Rescue and recovery and windows 8.1

Hello

For the last 4 years, I used Rescue and Recovery on the my ThinkPad to keep backups (really liked the functionality of incremental backup) and restore unique when files necessary.

I have now just received a new X 1 carbon gen3 coming with default Windows 8.1 and a lot of the classic ThinkVantage tools are missing. I've heard many of these tools no longer exist or are replaced by "apps".

But what of Rescue and Recovery? Impossible to find anywhere for Windows 8.1 and it is really a great tool.

Any idea? I just missed the link somewhere? It's official, and it tools is not taken in charge (and will never) on Windows 8.1? No work around? (such as installation of Windows 7 and cross my fingers?)

Thanks for your comments on that (I'm already hating Windows 8.1, fortunately Windows 10 will be better...)

Rescue and Recovery is not supported on 8 win 8.1 you can try using windows backup.

  • Use 'restore factory of Rescue and Recovery' to upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit windows 7

    I have 6 GB of ram on my Lenovo SL410. It runs win 7 32-bit.
    Windows shows that it is capable of 64-bit.
    Can I use "restore factory Rescue and Recovery" to perform the installation of win 7 64 bit?

    Thank you

    Your recovery DVDs are listed here:

    http://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ThinkPad-SL-series-laptops/ThinkPad-SL...

    I guess if your recovery partition factory is win 7, 32 bit, it will restore win 7, 32 bit.

    You can order the win7 64 bit DVD for about $50 US recovery.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    My mistake!  I wrongly assumed that the day of rescue & recovery update would allow me to restore individual files.  I forgot to read the text information installation included with the download.  R & R works, but does not have access to any previous file.  Too bad.

  • 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 work do not

    I erased from my hard drive and installed Ubuntu. Now I need Vista to use some software to test for my state bar examination. Rescue and recovery disks as well as keep the f11 system restore gives me an error of starting. Vista is gone for good? Lenovo wants to charge me $45 to send discs that will work. Can get an a .iso for this version (Vista Business SP1 64, I think) somewhere and use my activation key product on the lower part of the PC?

  • Rescue and recovery lists no backup on USB Iomega eGO drive

    Hello

    I have been using an Iomega eGO external backups USB drive.

    I was able to identify and remove (if necessary) backups in Windows 7 and rescue & recovery running, but I can't get the list of backups at the start of a recovery in rescue & recovery DVD.

    Basically I replaces unencrypted with a SSD hard drive that supports encryption.

    The goal was to use a full backup immediately before removing the HARD drive to restore the complete system.

    At the start of the recovery DVDs, recovery utility & rescue lists not all backups, even when the check box for the list of backups on other systems is checked.

    It makes no difference if the selection of THE places or USB external drive.

    Any ideas?

    Backups are not much good if you can't get back them.

    If my old drive did not then I would be in a worse state than this. I can't say I'm impressed.

    Well, I've finally sorted this issue.

    I tried to create a new recovery disk.

    I even tried the recovery time in Windows and see what backups it detected. Yet once, I drew a blank.

    The question was this:

    On my W510 at least, none of the USB3.0 ports are recognized by Lenovo rescue and recovery software when you select the USB storage device. Once connected to a single USB 2.0 port the USB eGo has been recognized and listed backups.

    Unfortunately, this means a minimum of 6 hours to restore from a full backup!

  • 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.

  • Cannot re - install Rescue and Recovery

    I have seen "backup" etc. in the menu of the Toolbox and uninstalled hastily - but actually I managed to uninstall Rescue and Recovery (recovery of blue button style). Now I can not reinstall it-"the installation was interrupted" - "your system has not changed." No idea why. Also cannot install SystemTap. Any ideas? Sorry I have no information better than this. The system works perfectly and all updates are installed. Just no notes R & r.: the works of blue button - it starts in a version of R & R. But if ever I need this facility, I can not trust to really work unless R & R gets reinstalled from the Windows side.

    OK found the answer. I was using the administrator account. I logged in as account owner, and the installation was successful. Thank you for my help, me!

  • 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.

    See you soon,.

    I have updated the Rescue and Recovery program to the latest version.  She made an attempt to "update" of the old version, but in the end, I got two installed versions.  That said, I was then able to "Uninstall" the old version 4.3.

    Shortly after I had a transparent update for MS Windows 10.  Everything is good on this end and my machine is running wonderfully well with the new OS...

    Thanks for the tip...
