How to recover the original OS during installation of a different operating system

Hi all

I have a problem with my Thinkpad x 201. Original OS was Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on the main data partition and so I lost my original OS. But the partition recovery and partition of 1 GB of smal (system_drv) are still intact! Now I can not access the recovery partition in windows, nor can I access the ThinkVantage button at startup.

I found something on the similar problem - linux installed, but not Windows.

So can I get original OS and how to do it without having to purchase recovery discs?

Thank you very much for the help.

  • How to recover the original file names?

    Hello! Please help me.


    Accidentally, I changed the names of the videos that I used for Adobe Premiere. So now, every time I open the folder Adobe Premiere, videos are missing and replaced with a red screen "media disconnected". Is there any way I can recover the original file names without having to do it manually one by one?


    I tried to go back to a restore point, but it does not work. I can't locate too because I don't remember which video is which.


    I already edited almost 50 videos in this project it would take me a loooot of time to start all over again. :((


    Hope you can help me.

    If I understand you correctly, you changed the name of the file in Windows and can't remember what used to be file names. You have modified these in Premiere Pro, and now the project files, that you created do not know where to find the video files.

    Is this correct?

    If so, I may have a simple solution for you.

    Assuming that you're not maxing out every file so that they are all exactly the same length, the number of minutes and seconds and images should get you where you want to go. Almost as unique as a fingerprint on my PC, but I never capture a bunch of videos which are identical in time - although it is possible to do, I guess.

    Open a project file. Checking the properties of each file should reveal the name of file theoriginal and duration, which is also available directly on the thumbnail image (see image below).  Open the media browser, then look at the times on each clip. This should be enough to help you either republish or change the Windows name to what it was originally. It's always one at a time, but it shouldn't take too long. A pen and paper could help 50 videos.

  • How to recover the original features after installed CC

    My organization has bought the CC license for some of our systems. I installed it on a system where we already have a license on CS 6 installed by mistake. When I realized that, I advised our admin and he refused the license. However, none of the 6 Adobe applications open CS that worked correctly on this computer. I get a message that says that this Adobe license has been denied or rejected, or something like that. So I thought that it was as easy as uninstall CC and all other CC files send files to the Recycle Bin, but no. Even after all the CC files were completely removed from this computer, I still can't open the CS 6 original apps because the message about the license violated keeps popping up. How can I solve this problem? (so that the original CS 6 applications can still be used as if the cc installation never happened)

    Please check workaround under: joint licensing - if you have an active member of the creative cloud and a serial number for Lightroom 6

  • How to find the original COST of installation?

    Hi guys... could use some help with this if you can.

    I have to format my drive hard as all the space is taken up (clean). I have a real and verified the installation of Windows XP Microsoft Professional... However since the purchase of the software and install it, I lost the code OEM 25 figures that was originally used in the installation. I still have the drive... but of course, I need the code to be able to re-install the software. Is there somewhere in my computer can I retrieve this information? Or maybe the Microsoft website that of course it was checked there.
    Thanks in advance! :)

    If the original installation still work, download and install Belarc Advisor - www.belarc.com

    If it is still present, but non-functional, then there are off-line readers that can retrieve it if the registry is still intact.

  • How to store the original and to remove some duplicate songs in iTunes on a PC Win7, which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

    How to store the original and to remove some duplicate songs in iTunes on a PC Win7, which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

    I recently had to format my hard drive and reinstall iTunes 12.3.2.35 on my Win7 PC. As part of the re - install iTunes, I clicked on the button scan for music.  This has created duplicates several of my songs.  I deleted then the duplicate songs from iTunes, but when I went to play a few songs a pop-up said "the song would not be because the original could not be found.  You want to locate? "When I tried to locate the song it is not found, but when I pulled the songs out of the trash they could be found.

    How can I keep the original and remove any duplicate songs in iTunes on PC Win7 which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

    iTunes can create duplicates if the same content is added several times from outside the media folder when it is about to make copies of everything that is added to the library, or is added from an external drive that hosts the press kit that was disconnected during the launch of iTunes.

    Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.

    Use MAJ > display > show items to reproduce exactly to display the duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created.  If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.

    Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning to back up your library before deduping.

    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)

    The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.

  • 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 PSADMIN State of origin user profile?

    People,

    Hello. My user ID to log in the application designer is "PSADMIN". I just created PIA. "http://localhost/psp/ps/?cmd=login" accesses PeopleSoft access code page, and I use "PSADMIN" to connect. I can open all web pages after login. "PSADMIN" is the access profile and user profile.

    But after I create a "newUser" role and assign a list of the permissions for the role, then the role "newUser" a link to the user "PSADMIN" profile, I can't open most web pages after login in PeopleSoft signon page using "PSADMIN". The system get the message: "you do not have access to the collection of Navigation. Please contact your portal administrator.

    Can any people tell me how to recover the profile user "PSADMIN" State of origin so that all web pages open after the connection?


    Thank you.

    go to PIA by using a root as VP1 or PS user and remove what you added to the PSADMIN.

    If you have locked your root user by chance... unlocked by using backend.

    PSOPRDEFN TABLE, unlock root user using the acctlock update.

    then sign in using that and make changes to the PSADMIN. or just the background, you can delete the additional role of PSADMIN profile using the same table.

  • Restore complete PC - either does not start or before restoration, said "the disk is defined as active in the BIOS is too small to recover the original system drive."

    I am trying to restore an image backup Vista 64 is 428 GB, the drive under restoration is a Velociraptor 2x300GB RAID 0 (about 558 GB under Windows), and the drive on which the image originated was is labeled as a 750 GB drive (actually about 698 GB / 433 GB used). When I first made the attempt I got some message on the target drive, have to be cleaned by diskpart, so I did. After that, I was able to complete the restoration - but after the restoration, at startup, I get the message:

    "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected bootable media and press a key.

    And under Windows, the drive does not appear. Disk Management displays the disk as unallocated space. So I added a new Simple Volume and then tried the new restoration. But now I get the message:

    "The drive is set as enabled in the BIOS is too small to recover the original system drive."

    Even if the restore completed successfully after cleaning, the drive is empty, and the player has more than 100 GB more space than the size of the image. After the restoration after the own, why can't it detect the boot sector; and if I try to restore after formatting, why do we say that the disc is too small? How can I successfully restore?

    Hello

    It is actually quite easy.
    We knew that Oracle was looking for logsequence 1107. There is no archived log, it was deleted, or it has never generated. As you delete files, the 1st solution would be possible, BUT as there was only an instance crash so more old archived logs is not required for crash recovery. There is a need during the restoration of the old backup files, which is not our case.

    Thus, the missing log sequence has not been archived = > it is a redo log.
    To identify the required online redo log, we just to log query v$ as I suggest.

    Once the log identified file, we can recover it by specifying the redo log when you ask logsequence 1107.

    And it is on. We win! :)
