ThinkPad T420 recovery problem

Hi all

I need your help. I have a problem with ThinkPad T420. When I am pressing ThinkVintage or F11 to get into recovery, it loads and then I get this message below;

Don't know how to solve this problem, thank you!

If partitions System_DRV and Lenovo_Recovery (q) has not been resized or corrupt, R & R should work. So, I guess to upgrade/reinstall application Lenovo Rescue & recovery via ThinkVantage System Update because there are a lot of conditions to perform this task manually (eg. There are several options for deployment and language packs).

If this does not help, it could be better and more quickly to create a Lenovo recovery media, it's almost the same Lenovo recovery environment you try to start using BB or F11:
-make it from Lenovo R & R application, advanced mode, rescue media
- or simply deploy a .iso file image:
C:\Program Files (x 86) \Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\rrcd

Note, in any case, it is a good practice to have this rescue media.

If you want to reset the laptop to the factory scene, do it from recovery media factory Lenovo.

  • I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse.

    Original title: right click on the mouse itself activating

    I borrowed a USB to a person at work and I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse. The left click of two devices works normally, however, sometimes she does not respond to clicks and it takes a few seconds to work. The left button was constantly starts to turn on, as if he was stuck. After that I hit Alt + Tab and modify windows it stops for a few moments and starts at a later date. I havo not found a specific condition or a combination of keys that may trigger the fault.

    I read a few posts on discussion forums, but all say that it could be a hardware problem, which I think is not, because both devices have the same problem and I'm sure it all started with the insertion of the borrowed memory stick. I scanned the readers to help Symantec's EndPoint Protection and installed Microsoft Security Essentials and performed a full scan, but found nothing. I even restored the system, but the problem remains.

    Should I get a different antivirus? How can I find the cause so I can find a better targeted solution?

  • Red blackBerry exclamation Z10 there is in the battery icon when it is connected to the Thinkpad T420

    I'm new here and the Z10 is my first BlackBerry smartphone.

    I noticed that when I out took it of the box and connected to my Thinkpad T420 that was running Windows 8, it started to charge the battery and it was OK, and then I installed the link of BlackBerry that comes with it and after that I restarted my laptop, there is a red in the battery icon exclamation point , and it seemed that he was arrested for battery.

    I uninstalled the link BlackBerry and after restart, it began to charge the battery again.

    I don't know if this is a bug or not.

    Thank you.

    I have not tried the phone with Windows 8.

    I am trained on technical support for Windows 7, and I do technical support for Windows 7.  At the moment I have no training to win 8 support.  If your device is running Windows 8 - RT, I would put a strong bet on a compatibility issue with the link for the phone drivers. If the device uses the standard Win 8 OS, then I would be inclined to think that it is a problem of compatibility of equipment of a certain type. From what I read link is supposed to work with Win 8. I do not know RT

    Read on...

    I think of how link installed on Win 7 systems, that it comes with its own drivers. I never watched very closely into that because I never had a problem with the link using Win 7.  I had some problems with XP on some older computers. Without the software Link installed Win 7 installs its own generic drivers.

    I also found with Win 7 computers with the former manager of office installed, these drivers to work also with the Z10 to charge and be able to read the card SD and memory of the phone via the USB port. Software Desktop Manager does not work with the Z10.

    Try if you can do it in 8 Win.  Install the software Link. Go to the properties of system with the phone BB device.  Uninstall the phone in the hardware section. This should uninstall the drivers. Restart the computer with the phone powered on and connected. I'm game if drivers Win 8 BB will be installed on the recovery that the pilots of the link. I never tried with Win 8. It may be interesting the shot.

    Something else interesting to try if this does not work, connect the Z10 using an external powered USB HUB between him and the computer. The CENTRE acts as a buffer. Maybe the OS will react differently this way.  I had problems where a powered USB HUB solved some problems with specific USB devices. It's more with printers, scanners and GPS devices.

    Another problem is that I believe that your Thinkpad works more like a Tablet than a full blown computer. This may be a problem with the software Link. It would be interesting to know if someone else who reads this, use the Link software on a desktop or full blast laptop computer that runs 8 Win. If so and there is no problem, this should limit the problem the T420, rather than the system Win 8 or the software link itself.

    Another interesting looking thing is so that the phone can not load the Link software able to read the phone anyway?  If so, you may have to live with the fact you can save and restore the phone with the T420, but not load.

    If you sync the phone with Hotmail, you will have a form of a backup of your contacts, and I also believe that data. I tried syncing the phone with Yahoo and Gmail. Gmail has had lots of questions. Yahoo has worked but not exceptional. I found that Hotmail works best with the Z10 for synchronization.

    If you have Outlook, you can install the Outlook Hotmail sync tool. This is available on the website of Ms. It is called Outlook connect if I remember correctly. This way you can configure MS Outlook to sync with your Hotmail account. This will keep the phone and your Outlook all synchronised with Hotmail.  I do this with a number of Z10 with great success. You will need to make yourself a Hotmail e-mail account. Then, you will need to do some reading to get it going.

  • Black screen on a lenovo Thinkpad T420

    Hello, I m a proud owner of a lenovo thinkpad T420. My screen remains black with blacklighting on when I try to boot with a linux live cd, I can t see the office nothing. I tried with an external display, same result. And when I restart the computer with windows, everything seems normal. Please help me!

    I tried to use the Ubuntu distribution

    Also, which version of Ubuntu or under Live CD do you use? The reason I ask is because it should be relatively new. For example, there should be no problem with anything out of the Oct/Nov the year last to this day. Try 16 11.10 Ubuntu or Fedora or Linux Mint 12. One of these should work.

    Good luck!

  • Update on Thinkpad T420 Intel graphics card

    Hello!

    I have a Thinkpad T420 with Windows 7. When I try to update my driver Intel Graphics HD (version 8.15.10.2538) than the Lenovo Web (version 9.17.10.3347) site, I get the error message "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software."

    Page Intel tells me that I have either the wrong driver (which should not be the question because I got from Lenovo driver support page) or the version of the OS (I advanced and tried both the 32 and 64 bit driver, nothing works) or that I don't have Intel graphics card (but I do).

    Is my processor simply not taken in charge by the updated more? I have an Intel Core i5 - 2520M. Or does perhaps have problems with my NVIDIA graphics card?

  • With the help of sleep - ThinkPad T420

    I was told that using sleep instead of turn off my ThinkPad T420 will destroy him. Is this true? I find practice never to shut down the computer, but I don't want to cause any damage.

    @sliderda2b,.

    I do not see how it will destroy the laptop, unless the laptop did not enter "sleep mode" correctly and is still ongoing when you put it in a laptop bag which causes the laptop overheats. (happened to my friend before laptop computer).

    Personally I use hibernate, I activated its "beep" that the laptop goes into sleep mode extended, then when it stops beeping means that the laptop is already in hibernation. Works everytime for me =)

  • Max ThinkPad T420 Dockingstation DisplayPort resolution

    Hello

    What is the max of the ThinkPad T420 docking resolution? I would like to connect a monitor with a 2560 x 1080 at 60 Hz resolution...

    Thank you and best regards

    If you are using DisplayPort, it won't work. DVI port is single link and therefore capped at 1920 x 1080. VGA may or may not be able to drive it.

  • Rescue and recovery - problem with restore

    I think I know what the problem is but not how to fix...

    ThinkPad T61p running 64-bit Windows 7.  Replacing the hard drive, no recovery partition.  R & R to USB backup.

    I was diligent to make backups every week, but in September last my backup USB drive was almost full, so I bought a new.  I used R & R to prepare the new disk and which seems to work very well so I continued with my weekly backups sent to the new drive.  I got some of the files in the backup when I accidentally deleted them so I assumed everything was in good condition.

    I was wrong.

    A few days ago, I messed up my email and went to restore from my backup taken a few hours before.  Any attempt to have failed with an error message "the list box identifier was not found.  So, I tried a full system restore.  In point 40% it abandoned leaving the hard drive in a State that won't start plu, which could not be fixed with the repair tool on the Win7 installation DVD.

    I was able to restore a system from the old USB drive as dated September 8, 2012.  My problem is the missing 5 months of e-mail.  It is saved on the drive again, but I can't restore it.

    I have an idea what the problem could be, namely the absence of a "Basic" backup on the new drive.  Logical when you think about it, but of course, when you create the backup system I don't have.

    There is space on the new USB drive to copy over ALL the backups of the old drive, but I'm afraid of the farce of things even more.  I make images of two disks before you start fiddling with.  During this time I can't see in the RRBackups directory, at least on Windows 7.  I mounted the old drive on linux, and from there, I can look inside RRBackups.  There is a directory that contains what seems to be the 'Base' and another that holds incremental backups. I have not tried the same thing with the new drive, because it is always to be graphic.

    On each disk, there are a lot of empty directories with names long empty of meaning.  I have no idea this is.

    Incremental backups seem to live inside the numbered directories 1-32 (for example).  As I have not looked at the new USB I don't know if the numbering continues to 33 (in this example) or starts from 1.  I guess that things will be a little easier if the numbering does NOT start again from 1.  In this case, it may be possible to copy all the backups on the new drive.  Also maybe you can only backup "Core" is necessary.

    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, then please respond.  The objective remains to get the files from e-mail from my latest backup (on the new USB.  I don't like anything else.

    This response will be shorter.

    (1) area of dreaded list.  Your recent incremental restore to EMAIL worked fine (Feb incremental 2013 had the file). NO error in list box.   When you wanted older files in this series, she had to return to base backup (05 dec 2012) list box-error.  The restore list made its way to the basis of searching for files. Restoring single files in the database fails with the message list box.  This basic restore also fails with the error message (rnr old or such).

    But you mixed and matched the base backups.  I'm glad you're current Email (your goal).

    HUmm. the new USB-based backup is suspicious. You have 4 ways to start RNR. Current C (windows platform), stand-alone C (PF11), Old usb, new boot usb boot.  Looks that all of your software startup RNR is 4.3. I don't understand how a backup and understand what liberation did the backup.  It's in France somewhere in there.

    To determine which software RNR boot on the USB, go to USB:\preboot\sysinfo\sinfo.exe and PROPERTIES, Details tab you can also start the USB and hit to help? button on the screen of the RNR. On option.

    I'm only interested in the RNR starting on new USB version. Please report it.  I'm not quite clear where you started the RNR when you tried to restore the 05 Dec. (pf11 or New boot usb used?).

    (2) something is not right on new usb (basic backup).  But your plan is to erase this. and c. current (large) backup. (so new boot RNR of the interface of media create).  For some strange reason, you think that your Base was taken with RNR (older or newer)... The base is not corrupted.  The start software does not match the backup file

    (3) blue ray RW.  It will be MUCH faster backup if you use blue ray R.

    ==

    Final summary:

    (1) another? How long have you used the NEW USB for backups? Do you have backups of vista on the new USB at a certain point in time?

    (2) my guess is that your NEW USB had rained stand-alone boot of RNR vista on it. (guess long shot). No bogus msg...

    (3) dec 05 backup log.

    Look in the new USB, new uuid,\Common\rr.log. This will document your backup 05 dec. But they do no release levels

    in there.

    (4) Blue Ray backup RNR. To the restoration of this set:

    Disc 1 is boot.

    Intermediate DVD are given.

    Finally, DVD, the table of contents. That is to say, Final.

    Restore, use DISK 1.  It will then ask for final load, and then back to DVD 2.

    (5) had been working on was some scans color corrections I did a couple of years there are movies xxx, beautiful.

    If your reset base seven 2012 did not, your 05 dec did not find it either.

    (6) I am honored to talk with you. Your work looks very good. I am a programmer to systems, LOL.

    Version numbers:

    Windows: 4.50.00.25.00

    Independent: 4.50.10.25.00

    Not much. They will not match.

  • SSHD Toshiba MQ01ABD100H - Firmware / data recovery problem

    Hello!
    I have the mission critical data on a MQ01ABD100H of Toshiba to SSHD which was in a Sony VAIO for less than one year who decided to stop working from one day to the next. All I care about is the data. A professional data recovery company apparently reputable rated player, told me that it was a "mechanical failure", said they could recover the data and gave me a quote of $1500.00. A week later I was told something different; They said the platters and heads seem to agree and the problem seems to be on the circuit board and/or flash drive, and they didn't know how to recover the data. They told me that they have consulted Toshiba too. I asked them if they replaced the pcb Board and they would not tell me or answer questions more. I have the drive in my hands and am looking for options. I really believe that my data is recoverable if the trays are okay, right?

    Here's what I know for sure; the bios of the machine of Sony VAIO Windows 8.1, correctly recognizes the drive. However, it does not start and is not accessible or recognized with cmd prompt Windows 8.1 UEFI options. The drive is not encrypted. After putting the reader into an external enclosure and its connection to another Win8.1 machine, the player starts with no extreme sounds of survey. Slowly, she clicks a few times as if the heads are looking, but then calms down and keeps running quietly. I have installed a Data Rescue PC3 software that recognizes the drive and its attributes correctly but can't read or clone. I have the Partition Wizard software mini tool, which recognizes the drive correctly, but shows the drive as being unreadable.

    That's what I'm trying to do. I'm looking for a donor on mine, with the same model drive, date, firmware, site, number of PCBS, hard drive code.

    Now, here is my unknowns and I appreciate everyone a preview with these. If I change the pcb edge myself, I need still more likely transfer the firmware for the new Board of Directors, even if I try it without doing it. I don't know where the firmware is stored, is there a rom chip or is it stored in the Flash Player. I'm not certain if, with this model of SSHD, if this can be done with replacement of the chip or the software? If it is stored on the Flash drive how is available independent of the HHD part? Must the reader Flash itself be harvested? But what happens if the flash player is bad, how can the firmware ever be recovered? Any ideas anyone? ... other than myself shot in the head, I'm kidding. I think that this may be a common problem that will often not resolved.

    I have the drive in my hands and am looking for options. I really believe that my data is recoverable if the trays are okay, right?

    I am not an expert but if applications cannot access the data and cannot read data from the SSHD then you will need professional help...

    I found the storage Toshiba page where you could get details on this SSHD

  • PORTEGE R100 CD-ROM recovery problem

    Hi, I had a few problems of recovery PORTEGE R100. My problem is that when I try to reinstall the system with the recovery of the boot disk CD, it does not recognize the CD. The CD-ROM is not a TOSHIBA product. Is there any solution for this?

    It will be interesting to know if your external CD is a USB or PCMCIA device.

    You must make a Windows startup disk and add drivers for your CD-ROM BACK drive and then you should be able to recover the machine with this CD.

  • Qosmio G20-108 Windows recovery problem.

    Hello

    I just purchased a Qosmio G20-108 of ebay and the seller said that the laptop is ok but I had a virus previously and it wiped the HARD drive. The DVD player has so replaced it by a new one, but he couldn't just load the recovery of Windows Media Center. I bought the laptop thinking that I can fix it but I could not and now I felt stupid: (.)

    When I turn it on, you receive this error message:

    ERROR ATA #1

    Copyright (C) 1997-2004, Intel Corporation

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - M0F: Exit Intel Boot Agent.

    Someone has an idea on how to solve this problem before sending it to the "Topaz" Support and cost me a fortune?

    Thank you.

    If the DVD player is replaced, you are 100% sure it works well then you probably have a problem with faulty HARD drive.

    If possible, try to get one for testing purposes. It can be used. Replace the HARD drive and try to install the top OS. Check if you have full access to the HARD drive.

  • HP Envy6 recovery problem

    I own one like 6 1002TX laptop, the problem is that is the recovery partition is corrupted and the discs I got from the dealer is corrupted (2 of them) so basically I can not recover the laptop, is the second problem, I sent the laptop to the store retailer for recovery and they forgot that this model does not support any other windows software that comes with the laptop , so they tried to install windows 7 on a different drive and the installer stopped at one point and gives an error, something like "this windows software is not compaitible with this device" so now whenever I opened the laptop, it passes by the windows installation and after 5 seconds gives the same error and gets restarted.

    I bought this laptop on July 27, 2012, and when I mentioned it to the HP support they said that they will send the disc but I have to pay the price of the software and the shipping cost and total cost will be about 1600-4000 INR.

    This encrypted laptop me about 56000 INR and it is still under warranty and now this...

    Is there another solution for this?

    Tell me exactly if I update my windows to windows 8 via this link https://www.windowsupgradeoffer.com

    will it work with my device?

    Or can I use the laptop recovery disk the different 1002TX of envy 6 and run it on mine? will it work?

    (Note that the unit is only a box with materials, there is no OS software.)

    I don't know how the cost of your recovery disks can be in INR - more generally, HP does not charge a small fee for a recovery media.  HP recovery media is available for a limited time after the computer is made... IF you plan to buy records, you can consider doing before a long time.

    There are alternatives to recovery discs purchased: you can burn your own discs ISO for Windows 7.  See this solution by our experts Paul_Tikkanen

  • Satellite A100-803 - Vista recovery problem

    Hello

    I upgraded the RAM and HDD on a Satellite A100-803 and when I restore Windows Vista from the recovery disk process is going very well, but after restarting windows says that "Windows Setup could not set up Windows on this s material.

    I think that the problem is listed here.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2466753/en-us.

    But the problem is that I can't change the RAID setting in the BIOS, and during the installation of recovery, I'm not able to add the additional drivers needed.
    The new drive is a WD 500 GB driver (WD5000BPVT)

    How can I solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance
    Pau

    Hello

    First I put t think its BIOS problem.
    The laptop doesn't support RAID.

    I think the problem is the size of your new HARD drive. Upgrade of the disk HARD 500 GB and its larger than the original HARD drive equipped in A100.

    The point is that a recovery disk automatically creates the partitions on the HARD disk, but due to the size of the disk HARD the size of the partitions would be different also.
    I think that you won't have the same problems to install Vista or Win 7 using the Microsoft disk

  • Portege R200 recovery CD recovery problem

    I tried to recover with different portege R200 from the recovery disks. The two models are identical, and both models have the same problem. I boot with the recovery disk 1, I get the choice of 1, 2 and 3.

    I choose number 1 to retrieve the machine (a recommended) hard disk, and then restarts gives me another set of choices. As soon as I make a choice and confirm it, I get an error message saying that my cd/dvd drive is not connected. The CD/DVD drive is a USB which I've tried two different brands with the same result.
