HDD back in the primary drive slot, installing and updating Mac OS on the HDD, using that Mac install to run Boot Camp and create a second partition for Windows 8, installing Windows from the Superdrive, and then putting everything back by taking out the Superdrive, putting the HDD back in the data doubler, and putting the SSD back in. Everything works now. Understandably I don't want to break anything and have to redo this process.
That said I do want to delete that extra Mac partition and use it as extra storage, if I can do so without breaking the Boot Camp Windows 8 partition.

Wrong advice. Do not use Disk Utility. Use Bootcamp Assistant to remove the Bootcamp partition and return the drive to a single OSx partition. Using Disk Utility will result in lost space, lost data, and possibly an unusable OSx partition. Read the Bootcamp help and user guides.

HT5621 how can I delete a primary e-mail addresse and replace it with a excisting Apple ID?

How can I delete a primary e-mail address and replace it with a excisting Apple ID?

An email address can only be used one account at a time, so if you want to replace it with an email address that is currently being used on another account then you will need to remove it from that account first before trying to put it on that account. You should be able to change the email address either by logging into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, or via http://appleid.apple.com

Can we delete Non-Primary Supplier ?

Hi Dear Friends,
Can we delete Non-Primary or Inactive supplier from the Application, Is there any possibility(In Front end or Backend).
And we are using Oracle Financials over ORMS.
Thanks in Advance,
Warm Regards,
rahul

Hi Rahul,
the UI has no delete option.
The message subscribers RMSAIASUB_SUPPLIER and RMSSUB_SUPPLIER do not implement a delete.
So the answer seems to be No.
A direct delete on the supplier table might be possible, of course after resolving any foreign key issues.
Best regards, Erik

I have a Bootcamp partition on my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do?

I have a Bootcamp partition on my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout in Disk Utility is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do? I was trying to install Windows 8.1 but apparently, this is not yet possible.
I was originally able to restore to my original Mac OSX partition using Boot Camp Assistant but then after entering Disk Utility and re-RAIDing the default RAID 1 to RAID 0 in the BootCamp partition (I suspect this is the cause of the problem but why was it defaulted to RAID 1 in the first place?!!!!), forever afterwards, I couldn't restore the single OSX partition.
Whenever I used BootCamp Assistant my choice to 'Install or remove Windows 7 or later version' was greyed out. Finally I went to Disk Utility to repartition but the Macintosh HD and BootCamp disk partition functions were also greyed out (even if I started up from Recovery mode holding down option, command and 'R' and choosing Disk Utility). BootCamp Assistant gives the error message 'The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition' with additional small script 'The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows', and DU gives the error message 'The full size of the Fusion drive is not available for repartitioning'.
What can I do to fix this problem? How can I make the Partition Layout button active in DU so I can change the partition to all OSX? I'm prepared to wipe off all my data etc to repartition and have backed up all to disk using Time Machine.

My problem is fixed now, thank you. It was caused by my changing the Boot Camp partition's 'RAID1' to 'RAID0'. If I hadn't done that, Boot Camp would still have been able to 'restore' back to the one partition. It was fixed with the help of Applecare by using a terminal and typing a command to erase the IP of the Macintosh disk (not the volume) as well as the IP of the Bootcamp partition (if I remember correctly), but then I had to restore the OS and all my applications and data etc which I had previously backed up using Time Machine. I haven't taken note of the exact command terminology used. It would be wise to speak to Applecare about this if possible.
Two words of warning, 1. According to the cause of this problem, it might be wise, after reinstalling the ops system to reinstall all extra applications one by one, manually, in case a similar problem arises again. Then manually copy back all data. Or the Mac user could use the Time Machine backup and then uninstall all the added apps then re-install them one by one manually. 2. Beware as after all this the user might not have the 'Recovery partition'. There is a small recovery partition (a few 100 Mb is size) which comes with all later Macs. After all this is done this tiny partition might not be there anymore and the user might have to re-install Mavericks again to get it back, or just install the upcoming update of Mavericks due in a month or so.

T500 - HDD for Ultrabay - can it be used for Recovery Media & Backups & Page File & data?

I'm learning to check first before buying things.
I am considering getting a generic ultrabay SATA adapter
http://cgi.ebay.com/SATA-adapter-IBM-THINKPAD-43N3412-R400-W500-X200S-R500-/130441260492
and a WD 7,200 HDD
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136278
Can the ultrabay HDD be used for Recovery Media, and also Backups, page file, and other data?
And can the Backups on this HDD be deleted, so only the last backup is present?
Also, is it possible to use a HDD in the ultrabay slot, without an adpater? My T500 is a desktop replacement currently, so the HDD wouldn't need to be protected from movement or bumps.
Thanks for any ideas

For all of you who know less than I do, a HDD in the ultrabay slot can be used as a Recovery boot, and for the R&R backups.
These must both be put on the primary partition of the HDD.
I believe, but can't test or confirm, that another partition (logical partition) could be added to the drive and used for page filing and data.

Can the USB NI DAQs be used for process control,eg.closed loop? or is too fast

can the USB NI DAQs be used for process control,eg.closed loop? or is too fast.

Hi mho,
1.usb is very high speed that is correct.Better you can choose PCI DAQ.But thats upto you.
2. see this:-
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/14136
3.If Matlab support TCP/IP, that could be an option.
see Another idea: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/244A37667BD7CBCE86257520007F937B
Another simplest way to do it (assuming you running Windows) is to use a Matlab script.
If both programs running on different systems:-
Most simple and slow - Create two VI's with shared variable on both machines, and use a matlab script to
share data. (this makes matlab some kind of "slave").
More advanced but still relatively slow (Create two VI's with shared variable, on the Matlab machine build the .NET
dll, and it can be used on Matlab too ( at least at 2010b version, earlier version support only COM).
Create TCP/IP connection between two comps.
There is "out of the box" NI products, that communicate with Simulink models.You please do a simple search on that...OK
I think this link is also helpful for you:-

Anyway All the best.Try....do it.

Why do you need to access your email? To reset the password?
If you're trying to change the password, you don't need to go to your email.
