T61 Rescue and Recovery - System Restore has no restore points

Similar Questions

• 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 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.

• Rescue and recovery - how to back up the entire operating system?

  Hi all

  Maybe I'm looking for something that is not supported, but since I got here, then we are

  I'm running Windows 7 Pro (x 64) on the T410.

  Rescue and Recovery 4.31

  I divided my HARD drive into 2 partitions: C for the OS and D for data.

  I have a disk storage network, so, apparently, I did not need to backup the data that is stored on drive D (already to store all my data on the NAS drive)

  What I want to do is to set up the R & R to backup all my drive C (the OS only)

  How can I go about to do?

  Thanks a lot for your comments

  You can do this in "Advanced" mode of Rescue and Recovery:

  1. open Rescue and Recovery

  2. click on the arrow next to "Launch Advanced Rescue and Recovery" in the lower left corner

  3. click on 'Set schedule and preferences' on the right side

  4. click on your "Include partitions" D: drive on the right, so that d will not be saved.

• 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.

  See you soon

• 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 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,.

• Install upgrade-drive HARD T42 recovery discs but hard disk starts only in routine of Rescue and Recovery.

  I am doing a new installation in what follows rather than cloning because the system has not been reinstalled for 4 years.  A CD drive external usb (internal drive deleted), I installed the recovery disks on a 160 GB Samsung HM160HC PATA drive without problem.  Then you click on the button restart.  My T42 started immediately in the opening page of the routine of Rescue and Recovery.  On restart again once I use F12 to get the list of readers with the Samsung HDD.  This did not help.  Repeated many times start.  The computer could not watch any other player because the Samsung is the only one connected.  I'm tempted to download the update of the BIOS available from Lenovo that connected with the old 30 GB disk, while that my program of on-board controller is worm 3.04 and supposed to be suitable for the 160 GB drive upgrade.  If anyone has a suggestion please let me know.

  Hi ned11wils,

  Once the machine has restarted in recovery environment, there is an option there to restore to factory condition?

  IIRC, on these older machines, the restoration is a two-step process.  First use the CD to recreate the environment of recovery, then start the environment recovery and restore from the recovery partition BONE now restored.

• 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.

• How to use the rescue and recovery and product recovery discs?

  Hello world

  I just recently became a new owner of a T61 and really enjoy. I did have a chance yet to test the hotline of lenovo, as I've not yet screwed anything up if badly needing their help. I tried a factory clean reinstall from the service partition and it worked fine. I would like to know, how one uses it the rescue and the recovery boot disk and the recovery disks of the product I created myself? From my previous experience with Dell and HP, I didn't insert the one and restart the computer, and the rest followed. But the ThinkPads, if I ever wanted to bring a State own factory using these disks, can I use with rescue and recovery first, followed by the recovery of product? I'm curious, what is the difference between the two?

  1. Place the rescue and recovery disc in the drive, and then restart.  This disc contains the same program that you used when you restored your system from the service partition.  Once the program is loaded, you will see the same screen with the same options as before.
  2. Choose to restore your system as you did with the service partition.  You will not see an option to do a custom restore.  When the program is run from the disk, it automatically performs a full restore.
  3. The program will rebuild the service partition and copy the program files on him.  When you are prompted, insert the product recovery disks.  The compressed system and application files contained on these discs will be copied to the new service partition.  Once the copy process is completed, your system will be restored from the service partition.
  4. After restoration, you will be able to make a new set of recovery discs if you wish.  You will also be able to do a restore custom through the service partition.

• With the help of Rescue and Recovery to make backups of 3 different machines

  Hello, I have three laptop Thinkpad T400, X 61 and R61i. I want to back up by using an external hard drive. The HD is divided into three partitions, the smallest of X 61, the middle of R61i and most importantly - for T400. I backed up all my laptops in the appropriate partitions (base backups), but now, so I want to make partial backups, they go to the bigger partition (for the T400). Is it possible (and how) do R & R to always use the same partition for each laptop while safeguarding it?

  A few notes, to respond to your previous post:

  (1) Sysprep is used by administrators to deploy and image system to other machines. Basically, the system starts standalone RNR and save the image (drive C and the same HARD drive partitions) on the service partition.  Comment enumeration pleasure has to with additional partitions on the C drive HDD.  For sysprep to work, additional partitions must be of type Extended. The windows PE, is a windows "skimpy" PRE environment. For win7, the EP is based on Vista with a small set of win7 features added.  Thie PE is used for developers (as Lenovo) to install their systems.

  * None of this applies to a user at home like you and me *.

  (2) the logic used in the RNR for the GUI vs bent the advanced GUI are DIFFERENT.

  Example: the user has part C, D and E on C disk HARD drive.  Uses advanced parms to set backup (local) to go to E drive.

  If the backup through the advanced graphical interface, drive E is honored.

  If the backup is performed through simple GUI, the partition with the largest free space is used.

  Note: using the Second HARD drive don't offer NO choice to designate a partition target of \RRbackups.

  (3) view of backups.  It's clearly too.

  When a backup is performed, and RNR is locked on him, it will REFRESH the registry entries for the content of backup.dats in the \rrbackups folder. Subsequent backups of view will probably be read from the registry. That is to say no record of reloading. Simpified mistletoe might once again, just to use the registry, the locks of GUI in the new backup folder.

  (4) your letter removal/restoration

  a: I have no idea how autonomous RNR will react to the 3 folders on the second \rrbackup, IE the part 1, 2, 3.

  b. If rnr backups locked in the wrong \rrbackup folder, you will have a total mess. A symptom of this: you take a basic (full) backup, and the next backup, which should be an incremental, is actually another full backup.  This error could occur if you deleted the wrong letters.

  (5) you have a mess.

  If I save it again this PC, R & R is a point instead of a differential backup<>

  It would take a lot of work on you end to look in the backup files.  Not worth it.

  Again, the simpifed GUI backup use different logic. He likes the larger partition.

  From what you say, you used simplified and got the base of the machine backup 3 all go good part 1, 2, 3.

  Somewhere in this mess, he locked in a \rrbackups without a base backup folder and took another backup.

  who knows.

  Release notes:

  Review 4
  ----------------
  Location of backup changes when you select a smaller partition through the advanced interface of the Rescue and Recovery program.

  In the advanced interface of the Rescue and Recovery program, you select a partition more small capacity on your local hard drive as the backup location. Then, you switch to the simplified interface to create the backup. However, the backup is created on the partition with the highest capacity.

  To resolve this problem, back up your system in the advanced interface of the Rescue and Recovery program after you have selected the backup location.

  The solution is the cleanest way to follow. I would always use the GUI advanced for now on.
