Will OneKey Recovery return the Y2P to pre-first boot state?

Has anyone used the Lenovo OneKey Recovery System? Will it return the Y2P to is pre-first boot state?
When I buy a new laptop I always make a restore image of the entire drive before I do anything else so that I can return it to its original state if needed.
Here is how I usually do it:
1. Before powering on for the first time, I open the CD/DVD drive with a paperclip and insert an imaging boot disk (usually Acronis).
2. I attach an external USB hard drive.
3. I then power on for the first time and interrupt the boot up and force it to boot from the CD. (I also change the BIOS settings if needed to enable CD boot if needed.)
4. Then I create an image of all the partitions on the internal hard drive to the external hard drive.
I'll use Lenovo OneKey Recovery System if that will do what I want... but if not, I wonder if I can do something similar with the Y2P. Since there is no CD drive, I wonder if it is possible to boot to a USB thumb drive. Does anyone know if that is possible with the Y2P, and how to configure that in the BIOS?
If so, I will try a bootable USB thumb drive with imaging software on it and an external hard drive connected to the other USB port.
Solved!

Hi gregfromutah,
Yes OneKey Recovery will restore your lapptop to its factory state, provided that you haven't deleted the recovery partition on your hard drive. More details there: http://support.lenovo.com/en_AU/diagnose-and-fix/detail.page?DocID=HT077084
And yes you can create recovery media on a bootable usb stick instead of discs.
Type "Recovery" on the start screen and click One Key Recovery 2. On the One Key Recovery application, select System Backup 3. Follow the screen instructions.
The usb stick must be at least 16GB.

How to return the result set of multiple select statements as one result set?

Hi All,
I have multiple select statements in my stored procedure that I want to return as one result set
for instance
select id from tableA
union
select name from table b
but union will not work because the result sets datatypes are not identical so how to go about this ?
Thanks

You have to CAST or CONVERT (or implicitly convert) the columns to the same datatype. You must find a datatype that both columns can be converted to without error. In your example I'm guessing id is an int and name is a varchar or nvarchar.
Since you didn't convert the datatypes, SQL will use its data precedence rules and attempt to convert name to an int. If any row contains a row that has a value in name that cannot be converted to an int, you will get an error. The solution is
to force SQL to convert the int to varchar. So you want something like
select cast(id as varchar(12)) from tableA
union
select name from tableb
If the datatypes are something other that int or varchar, you must find a compatable datatype and then convert one (or both) of the columns to that datatype.

Return Into. Can I return the old value in an update statement?

Hello - I have an update statement and I need the value of a field, prior to the update. Is it possible to use the Return Into to do this? Or do I have to have a separate select statement prior to the update statement in order to store that value in a variable?
Thanks!

RETURNING INTO is valid for an UPDATE, but it returns the new value, not the old value.

HT4718 Will internet recovery reinstall the iLife suite?

Just wondering how I do a clean install of OSX on my Macbook Air, including all the apps that were there originally, such as iLife. This has to be done without creating a new user account on the machine, i.e I don't want to redownload from the MAS, as I've sold the laptop and want to deliver it "factory fresh", without users...

The only way to do a clean install of iLife if you are reformating the Mac is to use an older iLife disk to install it rather than a newer version of iLife from the App Store. iLife is Not contained in the Recovery Partition; iLife is added Apps that are not part of OS X.

Can't find the onekey recovery in my thinkpad yoga?

I need to backup my system after all the new installation but somehow can't find the onekey recovery in the new thinkpad yoga. Why the thinkpad yoga doesn't come with onekey recovery?
Also I downloaded and installed onekey recovery version 8.0.0.1219 but when I tried the system backup it said "Current system can not support back up". Am I missing something here? Has anyone able to back up their thinkpad yoga?
Any information will be appreciated.

The Lenovo OneKey Recovery

Hi.Let's just say I did something really stupid and now I want to restore my laptop to factory settings.The previously mentioned stupid thing happened during the installation of Kali Linux so right now, I don't know whether Kali is installed or not.Does running the OneKey feature restore the entire laptop back to factory state, along with the removal of Kali?If not, exactly what all does it revert and how do I know if Kali has been installed or not?

OKR will work again if you restore with the discs.
It will resize the partitions back the way it was.
How I do it is if I get a new machine, I burn recovery discs right away. Then, once I get Windows up and running the way I want with all my programs in there, I save a full backup to an external hard drive. Then, if the hard drive fails, or Windows gets corrupted or whatever, I use the discs to restore to factory and then use the backup to put everything back the way I want it.
Then I can delete partitions and resize anything I want knowing that with the discs and the backup, I can put it back if I have to.

G560 PXE error; OneKey Recovery seems to work, but then I get BSOD upon boot

I've got a 3-year old G560 and a few days ago, I ran into a PXE error out of the blue. I didn't really change anything about the computer's setup, and it may have been caused by commuting the laptop.
I already went through the whole F2 setup regimen of disabling network boot, changing over to compatible mode, trying every combination of boot order, etc.
When I was in compatibility mode, I was able to get the OneKey Recovery to work. There's no DVD involved, seems like it's stuck in that partition. I never set a restore point, but I didn't mind a factory reset. So I did the OneKey factory reset and it took about 15 minutes and it seemed to be okay, but then when I try to start the laptop, it will show the Windows logo, freeze there for a few seconds and then it flashes the blue screen of death for a split second (impossible to capture the error codes).
If I try it in safe mode, it shows the files that are being loaded, and it BSODs right after classpnp.sys
Now, I guess my main question is if OneKey will appear to work and yet maybe the HDD (hard drive) does not work. Could it be a matter of just replacing the hard drive? I did pull out the hard drive and re-mount it. Also the motherboard and re-mounted it. Is the OneKey function separate from the hard drive?
The laptop is so old that I wouldn't want to invest much money in its repair (warranty is past expiration date), but it's also been my daily computer, so I wouldn't mind if it was just a case of replacing a hard drive. With these problems, would it just be possible to make Ubuntu into my primary operating system by using an install disc?

hi stophammertime,
Welcome to the Forums.
It looks like you have some bad sectors on the HDD that's why the OKR didn't work or for some reason, OKR worked but the bad sectors corrupted the OS installation files. To verify this, you will need to run diagnostics on the HDD (try ultimatebootcd as it has diagnostic tools for ever brand of HDD's)
Also, the OneKey Recovery runs on a hidden partition on the HDD (usually the last few sectors of the drive). It's possible to trigger the OneKey Recovery if the partition structure isn't damage but if the target drive has bad sectors (i.e. Drive C:\), it may fail to image the drive or corrupt the installation files.
If verified that you have bad sectors on the HDD, you will need to replace the HDD and from here, you can:
1. Use a recovery disc to restore the default OS (this is only psosible if you have created one using this method)
2. If you can still read the COA product key at the bottom, you can burn an ISO copy on this website and use it to clean install Windows into your PC (if you get issues activating Windows, try to activate by phone).
3. Scratch Windows and use Ubuntu as you're primary OS.
Hope thish elps

I have OSX 10.7.5, my idvd is not working correctly. Should I re-download this version again , do you think that it will help to improve the idvd operation?

I have OSX 10.7.5 on my imac, my idvd is not working correctly. Should I re-download this version again , do you think that it will help to improve the idvd operation?

First, iDVD is not and never has been part of OS X. If iDVD is not working correctly, then you should investigate possible problems with that application, support files, preferences, or cache.
Of course you can always reinstall OS X if you wish:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

IdeaPad U330 shows a blue screen and then shuts down while trying to Backup using onekey recovery

I have a brand new Lenovo IdeaPad U330 2267-58U preloaded with Windows XP Professional. After I installed some application software I tried to use the Onekey Recovery (from the Start menu) to create a backup of my system partition (C drive) for the first time. For backup mode I chose "Full backup" and for Compression Type I chose "Quick compression" (I tried the no compression option and it didn't work either). I then clicked the "Next" button and left everything unchanged as the default setting (backup location set to the D: drive). As soon as I clicked the "next" button, and then the "start" button, the screen turns blue and the system reboots. The system then reboots with the blue disck-checking screen.
Any fix to this problem?? I haven't been able to create any back up for my system or create a recovery disc so far.

have you checked your disk(s) for error(s)?

When Nokia will be available in the Republic of Ma...

Use Nokia E7-00 with product code 059D0R3. With Anna had no problems. I hope with Nokia Belle will be like that.

Jarviser, I am simply stating the facts about Blackberry not wanting people in Ireland to buy the Playbook. I know it is hard to believe but, I'll say it again, Ireland is NOT in the list of countries in the Blackberry Playbook setup menu. Therefore it is NOT possible to setup the Playbook as a resident of Ireland. Jarviser, you are totally wrong to assume that the only country not listed is Cyprus and your questioning of my facts is not appropriate.
Yes, it does sound unbelievable but Ireland (Eire, Republic of Ireland, Irish Republic) is also NOT in the list of countries where the new owner can legally register the product. The so-called "Blackberry Support" is ONLY available AFTER the product has been registered – which is why it was difficult for me to even get a message to "Support" at all.
A few Irish customers may be willing to register using a false address in the UK or another country but, as well as being totally against the moral principles of many Irish people, it would also mean potential legal and practical problems with returning faulty products, guarantees, etc.
On another moral point: Blackberry is selling Playbooks to PC World/Curries in Ireland, knowing that they cannot be legally registered and knowing that many customers will simply not be able to setup and use the Playbooks at all because they can't get past the initial setup and registration process. The only option for many people will be to return the Playbook to PC World/Curries for a refund, after a lot of frustration and disappointment with Blackberry.
As a PR exercise, Blackberry is really shooting itself at a time when it already has lost a lot of customers to rivals and is in serious financial difficulties. Whoever is running Blackberry needs to wake up to the real problems the company is facing, including this dishonest selling of Playbooks in Ireland. Do any of them ever even read these forums?

Return the user detail after validate the SSO token

Hi all ,
Iam new to Oracle CRM on demand. I want to know is there a way to get user details when validating the SSO token. After SSO validation success then need to return the user detail (User first name, email, last name, etc ).
Please help me

Hi Vikas,
I have done the same setup as your sample application. I am using
 
Branch URL : 
f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&APP_SESSION.::::::#&P1_ANCHOR.
 
Computation for P1_ANCHOR: 
case :REQUEST
WHEN 'P1_A_SCN' THEN 'P1_A_SCN'
ELSE NULL
end
 
Anchor Code in region header for item P1_A_SCN: 
< a name="P1_A_SCN">< /a >
 
When I use the select list it wont come back to the region where the select list P1_A_SCN is located. I checked for the value in P1_ANCHOR in the session state and it correctly shows as 'P1_A_SCN'. But the page URL after the submit does not show the anchor like 
......f?p=206:1:14418154115565883485::::::#P1_A_SCN it shows 
......f?p=206:1:14418154115565883485::::::
 
When I but the branch URL as 
f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&APP_SESSION.::::::&P1_ANCHOR. without the '#' it shows the page URL as 
......f?p=206:1:14418154115565883485::::P1_A_SCN
 
Do you what is causing the anchor to not show up in the page URL and thereby the intra page branch to not work.
Thanks,
Swaroop

HT202157 I updated my apple tv and now it will not connect to the internet

please HELP me make my appple tv work again. I have done the most recient update on it and now it will not connect to the internet :/

    1.    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
    2.    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings).You should also try restarting your router.
    3.    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

Re: the G5s whos failure to boot was (briefly) fixed by a hair dryer...

...or a little pressure applied to the logic board in just the right spot. If you had one of these, I've got a question. A friend gave me his 1.6ghz box, which was not booting and showing 3 flashes on the power button (indicating a ram issue). After wading through an inordinate number of threads, I came across one where they had discovered that applying heat or pressure to a specific spot on the mother/logic board would (at least for a little while) cure the problem. I tried it; literally pressing on the board with a pencil eraser while hitting the power button, and it worked like a charm. Unfortunately, it appears I will have to apply the "fix" every time I boot. Now, the fact these tricks worked at all can mean only one thing; A physical contact (probably solder) failed on the logic board.
So here is the question: Does anyone know EXACTLY which contact is failing? I'm getting ready to pull the logic board and would like to take at least a shot applying a more permanent repair.
Thanks for your help.

Return to a first time state ...

Hi everyone, I have an app that have a "return" button, this button is used when the user wants to return to a previous view, these previous view is the "main view" where the application starts and also the component controller, the problem is that I need to reload all the app (like a first time state) but I´m not sure if calling the wdDoInit of the component controller makes the job. ¿

Hi,
Anyway you want to load the entire screen and nodes again. So why dont you navigate to your applicaton again using the below code.
For example:
You have
App1 ---> Window1 ---> View1 (DefaultView)
Window1 ---> View2
You are navigating from View1 to View2. When user clicks on View2 invoke App1 which loads all the application again. Use this below code to navigate to application.
// Get name of deployable object this component belongs to
String deployableObjectName =
wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart().getDeployableObjectName();
try {
// Get deployable object part of target application.
// Precondition: assume, that other application belongs to the same
// Web Dynpro Project (Deployable Object)
WDDeployableObjectPart deployableObjectPart =
WDDeployableObject.getDeployableObjectPart(
deployableObjectName,
"App1",
WDDeployableObjectPartType.APPLICATION);
// Get target URL based on deployable object part and URL parameters
String urlToTargetApp =
WDURLGenerator.getApplicationURL(deployableObjectPart, urlParameters);
// Fire exit plug to target URL via IPublic-API of used interface view
// controller
wdThis.wdGetStartCompInterfaceViewController()
.wdFirePlugStartAppExit(urlToTargetApp);
} catch (WDURLException e) {
messageMgr.reportException(e.getLocalizedMessage(), false);
} catch (WDDeploymentException ex) {
messageMgr.reportException(ex.getLocalizedMessage(), false);

Will internet recovery work on my mid 2010 MBP with yosemite and the firmare internet recovoery update designed for OS lion

will internet recovery work on my mid 2010 MBP with yosemite and the firmare internet recovery update designed for OS lion

Yes, it does. The point is can your computer use full Internet Recovery with the firmware update or not. If not then you have to begin with the Snow Leopard DVD that came with your computer and do an Erase and Install.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
However, if you can use full Internet Recovery:
Install Yosemite, Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
