What do I need for a clean installation

Recently I bought the T61p Thinkpad along with the preinstalled Vista Ultimate. I'm most satisfied about the system and its performance. However due to heavy(read crappy) preinstalled software the performance is wors than my other almost 8 years old laptop. Therefor I want to do a clean installation of the system software. My question is, what do I need when it comes to my OS when I decide to choose one partition and do a full format of my hd. I have read several online tutorials on this issue but there's no info on what you need for this other than "a Vista CD" Does this mean I have to buy a new 'retail Vista Windows' or an 'OEM Vista Windows'(from Lenovo or any other shop?) or can I use the discs that came with the system listed beneath? And do I need to make a copy of all preinstalled progams and drivers or are they on the 8 discs?
What do I have already: Along with the Thinkpad there came 8 discs:
- 'Rescue and Recovery CD'
- 'Supplemental Product Recovery CD for type 6480,.....,.....etc.'
- '6x 'Product Recovery CD for ThinkPad T61,R61 Type 6480,.....,......etc'
Furthermore I've read something on this forum about the Intel turbomem and its NV cache??? Is this something to take in consideration when doing a clean install?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I post this in the other message and it may help you. Here is the steps for clean install for T61p (without Turbo memory):
1. Install you own Vista (you don't need to backup the original, Lenovo Thinkpad has the backup)
2. Install your firewall if you have one;
3. Plug in internet cable and download "automatic system update from Lenovo- system update
3.13" (here is the link: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/TVSU-UPDATE.html#hp) and install it. (The system update software can download all the drivers for you)
4. Before run the System update, adjust internet setting (internet option-->connection-->Lan setup-->disable automatic search (the first one)), otherwise the software'll be interrupted in the middle.
5. Run system update and download the drivers and softwares you need.
6. Download and install Video card driver: Either FM570 from Lenovo (for 3D work) or 8600GT(for gaming). (I just installed FM570 from Lenovo website cause I am using it for CAD as well)
Then........................
Tips for speed up the Vista (dramaticly~~!):
Control Panel-->System-->Advance system setup-->Advance-->Performence
-->>Advance-->virtual memory (change)-->Choose no page files
The reason for this is that HD almost does the most hard work in the latop and virtual memory will increase the most work load for it. Since we have 4GB ram, we don't need virtual memory and relase HD's load.

What is the procedure for a clean installation retaining all data?

I'm preparing for Lion and would like t make sure that I install on a clean system. I've had Time Machine running for a couple of years but being a conservative computer user I would like a secondary backup of all data from my three user accounts on this iMac. Is there a preferred documented procedure for this task, keeping in mind that Lion is reported to be available only as a download.

Nobody who knows can say. The published stuff isn't clear on the point, so we'll have to wait for the announcement.
In theory, you may be able to clone your SL installation to an external, download the installer to it, then erase the internal and install it there, but we really don't know yet.
Especially since Snow Leopard, though, clean installs rarely accomplish anything. Installing just gets a fresh copy of OSX and the default Apple apps, without leaving any detritus behind. Any number of folks haven't done one in many years, with no ill effects.
Yes, secondary backups are strongly recommended. See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for some suggestions.

What patches are needed for OCS R1 singlebox Windows installation

Hi there,
I'm trying to install OCS R1 on Windows 2000 server and I wanted to know if I need any patch to perform the installation.
I'm following the Note 221812.1 and according to it I have created email accounts as mailadmin (System Administrator) and now I should apply the patch 2606325, but I don't know if this is required for Windows. It probably is, because I skip this step and test the mail system by sending mails between the accounts already created and I get a message which says that: an error has occurred at attempting to send the message.
I don't know if this is due to the fact that I haven't applied the patch or due to something else...
I would appreciate any help.
Best regards,
Jorge

I tried to check out that note of yours, i think it no longer exists, the same goes for the patch number.
Anyway from my linux install as far as the installation goes, there was no need for patches ocs installs without them. However if you want to use something like workflow for files, then you need a few patches.
Firstly you need to patch which is applied after your workflow installation - i cannot rememeber its number, but you should find it in eithr the files admin guide or files release notes for 9.0.3.
In addition to that, when you install workflow, you also need to add a few languages, which if you do not with result in your workflow/files integration failing.

Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting. Went to Mexico and now can't get the texting to work at all on ipad. Thanls

Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting. I went to Mexico and when I returned the texting does not work on my ipad. The support at Apple wanted to charge me to get info.
THanks

Can't address the problem directly, cause even though my iPad4 is Cell+Wi-Fi, I've never put a SIM in it and never had the need to text, SMS or iMessage, from it. When away from the office or home wireless network, I tether it off the iPhone. Skype, both text and video, work just fine thru the Wi-Fi link, though.
HOWEVER, when I was hashing out the contract details to get the iPhone 5 about 14 months ago at Telcel, the representative distinctly mentioned that both Visual Voicemail as well as iMessages would be included in the package and they would be mandatory cause "I was getting a (subsidized) Apple iPhone" on a 24 month leash. Then when the gizmo came out of its box for SIM installation and activation, she went thru the motions of making sure both were working properly. So I assume the carrier has some say in the matter.

You decide which one by the way you use "new".

No power adaptor is needed as the power units are auto-switching. But you will need wall outlet adaptors such as you will find in Apple's World Travel Kit, at AAA stores, and other vendors.

What Equipment is Needed for CCNP Security Lab

Hello,
Im Looking to find out what Devices are needed for a ccnp security home lab. I keep hearing that 2 5510's are a must for labbing. The downside Is the Prices avg $800 each on the low end. I also saw some ppl had an ips in their lab. Im looking to find out what is 100% needed. I alredy have a lab in place used for my ccnp r&s.
Thanks

I would also say that two ASAs is a must to practice with them. But in my opinion, 2 5505 SecPlus are enough. What are the differences to the 5510? You configure subinterfaces instead of vlan-interfaces. But that's something you know from R/S. And the failover is only stateless, but failover in general also works. Sof if you find these ASAs for less money, take them. IPS is probably the topic where most CCNP Security students are least familar with. So owning a sensor would also help.
And don't forget that the bigger CCIE-Training vendors have complete labs for rent with all you need for CCNP Sec preparation. That could also save some money.

What all is needed for this type of Flash Design Studio

What all is needed for this type of Flash Design Studio.
There are a couple of sites out there that use both flash and
shockwave. I am looking ot get somethign like this started and need
some help getting pointed in the right direction. here are some
examples:

Rclarkhaddock,

Of the examples you showed, I saw Flash (Adobe Flash),
Shockwave (Adobe
Director), and JavaScript, but never a combination on the
same site. (It
might make sense to combine Flash with JavaScript or
Shockwave with
JavaScript, but not really to combine Flash with Shockwave.)
> I am looking ot get somethign like this started and need

Any of the above technologies will do it. You could also use
a Java
applet or even a .NET solution of some kind, so the choice
you take will
depend largely on what platform you want to support and code
for. This sort
of project will require significant amounts of custom
programming. My
personal approach would be to use Flash, mainly because of
the popularity of
the plugin. The Shockwave example looks beautiful, and I
started out years
ago using Director, but fewer people nowadays have the
Shockwave plugin
installed. It doesn't look like any of the sites shown use 3D
modeling,
which is the only relevant feature that Shockwave has over
the other
approaches. JavaScript (probably some Ajax approach) would
work -- as
seen -- but then you're dealing with compatibility issues
among various
JavaScript implementations in the great variety of browsers
out there.
Flash minimizes that, in my opinion.
All you really "need" to produce what you've seen is Flash
and some sort
of database back end (MySQL, say), which means you'll need a
bit of
middleware (PHP, ASP, Cold Fusion, etc.) to act as your
ambassador between
Flash and the database.

What permission is needed for a login to access the restored database(backup from different server)

what permission is needed for a login to access the restored database(backup from different server)
frequently reach the situation, when vendor restores a database, but he cannot access it unless I remap or add his login to the restored database. What permssion can grant the vendor so that he can but only can access the database he restored, not all other
databases.

Hi George,
According to your description, When you move a database from one server that is running SQL Server to another server that is running SQL Server, a mismatch may occur between the security identification numbers (SIDs) of the logins in the master database
and the users in the user database. As other post, you can use the sp_change_users_login stored procedure to map SQL Server logins. Also , you can use the following statement after doing the restore database. It will
fix the mis-mapped SID inside the restored DB.
ALTER USER <username> WITH LOGIN = <username>
For more information, you can review the following article.

What software is needed for system recovery? (cont'd)

What software is needed for system recovery of a Toshiba Satellite Pale8u-02p01D (also known as L355D-S7901) running Vista?
If I can just get the name/number for the recover software I will get it from eBay.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Satellite L355D-S7901
If you want to look for that on eBay, look for the recovery discs for the model above. I doubt you'll find them there.
You can order them from Toshiba, of course.
   Order Toshiba Recovery Media
And you might get them cheaper from a third-party vendor.

MSI 1950pro VIVO. What software I need for video-in?

Hi.
I am currently using MSI radeon1950pro pcie card. It has VIVO connector too. I tried yesterday to plug my Playstation2 to the card as I dont have TV, well i didint get to play as i dont know what software i should use for that. I installed ati's suplied radeon1950 pro driver package. I also tried to install wdm driver, and some multimedia center stuff, which promptly notices that it will only work/install with all-in-wonder card.
I also tried with Dscaler and AMcap, but neither of them can find any video capture driver or so.
I would need to get analog videosignal opened in some program that can handle fullscreen mode, so I could play my Playstation trough my PC screen
Someone who has done something similar, or just done something with video in pls tell me what software I need..

I have catalyst 6.11 installed.
I have also installed WDM driver, at least the installer goes trough.
I have installed also avivo decoders/encoder files from ati, in addition to this i have installed multimedia center, and some extra kits for it. Like dao/mac, dvd/dtv decoder and some encoder package. I have installed practically all files that i can find from ati.
Firstly i notice that multimedia center installation creates zero shortcuts, so finding this software is bit hard. Or if it did not install anything, the installer didint notify me, just quit .. cant be sure about this.
I have also installed Dscaler (tv viewer, that should be able to read video-in, atelast from nvidia cards). I have also installed microsoft media encoder, which is somekind stream capture tool / video encoding tool.
Problem is that no software detects that this card has VIVO.
I need to know how to get some damn driver installed so that the video-in comes as visible capture device and then some program to show it.
Is this somehow related to fact, that ati is offering different driver kit for 1950pro cards? I tried with those drivers yesterday, but they didint help at all.
am I doing wrong?
