What does the recovery CD contain - Satellite A100-847

Hello guys
I had a few questions about the recovery CD:
1- What does the recovery CD contain? and the other CD which is called Media something?
2- Does it have Windows in it? So I can format my PC using it? And from where can i find the product key (windows key)
3- What if i wanted to use the CD without formatting? etc. installing the softwares?
Sorry for asking too much but my laptop started disturbing me. Just for knowledge my Laptop is satellite A100-847

Hello
I will try to answer your question.
1 Recovery media contains recovery image. Recovery image is a kind of package that contains operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba tools and utilities and some additional software like WinDVD or Norton antivir application. Media something is not known to me. Maybe exact description can help.
2 Yes it has Windows OS. Yes you can format your notebook using it. You do not need product key. Just install it.
3 I do not know what you mean. The fact is that HDD will be formatted before you start recovery installation. Be sure all your important data are saved on some external device.
Bye

When I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

What does the recovery disk assistant store?

hello everyone, my questions:
1.what does the recovery disk assistant store?
2.is it necessary to use the recovery disk assistant often or is it enough to use once.
thanks
Fatih.

As it said in the link I posted:
has same capabilities as the built-in Lion Recovery: reinstall Lion, repair the disk using Disk Utility, restore from a Time Machine backup, or browse the web with Safari. This drive can be used in the event you cannot start your computer with the built-in Recovery HD, or you have replaced the hard drive with a new one that does not have Mac OS X installed.
And here it is explained further:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
It stores some tools (Disk Utility) to repair your drive and lets you connect to the app store to re-download the OS or restore it from a Time Machine backup. That's it.
And it will re-install or restore your system (OS), it will not touch your files. However,
NOTE: before doing anything like that, it is wise to have a complete backup - things can happen.

What does "The message body contains Vs" mean?

I'm trying to post a message.

Thanks. It took me a while to figure out what the message "The message body contains V(no space)s" meant. I thought "V(no space)s" was an abbreviation for some special computer term (I tried Googling it) or a misspelling in the message. It may help to change the message to read something like "The message body contains the text V(no space)s. Please remove the text V(no space)s from the message body."

What is the right bios for Satellite A100-749?

Hi
I bought a A100-749 (PSAARE) in France and I would like to update a firmware. I found a firmware version 5.90 for model PSAAR (there is no PSAARE so i think this model match) and inside the archive there are two files:
s10pm590.rom
s10pm590.rom
Which firmware should i use?
In following thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=24979 it is written that choosing wrong file freezes ;laptop on toshiba screen.
Thanks

no, you are wrong, download the firmware for psaar and look what is inside the archive, there is a flasher (WinPhlash.exe) and after execution you need to specify the rom file, inside archive there are two roms mentioned above, the flasher don't choose the file automatically, you have to do it manually
there is also another exe file (SA10Flash.exe - probably this is a flasher, WinPhlash.exe is just a graphical interface) and using it also you have to specify a rom file
someone told me that s10gm590.rom is for Intel 945GM chipset (with graphic card built-in) and s10pm590.rom for Intel 945PM chipset (without graphics). it means that for my laptop s10pm590.rom is correct
is it right?

What does the "other" section contain on my hard drive?

It is taking up 155 gigs on my hard drive.

What exactly the "recovery disc" does?

I'm about to reinstall everything on my laptop but would like to know what exactly the "recovery disc" does....
I presume that it formats the HDD with a clean install of the OS and that all the toshiba apps like disc recorder, VAP etc... are NOT installed and have to be installed afterwards??

> {quote:title=Jayjay wrote:}{quote}

so its just the OS packed with toshiba software and drivers - guess i wont have to download all of the toshiba applicaitions just yet then :)

HT4854 What size does the recovery partition need to be for Lion or Mt Lion?

What size does the recovery partition need to be for Lion or Mt Lion?

Maybe I'm approaching the problem the wrong way. My problem is that I installed a new HDD in my laptop after cloning it to a backup drive, and I wanted to install the OS after formatting the drive using Disk Utilities from my desktop machine. Since I had Lion installed from the App Store as a paid download, I thought I'd start with a freshly downloaded install of Lion, but I can't access the internet directly with my laptop since it has no OS or apps. So I'm downloading Lion to my desktop machine hoping to install it on my laptop as a Target HD. Is that possible? Does the App Store download allow choosing which drive to install on?

What does the system recover kit entail?

I dropped my wife's HP pavillion dv4i notebook, and afterwords had to replace the HDD. The Notebook did not come with a recovery disk to reinstall all the software it came with. I did the USB tool to reinstall the correct verions of windows 7 but I don't have a valid Windows product key. the sticker on the bottom with the key is now unreadable. I put the damaged HDD in a external case and am attempting to read the key without any luck.
What does the system recovery kit for consumer notebooks come with besides drivers? would this contain a new product key?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The Recovery kit installs Windows and all original drivers/software. Yes it includes an activation.

What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it

What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it?
I have a bug in my code (that I've posted about before, here) which I can't fix at the moment, but I do have a workaround.
Briefly, the bug:
I call a dll from a function node, to initialise and run a spectrometer. If I start up the PC, LabVIEW and run my vi the code runs without complaint, the first call to the dll to initialise the spectrometer doesn;t return an error but the spectrometer is not detected either.
I've tried various solutions, see the link above, and none work
The workaround:
If, at any time before running the code containing the function node I open an 'open file' dialog window, select the dll and click ok/hit enter then everything is fine. When I run the main code the spectrometer is detected.
I use an express vi to open the file dialog, I specify the start path and file name as constant inputs and just click ok/hit return when the dialog pops up. I don't do anything with the dialog outputs. In fact the vi that contains the open file dialog can be run before the project containing the bug is even open.
I have to do this everytime I turn the PC on.
So, either
1) Can somewone suggest a fix for the original bug?
2) What is the easiest way to simulate the enter keypress when the open file dialog pops up
or
3) Can someone tell me what the open file dialog does under the hood that somehow causes the dll to work and can it be simulated in straight LabVIEW
I suspect that the dll itself is dodgy ( I have in the past talked to the supplier but not got very far, and I will try again but I would like a quick, temporary solution too). I'm guessing that the file dialog is making some kind of check on the file, and possibly registering its presence with the OS (winXP). I tried using the file/folder exists vi to see if checking the file like that worked but no luck.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Dave

Hi David
I am very conscious about thread hijacking but this sounded like my issue so I hope you dont mind me asking about your issue. I am hoping that you have a spectrometer from the same vendor as me and its not just me seeing an Error 1097 issue. My spectrometer is from a company called Stellarnet.
So far I have unable to get it to work with other VIs. There is one condition where I can get it to work but its no good for me.
Case 1
I open the VI in a fresh labview environment with no other VIs in memory. The code runs with no issue.
Case 2
Labview is not opened. I double click the spectrometer VI in windows explorer. The VI opens but it fails to run resulting in Error 1097. Personally, I dont see the difference between this and Case 1 above and yet it fails.
Case 3
If I already have other VI's in memory and try to load the spectrometer VI and run it fails with Error 1097. This case is the one that most important to me. I have a test executive that will load test VIs dynamically and I can't get this to work. Same problem Error 1097.
I wanted to share what I have seen with you and to let you know that maybe somebody else has the same issue. I am convinced its the DLL but the vendor dis-agreed saying it was LabVIEW. I couldn't convince him otherwise.
Thanks in advance
David

What does the usb pointing to itunes symble mean. i have reset and it will not do anything but shoe that on the screen. I have it plugged in to itunes and its not doing anything?

What does the usb pointing to the itunes symble mean? its frozen on that screen, i plugged it in to itunes but its not doing anything

Hello crysta33,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The screen with an iTunes logo and cord indicates the device is in recovery mode, and will need to be restored by using iTunes. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

What does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

what does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

Well, I've not seen that one before. In fact I had to click on it so as to read the tiny
text, then it appeared in another window as a .png image... so I retyped it + also
supplied a .jpg of the same image of different size. Too wide: automatically scale.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
...maybe this is large enough to see without clicking? It probably scaled small.
•About the actual topic in your reply, in regular size text:
{ did you upgrade from an older Mac OS X? from what?}
You mean it could not or would not boot SafeBoot?
Here's an official support topic page about it.
•OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
Could be you need to start from a boot volume, or Recovery partition to repair it.
That is a more detailed way to repair disk & repair disk permissions, unmounted.
Not sure about that SUID thing, though. It may revert after a normal startup.
Maybe someone can offer better 'ways & means'... LOL!
Good luck & happy computing!

What does the usage of CURSOR word mean in an SQL statement?

Hey folks,
Please check out the following query and do please explain me what does the usage of CURSOR keyword in an SQL statement mean.
select deptno,cursor(select ename from emp a where a.deptno=b.deptno) from dept b;
well, the output was like this,
DEPTNO CURSOR(SELECTENAMEFR
10 CURSOR STATEMENT : 2
CURSOR STATEMENT : 2
ENAME
CLARK
KING
20 CURSOR STATEMENT : 2
CURSOR STATEMENT : 2
ENAME
SMITH
JONES
SCOTT
ADAMS
FORD
30 CURSOR STATEMENT : 2
CURSOR STATEMENT : 2
ENAME
ALLEN
WARD
MARTIN
BLAKE
TURNER
JAMES
6 rows selected.
40 CURSOR STATEMENT : 2
CURSOR STATEMENT : 2
no rows selected
Your favour'll be deeply appreciated.
Cheers,
PCZ

This returns a non-square result set. Each row of the result is a deptno and then a result set of the enames in that deptno.
This can be useful when you need to send a lot of data to a client application in a single query that would otherwise contain a lot of redundancy. It tends to be a relatively unusual construct (I've only found one situation where it was appropriate in my career) and requires some relatively sophisticated understanding on both the database and client sides.

What does the field "Version of the Reporting Component" in the table RSZC

Hi Experts,
Was wondering if any of you have the answer to the following:
The table RSZCOMPDIR stores details of the queries.
Now the field "Version of the Reporting Component" in this table contains many different values viz. 0, 11, 13, 15, 100, 101, 102 etc.)
However, am not sure if this field denotes the object type....for e.g. bot calculated & restricted key figues may have version 15 etc.
So, in a nutshell, what does the field "Version of the Reporting Component" in the table RSZCOMPDIR signify?
Thanks,
Bala

I have not seen this done for CVI but I believe for all Microsoft functions such as this you would use ActiveX to call the Word, Excel, and possibly powerpoint ActiveX classes.
