Which mode do I in my system, inheritance or UEFI?
I have a hp laptop with win. 7 pro. I want to see I have legacy or uefi and all the forums I go to says to go to the Panther file and find setupact.log and I did this and I do not have this file, and then I found out from another site that, sometimes, c.cleaner will get rid of this file, so, I was wondering if there is another way to know.
Another site said there are other ways, but it's complicated...? .. .any help would be appreciated, it's only cause I'm learning computers and there is no 911 on this subject, just curious... Thank you...
If you do not see the "efi" as in the screenshot, you have not UEFI. What you have is a normal BIOS as has been around for years... Pass the mouse on the C drive in disk management and you should see the following... File system, boot, Page Active etc. There is NO mention of "GPT" or "MBR"... Why is it a problem anyway?

See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery. Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process... Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure. They will tell you how to do this. Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc). There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

Hi, I need help to install my creative suite 5 web premium cd on my new pc which is windows 64-bit operating system 8, thanks copy and install from the desktop directory that contains the content of the CD. The latest patch to update this system was .net framework 4 This behavior has occurred on several machines after a power failure in our factory caused all systems restart. I have run chkdsk I ran sfc SafeMode internet works fine. Clean boot does not solve the problem. Cannot remove .net framework 4 because I can't get windows installation service to work properly. X red on the connection in normal mode I run with the reset.cmd file subinacl to reset all the registry settings. It gave no results. I looked at all of the services that are running successfully in normal mode and those that are run in mode safe and that services to start. This got me internet again in normal mode, but we are far from finished there are a lot of services is still needed. I'll make one by an approach to see what will begin and what doesn't. System Restore was successful, but had no bearing on the issue. Here's the solution that worked. Safe Mode boot on computers that are running Windows live onecar I ran as administrator onecare removal tool Remove the Adobe Flash 10 utility Open msconfig and services.msc enable all services that are running in safe mode to run msconfig on the next reboot. Also enable required services for Windows updates and windows install Enable BITS, com +, Windows udpate, workstation and service server and all dependent services. If you miss some that is good because you and individual services and start them from services.msc when the next restart. Restart the machine. I found that after this reboot a few updates have been posted in the update list installed in the control panel that had not been previously listed. Remove all instances of Java (cannot be done in safe mode) Reinstall Java and flash player from their respective Web sites I installed Microsoft Security Essentials www.microsoft.com/security_essentials Run windows update and install the updates. run msconfig and select normal startup Restart and ensure normal operation.

Then an error pops up: System will restart, close & save all of the work, a critical error has occurred. Also MS Security Essentials showed the virus in the System32 folder, he said in order to clean the system of the computer must be restarted. I continued to clean and restart my computer several times. I even rebooted in Mode safe to remove the virus. Nothing has worked. Finally, I rebooted in Mode safe mode with command prompt & I manually deleted the Services folder where the virus. There are 2 folders called Services but had a Services.exe so I deleted that one.

Switching mode inherited in UEFI BIOS after Windows 7 upgrade Win10 I have an Inspiron 660. Last fall, I upgraded Win 7 to win 10/64. I was watching the news system recently and I noticed that the BIOS was set to legacy. I see that UEFI is a step up from the BIOS. Is it safe to pass after the upgrade mode Legacy BIOS UEFI? If you have Win 7, it was probably installed as legacy (MBR). The upgrade would have left it in this configuration. If you have a UEFI bios, you will need to do a clean install and select Install Media UEFI version. Installation cannot convert the current drive TPG unless all the partitions have been deleted. So basically, if you don't want to remake your system, leave it in the configuration of legacy. I'm unable to save all the files on my pc which runs with Vista Ultimate operating system I'm unable to save all the files in any application. The dialog box type of flickers in the background, but nothing happens. It happens if I opened a pdf file from any source (be it on my drive hard or on the web) and click on "Save as" to save another copy. It happens when I'm using a web-based e-mail service, and if I want to add an attachment, as soon as I click on the Upload button, nothing happens. It happens when I try to export a scanned image of my scanner, to a file. I get no error with the exception of this shimmering when one would expect to see a dialog box. But, it happens when I create a new file in Notepad, which is a weird exception It started to arrive 3 days ago, and I have not loaded any new software changed the settings I can think. (with the exception of mcAfee who has downloaded an update almost everyday) I restarted my computer several times since and searched the net to find answers, but it seems I'm the only one afflicted. I would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this. Thank you I ran scandisk and check sfc, but that did not help. Instead of trying a system restore, I tried the opposite: installed at every possible update available. I installed 14 updates: Creating native MSI bundle which is "per user" - based (no 'system' - based) Try I checked that code bundler MSI and it should honour it.

Mark Windows XP mode 7: Possible in operating system called? I would like to use Workstation 6.5 to test the new feature "XP Mode" in the Windows 7 RC 7100, which just launched, but since the feature requires support for hardware virtualization, it seems that it is not possible from the prompt that OS doesn't seem to be able to 'see' this feature of the CPU directly. Anyone know if there is a way to make this work? That won't be possible, just as you can't run hyper-V in a virtual machine, it has to do with the OS who need access to the VT instructions which are not presented to the virtual machine. Satellite C55A - 1 K 6 - partition which is necessary for the Toshiba system recovery? I have a laptop that Toshiba Satellite C55A - 1 K 6. In the past, I deleted the Partition Recovery Toshiba by mistake and now I want to ask the cause of the thing of this... When I go to disk management in Windows 8 (which preinstalled by Toshiba on my laptop) I see four partitions... The first partition is close to 1 GB and I think his need for Windows 8, then I see C and D for my Windows 8 and at the end there is a 11 GB partition and it is hidden and it does not appear in my computer in Windows... I just created 3 * 4.5 GB defined via Rescue Media Creator Toshiba Recovery DVD and now if I delete all the partitions on the hard drive, can I use these DVD media to restore my laptop to its original state, when I bought it or that I still need the recovery Partition on the HARD drive instead of using recovery DVd media? If I delete all the partitions on the hard drive now, are these DVD media are enough to return to the first State independent or not? Sorry for my bad English and I hope to describe things in my head... :) Sincerely... > in the past, I have deleted the error Toshiba Recovery Partition > The first partition is close to 1 GB and I think that his need of Windows 8. > then I see C and D for my Windows 8 > and at the end there is a 11 GB partition and it is hidden and it does not appear in my computer in Windows. > I just created 3 * 4.5 GB defined via Rescue Media Creator Toshiba Recovery DVD and now if I delete all the partitions on the hard drive, can I use these DVD media to restore my laptop to its first State The recovery DVD set would be to format the HARD drive and would recreate once more all partitions.

This means:
(.) The MSI should install to the local directory of the user
(.) There should be no admin permission required
When you use the default < fx: deploy... nativebundle = 'msi'... > element - ANT-, the MSI is created "system-wide" basis, installation in ' / Prorgram Files "and asking the admin permission.
There is no concrete indication in the Oracle documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/self-contained-packaging.htm) how to create "per user" basis of MSI files. Maybe, someone already did it and could tell the imprortant steps...
Thank you!
PS: I know - using the .exe-company with Inno Setup will create "by user" installers by default, but I don't want to use if possible .exe
Although the name of the parameter gives no indication this is system vs by user :)
It was really bad move since the recovery partition is necessary in order to create the recovery disk or recover the laptop with HARD drive recovery option.
That s right.

It looks like the recovery partition. But I put t understand why you said earlier that you deleted the Toshiba recovery partition. Could you please clarify this statement?
The answer is: Yes, it will restore the laptop to the State as on the first day of purchase.
