Which system will I get when I do R&R?

Hello everyone, I have a Lenovo T61 that came preloaded with windows Vista buisness. After a couple of years of using this, lots of junk has gathered up on my computer and rather than going through and deleting thousands of files manually I want to revert my thinkpad back to default factory settings. I understand the process of using R&R to access the computer's hidden partition and restore the computer, etc, etc. But I'm wondering if my system will boot up Windows XP instead of Vista? I have searched a lot and have found very vague answers alluding to either side. I have found very little information about this.
Has anyone gone through with this procedue who can confirm anything?
Thanks

Longinus, welcome to the forum,
if, as you state, your system came preloaded with Vista running the R&R recovery will reinstall the Vista OS to the factory settings.
Hope this helps

  • Which form will be submitted when i click refresh button.

    HI,
    which form will be submitted when i click on refresh button.

    When you click refresh button, it will send to the server the exact same request that it sent to get to the current page.
    If the previous navigation was done by a form submission, then yes, that form submission will be repeated.

  • How can i know which index will be used when executing the query ?

    1 ) I have query in which i have 3-4 tables but there multiple index on one column .
    so how can i know which index will be used when executing the query ?
    2) I have a query which ia taking too much time . how can i know which table is taking too much time ?
    3) Please Provide me some document of EXplain plan ?

    Hi Jimmy,
    Consider the below example
    /* Formatted on 2011/02/04 21:59 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
    CREATE TABLE FIRST AS
    SELECT * FROM all_objects;
    UPDATE FIRST
    SET object_name = 'TEST'
    WHERE owner != 'SCOTT';
    CREATE INDEX idx_first ON FIRST(object_name);
    SELECT *
    FROM FIRST
    WHERE object_name = 'TEST';
    It has not used index
    Execution Plan
    Plan hash value: 2265626682
    | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
    | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 58678 | 7334K| 163 (4)| 00:00:02 |
    |* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| FIRST | 58678 | 7334K| 163 (4)| 00:00:02 |
    /* Formatted on 2011/02/04 21:59 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
    SELECT *
    FROM FIRST
    WHERE object_name = 'emp';
    This has used the index
    Execution Plan
    Plan hash value: 1184810458
    | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
    | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 128 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
    | 1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| FIRST | 1 | 128 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
    |* 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | IDX_FIRST | 1 | | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
    From this we can come to the conclusion that, whether to use one index or not by oracle
    would also depend on the data which is present in the table. This has to be this way as
    we see in the bind peeking, if oracle sticks to only one plan, say only use the full table
    scan, it would be a performance hit when it searches for the second query ie where object_name
    ='emp';
    2.
    If we have a query like below.
    select * from emp
    where upper(ename) = upper(:p_ename);
    Evenif we have the index on ename column, oracle wouldn't be able to use the index, as there is a function in the predicate column. If you need oracle to use the index, we need to create a function based index as below.
    Create index idx_ename on emp(upper(ename));

    Cool

  • Which object will I get from a pageflowscope?

    Dear All,
    I have a question to ask although I haven't tested this one.
    Suppose I have three taskflows. TF1, TF2 and TF3.
    In both TF2 and TF3, I declared an object in pageFlowScope with the same name in their BTF managed bean configurations.
    Now, supposed in TF1 BTF page and in an action listener of a button, I do something like this.
    ADFContext adfCtx = ADFContext.getCurrent();
    Map<String, Object> pageFlowParams = adfCtx.getPageFlowScope();
    AnObject anObject = (AnObject)pageFlowParams.get("anObject");     Which object will I get? Is it from TF2 or TF3?
    All of these Taskflows(TF1,TF2,TF3) will be dropped into a webcenter page as a region.
    Thoughts?
    Webcenter 11 PS5

    Hi Neliel.
    If you have TF1, TF2, TF3 then you have next scopes: PF1,PF2,PF3.
    Accesing to PageFlowScope depends of where is your code. If you are invoking your code into your ADF JAR Library of TF1 you are accesing to PF1 etc...
    If your code is as the Portal level then you are accesing to Portal PageFlowScope.
    However, to be sure that this is true you can do a little sample (it no takes more than 10 minutes).
    Regards.

  • Windows 8 and Canvio Desk 3TB: System will not boot when external hdd is connected

    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Operating-Systems-e-g/HP-PAVILION-A6109N-amp-windows-8-System-w...
    Hi,
    just recently upgraded to Win Pro on my HP PAVILION A6109N.  I also bought a toshiba canvio desk 3TB.  What I notice is that if I reboot my pc with the extermnal HDD connected, my system will not boot.
    I have check my BIOS boot settings and the order of the boot.
    I have tried disabling USB Legacy Support in the BIOS
    I have reformatted the external HDD
    but still my desktop will not boot if the external HDD is connected....If I disconnect the external HDD...the system will boot up ....
    I am at a loss....*** scratching my head ***

    Update:  The only solution for me was to format the drive as ext3 and plug it into one of my Asus RT-N66U USB ports, as most routers don’t yet recognize 3TB drives as NTFS.  It’s not much help to people who don’t have a router with this capability, and it also slows transfer rates to ~12MB/s.
    Given the short length of the cable, your only other options are to have the 3TB Canvio sitting right next to you so you can unplug from a front USB port before each boot, or place it towards the rear of your desk and crawl under the desk to disconnect it from your PC prior to each boot. 
    It's a pity because Toshiba produce great internal HDD's, but my experience when it comes to external drives is they're simply junk.  I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing.

  • Which method will be called, when invoking home.create() ?

    Hi,
    In a Stateless session Bean, I want initialize some variables, whenever a bean is created or retrieved from the pool. So I used the ejbCreate() method to initialize the variables, but it is called only first time when I call the home.create(). If I call the home.create() method next time it doesn't call the ejbCreate().
    Which method will be called, whenever I call home.create();.

    hi siva,
    first of all Ejbcontainers maintain a pool of stateless sessionbeans .when you call home.create() the ejbCreate () method is definitely called and you said you are initializing some variable and may be you are trying to retrive that value after home.create() method.. when you try to retrive the value thee value may be same as you have initialized or different depending upon the no of stateless session beans in the container. you have created a bean and there is no guarantee that the same bean will be called when you invoke retrieval method..
    i hope you understood.
    cheers

  • Which router will I get?

    I am scheduled for a Sept. 6th install in Marblehead MA (North of Boston). Does anyone know which router I am likely to get for my freebie?  I want 802.11N with gigabit wired ports.  Any chance of that, or should I just buy my own and convert theirs to a planter?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks, that was very thorough.  We are only getting internet service so that simplifies things.
    One last thing, will the ActionTec make a good planter?
    Just kidding, I will keep it around because the Verizon techs get horribly confused when you use equipment they didn't give you.  I could tell you stories about getting DSL service with my netgear DSL modem (not for the modem, it worked great, but with it in the loop the V techies were greatly confused) that would make your head spin around.

  • Which ipod WILL i get?

    last week i sent my 3rd gen 40gb ipod in to apple because of the battery issue. will apple send me a new/refurbished 3rd gen 40gb? or something newer? it doesn't really make sense to send another of the same ipod when it will just have another battery failure in the future.

    Here is a video on youtube which discusses the return process of your original Nano:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo4Lg0ToVlU .
    Apple's customer care representative shared with me that they are putting the 1st generation Nano back into production for a limited time so it is not likely you'll get the newest Nano.

  • Which tool will you use when you design Ejb...I just wanna to know!

    I'm a beginner!@_@

    thank you!

    As for me, good tools are:

    XDoclet
    www.sourceforge.net/projects/xdoclet
    JBuilder 6.0 www.borland.com/jbuilder
    I gave you three tools because they differ from each other a lot.
    TCC is Java/J2EE/UML tool, XDoclet is a JavaDoc extension which can be
    easily added
    to the build process, JBuilder is well-know Java IDE.
