Using Recovery Disk (Windows 8) - How can I use it without partitioning?

Whenever I install windows I add new partitions with lots of data added to them. But when I need to fresh install Lenovo Windows 8 OEM, it deletes all partitions because they are resized and formats everything and reverts to its designed partition structure. I do not want that. In normal (non-OEM) Windows I can install it to the system partition and it does not touch other partitions sizes or data inside it. Is there any way to do this with Windows 8 Lenovo OEM? I downloaded Windows 8 (non-OEM) from Microsoft - but it did not let my Lenovo OEM serial - it says it is for OEM version, not retail. How can I accomplish what I am trying to do?

Hi Dweata,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to inform you that re-installing the Windows 8 OS (Operating System) using the created Recovery Media will take back the computer to factory settings and which same with the partitions. Hence a separate OS drive cannot be created as Non-OEM OS, to perform this a new Windows 8 should be purchased as the recovery media when created will be in encoded format and changes cannot be made.
Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

  • I live the Most Time in Germany and use the German App Store: how can I use the British one while I'm in Britain?

    How can I change my App Store to another country?

    Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
    In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
    You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.
    Note however, I would not recommend keep changing stores, in some instances you may find yourself locked out from changing back for 90 days.

  • How can i use index in select query.. facing problem with the select query.

    Hi Friends,
    I am facing a serious problem in one of the select query. It is taking a lot of time to fetch data in Production Scenario.
    Here is the query:
      SELECT * APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE tbl_summary
        FROM ztftelat LEFT JOIN ztfzberep
         ON  ztfzberep~gjahr = st_input-gjahr
         AND ztfzberep~poper = st_input-poper
         AND ztfzberepcntr  = ztftelatrprctr
        WHERE rldnr  = c_telstra_accounting
          AND rrcty  = c_actual
          AND rvers  = c_ver_001
          AND rbukrs = st_input-bukrs
          AND racct  = st_input-saknr
          AND ryear  = st_input-gjahr
          And rzzlstar in r_lstar                            
          AND rpmax  = c_max_period.
    There are 5 indices present for Table ZTFTELAT.
    Indices of ZTFTELAT:
      Name   Description                                               
      0        Primary key( RCLNT,RLDNR,RRCTY,RVERS,RYEAR,ROBJNR,SOBJNR,RTCUR,RUNIT,DRCRK,RPMAX)                                          
      005    Profit (RCLNT,RPRCTR)
      1        Ledger, company code, account (RLDNR,RBUKRS, RACCT)                                
      2        Ledger, company code, cost center (RLDNR, RBUKRS,RCNTR)

      Z02    RYEAR-RBUKRS- RZZZBER-RLDNR       
    Can anyone help me out why it is taking so much time and how we can reduce it ? and also tell me if I want to use index number 1 then how can I use?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Shiva,
    I am using two more select queries with the same manner ....
    here are the other two select query :
    ***************1************************
    SELECT * APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE tbl_summary
        FROM ztftelpt LEFT JOIN ztfzberep
         ON  ztfzberep~gjahr = st_input-gjahr
         AND ztfzberep~poper = st_input-poper
         AND ztfzberepcntr  = ztftelptrprctr
        WHERE rldnr  = c_telstra_projects
          AND rrcty  = c_actual
          AND rvers  = c_ver_001
          AND rbukrs = st_input-bukrs
          AND racct  = st_input-saknr
          AND ryear  = st_input-gjahr
          and rzzlstar in r_lstar             
          AND rpmax  = c_max_period.
    and the second one is
    *************************2************************
      SELECT * APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE tbl_summary
        FROM ztftelnt LEFT JOIN ztfzberep
         ON  ztfzberep~gjahr = st_input-gjahr
         AND ztfzberep~poper = st_input-poper
         AND ztfzberepcntr  = ztftelntrprctr
        WHERE rldnr  = c_telstra_networks
          AND rrcty  = c_actual
          AND rvers  = c_ver_001
          AND rbukrs = st_input-bukrs
          AND racct  = st_input-saknr
          AND ryear  = st_input-gjahr
          and rzzlstar in r_lstar                              
          AND rpmax  = c_max_period.
    for both the above table program is taking very less time .... although both the table used in above queries have similar amount of data. And i can not remove the APPENDING CORRESPONDING. because i have to append the data after fetching from the tables.  if i will not use it will delete all the data fetched earlier.
    Thanks on advanced......

  • How can i use connection pool within the sqlj?

    hello
    i am a beginner to sqlj,i find all of the sample code from the oracle DON'T use connectionpool,they only write the database url to "connection.properties" file,but i think in the production environment we should use the connectionpool to optimise the querying,i usually use the weblogic connection pool.
    how can i use the connection pool within the sqlj?
    thank you very much!

  • How can we use cl_gui_html_viewer      in a background process.

    Hello,
    Refering to this thread: Pie chart using Class cl_igs_chart ??
    How can we use cl_gui_html_viewer     in a background process.
    I want to execute a html code in bakground process in abap program.
    but using cl_gui_html_viewer   I have an error with CNTL_ERROR in the method CONSTRUCTOR;
    Thanks

    Marie,
    I don't know about HTML viewer specifically, but whenever a GUI object is needed to be used in background, there is a standard method to avoid CNTL_ERROR.
    When a program runs in background, there is no "screen" and hence no GUI, and hence a custom control can not be displayed. That is why the program generates an error.
    The trick is to avoid creating the custom control in background.
      if sy-batch = 'X'. "background mode
    *   We don't want to create the custom control
      else. "dialog mode
        create object l_container exporting ...
      endif.
    * We really don't need a container for using CL_GUI_ objects
    * Proceed with the normal coding
      create object l_html_viewer
      exporting
        parent = l_container

    If you're not going to use the drive on a Windows machine, you should use Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder) to erase the drive and format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition (default):
    Good luck,

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.
