  • Need to order recovery disks, how can I tell if I need 32 or 64 bit without an OS?

    I'm trying to repair someones laptop.  It's a g60 and they dont have recovery disks.  The hard drive has crashed so I can't use windows to find out if i need a 32 or 64 bit version.  HP's website can't determine this by model number, serial or anything and is asking me what version i need when i try to order recovery disks.  It tells me I should use windows to figure this out.  (why would I need to order recovery disks, if windows was still working?????)  Anyway. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • How can I deploy by command line on AS 10.1.3?

    I have used oracle AS 10.1.3.
    I have created ear file from command line.
    But I don't know how i can deploy by command line?
    However i can deploy from Web manage.
    So, Please tell me How i can deploy by command line when i want?
    Thx

    Hello,
    In OracleAS 10g R3 (10.1.3.x) you can deploy by command line using the admin_client.jar utility, that is exposed also as Apache Ant tasks. In 10.1.3.x you can use the same tool to deploy in a single stand alone OC4J instance to a multi-nodees cluster managed by OPMN.
    Here the documentation about this utility:
    - Deployment Guide
    - Deploying with the admin_client.jar Utility
    -Deploying with the OC4J Ant Tasks

  • How can I boot into PartedMagic from a USB drive on a newer MacbookPro?

    Hello,
    has anyone successfully booted into PartedMagic (or Gparted) from USB drive on a newer (2014) Macbook Pro? If so how? I've tried multiple ways of "burning" my ISO file to the USB drive but in no case am I able to boot into it. I seems to freeze a few seconds into the boot process. Somewhere I've read it might have something to do with EFI but I am not sure.
    Looking forward to your feedback. JW

    These are mpeg files probably mpeg 2 which iMovie won't import without conversion. Will they open in Quicktime player? If so do a command i and see what the inspector says about the file. MPEG Streamclip is a free app that will convert the Mpeg 2 to .Mov which iMovie will accept although it does require a converter you buy from Apple at $19 I think. Other converters are available just google for them.

  • How can I boot to command prompt in w2003K

    I have to access regedit to change the registry before my machine will boot.
    Cannot log in to windows at all.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Surely you didn't edit the one and only copy. This one might help.

    If you ever backed up the reg you could restore the system hive from
    %windir%\repair\regback\
    Failing that you could use the as-installed system hive from
    %windir%\repair\
    The system hive contains the driver registrations and the system services configurations. Most likely is at least reinstalling the hardware and applications.

  • I want to restore imac to like new for wife but never got a restore or reinstall disk how can i do this

    I want to reset my old imac to the facotry settings and start from scratch for the wife I have the new one and niether came with a recovery disk how can i do this....

    Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I lost my emac G4 installation disk, how can i get my admin password back?

    I lost my emac G4 installation disk, how can i get my admin password back?

    Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
    1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
    2. wait for terminal show
    3. release keys
    4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
    5. press enter
    6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
    7. press enter
    8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
    9. press enter
    This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
    Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
    http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
    Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
    To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
       1. Reboot
       2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
       3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
              * mount -uw /
              * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
              * shutdown -h now
       4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!
     Cheers, Tom

  • Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and BBP

    Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and MBP when I purchased them. When I look at the App Store, it dose not show ML as purchased (to download again) - do I have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    NGI

    do i have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
    No. You can still make a bootable recovery DVD, but you will not be able to make a full bootable copy of ML without purchase.
    1) Enable the debug menu for Disk Utility via Terminal Application. Navigate to terminal by typing "terminal" in   spotlight. Copy the bolded text below and enter it into the command prompt:
    defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool true ; open -a "Disk Utility" ; exit
    2) From the Debug Menu > Select Show every Partition > Recovery HD should appear
    3) Right click (control + click) the Recovery HD partition and select "Mount"
    4) Right click again the partition again > "Reveal Recovery HD in Finder". Leave this window open
    5) At this point, you will need open terminal again and enter the following command:
    sudo chflags nohidden /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.dmg ; exit
         Type your password when prompted.
    6) Navigate back to the Recovery HD finder Window > com.apple.recovery.boot > BaseSystem.dmg
    7) Drag "BaseSystem.dmg" into Disk Utility's sidebar.
    8) Insert your DVD
    9) Select "BaseSystem.dmg" in the sidebar and hit "Burn"
    Once the burn is completed, hold option down at startup and select the DVD to boot. This is a bootable Recovery partition, not a bootable copy of ML.
    Note: to disable the debug menu,
    defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool false

  • Erased startup & Recovery disks, how to re-install Lion?

    My Macbook Air shipped with Lion. I was trying to do a wipe and fresh install of Lion becuase my Air was running super slowly. I accidentally did erased the entire bootable disk which was alraedy running Lion 10.7, including the Recovery partition.
    I want to reinstall Lion and I know about booting into Recovery mode, but since the Recovery partition was erased and obviously isn't detected on boot, how can I reinstall?
    Command-R doesn't let me connect and redownload Lion from the App Store, I only get a grey screen with a folder-? when I boot...
    Help!!

    One thing I definitely ought to have mentioned: the way I erased the HD was by booting from a Snow Leopard disk, running Disk Util, and erasing/formatting the Macintosh HD at the top-level (below in red).
    Note: the image is a random one I edited off google and my drive is a 150GB SSD that only displayed a single partition.

  • How can I boot from my recovery dvd to reach the system recovery C: on a extern hard disc

    I think a have a virus in my notebook Pavilion 15 and want to restore my C partition with a system back up. I made this system back up a month ago and it is stored on a extern hard disc. I have also made a recovery dvd. How can I boot my notebook from my dvd to start the procedure? I have 2 partions on my notebook. The second partition contains My Documents.
    Thanks in advance.
    Tineke

    It is unlikely that the back-up of the system recovery, that you have stored on an external drive, will be useful in recovering your computer. Please see HP PCs - Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), for instructions on using the HP Recovery Disc set your created earlier. Typically, the disc set is 4 to 6 DVDs.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • How can I boot my PXI controller into real-time without a floppy disk?

    My PXI controller is in a lab which has intense magnetic fields that could corrupt the floppy disk used to boot the PXI controller into the LabVIEW Real-Time (RT) Operating System. How can I boot the PXI controller into real-time directly from the hard drive?

    If you are using LabVIEW 5.1.2 Real-Time (RT), launch Remote System Explorer and select Disks >> Create Format Hard Drive Disk. If you have LabVIEW 6 RT, launch the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and select Tools >> RT PXI Disk Utilities >> Create Format Hard Drive Disk (LabVIEW RT 6 has not be released yet). Once you have created the disk, boot the PXI controller with the Format Hard Drive Disk, and this will format the PXI's hard drive and install the real-time OS boot loader. Now you can reboot the PXI without a floppy disk and configure the PXI using Remote System Explorer or MAX. Be aware that this will remove all information from the hard drive, including other operating systems.

  • My computer crashed and I lost everything. It was the only computer with Sync on it and I cannot get my recovery key: how can I get all my bookmarks from that Sync account?

    My computer crashed and I lost everything. It was the only computer with Sync on it and I cannot get my recovery key: how can I get all my bookmarks from that Sync account? I have a ton of bookmarks/saved password and the only way to get on sync is create a new recovery key and lose all of my information.
    Is there any way to get my stuff back without creating a new recovery key and losing all my old stuff?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a  backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
