Not finding the readers (Linux)

Hi, I use an Acer Aspire desktop computer, he had been corrupted by the virus to other people who visit * websites.

The machine came with a 1 TB HARD drive and a CD/DVD drive.

I had to wipe the HARD drive completely and decided to install Ubuntu Linux as Windows did not come with an installation disc.  This machine is 16 months old.  When I try to start the message is: "Reboot and select proper boot device or Insert boot media in selected device and press a key."

I tried both but the same message...

I tried to watch the CMOS configuration, it does not show or other readers.  It shows something like IPV4 and IPV6 there are other letters before these but I do not remember that the thing wants a password now, I did not a so I have no idea what it is.

So I'm between Scylla and Charybdis.   Any help would be accepted with gratitude.  I did not fill in the lower because there is no operating system Linux listed.

Thank you

Rod J.

P.S. I took the hard drive and the CD/DVD drive out and tried both on my own computer, both work perfectly.

    You could do a repair installation with a CD of Windows XP with SP3 integrated already.  However, unless this is a new installation that you have installed SP2 on so you could get then SP3 installed on it - you have obviously been broadcast for some time without a lot of fixed security and tastes and your system could very well be stripped because of this.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  • Can not find the file init for the database instance

    I have installed Oracle 10 g under Linux CentOS, run netca to create listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files, then I run dbca to create the myodb database and orcl instance.



    Now when I run dbstart, in the boot log, that it is said that he could not find the file orcl example init. so that the database myodb, he says:

    < em > / oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/dbstart: database instance "myodb' hot began.





    < /em > my questions:



    1. why it is said when I run dbstart both myodb & orcl are instances of database, I created myodb as the General database, while orcl corresponds to the instance, here it says:

    instance of < em > data treatment "orcl": journal file /oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/startup.log

    Database instance "myodb' of treatment: save the /oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/startup.log file



    < /em > is the name of the General database is considered an instance itself and can be used alternatively with the instance of word?



    2 when I created the database using dbca, I made the password for users of SYSTEM & SYS.



    When I try to connect to sqlplus using the system/mypassword, here it says:



    < strong > < em > ORA-01034: ORACLE is not available

    ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist

    Linux error: 2: no such file or directory < /em > < / strong >



    3. the database myodb started but it is not mentioned in my tnsnames file or the listener, while one mentioned is orcl has not begun, how is it? I know I'm missing a dir for /orcl in/oracle/home/admin, something that we find for the myodb, where there is/oracle/home/admin/myodb/pfile/init file.



    How can I fix this?



    4. What is the use of the command sql, < strong > edit < facilities > system registry, told me in another thread to connect to an idle instance with sqlplus and run this command, here what I got:



    < em > ERROR on line 1:

    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available



    < /em > 5 - can I just rely on the name of the General database and forget the thing of the Forum? I'm just confused about the difference and do not know how the orcl instance was created, it has not been created with dbca, because when I run dbca he says it's already there, create another instance, so I commented the sid parameter and now I amn't during its creation and how to retrieve its files if I need to re - create it again.



    Note: it is located in the bash_profile as $ORACLE_SID = orcl, why it's the only game, while General MYODB database name is not set, can be there rather than on the instance or SID in the bash_profile?





    Sorry for the many questions, this is the thing of the instance and their related discipline, I appreciate your help.



    Thanks in advance.




    If you have only 1 instance "orcl" then the oratab file should have only 1 entry - only for "orcl". Along, only one instance "myodb" {with the db_name "myodb"} must be started.
    The database Instance is identified by the SID - IE the ORACLE_SID.

    Normally, the SID and DB_NAME are the same - and they do like default value is the same when you run dbca. You have changed probably manually the db_name in dbca.

    If the listener is running on port 1521 and is started before the database instance, the database instance automatically saves with the listener. If the listener is started after the database instance, and then the command 'ALTER SYSTEM REGISTER' in the database instance indicates PMON to register with the listener.
    If you do not want to depend on the automatic check of the database with the listener instance, then you can include the information database (SID!) in the listener.ora. In addition, which would be caused if the listener is not on the default port 1521.

    See my posting in this thread: oracle sid and database the name of for more notes.

    A database can contain multiple schemas - each schema is a different database account. In other implementations of database (non-Oracle), what is called a "database", it is called a 'plan' in Oracle - but that is created as a database account. Database accounts are listed in DBA_USERS - if a user "owns" objects, it's a 'plan', otherwise, it is only a user. {Oracle also provides a CREATE SCHEMA command to create multiple objects in a single command.}

    Hello

    I hope someone can help. Today, I got a new installed wireless router. Until now my main and most recent computer can connect to the internet fine (so I know this isn't a network problem), but my old computer does not find the network when scherching of available networks, it may pick up other networks and communicate with them simply not my own. It is the first time that I am trying to connect to this wireless computer.

    The computer is a HP pavilion t770.uk Windows xp sp3.

    You need to replace the network adapter. The current NIC is older than the specification of N, so it can not communicate with this Protocol.

    You can try to configure your router and the new pc to use b, if they allow.
