R60 always boots in Rescue and Recovery in Win XP

Hi all

I was intending to write a backup via Thinkvantage R & R, started from the start menu. As no target could be selected to save the backup fails.

After that I talked to one of my colleagues, who told me to use R & R by the window (this way he did the first backup), I reboot the machine via the restart button in the upper right. The rebootet of the machine, but rather to start Windows Thinkvantage R & R was launched again. No matter what I do, if I chose to boot from the disk HARD Thinkvantage R & R starts (if I chose to boot from USB od CD system on key or CD will start).

I can repeat to infinity, it will always start Thinkvantage R & a. I even tried to go back to the initial backup - without outcome

Maybe someone can tell me how to stop this circle.

Thank you in advance.

Hello

Sorry for this late reply, but I did not test this earlier.

Thanks for the tip, this is the first step to solve this problem. After I changed the boot flag, I could start XP - but only once. So once again, I changed the boot flag and I saw a notice about a failure and now waiting for the backup operation (this time, I watched the XP boot process, closer .) After that I gave up work on hold, I am now able to boot into XP and R & R as I want.

Thank you all for your help.

  • 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".

  • How to cancel a Rescue and Recovery

    Hi, I have a Lenovo X 61 laptop. My hard drive has been divided into two partitions: operating system and data. Recently, I found that my Windows was no longer able to boot. I managed to install Windows 7 in OS partition. All my files in the second partition has been preserved. My laptop was working fine then. I realized later however that the Lenovo drivers are gone (for example: recognition, which was not necessary, but good to have fingerprints). So by digging the box where my laptop was packed, I found the CD "Rescure and recovery." So I plugged in and restarted, thinking that it will just install the drivers needed in return. But then not only if it deleted Windows 7 that I just reinstalled, but it destroyed the partitions and delete all my data in the second partition. Is there some way I can restore the configuration partition and all data I had? Thanks in advance.

    not at all, rescue and recovery media is for the recovery of the device in default, as it was delivered to the customer. It is impossible to restore this operation in a standard way, if you did, which confirmed the operation in the wizard of R & R.

  • 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.

  • Cannot install Rescue and Recovery on T410

    Hi, I recently bought a refurbished Lenovo T410 and have an enough technical knowledge, so I took the advice of another Member on the forum to do certain things to get myself set up. One of them was to create the factory recovery with Rescue and Recovery disks. As this is not already installed on the machine, I downloaded it (tvtvrnr4.52_005en.exe) but it will not install. I get the message "error 25014 there was an installation of the Rescue and Boot Manager Error Recovery. Return code: 6'. Any ideas on how to solve it another way or the creation of recovery disks?

    The only chance to perform the recovery of the plant is if you have Lenovo_Recovery partition with several on this .wim files. But it seems that they were absent. So, get in touch with the support of Lenovo in your country and buy recovery discs.

  • Rescue and recovery after installing a Vista OEM


    Welcome to the forum Hyldahl,

    A number of things here.

    (1) the origin of this device came pre-loaded with XP.  This means that XP was also the operating system that has been loaded on the original partition. With these Thinkpads, customers have the ability to create their own set of Community designs. You would normally follow this path:

    Start-> programs-> ThinkVantage-> create recovery media

    Information on the creation of the RFI on this link:

    http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-68317

    You already have a set of your own community designs XP before installing Vista?

    (2) If you have installed the Vista RCDs and not create your RCD XP first, the XP recovery partition will be replaced by the Vista recovery partition.

    My guess is that you do not create your own community designs yet. If this is the case, you will need to get a copy of the original records for XP. You can try to contact your support local tech to get a copy of the DDR in XP.

    (3) in order to restore the windows to original factory State, you start by starting the machine and pressing the F11 key (or just boot from the original R & R cd). See the following link for the step by step guide to use Rescue and Recovery to recover Windows:

    http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?sitestyle=Lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70803

    I hope this covers everything to help you get started. Let me know if you need additional assistance.

  • IBM ThinkPad T43: Rescue and Recovery question

    Hello

    I have an IBM ThinkPad T43. The Rescue and Recovery program opens whenever I turn on my laptop after a failed attempt to restore my laptop to factory settings. I cannot even connect on Windows, because the Rescue and Recovery program opens upwards immediately after I turned on the power. I tried to restore my system to factory settings using the program and the product recovery disc I bought at Lenovo, in the hope of resolving the issue, but every time I'm prompt "IBM could not restore your system.

    How can I stop Rescue and Recovery of the opening and resume with normal startup in Windows? What should I do so that I am able to restore my laptop to factory settings?

    Please help if you have any suggestions. I appreciate it greatly! Thank you!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Error 25014 trying to install Lenovo Thinkvantage Rescue and Recovery! Help, please!

    Hello! Recently, I have restored my laptop with a general copy of Windows 7 pro 64-bit. I had to redo all the drivers and software (of course). I had installed Rescue and Recovery before but never used. I tried to reinstall it today and he throws back each time with the same error message (error code 25014 = 6)! I had installed linux but deleted and installed Windows again. I also have a 21 not used same GB partition (I have no idea how to combine). Any advice on how to work will appreciate it! Thanks for your help in advance!

    RC 25014 = 6 error is error install boot RNR Manager.

    Provide information:

    (1) your machine ship of Lenovo, with Lenovo factory system? If Yes, what operating system has been installed? Vista, windows 7 home, pro etc? This would install with 3 partitions: system_drv, Lenovo recovery, (C).

    (2) you say: I recently restored my laptop with a general copy of Windows 7 pro 64-bit

    Not that this means that you do not have a Lenovo factory restore, but actually installed a commercial version of win7 pro?

    I'll assume win7 pro retail for now.

    (3) you say: I had installed Rescue and Recovery before but never used.

    It was in the past, lets say on a shipped factory system Lenovo?

    (4) you declare: had installed linux but deleted and installed Windows again. I also have a not used 21 same GB partition

    ===

    It seems to me, your HARD drive had a top system.  I see Ubuntu mentioned in your other posts. Your HARD drive had several parttions, including the 21 GB partition. Then, you have decided to install a retail version of windows 7 pro.

    During a sale at retail of windows installation, you must pay attention as to where it will install.

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-Windows-7-a.html

    Note steps 7 and 8.

    It seems that you did the windows installation disk HARD existing, with the pre-existing partitions.

    ===

    RC = 6

    The simple answer is THAT NRR is already installed.  Did you uninstall RNR before installation?

    The answer is complex:

    During the installation of RBR went to add its boot manager entries, BCD (startup control data), he did NOT like the content of the BCD, IE other entries parked in the BCD, ie, Linux. He expects to have 2 slots used in BCD, windows, and windows RE.

    ===

    Reflect this. See if it fits your situation.

    ==

    I would erase the HARD disk via a standalone utility, then install win 7 pro retail and all issues should dissipate.

    This erase/delete can be done during the installation of windows.  refer to steps 7 and 8 above.

  • Rescue and recovery cannot delete backups

    Hello

    I have problem delete old backups with Rescue and Recovery - always when I try to delete them, it seems to work, but it is not, it never ends... I tried to remove one of all backups, only the last or only the oldest or all of them together, but without effect. I have 6 backups about 45 GB together. And by the way that r & R does not well at all - also when I click on optimize backup storage space, it does not work...

    Eventually, it is normal that when deleting old backups, computer seems cold and it takes a long time, but I don't know if it never ends.

    I have the latest version of Windows XP Pro SP3, R & R 4.21.0016 R61.

    Is there a solution?

    Thank you very much!

    V.K.

    Uninstall rescue and recovery of add/remove programs. It will remove the backups in this way.

  • 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?

  • 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.
