SW failures after replacing T510 HDD and re-installing software from Lenovo Recovery Disks

Please help...
I have replaced the 320GB SATA drive in my T510 after the original one started to fail. But the resinstalled software (taken from the recovery partition on the old drive) hs problems.
I used the Lenovo Recovery Partition on the old drive to create a bootable Flash Drive in order to re-install to the new drive. It initially appeared that the recovery drive successfully reinstated Windows 7 and associated programs on the brand new (also Seagate 320GB SATA drive).
All was good, I thought - Until I tried Windows Update
Other things are not working well either - e.g. YouTube clips are not playing, IE is working very slowly to name but two.
Windows update fails with the message "Windows Update Cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer".
I have discovered on MS web site that there are fixes for this but the fixes I have tried do not work.
The fixes all seem to look for and check that BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) and Windows Update Srervices are running. I have checked and both services ARE runing but still I get the failure message.
When running the Microsoft Fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2730071
further errors are discovered stating that "troubleshooting was unable to fix all of the issues found.
"Problems installing recent updates - not fixed"
I have serached high and low and the only stuff I can find to fix windows update does not work.
If the replacement HDD was brand new.
Could it be that a BIOS update that took place at some point during the last year or two plus the recovery partition are somehow incompatible.
Could it be that the recovery partition has created an unusable version?
Advice on where to go next will be well received..
Solved!

Hello and welcome,
One of the things that can cause this is migrating to an advanced format hard drive (one with 4kb sectors). For some reason this confuses Windows Update - and some other things.

Windows 8.1 got corrupted and had to restore from HP recovery disk

My computer running 8.1 started cycling between IE 11 and the Windows 8.1 home screen. It would not stop so I had to initiate a recovery from my built in HP recovery drive. When I did this it wiped out my OFFICE 2010 installation. How do
I re-install? Doesn't Microsoft have the information that OFFICE 2010 was registered to my ACCOUNT? I am on travel and don't have access to the CD or the Access key.
Someone please help!

Hi,
If you cannot acess to the CD, you can get an Office 2010 installation package from below site, however, you have to enter your 25-character Product Key to download Office program:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/buy/netbook-FX101850729.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA101828496
The issue is how to get your product key.
If you have ever purchased, downloaded, and installed Office 2010 online, the key was associated with a Microsoft account. You may be able to recover the Office product key in the confirmation email you received when you purchased the product online.
Or you can just contact Microsoft support (https://support.microsoft.com/gp/contact_microsoft_customer_serv?&fr=1) as long as you have a valid proof of purchase.
otherwise, there is very little they can do.
You can refer to this article for more details:

[NB] X4200 RAID1 question - steps after replacing a HDD?

Hi,
I got an X4200 machine with LSI RAID controller, 2 HDD, configured as RAID1.
Question - after replacing a HDD, do I need to do anything for the data to be sunched on the new HDD, or is that automatic?
TIA,
P.S - looking at doc 819-1157-21 (Sun Fire x4200 service manual) sections E.4.1.1 & E.4.7 makes me more confused instead of answering my question...

Found it - http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4933-13 chapter 2, hot swapping - "The firmware supports hot swapping. The hot-swapped disk is automatically re-synchronized in the background, without any host or user intervention. The firmware detects hot swap removal and disk insertion. Following a hot swap event, the firmware readies the new physical disk by spinning it up and verifying that it has enough capacity for the mirrored volume. The firmware re-synchronizes all hot-swapped disks that have been removed, even if the
same disk is re-inserted. In a two-disk mirrored volume, the firmware marks the hot-swapped disk as the secondary disk and marks the other mirrored disk as the
primary disk. The firmware re-synchronizes all data from the primary disk onto the new secondary disk."

Just how do you do an internet recovery on a system that has a blank HDD with no operating system that the unit cannot boot from????
If your Mac came preinstalled with Lion or Mountain Lion after you install your new blank HDD, restart the Mac while pressing/holding the COMMAND+OPTION+R keys until you see a spinning globe. Make sure you have an Internet connection (WiFi or Ethernet). This will boot into Apple's Recovery HD servers and present you with the OS X Utilities Menu. From there you can select Disk Utility to format your new HDD and then reinstall Mac OS X for the OS that was preinstalled.
Internet Recovery doesn't care if you have an unformated HDD because it boots over the Internet to Apple's servers, not your HDD.

I believe that by your action, you removed the compatability VIs and it would appear that the Find Examples used the older queue functions that require the compatability VIs. I would suggest you revert back to the LLBs that were distributed with 6.1. The new queue functions are there for you to use in new development and older VIs won't be broken. You could also make a request to NI support to see about an updated Find Example that uses just the new VIs.

You can download the trial installer directly. Find the appropriate link below.
You must be on a trial download page to use the links, otherwise you get an error message.
For example, load the following page: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=us
before pasting the link into the address bar.
http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PHSP/13/win32/Photoshop_13_LS16.7z

You need to kepp both files downloaded into same folder and after download click on .exe file to extract .7z

Compaq presario cq56 black screen on boot up after replacing the fan and keyboard

Hi the cpu fan on my computer died, so we replaced it and i took the opertunity to replace the keyboard at the same time.
Now the fan works just fine the blue/white power button works, initially the caps lock button came on and stayed on but no longer comes on at all.
I am quite the novice in all things computer so think i may have done something stupid, and fried the motherboard, but if anyone could come up with something for me to try before i have to go through replacing that bit i would appreciate it.
Oh i have tried an external monitor and it says recieving no signal on the screen.
Thanks for helping

Hi @carriebevan
Welcome to the HP Community! I saw your post regarding the problem with the notebook going to a black screen after replacing the fan and the keyboard. To be honest with you there isn't a whole lot that I can do for you in this manner. Try seeing if you can get into the operating system using Safe Mode. If you can then we can look at a couple of things.

Replacing a hdd and installing Windows 7.... Help, please!!

I am not very technologically-minded.
I have a Toshiba Equium L40 laptop running Vista with a 120Gb hdd.
I thought it might be a good idea to upgrade the hdd and install Windows 7.
Am I right in thinking that the easiest way to do this would be to install the new hdd first [320Gb].
Then install the Toshiba Recovery disc [to install the appropriate drivers].
Then install Windows 7.
Is this the easiest/best way, guys?

Hi Clive..
Thanks for your advice.
Just to clarify, to follow your advice, would I download the device drivers first?
If so, from where? And which device drivers?
I would like to install the larger hdd (320Gb). I have already bought one - and I need it for all the media material I have now accumulated.
Would you suggest, therefore, simply installing the new hdd. And then installing Windows 7 (clean install). And then the device drivers?
I was originally thinking of installing the new hdd followed by an installation of the Vista recovery disc - since this would install enough device drivers and necessary Toshiba programmes to enable me to update device drivers thereafter.
I have never done this before. So if my proposed sequence of actions sounds 'bobbins', please excuse me!
[The man in the shop said installing a new hdd and then installing Windows 7 was easy if you knew what you were doing - but not at all easy if you didn't.]

Hi ... I had to replace my iPad and I want restore from backup but I forgot my password, is there any way of recovering it?

Hi ... I had to replace my iPad and I want restore from backup but I forgot my password, is there any way of recovering it?

Would the backup be password protected? I don't know ... After you restore from a back-up, and if you have passwords set up, would the newly restored iPad require a password or would it be "live" for 5 minute or however long the iPad was set to wait to require a password? Maybe wiser heads can advise...

My ipad 2 was stuck in recovery mode. i tried to connect it to itunes and restore but after downloading the file and extracting the software there is a pop up message that says "the device is full. Deleting files and emptying your recycle been will help you restore." how am i going to erase files if i can't open my ipad. i dont know what to do. Its been 2 days now. please help. thanks.

yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.

I did a backup from all my files saved in old external hd to time capsule. After that double checked and recover one file from TC to mac air and it worked just perfect. Today went through TC to recover another file and none of them were there?

It's good for that . . .

But not for that.
This older and not day-by-day usage files I want to store in the time machine.
You can do that (see below), but how are you going to back them up? If your only copies are on the TC, when (not if) it fails, you risk losing your only copy of the data.
Is it possible to split TC in two partitions.
No, but there are some workarounds, including making a fixed-size disk image on it to "reserve" some space. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.
But you still won't have backups of the stuff you put there.
You don't say what kind of Mac you have. If it's a desktop model, just keep the external HD connected to it, and let Time Machine back it up along with your internal HD.
However, it sounds like you may have a laptop, where that's not going to be convenient. In that case, your best bet might be to copy the external HD to a disk image on the TC as above, then keep the HD in a safe place.
To finish, when i enter the TC and go through the Time line how can I get a file from there and move it back to Mac hd.
Via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
You might also want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse the rest of the FAQ.

I had an issue running Bridge CS6 on my laptop yesterday and after failing to troubleshoot I un-installed it from my system but have yet to find any way to download/reinstall it. I have web design premium and tried uninstalling/reinstalling photoshop and illutsrator as I'd seen bridge was coupled with those but had no luck. Is it possible to download bridge as a stand alone with a web design premium license for cs6

restart your design premium installation, select custom install and you should see options to pick which programs you want to install.
tick bridge and install
