System on the A31p with windows XP Recovery

Hello!

I'm using a thinkpad a31p with windows XP. Currently I have no recovery option on my laptop (F11 is enabled in the bios but not displayed at startup). The reason is that I deleted the recovery partition and my own version of Windows XP installed.

Is it possible for me to reactivate the system restore on my laptop? And another thing: I've lost my restore CD.

Thank you very much for your help!

You can call Lenovo in Slovenia to see that if they will sell you a set... they have not, since the machine is probably out of warranty, but I would give it a shot.

That breaks down, the next stop is eBay...

As last resource, send me a PM if all else fails.

Good luck.

  • The problem with Windows update - automatic updates service won't start not (error 126)

    original title: the problem with Windows update

    Please help me to get Windows Update operational return.

    XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, SP3

    Had a problem with "Generic host process for Win32 has encountered a problem and needs to close."  Follow-up of the instructions on this link:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931852

    Seems to have cleared the error message.  So far so good.

    However, now a Windows Update does not work.  Security Center Windows were told to go to control panel > system and use the Automatic Updates tab.  But, if I go to control panel > system, the Automatic Updates tab does not appear.

    I also went to the control panel > Services.  Tried to start the automatic updates service.  Received this error message: could not start the service automatic updates on Local computer.  Error 126: The specified module could not be found

    I already followed several instructions on this subject:

    In the thread above, I was following the post on 30 August.  According to Option A, I completed step 5 for the uninstallation of McAfee Security.  At this time, my network card has stopped working.  On the recommendation of the officer, I posted to the Malwarebytes forum.  The officer determined Malwarebytes that I don't have a malicious software.  I ended up posting on forum McAfee to get my network card works again.  Then I reinstalled McAfee and start to run Windows Update.

    I started with Option A, step 8 to reset Internet Explorer using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737.  The difficulty it has worked very well.

    Then Option A, step 9 says reset Windows Update using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.  When I ran the difficulty in default or aggressive mode, I got an error message saying: he cannot start wuauserv.  The message asks me to verify that the user has privileges to take this step.  Well, I checked through user accounts who am the only one user set up on this PC and I have administrator privileges.  Help me please run this difficulty or recommend another way to get Windows Update works again.

    [1]... looks like you are saying that my system is so wet that a clean install is the (only?) way to go.

    [2] if I do a clean install, not only what I need to reinstall Windows and all my applications, I also have to reinstall the drivers... Etc. ?

    [3] I think I have the disks supplied with the PC system. Is it better to use than to use the recovery partitiion?

    [4A]... is there a possibility that some of [my data are] infected?

    [4] preventing me from simply infect the whole PC again?

    A1. Yes, and it was my recommendation in August, too.

    A2. Yes.

    A3. Only not really well using the restore Partition hidden to make the "destructive recovery" will include all drivers, etc., that have been installed at the factory.

    A4a. Yes, a real possibility.

    A4b. You run at least three 3 tests on the backup data before restoring one (1) with your installed & updated up-to-date anti-virus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials) and two 2 with good reputation, free online scans (e.g., ESET;) Bit Defender; Kaspersky; HouseCall; (F - Secure).

    If you have saved your data on CD/DVD, the disc scanner. If you have backed up your data to a flash drive, SD card, or another external drive AND KB971029 is installed, analyze the drive.

  • How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.

    I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)

    I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)

    If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.

    If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  • HP LaserJet 1200: HP LaserJet 1200 connected via USB to the PC with Windows 7 is not redirected in DRC

    Hello.

    HP LaserJet 1200 connected via USB to the PC with Windows 7 (32 bit) and works fine (latest drivers via Windows Update installed).

    But when I have connected via RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) for PC with Windows XP and try to print from this PC to LJ1200 - it is not redirected in a remote desktop session and I did not see in printers and Faxes folder.

    Other printers from PC with Win7 works fine via DRC (XPS Document Writer and PDFCreator).

    During this time when I do the same thing from another PC with Windows XP, LJ1200 (connected via USB to the PC) works very well through the DRC.

    Anyone know how to make LJ1200 to be redirected in a remote desktop session?

    Thanks in advance.

    For more information, here are 2 possible solutions:

    1. put two computers in the same workgroup and then share the printer and install from the remote computer.

    2. best solution: install on PC with Windows 7 drivers for Windows XP (PCL6) - it works very well as a redirected local printer via DRC!
