    Explain Factory update. Were you trying to restore your laptop to like it came from the Factory?
    What is the brand name of your computer ? Not enough information. ——— Be prepared to start tapping the F8 key when you press the power button. Using the arrow keys select – Last known good configuration. Press the Enter Key —– If this fails you need to try and find a system repair disc. To create one for Windows 7 (maybe from a friend who has windows 7 )
    Start – Control Panel – Backup and Restore Icon – at the left top – create a system repair disc.
    If this computer has never had the 3 DVD made to like set it back to like it came from the factory, than look in All Programs for how to make them, when and if it becomes possible.
    Only one set allowed. You can order the 3 Install DVD by using the Serial Number, anyway I did for an eMachine Notebook. $19.95 ———- I bought a use notebook and couldn’t read the Serial Number. How to find it – Start – All Programs – Accessories – command prompt – type – wmic bios get serialnumber – press the enter key ———- When Possible ?

    So you’re wondering if the corrupted 100 meg partition will interfere with the function of the recovery disks? And you’re looking for a bootable cd with diskpart on it so you can delete that partition before attempting recovery?

    Possibly one of the ‘ultimate’ boot cds will have diskpart on it. Assuming you have a SATA drive you’d probably want diskpart from a version later than XP.

    Another possibility is to boot with a Vista or 7 install disk and let it proceed to the point where you can delete existing partitions. Delete the partition(s), save changes and reboot with the recovery disks. There’s some links to windows 7 iso’s in my # 2 here:

    Generally 32bit programs install and run fin on 64bit systems. 32bit programs that use an older 16bit installer will fail since 16bit is no longer supported. Access should be no problem, but the problem may be in the ‘skin’ or program that access’ the data. You may find that within the programs folder directly and try compatibility on any .exe that you find there and see if that helps. If not then you may need to install a virtual XP machine and install it under that.

    Your best bet would be to find someone with an older machine running DOS to salvage the data. Don’t hold out too much hope though; floppies sitting for that much time will quite possibly have many errors and most backup programs of that day placed a catalog file on the last disk (to determine how many disks in the backup). If the catalog file is damaged, then the data is likely not salvageable…

    Looks like you’ve got some pretty bad corruption going on, or a nasty virus. I’m going to assume you’re pretty sure the machine’s not infected with anything, and run from there.

    DISM /restoreHealth checks your WinSxS directory, and compares it with Microsoft’s Windows file database by default. SFC checks your system against your WinSxS directory, and restores any corruption. So we’ll need to get DISM up and running before we worry about SFC.

    Since DISM depends on Windows Update, I could link to the article detailing how to reset Windows Update, and from there tell you to try DISM again, but I’m lazy and we probably have better things to do with our time.

    The easier solution, especially if this system isn’t on one of the preview rings, would be to make a Win10 disk, and boot from that disk. Go through the steps to bring up a Command Prompt from the repair system menu, and run:

    dism /image:d:\ /cleanup-image /restoreHealth /scratchDir:d:\temp

    (Where “d:” is the system drive, and d:\temp actually exists. The recovery disk probably won’t see Windows on C:, but rather D: DIR <driveLetter>: helps here.) That’ll compare your corrupted system to your recovery disk. From there, you should be able to run:

    sfc /scannow /offbootdir=d:\ /offwindir=d:\windows

    (Again, “d:” is the system drive, as seen by the recovery disk.)

    If you think booting from recovery media is too extreme, you can try an online DISM scan against the recovery disk. The command for that is:

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restoreHealth /source:wim:d:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess

    (Where “d:” is the recovery disk.)

    There is a way to do this in VLC, if not too elegant. Load the movie you want, open the playlist, make sure your movie is the only one in the playlist, and use Media -> Save Playlist to File to create an xspf file. Now you can achieve what you want by playing the with “extension” field. Here is an example:

    Playlist

    file://YOUR MOVIE
    Some title
    6884298

    0
    start-time=0
    stop-time=3142
    some-option=100

    file://YOUR MOVIE
    The Title
    6884298

    1
    start-time=3142
    stop-time=3193
    no-audio
    no-video
    some-option=100

    file://YOUR MOVIE
    The Title
    6884298

    3
    start-time=3193
    some-option=100

    Then save this again as an xspf file and open it with VLC (Media -> Open File). The example above becomes black between 52:23 and 53:14 (the times are in seconds in the file. 3142 and 3193 seconds). Basically you need to replicate the section and change the section to match the options and desired times.

  9. When you run your container with -v flag, which mean mount a directory from your Docker engine’s host into a container, will overwrite what you do in /home/Documents/node-app,such as npm install.

    When you run your container with -v flag, which mean mount a directory from your Docker engine’s host into a container, will overwrite what you do in /home/Documents/node-app,such as npm install.

    So you cannot see the node_modules directory in the container.

    $ docker run -d -P –name web -v /src/webapp:/webapp training/webapp python app.py

    This command mounts the host directory, /src/webapp, into the container at /webapp. If the path /webapp already exists inside the container’s image, the /src/webapp mount overlays but does not remove the pre-existing content. Once the mount is removed, the content is accessible again. This is consistent with the expected behavior of the mount command.

    mount a host directory as a data volume.As what the docs said,the pre-existing content of host directory will not be removed, but no information about what’s going on the exist directory of the container.

    There is a example to support my opinion.

    Dockerfile

    FROM alpine:latest
    WORKDIR /usr/src/app
    COPY . .

    I create a test.t file in the same directory of Dockerfile.

    Proving

    Run command docker build -t test-1 .
    Run command docker run –name test-c-1 -it test-1 /bin/sh,then your container will open bash.
    Run command ls -l in your container bash,it will show test.t file.
    Just use the same image.
    Run command docker run –name test-c-2 -v /home:/usr/src/app -it test-1 /bin/sh. You cannot find the file test.t in your test-c-2 container.
    That’s all.I hope it will help you.

    You started out in a way that I was not sure if you were answering a question or asking one but that got straightened out by the middle of it. I hope that this helps out some people. I always recommend setting Malwarebytes to “Scan for RootKits” which appears to be what helped you in the end. This proves that a good free program proves its usefulness everyday while some companies make money off patched together (and repatched) antique software and carry a reputation proportional to their advertising budget while doing little good. This does not mean there is no good pay for AV software but there are those making money for little effort (in my opinion).
