helps the system restore

Hello

I have my IBM T - 42 2373-DC2 for awhile now. A year ago, I installed linux Ubuntu. I never noticed until now, I can't launch the rescue and recovery to factory settings:

1. Select the recovery in the Grub to the boot partition, which has already worked, now gave me the blue screen.

2. I panicked and delete all partitions of linux I created - it did not help.

3. I think that because of my frequent uncautious reboots, my work windows now gave me the blue screen too.

4. I deleted the windows partition, leaving only the EISA partition - it has not helped.

5. I installed windows xp with a cd - still cannot go to R & R at work.

6. now, I have my computer work, but I lost all the drivers, Access IBM benefits etc.

a. can you help to restore my system? Note that EISA patition is in original condition and has never been amended. I just need a patch to run it.

b. If not, I can find all the programs supplied with the laptop of Lenovo or IBM Web sites?

Thank you

Vladi

Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this thread, I found a solution.

I downloaded and installed softwere Rescue and Recovery of:

http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?sitestyle=Lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70034

In this way, that I found the F11 function to reboot. Using it, I could access the menu of R & R at the start where I found the opportunity to restore the system to its original factory condition. Now my T42 works very well.

Nice day!

  • Errors in Windows 7 with Windows Help and Support, network connection, and the system restore

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 (4 years), sometimes overheated with heavy use. Normally I can cool, restart and wear. However, my laptop just overheated and closes, and this time I encounter all sorts of problems.
    First of all, after the reboot, I noticed that the system does not automatically connected to my Wi - Fi (it does not even recognize the available network).
    Secondly, in attempting to fix the network problem, I clicked on the link "Troubleshooting", only to receive the following error message "an unexpected error has occurred. ID of Package cannot continue the Troubleshooting Wizard": unknown path: C:\Windows\diagnostics\system\networking error Code: 0x8007045A

    Third, because troubleshooting did not work, I thought I'd try the help and Support Windows to search for answers. However, when I opened it, I received the following message: "Windows Help and support has encountered a problem. You might be able to solve the problem by restarting Windows Help and Support. If the problem persists, proceed as follows: 1. search the online help on the Windows website.  2. contact your manufacturer of computers or Microsoft Support for assistance. There could be a problem with one or more Windows system files or folders on your computer. "Because I could not connect to the internet, these suggestions and links were useless.

    Fourthly, as I failed to locate the problem, I tried a system restore. However, after he appeared to run (took about 30 min) and restarted Windows, the following message appeared: "system restore was not entirely successful. The system files and settings on your computer did not change. Details: System Restore could not access a file. This is probably because an antivirus program is running on the computer.

The following response appears: "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and repaired successfully details can be found in the CBS.log newspaper... File system changes will take effect after the next reboot. "After restarting, the internet connection problem seems to have been resolved. Service work. and Windows Help and Support also works! I hope it helps someone else!

    Hi Lorenacadi,

    Thanks for sharing of the resolution. Your efforts and patience are highly appreciated.

    In addition to the emission of heat:

    Two things inside the laptop generate heat - power (in the place where the power cord plugged in) and the processor.  The CPU has a heater and a fan to help disperse the heat and keep the CPU at a reasonable temperature.  Hot air is sent on the vents, and air at room temperature between in other events.
    What happens generally is dust forms near the vents, near the Airways within the laptop computer which lead to the mouths and on the CPU fan itself.  All these sources of dust cause airflow slow down, so that the hot air lingers and gets even hotter.  To resolve this problem, you will need to take the laptop apart and 'very good' to clean the dust and the CPU fan.

    Another potential source of heat which would be composed of dust problem might be software related.  More 'work' the CPU must do the most energy is needed and therefore more heat is released.

    keimanzero,

    Comcast of Norton Security Suite version is installed? If Yes, who and perhaps malware is most likely to cause questions you have published, in particular the failure of the restoration of the system.
    First, configure the system to boot - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    NOTE: Start-up mode minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

    Download and Save the update system (or CheckSUR) tool. You will need to download the specific Version of CheckSUR corresponding to the architecture of the system to Windows 7. If you do not know the architecture of the system, and then click the link that says "Click here to show or hide the instructions step by step with images" under method 2: download the update directly system preparation tool from Microsoft Download Center .
    Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

    Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Now, run CheckSUR with the system connected to the internet because it will download the .cab for system files. Reboot once CheckSUR is complete.

    Secondly, I suggest that you run the File Checker system while in the same clean boot state.
    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the field search programs and files .
    2. Right click on cmd.exe in the programs of list, and then choose 'run as administrator '.
      If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    3. At the command prompt, enter the following line exactly as written including the space between thec and the/and then press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problems facing the system have been resolved.

    If they are not, you will need to contact Norton support for the version of Norton Internet Security Comcast to get help, or just uninstall NIS, run the Norton removal tool (right click Norton_Removal_Tool.exe, choose "Run as Administrator"), reboot and then check to see if the problems are still occurring.

  • Printer continues to stop & requires the system restore?

    We noticed a delay problem where printer stop printing.  What happens with XP and Windows7, but they show different symptoms:

    With XP, the printer also show online.  However, to get anything to print.  It affects all users, is not corrected by updated printer spooler restarts, restart, change USB port, cable changes or printer resets.  No errors in the logs.

    With Windows7, printers go offline or completely disappear and stop the spooler.  You can restart the spooler and printers reappear for a short period, but they disappear in a few seconds.  As noted above, nothing seems to correct the problem.  It's just generic elements in newspapers, but nothing specific.

    The only thing that solves the problem is a system restore?  We can link to problems individuals patch.

    Does anyone else know this?

    The only thing that helps for XP and Win 7 is the system restore?  Looks like corrupted printer drivers (even though it's a bit strange that you experience on the two operating systems).

    Simply download and install a fresh printer driver is not enough.  You have to clean the old one.

    For XP, see His Article.  The critical step is step 4.

    For Windows 7, replace step 4 with the following text:
    Restart the print spooler
    Open devices and printers
    Select a printer (click only)
    Click the print server properties in the toolbar at the top of the window
    Click the tab drivers
    Remove the suspect drivers

    If you can not do what the above because the print spooler is not running, after return and specify which version of Windows 7 you have.

  • Is the system restore wiped XP Recovery disk space?

    I definitely OE deleted messages, and then wipe the hard drive.  I need to do a restore of the system because of an annoying popup Windows start happened after deleting some files after you uninstall an HP printer.  A system restore will cancel the changes on the hard disk, allowing thus the recovery of these messages permanently deleted using Recuva or another program recovery?  That I don't want to happen as I am to get rid of the computer (I bought a new).

    If you you debarrassez of your PC anyway, why not simply wipe the hard drive with a program of format-based security (Google can help)? Even if the system restore does not return emails, there is still a lot of information on this computer, so that you can not someone else access using a different type of deleted file recovery program. Never made a purchase online? Access your bank account? May make changes to your social security account or 401k? It's all there somewhere.

    If this a brand like HP or Dell PC, you should have a recovery or disk partition which will allow you to restore the first day.  Which will be enough to thwart the average snooper a little better than average.
    If it's not, and you have the OS disk, you can wipe it off yourself and do a clean install.

    Help us understand what "I lost the ability to restore the system" actually mean for you...

    Are you unable to launch/open the system restore?
    Are you unable to create a new Restore Point manually?
    Your system restore calendar is empty dates?
    You preform a restore and get a message that has failed or nothing has changed?

    If the restore in safe mode will not do, keep reading:

    It would be useful to know a few things about your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?
