Aspire M5 - 481 how to recover the Ghost image on USB

I have Windows 7 Home Premimum on my M5-481.  I've successfully created a ghost a full backup of the "C:" drive on a USB key.  Now, I discovered I have a corrupt application that cannot be fixed by the seller.  So I want to recover the Aspire using Ghost backup.

My problem is that the recovery of the Ghost BACK does not see the USB. I checked the BIOS and can't see a parameter to allow a native USB drive.

So, any suggestions on how to make the USB drive visible to the BACK, or I could try to use a network storage device?

Thank you

Well, I was finally able to restore my Aspire, but it wasn't easy.  Here's what I did:

  1. I opened the BACK of eRecovery application and choose "restore windows and data."
  2. I have 4 DVD of my Acer Image backup.  Disc 1 took about an hour to process, then I got a "read error" about 1/2 on disc 2.  If the recovery has been abandoned.
  3. Fortunately, I have a purchased set of official Acer DVD recovery.  But failure at step 2 must have really messed up something because I couldn't open the Acer Recovery (Windows error) program.  So I couldn't use my Acer recovery disks.
  4. But, last resort, I booted from my DVD of Ghost and he finds the restore point I did a week ago.  I was actually able to restore the PC from a USB hard drive.  Problem solved after about 8 hours of stress.

I think I need to stick with Ghost to backup / recovery.

  • How to recover the art Image since an .mp3 file ID3

    Hi all

    Is it possible to recover images art ID3 of an audio file. I used successfully MetaDataControl API to retrieve other properties of file but I can't find the art inside picture specification.

    OK, I was interested in how do you extract the image of myself, I gave you just a generalization of what to do. I wrote a 'fast' service and dirty. Fuction has many types of treaties even if not used and I have not tested on several types of images and MP3s so use at your own risk. It is not optimized and don't go back not the 'mime type' when the runction is returned because I finished creating a new string rather than edit an existing one.

    Anyway, that this should work:

    public static net.rim.device.api.system.EncodedImage getID3Image(java.io.InputStream fs, long fsPos, long fsLength, String mimeType)
            throws java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException, java.io.IOException
    {
        /*---------------------------
         * ID3 v1 tags cannot contain images, so no need to process them.
         * ID3 v1 tags are also placed at the end of the MP3 so checking the beginning of the file won't do anything useful.
         *---------------------------

        //No image found
        mimeType = null;
        return null;
    }
    

    The sample code I used was:

    try
    {
        javax.microedition.io.file.FileConnection file = (javax.microedition.io.file.FileConnection)javax.microedition.io.Connector.open(path, javax.microedition.io.Connector.READ);
        if(file.exists())
        {
            java.io.InputStream fs = file.openInputStream();
            long pos = 0L;
            long length = file.fileSize();
            String mime = "";
            net.rim.device.api.system.EncodedImage image = getID3Image(fs, pos, length, mime);
            fs.close();
        }
        file.close();
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
    }
    

    Just the value of 'path' and an image will be returned.

    Edit: Added an if statement that changed value Boolean ver2. Also the length and the position probably don't matter, but it was just for safety, but I says that it can decode the description with UTF-16, the javadoc for 4.7.0 (the version I made and tested with) said that he supports of UTF-16 (Big Endian), but does not specify if Big Endian UTF-16 (not) is supported. Finally, a few points of optimization could be:

    • remove the descriptions (don't know not 100% if they determine if it is album art, the logo of the Publisher, etc.)
    • remove the image type (variable picType)
    • remove the minor version
    • change (if you decide to keep) "get byte" code description image so just realize that the bytes and let Java take care to get the bytes (as what the code for the type MIME)
    • replaceing the MIME parameter with a StringBuffer type so that you can get the MIME type when the function returns.
    • remove the "if(majorVersion == 2)" block because ver2 is set to true already and does not need to be redefined.

    Edit 2: Fixed a quick Oops, also found this which sets the value type (variable picType) image:

    • X 00 other
    • x 01 32 x 32 pixels 'file icon' (PNG only)
    • x 02 other file icon
    • X 03 cover (front)
    • x 04 (back) cover
    • x 05 page of the brochure
    • x 06 Media (e.g. lable side of the CD)
    • x 07 lead artist/lead performer/soloist
    • x 08 artist/performer
    • x 09 conductor
    • X0A Band/Orchestra
    • x0B composer
    • lyricist/text writer x0C
    • Saving x0D location
    • X0E during recording
    • x0F during execution
    • x 10 screenshot of film/video
    • X 11 has light colored fish
    • X 12 illustration
    • X 13 logo group/artist
    • x 14 logo editor/Studio

  • How to recover the complete installation of NDK IDE SDK?

    I just downloaded the gold 10.1, my NDK 10.0 and 10.1 in the same place. I have not updated my device and the IDE does not compile because the target device has older software.

    Now, I want to know how to recover the SDK outside of a full installation of QNX IDE. I just need an IDE if I could use several software development kits, and the IDE itself must have consumed a lot of HARD disk space.

    I like to keep the SDK installers so I can install them even without an internet connection (if I have to in the future). Someone can tell me how to recover (only the development kit) SDK full QNX IDE install and use with IDEs installed?

    I noticed that in the advanced SDK properties, there are two folder paths: Tools SDK and the Platform SDK. Can I copy these two files and use them also?

    If you still have the copy of the previous version of the sdk (two files 10.0 installation directory, host_10_0_10_536, and target_10_0_10_672 example), and if you are on Windows 7, you can copy these two files to the 10.1 installation directory and go to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Native SDK\qconfig and play a bit with .xml files that match the target sdk 10.0 (just in) change these two folders location paths).

    If you do not have a copy of them, the best solution is to click on the refresh icon and install the sdk that corresponds to your os from the target device.

    How to recover the lost password windows 7

    Hi Karrah,

    You can try to check if you have any other user account on the computer and try to connect to this account and change the password for your user account.

    You can also access the link below to learn more about Microsoft's strategy concerning lost or forgotten passwords.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/189126

    If you do not have any other user account on the computer, you may need to back up your data and contact the manufacturer of the computer for restore to factory settings or reinstall the operating system.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you and best regards,
