  • 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!

    You can use this TI pc doc disk bootable http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-56222 its been a long time since I used it, but I think that in the top right there is a tab that says utilities or something like that you can wipe the HARD drive from there as I've always used the quick option worked for me

  • Question of rescue and recovery, and Client Security solution

    I have a thinkpad edge e220s for home use and I am trying to understand that these two thinkvantage tools will be of no use to me since I'm not on a corporate network or whatever it is (all marketing materials HE mentions admins etc.).

    Is the rescue and recovery just a backup solution with imaging of disk (as ghost)? I use a drobo for all my data storage, so I am not too concerned about backups as the drobo offers redundancy in the event of disk failure. The laptop has a SSD which doesn't have a lot of capacity if I don't want unnecessary tools that will have a lot of space. However if the rescue and recovery offers really useful features then I might consider its installation (and not using the backup feature). I could not make out what marketing materials meant by the solution of a single button for viruses and crashes.

    Second, the client security solution features other than Vault/Manager password on my model? I'm already using the beta version of the new (4) version of password manager which is autonomous and requires no client security solution. Again once the marketing material does not help a user at home like me understand very well.

    Any help will be appreciated!

    Based on your description I don't think rescue & recovery or Client Security Solution any value for you.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Rescue and recovery X 1 Win10PRO carbon

    Just got a X carbon 1 and modernized to win 10

    1)

    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?

    2)

    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.

  • 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 backup not file system - without error message

    I use, since 1985 the first IBM, Lenovo then. I was very happy, my next Lenovo will be bought next spring.

    But I'm just very disappointed. Daily tracks of rescue and recovery on the local disk, which later are copied to a backup drive.

    The program has never shown an error on the screen and still run perfectly-, I thought!

    A few days ago, I got a Windows error for the first time. There are a lot of missing files.
    I restored the system on the R & R and reboted. But cannot start.
    With a boot disk, I booted the system and could now see that all the Windows directory was empty!

    Unfortunately, I can not in R & R files see what files and directories contain a backup? Or can you?

    Question 1:

    So I would like to know how if someone can enlighten me.

    Then I started to investigate on what had happened. In c:-Library SWSHARE I found some files that I see is connected to R & R.
    In the engine.log file, I see R & R has written a large number of error lines, of which a part is reproduced below. File dates to 2011 and there are errors all the way

    Question 2:
    Why the program not onscreen when R & R run display errors, so that the user knows there are errors?

    Now I'm sitting at the bottom with a long nose, after 2 days and nights, trying to find a solution and restored the system several times and do not know how the file system works will come back on my PC so normally again.

    Be more happy if someone can tell me how to solve this problem.

    Here is a selection of error lines:

  • 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.

  • 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? I don't have time to search the forums and I'm not an expert. Help, please.

  • 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.
