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

  • 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 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

    See you soon,.

  • Rescue and recovery 3 CD...

    I created my Rescue and Recovery disks and am about to reset the hard drive at the factory, so I have a new facility.  I was wondering if this would be a time that I could get a new hard drive and use the rescue and recovery disks and get a new larger hard drive.

    Currently I have 160 GB drive, but it would be great if I could spend at 1 to at the moment.

    Thanks in advance.

    Go ahead and get a new drive, keep your original intact in case of emergency, disks that you are going to install the new drive to factory with a service partition State at the end of it about 4/5 GB in size, the rest is up to you.

    Now, I've changed the options to exclude E: but I was wondering is it possible to include in backups - I have to save it on a USB drive without any previous backups on this subject? And is it a good idea to use R & R for backup partitions?

  • 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 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?
