going, I'll be able to use the factory restore after hiding recovery drive Q?

Hello world!!

I recently bought E420 and I have restored factory settings once. Since then, the drive of Lenovo_recovery (Q) become visible in my exploring. Given that others also use this system, which anyone can mess with the recovery disk. I like to retrieve from the hard drive as its fast and easy so. I really never wanted to lose that drive. I tried to hide it

I found this article on the Lenovo support site http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-71742 (see). I followed the steps. There were LenovoQDrivie.exe such file in my recovery disk so I download the Lenovo_hide_Drive_Q.exe and run that. After that my drive is not viisble in my exploring. I checked it the diskmanagement (make a right click my computer-gale-diskmanagement) here I can see the drive letter has been removed from this disk and see the car now, 100% free space... How can happen? is it just hidden? or I deleted the recovery because the article is for vista and other series of thinkpad? Please answer.

I'm not currently check my system by running the factory as my system restore works very well and I have installed various related work in software.

To check I pressed on enter at the beginning and after that I pressed F11 as flashed on screen and I could see display (Lenovo recovery screen after putting a password) which gives various restoration system - as option, command, prompt recovery of start and end of factory default restore. I don't want to take the risk I have no restore selected at the start of the factory and restarted. Defragment in window as I see this player with fragmentation of 3%.

I just want to ask wheather my Lenovo_Drive is safe and I'll be able to use it to restore my system to factory default in the future? I don't want to try it now that the system is working fine and I don't want to take any chances.  In diskpart also I have lenovo dirve as partition 3 that is hidden. As I said could reach the screen giving 'restore defaults' opition, go, I'll be able to use this option in the future?

Called the hotline, that they were not able to answer...

I will be grateful if someone can help me...

Thank you


Hi Alexander,.

Windows 7 recovery would erase the disk and put 7 on the entire disc.  So, you don't want that.  I didn't know you already burned disks.  It's good that you did.

If you really want to test it, you could make a backup of the current system on external media, (such as a hard drive), and then run the recovery and restoration of the backup.  If it works, then you know recovery is correct.  If it isn't, then you could boot from the recovery discs you've done and restore it from your current backup.

If you do not want to take the chance to test it, then at least you know that with restore disks and backup to external media that you can restore the system to its current state, no matter what happens.

  • I will be able to use the pqservice partition after I have re-installed windows?

    Hello
    PC - Acer aod270.
    It had windows 7 installed starter.
    I reinstalled windows 7 Professional. I installed it on drive C. I left the pqservice partition and partition system (100 MB) only, has not formatted or anything.

    My pqservice partition will be usable, or should I reinstall windows professional still and everything to not have space unusable format?...

    Hi batusia

    If you leave the PQservice partition intact, then you will be able to use it if you want to restore Windows 7 Starter to your PC.

    If you erase the partition, then no, he will not be able to be used.

    If you need additional disk space, make sure you do recovery disks/USB key beforehand, so if you want, you can reinstall Windows 7 Starter.

  • I am not able to use the DLL

    Hi all

    I'm developing an application using LabView 8.6. I took the .net DLL reference. I have modified the DLL and tried to access the method I added in the DLL. But take when calling node, I have not found the new method. Then I copied the DLL to another folder from the new location reference. But it is made reference to former DLL and I get message "the version of the assembly, you have requested is automatically promoted to a later version by the .NET runtime". Also, in the dialog box select Builder .NET I can see the two DLLs.

    Please suggest the way so that I can be able to use the new DLL.

    Thank you best regards &,.

    You can open projects from versions with Premiere Pro, Yes. But I agree with Bob - make a copy of the project and open the copy. You won't be "up the Creek" if something goes wrong.

    Unless the site you develop is for the Asian market, I don't know why you want to use that particular font. The Basic, standard and digital alphabet punctuation glyphs has sans serif, Roman characters, but the rest is thousands of Kanji characters. While you can use the font .ttf and .otf and web fonts, it would be very unusual to use one so great. Pages should load quickly and 78 MB, with a value of faces to download for those who have connections slow Internet is not fast.

    I would take a different font without serifs. There are literally thousands who look identical or virtually identical to Yuanti.

    131 free and high quality without font serif to choose here. I'm sure you can find a desired.

    If the videos are Flash videos, you have disabled an option in Flash preferences to not allow sites to store Flash cookies on your machine. Made BBC videos in Flash are expecting to be able to store cookies Flash, so videos can not work with this option off Flash.

  • Satellite A350 is no longer able to use the WLan

    Hello guys,.

    so... I started using Bluetooth earlier, use of the Internet via a cable... Today I tried to use my WLan again, but it did not work (worked well before).
    So I tried to activate it via FN + F8, but all I can see is activate Bluetooth, one for the WLan disappeared?
    The WiFi light only blinks when Bluetooth is activated. I would rather turn off Bluetooth that not being able to use the WLan.

    I think it's a similar problem

    but I really didn't want to install a bad driver or anything like that.

    I use a 32-bit Vista and my PC-Tool says that I use these networks currently (I just copy and pasted because honestly, I have no idea, hahaha).
    Realtek RTL8102E Family PCI - E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) Version = 6.208.729.2008 MAC address = 00:23:5 A: 05:61:05
    Intel(r) WiFi Link 5100 AGN Version = 12.2.0.11 MAC address = 00:21:5 D: 62:D8:1 C

    I would be so happy if someone could help me fix the problem anytime soon, because I really need wireless capability soon. Thanks :)

    Former Satellite A350 was delivered origin with Vista OS, so at first I would like to know if you use original recovery image (OS) that you got with your laptop.
    If I understand you good WLAN card is installed and registered properly in Device Manager. Can you confirm this?

    I have Satellite A300 and a friend of my A350 but WLAn works properly on both machines so I m a bit confused why the WLAN option is missing when you use the FN + F8 key combination.
    I m wondering why WLAN is detected by the system but ignored by the utility of flash cards.

    I'm don't know if this will help, but try to follow:
    Enter the BIOS and set it to default settings
    Reseat the wireless network card.
    Reinstall the extra value package, and check again.

    If the problem persists after doing all this, you have to do a final check and reinstall the OS using original recovery image that you got with your laptop. It's a way more radical, but certainly more efficient to solve a software problem.

  • Satellite A100: I am not able to use the keys FN - common module error

    HY,

    I have a toshiba satellite A100 series and I have a problem:
    I'm not able to use the fn functions (for example fn + f9 to turn off the touchpad or fn + f3 to the eve and so on...) and I got an error concerning "common module.

    A dialog box told me that the common module is closed...
    Someone knows this problem?

    I'm sorry for English...

    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t know why this error message and why the common modules stopped working, but to my knowledge, the common modules are needed to run and use the FN keys for example.

    So here is my advice;
    Go to Toshiba's European diver page, choose the common law modules, download, unzip, and reinstall it again!

    After restarting again the FN keys should work again.

    Best regards and good luck

  • RN204: TB 2 x 4 and 1 x 2 and 1 x 3 TB - not able to use the full capacity

    OS: 6.4.1

    Hello

    I spent many hours up to now to gather without success. The calculator RAID netgear said 8.16 TB in X-Raid and Flex - Raid 5 with my combination of hard drives, but I'm not able to put in place. As I want to use the encryption I started with a Flex - Raid 5 with 4 hard drives, resulting in a volume< 6="" tb="" (4x="" 2="" tb="" as="" raid="" 5)="" and="" i'm="" not="" able="" to="" use="" the="" capacity="">

    What is the right way to configure the system with full capacity of 8.16 TB (perhaps with several volumes)? I do not know more what to try and to reset the system and let X-Raid decide will not work because you cannot configure X-Raid with encryption.

    I think that to use the entire space, we need something like:

    RAID 5 on all 4 hard drives with 2 TB = 6 TB of usable capacity

    RAID 5 on 3 hard disks with a capacity of 1 TB = 2 TB

    RAID 1 on 2 hard drives with a capacity of 1 TB = 1 to

    But HOW? Don't see no way to add a volume because all HDDs are 'blue', they do not serve at full capacity!

    Here my current situation started with all the devices that have been installed since the beginning (it is not a HARD extended drive configuration).

    It is excactly what I expect it works when buying the RN204. But this device is now on its way to Amazon and my new QNAP 431 + initialization of disks now!

    Thanks for all your help!

  • You are able to use the CD of Windows Vista operating system on a laptop that has Windows 7 Home on it to use the Interface of Windows Vista?

    My situation is that I have a laptop that is a Windows 7 machine. I have a need where I'm considering purchasing a CD of Windows Vista operating system. It comes to be able to use the Interface of Windows Vista? I have a technical support of experience under my belt and I remember that if you need to have a different operating system available that you can use this operating system without installing it on your system.

    I really could use a version of Windows Vista now my educational purposes. My current computer has Windows 7 home running on it right now. Could you or someone give me Options to work with. I'll look forward to your response.

    Thank you
