Christian333, welcome to the forum,
I personally have never heard of your problem, others may have, but I would start by running Drive Fitness Test from Hitachi to check the hard drive. Even if you don't have an Hitachi drive it will say whether or not the drive is OK. I always run it from CD.
If the drive is OK I would then run Secure Data Disposal at it's lowest level in order to eliminate anything in the boot sectors and then afterwards the recovery discs. If problems are then experienced it's time to call service.
Hope this helps

  • How's this partition table for my server?

    How's this partition table for my server?  Web/DNS/DHCP/Mail Server.
    hdd1: ~8gb total
    /boot - 100mb
    swap - 1gb
    / - rest of drive
    hdd2: ~155gb total
    /var - whole drive
    This is a Compaq ProLiant 5500 server with 10 drives.  Will most things be installed inside /var or what?

    Mail = Depends which package you use. I use postfix and told it to use /srv
    I would half your swap, reduce /var and put the extra space into /srv
    Also create a separate /tmp and /home to prevent accidental or deliberate DoS attacks by filling your / partition

  • How to import partitioned tables in different tablespace

    Hi everyone,
    I try to import the partitioned tables in different tablespace.
    Consider the following situation:
    I have a dump file which is created by using "Export" utility. Some data are in partitioned tables, some of them are in non-partitioned tables. Also, all tables are located in "MYTBS" tablesapce. I try to import all data from this dump file to another database. I didn't get error messages when importing the data from non-partitioned tables. However, I got error message when importing the data from partitioned tables. The error message is: tablespace 'MYTBS' does not exist.
    I just want to how I can solve this problem other than create 'MYTBS' tablespace for my new database.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to import partition table in 10 express edition database

    Hi all,
    I have 10g express edition installed on my laptop, I have a table with partition now I am unable to import that table in my oracle 10 express edition database.Anybody help me in this regard that how could I able to import this table in my database, even I dont want its partitions I want only data.
    Regards

    The phrase "awfully small table" was not intended as criticism. It merely notes that tables smaller than 2 GB would normally be too small to partition. Since you didn't specify the amount of data initially, it was reasonable to suspect that you might exceed the express edition data size limits.
    If you pre-create the table as a non-partitioned table (i.e. do a CREATE TABLE manually) before importing, I would expect that would allow the import to succeed (of course, you'd have to ignore the warning that the object already existed when it was time to import).

  • How to fix partition table by use fdisk

    i installed vista with my os x.
    each time i boot into my vista the system shows "partition tablr not recognized" and then load some loaders from vista.
    there's also a message showing that " use windows fdisk" to fix the problem.
    i'm not good at computer. so please guide me step by step to solve the problem.
    thanks in advance.
    joh

    You should probably purchase a legitimate retail version of Windows Vista. The error comes from the BIOS emulation hack that bypasses the Vista activation function.
    It should eventually boot, however. After which, you can open the command shell, and type:
    *bootrec.exe /fixmbr*
    *bootrec.exe /fixboot*
    ... which ought to make the message go away (and Vista boot faster).

  • How to change partition table type

    I want to change my windows 7 partition table type, but I don't know anything about computer, is there any simple ways to do that? Someone recommend me Easeus partition master, which is a free partition software, but I don't know this kind of software,
    any advice?

    Hi,
    You can use diskpart command to convert partition table type.

  • How to dd Partition Table through First Partition

    Hi; I have a flash drive which has a single NTFS partition that fills up less space than the whole drive (so there's a bunch of empty/unused space at the end of the drive). I'd like to use dd to make an image from the very beginning of the drive (to catch the partition table) through the end of the NTFS partition, ignoring the empty space after it. I tried the commands below but they didn't seem to work (a copy of the drive had partition table issues):
    dd count=1 bs=512 if=/dev/sdb of=partition_table.img
    dd bs=8M if=/dev/sdb1 of=sdb1.img
    cat sdb1.img >> partition_table.img
    rm sdb1.img
    mv partition_table.img mydrive.img
    Any ideas? Am I failing to capture something between the partition table and the first partition? Or is it possible my partition table is not 512 bytes?

    My suggestion is to dd the MBR (dd if=/dev/XXX of=<image file> bs=512 count=1) and use ntfsclone or fsarchiver to make the image.
    But if you want to use dd for the whole image:
    $ fdisk -l /dev/sda
    Disk /dev/sda: 251.1 GB, 251059544064 bytes, 490350672 sectors
    Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    Disk label type: dos
    Disk identifier: 0x4d9ddc04
    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sda1 2048 2099199 1048576 83 Linux
    /dev/sda2 * 2099200 2303999 102400 83 Linux
    /dev/sda3 2304000 490350671 244023336 8e Linux LVM
    To image everything through the first partition, I would (dd if=/dev/sda of=image bs=512 count=2099200). I stop at 1+ the end of the partition, because the first sector is 0, rather than 1. You can also modify the bs for better performance, but you'll have to modify the count accordingly. For a 1M bs I think you divide the count by 2048 (FYI, this is completely unrelated to the fact that the partition starts on sector 2048). But I would suggest you do the math yourself.

  • Corrupt Pptx files. Need to repair them. Please help!

    Hey guys, there is big mess over here. 
    Here I quote: I made some presentation files for promoting our new business. I showed them to my boss. She was quite happy with my work and asked me to send them to our clients. Next day I sent them to all our clients. In the evening time boss got some mails
    from those clients that the files are not opening. So she asked me to make them again. 
    I have no more time and it is certainly impossible to make those files again but there must be a solution for this situation. Please help. Your help will be surely appreciated.

    I'd try them over here.

  • How to record partitioned tables in Data Modeler ?

    Hi,
    I have discovered the options for partitioned tables. Some questions remain, however.
    1) Static partitions
    For one table, a set of predefined partitions is set up in the data model. In certain situations, a new partition is added. Is it possible to generate alter table DDL from the model that will add this partition ?
    2) Dynamic partitions
    For another table, partitions are added and deleted on the fly (exhange partition). For this tabel, I would like to record just 1 partition, which is added when the tabels are created initially. It is not important to include the actual partitions when synchronizing with the database. Is it possible to skip this for a certain table (i.e. record this preference with the table, since it does not apply for all partitioned tables... ) ?
    Thanks,
    Richard.

    Hi Richard,

    In Data Modeler version 4.1, ALTER TABLE ... ADD PARTITION statements are generated for new LIST partitions, but not for other types of partitions.
    For another table, partitions are added and deleted on the fly (exhange partition). For this tabel, I would like to record just 1 partition, which is added when the tabels are created initially. It is not important to include the actual partitions when synchronizing with the database.

  • How to find partitioned tables whose loading may fail with ORA-14400 error

    Hi,
    We have several partitioned tables. Sometimes, when partitions are not created for that month, we get this error
    ORA-14400 inserted partition key does not map to any partition
    May I know if there is any script or sql which I can use to find out tables which may fail for loading if DBA won't create partitions in next 2 weeks?
    Thank You
    Sarayu K.S.

    Sure, you can:
    1.Look in DBA_TAB_PARTITIONS by partition_name if you use a particular naming convention, where owner = <your_owner> and table_name = <your_table_name> and partition_name = <your_expected_partition_name>
    2. Without going by partition name, you could use dba_tab_partitions and instead check that there is a partition for your table with a high_value you are expecting to use. Be aware that the high_value is a long datatype, so you will likely need to convert it to a varchar2.
    3. Before your big load, you could also insert one row into the destination table with the new partition key that will be used, and trap errors with an exception handler. Roll it back if it succeeds.
    4. Many partitions could be created in advance to avoid the constant monitoring of new partitions.
    5. Or you could also look into switching to interval partitioning if you are on 11g and get out of the business of having to create partitions manually.

  • In the help! The grip jack of my iMac does not work any more for this morning! How needs to make to repair it ? Please

    This morning, I wanted to listen to some music on my iMac via my earphones but the computer, did not get any more my earphones. Indeed, when I puts the sound, this one takes out outer loudspeakers and not my earphones. They are not posted in the preferences sound. I tried earphones on my mp3, they worked.
    You can help me to repair my grip jack. If they pleases you
    Sorry if you do not understand very well, I am French.
    Thank you!

    It sounds like the headphone jack on your iMac is having problems. One solution you might try is to insert and remove the earphones' jack several times. Sometimes this clears it up.
    If that doesn't work, you will probably need to have the iMac repaired. Is it under warranty or AppleCare? If so it should be covered at no charge. Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the iMac in to an Apple retail store or service provider. If you are outside of warranty they can give you an estimate for the cost.
    Best of luck.

  • How to create PARTITION table by?

    I have huge table(1million records) which affect query performance. I notice it may help by partitioning it into two. One contains heavily used records and another the rest. However Partition By Range seems applicable to LESS THAN. What I want to do is something like ' EST_TYP in ('L','N')' etc.
    Anyone can help? Any other advice on perf improvement? What I have done: 1>Reduced the no of EXT. 2>Created Index.
    Thanks in Advance

  • How to rebuild partition table

    Hi, everyone
    Two months ago I broke my partition table by trying to install windows 8. I had it repaired with "test-disk" , but the problem is that gparted now sees my disk as a whole 300Gb unpartitioned space, fdisk however recognizes the partition table. I was wondering what will happen if I press 'w' in fdisk will this format the partitions and erase everything, or will it just try to do something similar to what test-disk did? I want to do this because now I have a 50 gig partition left for windows and I want to add this to my / partition. Before the problems I used to do this kind of operations with gparted.
    Thanks

    That's why you zerox of the map (dd ... bs=440 count=1 or at least fdisk -l /dev/... >somefile) before you rip it up.  The latter is all I needed to save my butt when I borked a PT.  As long as you use your head, there is no reason dicking with the partition table particularly warrants a full data backup.
    That said, you can bet your @$$ I'd backup even "reaquirable" data in this situation, unless doing so was more trouble than reaquiring it would be.  "An ounce of prevention" and such.  Unique data, fugeddaboudit.  I have at least three copies of stuff I can't replace and don't want to lose.
