Problem during Rescue and Recovery!


Jim,

Let me save you the pain and suffering I have experienced.  As you can see you, you're the first one to the same comment about it.  Unfortunately, his system underwent a reformat ALL confused and partial!  You need to get the Lenovo recovery disk which I paid about $45 .00US.  Even with the recovery disk that the system was so garbled he couldn't read the disc.  What I had to do was to remove the hard drive and it disappeared completely and then the recovery disk would start.  Then you're at square one and can load everything that she needs.

I hope this helps!

  • Rescue and recovery will not restore backup files it finds when starting

    I recently had a system problem on my Lenovo computer and had to recreate the image. When I try to restore my backup using rescue and recovery (R & R), they prove inaccessible. How to access these backups?

    Details of the options selected in R & R are attached, as an image on the screen of the settings dialog box.

    Running R & R, backups (on an external HDD USB) are visible and can be selected as expected. When the computer restarts in the space of restoration work, after a warning do not turn off the power, you get the error message "the restore has failed because the backup was not found at the specified location. Accept that the computer restarts in Windows. In this case regardless of the options selected at the start of R & R.  Where appropriate I select the USB external storage device in the Setup program and select a backup of those listed.

    I also tried updating all Lenovo utilities, including R & R. The option 'get new updates"errors when downloading the package information Lenovo Service Center (1 on 1) at the helm of the 30% with the error" Exception should not met!

    A lot of ongoing issues.  Many Lenovo post deal with each issue. Intel, system update, create a recovery to the USB media.

    For now, I'll address your problems of rescue and recovery. It seems that your system worked well, until a database had records in doubles in it, and you want to use RI to restore a backup on your USB.

    Then you have attempted a return to the factory, which show a lot of questions.

    If I understand your request, you want to restore your system to some time in the past, using a backup RNR. Either last week or 2 months ago. Something that works.

    ===

    RNR will save all partitions on the disk C DD.  It never saves another HARD disk.  2 readers warning has been around for a while. If C and D are on the C drive, HARD drive, it will run through RNR.

    Single file restore only runs on the windows RNR.  But there is no need to restart standalone RNR (pf11 during startup).

    It is ok. At least the RNR version on windows can find and restore your USB /rrbackups, of 5 min or 30 hours. This works.

    ==

    Factory restore installs a RNR version right here. This version probably does not match the version on your USB. If you started the RNR factory with the USB version version, you might expect not found messages.

    ===

    On your system windows today, please state the version installed.  Start using pf11 and indicate the version installed.

    You cannot create recovery media and rescue on the same device. Your luck if anything boots on the USB (other positions).

    Essentially, the RNR standaone version must match the /rrbackups on USB.

    =

    How do restore you to the factory settings? pf11 through the work of rnr or external cd/dvd?

    You are the original owner of the machine?

  • Rescue and recovery blocks for hours at 0% of backup

    Hello

    My R61 ran quite OK, but slower over time. I got through rescue and recovery made a backup of the entire system on an external hard drive. (I had come back to XP and recently did a total system backup on the external HD). So I haven't started the rescue and recovery, thinking that he should simply reinstall it previously saved system. Alas at step 2 the progress of rescue and recovery, the new generation of the system stopped. Black screen with the message: «backup system is...» 0 % ». Here I wait for hours. Nothing progesses.

    What should I do? Island of 'progress' is already happening for 6 hours! (I see that my external HD flashes from time to time, but the computer does not seem to do anything).

    What should I do? I fear that if I press the power button to restart the computer, I will plant it completely.

    Please help me!

    Thanks in advance

    Rescue and recovery hung several times for hours. Yet, it seemed to work after 20 hours. Puhhhh...

    Lenovo at: Your UI during the rescue and recovery process is ineffective. He left me without any feedback for hours. Almost, I rebooted the computer during critical backups. Here you certainly should help the user to understand what to do and what not. How can I find out, it's OK to have a bar saying 0% progress made for 8 hours.

    Even now, I don't know what to do. The computer restarts, windows is OK. But now I can turn off the computer or is always something during rescue and recovery. The last time, he says, it is step 2 on a total of 5 steps. Is it still now something in the back? The rescue is complete? Where is the message telling me, he did the job.

    All users: be patient, do not hit anything it either by running a rescue and recovery.

    Lenovo: By the way, I had - after installing my computer with xp - makes a backup of the system. that I repeated it several times. When my HD arrived full, I remove some of the older versions, because anyway, I had the newer versions which worked perfectly. Alas, I didn't, which obviously rescue and recovery done a system save, later versions are simply updated. By removing the first version, I lost all the! So, I ended up having no actual backup of a validating at the beginning.  In short: Rescue and Recovery can be a tool very well for an IT expert. For the average user, there are much too many traps. Lenovo: Try to it you like-centered-design user instead of the user Board Chinese garbage, if in the future, you want to keep as «almost IBM» brand name For me, Lenovo - in this regard - is more "almost Chinese It-garbage".

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 - cannot access Rescue and Recovery - MBR poss problem?

    I have a Lenovo 3000 N200 sick who was running XP home. I could not start XP and can only access the Rescue and Recovery utility in the Lenovo recovery Partition that would be to rebuild the hard drive to factory settings IE. Windows XP with no data. I managed to copy the data using a Paragon backup cd and then made the fatal mistake of attempting a repair MBR, which was a very tempting option on the Paragon rescue cd. Now, not only it does not boot to XP, but I can run is even more Rescue and Recovery to reinstall XP which is the problem!

    If I boot with windows install disc and take the option recovery console it stops, statement that "recovery console could not find the hard drives connected to your computer. Setup cannot continue. "

    I was wondering if someone another backup MBR restore could help me with this?

    So, if someone has a Lenovo 3000 N200 work and is willing to try to save the MBR to send it to me, then please get in touch. It is probably useful to make a backup for yourself where the same problems happen to you!  In my view, there are a bunch of programs that backup the MBR for example MBRtool, MBRWizard and so on.

    Any ideas, offer accepted with gratitude.

    Yes I know I could buy the Lenovo recovery disk, but it is a matter of principle for me avoid paying £50 or so if I can avoid it! We'll see if we can help here...

    Thank you

    I am pleased Andyp!

    The solution was to set the primary partition to inactive and value the recovery partition Active, then restart and use the Lenovo Care button (now finally works) to access the function of recovery so I could return the laptop to factory State.

    No doubt there are plenty of ways to do it, but the approach I took to solve this problem is released under

    1. use another PC to download Paragon backup and restore (I actually used the trial edition now but the free edition may have a similar feature)

    2nd burn a CD bootable backup and recovery 10.0.

    3. start the CD Lenovo, and after a long wait, a menu should appear with 11 options, the first of them being Paragon backup and restore.

    4. Select Paragon backup and restore.

    5 select properties in the pick a task window and you will see two partitions, a big enough (in my case Go 143, called Preload) and the other is quite small (6 GB called SERVICEV001).

    Note: this is an opportunity brilliant to use the Back Up Partition option to make a backup on external drive USB of the two partitions as the reconstruction of the hard drive with Lenovo Care button you will lose all data.

    6 right-click the partition preloads and select Edit and set idle

    7. made the SERVICEV001 partition right click and select Edit and set the Active

    8 remove the backup and recovery of CD and put it somewhere safe

    9. restart the PC and Lenovo Care button (might be called something different) should now work, allowing you to restore the hard drive to factory settings which will erase all data of a personal nature. You did a backup?

    10 Windows should then start as usual, reinstall Paragon backup and restore, and restore your data.

    Finally, look at this as a lesson to

    (a) you get a writable DVD and use the Lenovo menu under windows to create a floppy disk from Lenovo rescue and recovery started.

    (b) use Paragon or equivalent to create copies of images of each partition and ordinary differential copies of the primary partition.

    I hope this will help other owners who have a hidden rescue for example partition. IBM and HP and would like to receive feedback.

    Finally, I must acknowledge assistance patient e-mail provided by Taisia Smirnova Paragon support by offering me this solution.

    best, Simonides

  • Rescue and Recovery 4.3 for Windows 7 problem on T60p

    Rescue and recovery 4.3 Advanced mode does not communicate with my USB devices.  I want to save a number of files that are on my USB support, but the R & R never contact him.  No problem viewing with explore.

  • Rescue and recovery - hard disk external bootable

    Hello!

    I had a problem with my external hard drive

    I formatted it, created the first 160 GB (mbr) partition

    I created backup top and makes bootable by the option "create rescue media.

    What is completed "successfully."

    But...

    I can't it boot from usb, because I got error:

    "NTLDR is missing".

    How to fix?

    Thank you very much

    What operating system are you using and what version of rescue and recovery?

    It is my understanding that ACTIVATE set must take place until all the data is placed into the USB port.

    My USB-hdd(1 tb) had files of data provider on it when I bought it. I ran to create a rescue support; It wouldn't boot.  I made the ACTIVE partition and still it would not boot. I have copied the close data of USB on my C drive, reformatted the USB with set ACTIVE partition.  I ran then create a support of rescue on the USB port and it will boot now.

    During the "boot failure" I think that it started just a black screen with a flashing underscore. Your system says NTLDR (nt bootloader) was not found. What is probably expected. It appears during the rescue process create a media, the necessary files are placed on the USB port, showing your list of directories. For some strange reason, the partition do NOT bootable after data are placed on the USB, then the rendered partition active. (Probably a problem breast to create a rescue support?).

    If you have a DVD burner, you can create a DVD rescue media, leaving your intact (with the data, but not bootable) USB. During a power outage, start you the DVD (standalone RNR) and that it points to the RNR backups on the USB port.

    I think that you focus too much on the message NTLDR not found and wait the NTLDR to appear on the USB port.

    On the other side of the room, there may be a problem with your boot sequence, which I doubt.

    I copy your files on your C drive, if possible _user, reformat the active USB/serial  Then everything should work.

  • How to reset the password of Lenovo Rescue and Recovery?

    Hi all!

    Here's my problem. Recently I discovered that I forgot my password for Lenovo Rescue and Recovery. I guess when I select the option "Protect your backups with a password", I could change my password for each new backup, whenever I remember my old password or not, but apparently not. So now I could not restore my previous backup and could not make a new one. Y at - it an option to reset the password?

    Thank you and sorry for my English

    Solved. Just uninstall the software, reboot, and install again. Now I can do a backup secure again.

  • Rescue and recovery under 64 bit creates a 32-bit Windows 7, why?

    Hello. I have an x 201 with W7 Pro (64-bit) OEM Lenovo. I replaced the hard so I use Rescue and Recovery to have a clean install of W7 and the X 201 good pilots.

    What I did to run enhanced backup and restore and then via Advanced Rescue and Recovery, I launched the option "create rescue media. I followed the instructions and created a rescue media USB that as far as I understand leaves my X 201 as it was when it left the factory.

    I booted from the USB without problems, restore the system and to my surprise it installed Windows 7 but 32-bit 64-bit not. And no drivers (no video, no network, no USB/PCI). I'm lost here. Why is installed 32-bit when all items generated under Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and what about drivers? Why it has not installed drivers?

    Looking at Enchaced backup and restore in my original installation icon, he says "Lenovo Enchanced backup and restore (32-bit)", so I don't know if that creates only the 32 bit instead of 64-bit OS.

    I'll now factory recovery disc option allows to see if that solved the problem.

    At this point, I thought that icon factory recovery disc was the same as the use of "create rescue media", because the two pretend to leave the hard drive in the same way, it was when the laptop has left the factory.

    If someone could clarify the difference between the two: 'factory recovery disk'vs'create rescue media', and also why the last of them creates a 32-bit OS rather than the 64-bit what it was supposed to create

    I will report how it goes with the task of recovery factory disc that I use now.

    Hello

    Quite interresting situaiton and to be honest not usual.

    However, what should happen, once you have created a rescue media, it's that you should have on the end, a single bootable media, using which you can save, etc.

    However, this support of rescue should not contain any OS, it should be only a boneless bootable media. The operating system and the rest should be on a separate stand.

    In the case where you had the original x 64 Bit OS, then using the recovery CD (as you confirmed as) should have restored the system to the State, as you received it.

    I don't understand, why it needs to change the version of the OS to another, when you initially x64Bit.
    Maybe some background info would be useful.

    See you soon

  • Rescue and recovery software will not remove preinstalled Partition

    I recently had a T450s by a great process and tries to get her comfortable environment again.

    My two latest Lenovo laptops had a recovery in the stock installation partition, and I was able to remove simply by running the top software and selecting an option amounting to "delete backup partition" or something allowing me to back up c.

    On this machine, I ran the software and he gave me an option to create a recovery media more. I installed the software, Thinkvantage Rescue and Recovery, and he has an option to delete backups, but does not recognize the partition.

    It's deeply annoying, I do not use it and he eats up to 15 GB. If anyone has a solution for this, please let me know.

    ADDENDUM:

    Moreover, now the software on the partition is not ongoing, saying: it does not find "recovburncd.exe" and try again. Help, please.

    So reinstall RNR has failed, but I realized that I could go into administrative tools and modify the disk partitions.

    I now have this problem solved, thank you for your comments.

  • Missing from the 40 GB hard drive! (R61) - Rescue and Recovery said there is no backups?

    I have a laptop R61 140 GB running on Windows Vista. It is around the age of 18 months.

    Explorer Windows says that 82 140 GB GB is used.

    When I add each folder I get only 45 GB of used space. All I really on this computer is music 26gig & some vacation photos.

    I had this problem since I first got the computer.

    I looked through discussions here that suggested that the backups can be the cause, and a program called Rescue and Recovery was the problem.

    However, when I opened this program it says that there are no backups available. However, this program is no doubt trying to run on my computer every Wednesday I get a popup saying my computer was turned off and I want to run it (I say no).

    Tools SW file is 2 GB.

    On the windows Explorer when I right-click I see there is something called 'points system recovery', there are many. However, I can't understand it here, where the data is stored, or how I would delete it.

    Please help me because it's very frustrating because I have about 40 GB of music I would like to pass through but right now that uses a lot of my remaining space.

  • Install upgrade-drive HARD T42 recovery discs but hard disk starts only in routine of Rescue and Recovery.

    I am doing a new installation in what follows rather than cloning because the system has not been reinstalled for 4 years.  A CD drive external usb (internal drive deleted), I installed the recovery disks on a 160 GB Samsung HM160HC PATA drive without problem.  Then you click on the button restart.  My T42 started immediately in the opening page of the routine of Rescue and Recovery.  On restart again once I use F12 to get the list of readers with the Samsung HDD.  This did not help.  Repeated many times start.  The computer could not watch any other player because the Samsung is the only one connected.  I'm tempted to download the update of the BIOS available from Lenovo that connected with the old 30 GB disk, while that my program of on-board controller is worm 3.04 and supposed to be suitable for the 160 GB drive upgrade.  If anyone has a suggestion please let me know.

    Hi ned11wils,

    Once the machine has restarted in recovery environment, there is an option there to restore to factory condition?

    IIRC, on these older machines, the restoration is a two-step process.  First use the CD to recreate the environment of recovery, then start the environment recovery and restore from the recovery partition BONE now restored.

  • Rescue and Recovery will restore all of the disk?

    I searched high and low for an answer to this question, but I'm not. I have use Rescue and Recovery to back up the drive of my laptop. If I have a problem of catastrophic disk, save and recovery will restore my entire drive to a new drive, including the service partition? I have a fully functional and updated disc to date after a full restore? (Guess that I restore using a floppy disk to boot Rescue and Recovery, which have I already have.)

    Well, I decided that I have a couple of hours on my hands and a fresh backup using rescue and recovery (in order to test whether or not he backs up the recovery partition) and a Windows Vista "complete PC Backup" (in this case that it fails).

    The result: Yes, when you restore a recent backup, it will also restore the recovery partition.

    I am very happy.

    Just got a X carbon 1 and modernized to win 10

    Wanted to use the system to make a picture, but I got

    ERROR: "there was a failure while compacting the virtual disk on the backup location. (0 x 80780151)

    Googled around, bu tno solution.

    Anyone know when it will be solved?

    And another problem. I am IBM and Lenovo user for several years, and the best backup system I've ever used is the rescue and recovery. After getting my new X 1 carbon with 8.1 Pro I upgraded to 10 Pro and if you come for the Lenovo of installation I clicked for works RandR 4.52, which proved in the software Lenovo, but unfortunately it download, unpack and then stops. Without any news. So I started the Setup file myslef, and... my God... it can not be installed!

    I'm angry.

    Why Lenovo not tell us this? And if she came, when is it ready?

    Lenovo Solution Center, if you use win8 or win 10, should offer NOT RNR as a backup option.

    If would be nice if they removed the advertising, "it takes a HDD to take backup more," store here.

    To win 10, I would like to start off the coast with a windows image backup.  Apparently, windows launched LSC backup, and you got the return code that you noted in the initial post. Backup Windows runs fast, but it lacks many features of RNR.

    I would like to run windows backup from the Control Panel, which you have done already. Some of the windows backup return codes and error messages, can be deceiving.  Check the EVENT VIEWER after windows backup error, to see if other return codes are present.

    Example: "you do have not enough free space on the device target to perform a backup' RC = 0 x 00000.

    Further, the question was NOT enough free space in the lecteur_systeme windows backup staging a zone index for vs.

    I would check the available in System_drive freespace.  This can be a hidden partition.  You need at least 200 MB freespace.

    A google search of the return code that State you have many successes.  I have try the backup, check the event viewer for VSS fail return code, which is passed back to backup windows.  If you have a VSS error, I would google search on the return code from VSS, windows backup not the return code.
