Which Recovery Media DVDs are unique for each delivered pc?

This is related to the other thread: what is "boot media" and "data media"
Having just finished making recovery media for the E520 I've just purchased for my daughter, I'm soon going to need to repeat the process for the other identical E520 I've just purchased for my other daughter.
I'm lead to believe that the Windows 7 media is unique for each pc, but during the creation of the recovery media, the process created 4 x DVD.
1. Bootable CD/DVD.
* Volume label: CD_ROM
* 305 MB
2. Recovery DVD 0.
* Volume label: RCD_AppCD0
* 3.62 GB
3. Recovery DVD 1.
* Volume label: RCD_AppCD1
* 4.04 GB
4. Recovery DVD 2.
* Volume label: RCD_AppCD2
* 1.22 GB
Do I need to make another complete set of 4 x CD/DVD or is only one of these unique for that pc hardware?
This is for a Thinkpad E520 (1143CTO) with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If the systems really are identical you don't really need to make another set, the set you made will work.  That said, it can't be a bad thing to have two sets in case one set get's damaged, lost or whatever.
In such situations I prefer wearing belt and braces.

  • Which DVD are good  for burning

    I tried many different dvd/cd for burning movies and music, but they are not all working very well.
    Does somebody knows which dvd are good for burning movies and music.

    Hi Sue,
    Thanks for your answer. I bought them also before, but it seems that not all working very good.
    I burned dvd's and play them on my Home theather. Beginning good, later it gave reading problems. What I also know is: Dvd players from 40 euro's works better then one from 1600 euro's.
    I shall buy the -R this week and hopefully the work better.

  • SD - Accounting document line items are generating for each item

    Hi all of you,
    We have done account determination for SD. Accounting documents are also generating, but with in the invoice accounting document, number of line items are generating for each item with in the sales order, standard invoice type is F2 like -
    Item 001 - X Material
    Item 002 - Y Material
    Item 003 - Z Material
    The accounting document is -
    Line Item 001 - Customer Ac Dr
    Line Item 002 - Discount A/c Dr
    Line Item 003 - Sales revenue

    Line Item 005 - Sales Revenue
    Line Item 006 - Discount A/c Dr
    Line Item 007 - Sales revenue
    Line Item 008 - VAT
    Even, in my experience I did not find this type of entry and the sales revenue and discount accounts are same with in the COA and is posted with in the plant.
    Please give me your valuable suggestion to rectify the above issue.

    Dear Ramki,
    This is SAP Standard. System generates Accounting document line item for each Line items in Invoice.
    This is standard & also required bacuase say you have different Material types in single Invoice (e.g.Material & Service items, Trading Goods, etc). The valuation class assigned to these Material Types may be different & you might want to post revenues from these Line items in different GL Accounts.
    Hope this helps. .
    Thanks,

  • Which wi-fi speakers are recomended for MacBook Air

    Which wi-fi speakers are recomended for MacBook Air?

    I cannot personally advise because I don't know about those specific models.
    In 10.7, Apple already provides built-in software and updates for many printers. Check the lists below.
    Apple list of Epson printer software included with 10.7:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson
    Apple list of HP printer software included with 10.7:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
    Also, Epson and HP both have support web pages where they describe their support for Mac OS X 10.7 and have driver software available to download. There's a good chance the that printer driver software you find online will be more recent than on the CD in the box with the printer, so you'll want to check those sites anyway.

  • How many profiles are there for each camera?

    When I develop my Nikon D700 raw files I have a choice of a number of profiles such as Adobe Standard, Camera Vivid, Camera Neutral Camera Portrait and various DX2 modes.
    However with raw files from my Olympus E-P1 I can see only one profile;- Adobe Standard.
    None of the E-P1 modes such as Vivid, Muted, Natural or Monotone appear to be emulated by Adobe.
    Is this correct and how can I find out which profiles Adobe has actually produced for each camera?
    Ian

    Yes, Dorin is correct. For the E-P1 there is a single profile named Adobe Standard. You can build additional profiles using the DNG Profile Editor tool:
    http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles
    http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles:Editor
    As I recall, a forum user was also building profiles and offering them for free. I think the E-P1 was included in the list.

  • Difference in completion deadline for tasks which are parallel for each

    Hello Everybody,
    We have critical problem wherein we have set a completion deadline for a task against a human activity which is parallel for each but in the runtime, a difference of 1 second is appearing for the parallel tasks generated.
    We have raised a COMPLETIONDEADLINEISCRITICALEXCEPTION and if the deadline is met we are executing an ABAP RFC for auto approval.
    The automated step for executing the RFC is also parallel for each. When the tasks are created only one gets cancelled on completion of deadline while others get suspended. I am assuming this is happening because of the difference of 1 sec in the completion deadline for parallel tasks in the runtime.
    This is very critical and i request all you to please provide your inputs.
    Thanks & Regards
    Gaurang Dayal

    Hi Guarang,
    Do you expect that all the parallel tasks are instantiated at exactly the same point in time? That is an unrealistic expectation....
    First off, the Par Foreach doesn't spawn multiple threads, it executes each 'parallel' action in sequence in the same thread. Parallel in this context means all the actions (Task initiation) will occur and a process token will stay at each Task. For the token to pass the subsequent merge ALL the parallel tasks must be complete (all tokens must arrive at the merge). So you won't ever get all the tasks initiated at EXACTLY the same time.
    Further, even if the BPM kernel did spawn multiple threads (and there are very good reasons it won't!) it is rather unlikely that in these different threads you would for sure get all the initiations at EXACTLY the same time.
    If it's important that you get the task completion deadline the same in all tasks you should get a suitable timestamp in a mapping step which precedes the split and then set the deadline explicitly using that value when the task is initiated - i.e use a specific time value not an offset time value.
    An FWIW you should read and understand the documentation on Boundary Events so that you can know what to expect when one is fired and you know how to handle them.
    regards, Nick

    Hi,
    If you want to reset or refresh your Windows, then I'd like to share this link with you:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc
    the reason why I share it with you is that the reset and refresh situations are different depending on the system installed in your machine.
    if the system does have a recovery partition, then it might be corrupted, I'm afraid that you eill need to contact the PC manufactiure for a DVD disk.
    By the way, Windows 8\8.1 also has some built-in advanced recovery options, you can boot your PC into recovery console to perform some troubleshooting steps.

  • Re-Installing Windows 7 Using Recovery Media (DVD's)

    Notebook: HP-430 Notebook
    OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)
    HDD: 298 GB
    When i newly bought my HP-430 notebook, I re-partitioned HDD using some other third party software.I created one additional partition (M:\). Here is the info, of how i had repartitioned....
    C:\  - 100GB (changed from 284 GB to 100 GB).
    D:\  - Did not make any changes.
    M:\  - 184 GB (Created a drive by my self).
    Then after some days for testing purpose i thought of using recovery manager. So i run the setup and chose the First option (System Restore) which said that it will only reformat the system drive (C:\), and will not perform any other HDD changes. But to my surprise it deleted/reformated the full HDD, and i lost all my documents, music, photos, and all my important files, which i had stored/backed up on M:\ (which i had created)....
    Can some one tell me why the hack this happened.....????
    Then now, next point. After recovery manager had restored the OS, i again repartitioned it, But this time with Windows Disk Management Tool. But Windows Disk Management didnt allow me to shrink(resize) the C:\(Systemdrive) less than 150 GB. So i resized C:\ to 150 GB from 284 GB, and created one more drive (M:\) of size 147 GB. And i deleted the Recovery Drive (D:\), but i have created the Recovery DVD's before deleting Recoevery Drive from my HDD.
    Again now its time for me to reinstall Windows 7 using Recovery media, as i have messed up with some system files while installing a theme for Windows 7, and now my OS is completely unstable. So now i want to reinstall windows 7, but I cant understand which option to chose in recovery manager (when run from Recovery DVD's)
    Options shown in recovery manager
    1. Recover using Microsoft Recovery
    2. System Recovery (The option which i had chosen for the first time and got all my stuff deleted)....it says it only reinstalls the OS and wont perform any other HDD changes.
    3. Minimised Image Recovery
    4.Factory Reset.
    So now my question to you guys is that.......which option do i chose in recovery manager so that all my backed up content and my stuff on M:\ (which i created) wont be deleted..and the OS will be reinstalled.....
    PLIZZZZZ HELPPPPPPPPPPPP.........................
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    I don't believe that any of the recovery options from the Disc will retain your custom partition - As far as I know, the only time you will get a prompt to keep a custom partition is when using the 'Minimized Image Recovery' option from the Recovery Partition D which you have removed.
    You could try the following work-around.
    Download the correct Windows 7 Disc Image from the link below - this must be exactly the same version as your OEM installation - ie if your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the version you would need to download.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    Use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
    Use the disc you create to perform the installation - when you get to the option to choose the type of installation, choose Custom and select the C partition. 
    When asked, enter the Windows activation key found on the underside of your notebook, then when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • Recovery media dvds

    this might be a stupid question but i rather be sure then to mess something up. i recently ordered some Acclaim recovery dvds and they say satellite l450d series on them. my laptop is l455d so, is this media the same for my laptop. 
    I also have another question, can i repair windows system files from the recovery dvds or would it have to be a complete reinstall? 

    Well I did as suggested called about getting a replacement recovery media cd and was told since i ordered them 6 months ago they are not replaceable. Seems strange to me if a man orders some recovery media as a back-up to have incase something like this situation happens he wont have to order them and wait on the to come he will have them as a back-up like i did (or i thought i did ). I was told I shouldve checked them when I recieved them, now why would i need to check them if i didnt need them they are for an emergency use. thanks for the help guys i tried to even make copies of the file to another hard drive to see if maybe i could swap out the disks when prompted for the PREINST12.SWM file but the copy procees gets stuck at 277mb left in the copying of the 12.SWM file, but yet i can copy all the other files  on the disk. I guess the moral is dont buy the disks to put back and save incase you might have an issue or if you do go ahead and try a system recovery the second you recieve the disks from Toshiba cause a file might not have copied correctly and they will replace it. Again thanks for the help sorry about the venting i just think its a bit rediculous to be treated like this when the disk cost me another $30 to repurchase cause my laptop is screwed without it.

  • Thread.currentThread() unique for each server request?

    Hello
    I have a hosted application in glassfish. When there is a http request I write a file to disk in server machine.
    I am just wondering in writer.class can I use Thread.currentThread() as a unique identification for each and every request?
    Thank you

    I am sorry. I made the question wired by adding unnessasary things.
    Let me ask it simple, can I replace the singleton class IDpool with a class with a static variable id. like following
    IDpool class (singleton and map<thread, id>)
    public class IdPool {
        protected static IdPool pool = null;
        protected static Map<Thread,Long> idmap = new HashMap<Thread,Long>();
        public static Map<Thread,Long> getIdMap()
            return idmap;
        public static IdPool getSingleInstance()
            if(IdPool.pool==null)
                IdPool.pool = new IdPool();
            return IdPool.pool;
        public synchronized Long makeNewId(Thread thread)
            Long id =  Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();
            IdPool.idmap.put(thread,id);
            return id;
        public synchronized Long getId(Thread thread)
            return IdPool.idmap.get(thread);
    }replace above with following
    class IDClass
       public static long ID;
    }In request handler class
    // make new id
    IDClass.ID = 123;In FileWriter.class
    // get ID
    long id = IDClass.ID;Because for each and every request it starting as a new application. Application means calling for the backend Request handler and file writer program I have made. Those are in a seperate jar file.The same instance of the application never used by two request. And once the request is finished application initialize for that particular request close down.
    EJP, thank you very much for your kind attention for this matter.

  • Recovery Media Creator Failed continuiously for Satellite C670

    I am at my wits end I have tried everything possible, read the heip manual and shut down everything possible, sleep modes and all and still no luck. The errors I am getting are:
    failed to burn: bin backup.ini
    failed to burn: checkmaxptsize.exe
    I am tired of wasting DVD-R's 10 of them so far. Will Toshiba sell me recovery disks? But I would like to really know why my Recovery Media Creator is not working.

    There are two possible issues:
    Either the CD/DVD drive laser lens is dirty and cannot handle all disk properly or the disks are not fully compatible.
    Would recommend cleaning the laser lens using an cotton wool tip and alcohol in most cases its good enough to cleaning the lens
    Furthermore try to use other disks from different brands..
    TDK R disks or Verbatim R are good never had any problems using it

  • How to limit the number of emails that are shown for each account

    Hi, I'm going from iOS 6.1 to my new 5s iOS 7 and I wanted to know if there was a way to limit the number of emails shown for each of my accounts? In iOS 6 there is a setting "show" where you can choose how many you would like to be loaded at a time from 50-1,000 , is there a setting similar to this and I am just not seeing it? Please help me asap. I have only logged in 3 of my 12 email accounts and already have over 13k emails loaded...

    You can't limit it to the last 50 messages, but you can limit it to the last 1000 messages in each "folder" (label).
    Go to the Gmail website and click on the gear icon to the top-right side.
    Click on Settings.
    Click on the "Forwarding and IMAP/POP" tab across the top of the Settings area.
    Towards the bottom of the IMAP section, change the "Folder Size Limit" setting to "Limit IMAP folders to contain no more than this many messages". By default 1000 is selected, though you can also choose 2000, 5000, or 10000.
