  • K7T Turbo2 - how do I tell BIOS to boot from USB?

    I have an old K7T Turbo2 system, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 on it.  I guess that's my first question - am I going to run into any nasty problems running W7 on this board, other than RAM limitations?  I have a version of "Tiny7" (which installs from CD-ROM) installed already and it seems fine, but I'd rather run a fuller non-pirated OS, and that means installing from a DVD/iso.  I don't have a DVD drive installed and it would be a bit of a pain to acquire one, so I'm hoping to boot from USB to winstall W7.
    I have a PCI USB2.0 card installed in the system, which seems to work fine.  I've set the BIOS to boot from USB-FDD (but I've also tried USB-CDROM and USB-ZIP).  I have BIOS 3.6.  I've tried booting from the PCI USB2.0 hub (will that ever work or does the BIOS not recognize it?) and from the regular USB1 port on the mobo (but my USB flash drive is USB2).
    Is there something else I need to do in the BIOS to get this to work?  Will it never work no matter what I do? 
    I read somewhere about a BIOS setting to "enable legacy USB support" but can't see anything like that in my BIOS settings. 
    Any suggestions?  (thanks in advance)

    If there is no option to boot from USB-HDD then it may never work.
    Long shot I know, but what if you connect your USB drive, then power on your system, and press F11 when the logo/POST screen appears, does the drive show in the Boot Menu that appears?

    Really? DVD drives are very common, and cheap as chips! You can pick up a brand new DVD writer, for the price of a (good) DVD movie.

    Now I want to know how to setup javabean on forms so that I can make my form work it way it should work. Please help.

    you can get samples of using javabeans in forms in the form section of the otn.
    but let me suggest something that might be simpler.
    create the file on the server and then use:
    web.show_document('url of file on server');
    this will cause the file to download to the client.

  • How to set time in Dual-boot config with Windows 8.1

    Hi,
    I have been trying to workaround this problem i am having with Arch linux and Windows 8.1 time settings.
    According to Installation guide on Wiki I set hardware clock to UTC and added my local time zone too.
    But my Windows 8.1 uses hardware clock a local time and it is really confusing me.
    I did tried to setup Windows 8.1 to use UTC (http://superuser.com/questions/494432/f … bios-clock)
    but that settings is not working on my side (most Windows 8.1 users are also getting the same problem)
    Please help.

    I have two laptops which are dual booted arch and Windows 8.1.  For both of those machines I set the Windows clock to be UTC instead of local using the method in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ti … in_Windows (i.e. creating the .reg file and executing it - take care that the .reg file is created correctly with the .reg extension or it won't execute).  I still allow Windows 8.1 to update its time from the network and it does not cause a problem, though the advice is to let Arch do the time synchronisation. (That may be because it is not yet summertime so I will also disable time sync in Windows before the change to summertime at the end of this month). I also followed the normal install advice for Arch and have the hardware clock in UTC, and have chrony set up to keep time in sync.  Additionally I use KDE and have my normal timezone with DST adjustments for summertime.  I have not had any problem with that way of working on either of my two machines.
    I presume that if the Windows clock registry hack is done after the dual boot install it should not matter but I made that change before installing Arch.

    AirPort Utility is the application that must be used to setup and make any configuration changes to the AirPort Express. I'm not aware of an "App" for this.
    If you could borrow a computer from someone there for 30 minutes or maybe use the computer in the lobby, you could download AirPort Utility and reconfigure your Express. To help with setup, use an ethernet cable from the computer to the Express to help AirPort Utility "see" the Express.

  • BIOS Changed Boot Order By Itself

    I have a Pavilion H8-1360t. When I got it in March I installed a Samsung SSD. I copied the original Hard Drive to the SSD and made the SSD my boot drive. I also swapped the SATA ports becasue the HDD was on the high speed on. For the next 4 months I've been booting every morning and shutting down at night with no problems. The SSD boots quick and again, no problems. The SSD was my C drive and the original HDD was now my F. I only used it for Ghost backups of the C drive. I also Ghost to an external USB3 drive.
    This morning when I booted I noticed that all my icons were missing as was all my data and all my programs I had installed. AFter some research I found, in the Computer display of my system, that my SSD was now the F drive and the original HDD was now my C drive. So I was booting using the original HDD that came with the system.
    I tried to figure out how to tell the BIOS to boot from the SSD as it had been, but I cannot figure out which drive in the display list is it and besides that I want it to do that by default. I'd also like to know how or why the PC decided to reassign thedrive letters and boot from the HDD now.
    HP refuses to help saying that since I have user installed devices they do not have the tools to help. They also cannot tell me how to get the Boot Order changed. But even if I could do that, and I've tried going into BIOS setup and Boot Priority, I cannot get it to boot using the SSD. HP suggested I go to some third party. But there's got to be a solution I can do. My last choice would be to copy the entire SSD to the HDD (the SSD id only 500GB and the HDD is a Terrabyte). I assume then that when it would boot from the HDD the data I copied over to it (using Ghost) would make it look then like the SSD did. My loss would be speed but at least I'd have critical data that I now cannot access.
    I am really up the creek right now Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I took the PC to Fry's. They think there's a problem with the SSD. Even though I am able to see it and to move data off of it, there is some problem during boot that tells W7 and BIOS that is cannot boot and that is what is causing the system to then look for another boot drive. It then finds the hard drive, which came with the system and is connected, and is bootable, and thus it boots from that drive and also remaps the drive letters, effectively swapping the C and F between the SSD and HDD.
    Now I am trying to move all my data to the HDD, install Office and other programs, and just boot to the HDD until I can get the SSD examined for problems and a new one, if necessary, put in.
    PC's are such a joy.

    You can set credentials only for those targets whish are registered in GRID and are visible in console.
    hosts must be already registered and visible in console.. and they must appear in hosts list...
    Once they are visible, then follow the steps to set credentials and there you will find the host name..

  • HT4759 I am trying to set up icloud on my Macbook. I was using the step by step guide on your site but when I open system perferences I do not have the icloud icon under internet and wireless. How do I get it?

    I am trying to set up icloud on my macbook, I was using the step by step guide on the site but when I try go into system perfences in there is no icloud icon under internet and wireless. How do I get it?

    This is presumably because you are running an earlier system than Lion. (Please always post your system when you have a question.)
    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
      You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
      If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

  • How to set execution time of the step with business days in the workflow

    As we know, we can set how many days later the step should be execuated after previous step. now, the problem is how to set the business days (days except sunday and sataurday) for it. any one has good solution on it.

    Hi Nick,
    In order to find the Next working day you need to check for the Factory calendar days for eg, if a workitem has invoked today and if the Approver doesn't release the workitme for which u want to send a mail/reminder to the approver after say next 5or 6 working days, you need to create a function module.
    For eg: In case of Purchase order, if the approver doesn't release the PO .
    Create a Method saying "Next working day" , in which you will be passing the import parameters : PO, Factory calendar day and the sy-datum
    and export parameter : date.
    Create Input date and No of days as container elements of the Task and in the method create a Function module
    In case of PO, consider the Factory calendar key from the T001W  by joining the table EKPO there by passing the PO.
    then pass the date, No of days(say 5 days) and the Factory calendar key  to the "WDKAL_DATE_ADD_FKDAYS" , you will get the next working day of the employee.
    Don't forget to check the Binding properly.
    Do implement this logic and check the same.

    Could someone please explain to me how to set-up my Apple ID so that both my password AND security questions have to be answered before access is granted? Is this possible? I am not very computer smart, so could you explain step-by-step!Very Appreciated!

    The security questions will only be asked on the first purchase on a computer or device (though people have occasionally posted that they've asked for them when it isn't the first time) - I'm not aware of any way to change that. You can force the password to be required on your iPad via Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password set to 'Immediately' (the default is a 15 minute period during which it doesn't need re-entering)

  • How do I set up my Xfinity Gateway modem Wifi with my Airport using same IP address?  I need step by step instructions.

    I want to use Xfinity Gateway modem WIFI with my Apple Airport, using same IP address.  Apple store says this will work. I need step by step instrucions on how to do this.
    Thank you

    I have had the AirPort for 5+ years.  Have had a Comcast modem for even longer.  My husband and I have iPads.  We can only get wifi connection within a very short range of our AirPort.  I noticed that Comcast/Xfinity was advertising their new Gateway modem with extended wireless wifi so I turned in my old modem to Comcast and picked up the new Gateway model.  After going through several issues with Comcast I tried to install my new modem and was told by Comcast that I cannot use both the Gateway modem and my Airport for WIFI, it's one or the other.  I went to the Apple store and asked the same question and was told that I can have both connected using the same IP address for both.  I am not very computer savy and need some basic, one step at a time instructions on how to add the Xfinity modem to my existing AirPort network for extending my WIFI.  I think I expained that correctly. 
    The Comcast cable is connected to my Modem and then there is another connection between the modem and the AirPort via USB cord.
    Is there somewhere on the AirPort/TimeCapsule device that tells me the exact model of my AirPort?
    Thank you for any advice you can give me.
