[SOLVED] How I resolved the "F11 not working" on a Pavilion dv7-1245dx

Alright everyone, this is my story....
Had Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
Purchased Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Perfomed a clean install of Win7 (I did not delete recovery partition)
I learned that you cannot simply perform a clean install of whatever OS you want on your laptop....the HP Media software that went along with my dv7 would not install on my new installation of Windows 7. It would extract the files and then nothing would happen, the installer would not run at all. GREAT.
I then thought about restoring to Vista using the recovery partition. When I pressed F11 at boot up it would just take me to the Windows boot menu and the option of booting inti my windows 7 installation.
After much reading and disgust with HP (primarily for MARRYING their pre-loaded software with their pre-loaded OS) I found out that you need to mark the recovery partition as your "ACTIVE PARTITION"
Right click on Computer -> Manage.
Go to Disk Management
Find your recovery partition and right click on it. Choose "Mark Partition as Active".
You will get a warning message about your system wont boot if no bootable OS files are in this partition, click on OK/Yes and continue.
Now reboot Windows 7.
Press F11
Ta-da! It's recovery mode loading
Once Recovery Manager loads you can follow the steps to restore your OS to it's original manufacturer state.
Now I have not gotten to the state of Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit installation and if it works with the media software. I am currently typing this up as the Win7 "upgrade" setup is moving along. I will post my results.
I hope this helps someone out there in the convoluted world of HP OS recovery.

Thanks a million, your post was very helpful..

How to resolve the start at work indication while creating a report templateby using CG42?

Dear Experts,
I am working as a EHS Consultant , i am doing a assignment for power industry,
Querry 1.
While i am creating a report template by using CG42, when am trying to specify the initial status as in work, or release, system is not taking that, its automatically shows start at work. option,
while i am creating report template i used below steps.
CG2B-generation varient(Initial satus i had put it as relleased)
CG42- Edit or create report template.

Querry 2.
And once i click the document option its given a information that
A report template is already being edited or displayed at front end.
I request yo u guide me how to trouble shoot this.
Thanks with regards
Vishwanath Hegde

Dear Viswa
For Query :2
Go to Utilities and click on "Rest front end" (refer below screen shot)
For Query :1
1) .Once you create the template the initial status will be "Star of work" and you should assign that template to respective Generation variant in CG2b.
2) Once you go in to report template through Cg42 , if you get above error , go to utilities click on " Rest front end" and edit the template and save the template without any errors , so automatically system status will be changed in to " In process on work station"
3) Once you finish the template creation with out any errors , you can click on Release , then the template status will be released.

Can't get sound working on my Pavilion DV7-1245dx! Please Help!

To start, I do have (fail) Vista,
For a while now, my touch buttons for the volume on my laptop have stopped working and the mute button is stuck on (ie. it is constantly lit up) and I get no sound. I click the unmute button from the volume control and still no sound. I've tried to uninstall the one sound driver and reinstall it but the sound driver/ ( or whatever) was no longer there after I rebooted the computer and attempted to reinstall. Before I uninstalled the one sound driver I had 3 different devices in the sound portion of the device manager. Now I only have 2, which are: (1) High Definition Audio Device and (2) IDT High Definition Audio CODEC. I have tried to "ADD Legacy Hardware" from the Device Manager in hopes to reinstall the missing device I need but every IDT sound option I tried to install resulted in "My computer was denied the install" or something lame like that.
Can anyone (or possibly a HP support whom I don't have to pay because I am out of warranty) could help me solve this problem?
Thank you very much.

Try reinstalling the Microsoft UAA Driver.

You don't. Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Instead of creating a new ID, change the primary email address on your existing ID.

How to resolve the loop in universe level

how to resolve the loop in universe level

Hi, Kashim
In univese level loops resolved by Chasm Trap and Fan Trap methods.
Chasm Trap: A chasm trap is a type of join path between three tables when two many-to-one joins converge on single table, and there is no context in place that separate the converging join paths.
There is "many-to-one-to-many"relationship beween the three tables in the universe structure.you can define a context for each table at the many end of the joins.
A chasm trap is not dependent on the object types, the query could be made up of only dimensions,only details,or only measures,or any combination of the three types with the "many " tables for chasm to occure.
you can also detect the chasm trap Automatically, tool---->Detect context
To resolve the chasm trap, you need to make two separate Queries and than combine the results Depending on type of objects defined for the fact tables and the type of end user environment,
Fan trap: it is occured when there is a "one-to-many" join to the table that "fans out " into another "one-to-many" join to another table.
Avoid fan trap: The first place by relating all measure objects in the universe to the same table in the universe structure,Avoid placing a measure on anything other than the last table in a in a table path, which is the table with the "many" cardinality attached to it.
This methods is not recomended as it only works for measure objects and may result in inefficienies in processing the query. This resolution works the same for chasm and fan traps.
you can create more alias tables based on your requirement in single universe. and it is true conext, when two or more paths.
Theese methods also apply for resolving loops:
Short cut join also one method for resolving loops
Aggregate aware function used another waty for resolving loops
if you are not resolving the loop result is redusing the number of records.
