Tips for fixing of recovery media - X120e

Three attempts at recovery media burning for my X120e plant failed on verification to 70% with an unexpected error (rc = 9). On a cursory inspection, the DL-DVD seems to have completed the burn, but I don't want to not test this theory on my system.  The recover.ini in /recovery/ file lists the OS like WIN732, which does not match the OS for my system CTO. Is this normal? (I wonder if one) I have bad media or b) the wrong recovery partition was loaded on my system. Technical support told me that they cannot help me because my external dvd player is not Lenovo brand. My options seem to be:

(1) drive buy a DVD external Lenovo (~ $80) and see if it does the trick, if it is not that it should fall under warranty because it is not a third-party player this time.

(2) order a support Lenovo recovery disk (~ $ 45). This should do the trick.

3 buy another batch of blank DVDs and see if it helps, if not go with 1) or (2).

I'm a little hesitant to order a recovery disc right now, I am more particularly in the market for a larger DVD player. This would particularly be the case if the cause of the error is a bad recovery partition, because I believe that this should fall under warranty.

Any advice on how to proceed? More details can be provided as required.

Kind regards

Hi rlpaper, welcome to the forum.

If you happen to have a spare hard drive that you can use for testing, (all data on it will be deleted), you might want to try test disks that you created by using them to install the player?  It is that also a good way to be 100% sure that the discs work.

Another suggestion, and it's my own private theory, you can try using CD - R and DVD - R media + or DL media?

  • HARD does not work after changing the disk partitions recovery media creator

    Hello world

    After installing windoows 8.1 April major upgrade (win 8.1 presents as OEM), and have shrunk C partition to create a data partition "D", "Troubleshooting" option under advanced start menu is no longer available.

    Toshiba Recovery Media Creator does not work, too (it can not find any hard disk recovery partion).
    I got in the OEM recovery partition.
    I am also able to create a recovery using the Windows tool unit.
    You have no idea about it?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    Sorry to hear about all this. Unfortunately, you now have a big problem. I don't understand why you didn't create support of recovery before you started to change the factory settings, including to change the structure of the partitions of HARD drive.

    Mobile offered with factory settings a structure specific partitions and recovery recorded image is saved on the partition of drive specific and marked with invisible markers. These markers are visible for preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool and when you start the tool can find points of reference and has full access to specific files.

    Unfortunately, after changing the original scores structure Toshiba tool cannot find these markers more and is not able to copy files from recovery media recovery. What you need now is the original recovery disk. Using this disk, you can install original recovery image and after doing this, you will have new factory settings.

    I know it sounds stupid now but you must order the original recovery disk and it can be done on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Where can I get a recovery for Satellite L855-150 media

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I need to recover with the recovery media (3 DVD that I created with the "Toshiba Recovery Media Creator" tool before starting the recovery process) by default.

    I therefore start the wizard of recovery Toshiba from the recovery DVD and choose 'Factory default software recovery', which begins by copying the files from the disks.

    But it will come to a point where he asks another disc (DVD 4), which cause i haven't. And when I checked the 3 disks REcory I noticed that one was completely written and it was still empty.
    (DVD1: 4.4 GB, DVD2: 709,1 Mo, DVD3: void)

    I can't repeat 'Toshiba Recovery Media Creator' because the hard drive is already completely cleared.

    That's why I aks for recovery media.

    Greetz

    Hmm that's strange
    I m wondering if you received a notification that the recovery discs was created correctly do you have?

    In my case, I received this message that the recovery disc are OK and the procedure could be completed successfully.

  • HP 15 Notebook - r063tu model: what quality of Flash drive required for creating recovery media for laptop 15 HP (r063tu)?

    I want to create a recovery media for my laptop HP 15 (model r063tu) on a Flash instead of DVD drive (had a bad experience with the DVD in the past). Should I buy a 16 GB or 32 GB of capacity 3.0 USB drive. Because it will only be to create recovery media, obviously I won't be able to use it for other purposes, so want to buy everything as this is sufficient (and save on costs!). Thank you.

    Hello

    32 GB is necessary because the recovery partition is almost always about 20 GB or more.

  • Recovery for Pavilion dv6103nr (DV6000) media.

It displays the error message mentioning the registry. I looked towards the top of the web page of order recovery media support, but there is no menu for "recovery media". Is that the model is not a recovery media that I can order?

  • Recovery media for Tecra M10 - 10I required

    Hi all

    Sorry to post this here, but I hope someone can help me out here because unfortunately, after talking to a member of staff at Toshiba UK, the support I need, they can provide.

    I am a totally blind systems engineer and entrepreneur specialized in the legends of emergency to companies and specialist requirements, as well as installation, commissioning and decommissioning requirements, etc.. Recently, I lost my laptop main, unfortunately, he died because of overheating due to his age, a professional platform adapted to my needs to run the tools of my trade. the jury, burned into the RAM and HARD drive with her, it means I'm out of action,

    However, a friendly contact of my friends helped me with gift of a system of Tecra M10 - 10i who arrived this morning, to be configured, etc.. However, the internal HARD disk was photographed with a default image of their company and not the official recovery / installation OEM. The disk HARD deleted anyway and RAM upgraded to 8 GB to become my replacement. Right now I am borrowing a member of the family system and running an edition of reader pen of my screen reader configuration. so access to emails, notes, etc. only.

    My setup is based on different hardware and software components including chassis magma with PCIE cards, for data and the access control etc.

    What I would do, it is the Image of the system using Toshiba recovery disks, however, I can't get hold of them through toshiba site and the site that sells isn't easy to blind, or use credit cards, etc., so here's the problem. Toshiba tell me that they can not provide recovery media and I have to go to a provider they use on the web and order records, etc.

    This may be against policy here, so I apologize if this is the case, however, anyone here happen to have the recovery media for a system Tecra M10 - 10i, so Windows Vista Enterprise or Windows 7 Pro or similar that can update the system? The reason I ask because it is, it is easier for me to use a recovery image based or automated Ghost for this so I can install my screen, braille display driver reader interface, etc. and be running, rather than panic during the configuration of the audio without braille drivers / audio feedback.

    If you can help, please e-mail me at [email protected]

    Cheers.

    Ed

    > What I would like to make, it is the Image of the system using Toshiba recovery disks, however, I can't get hold of them through toshiba site and the site that sells is not blind to the environment, or use credit cards, etc., so here's the problem.

    Dear Ed, I'm sorry to hear that it of difficult and impossible for you to order the Toshiba recovery from the Arvato page disk. Unfortunately, I m not Tecra M10 owner and don t have recovery for this unit disc.
    But maybe you could ask a family member or a friend for assistance.

    It (a credit card owner) could place an order for recovery on page Arvato disk and could order the media for you.

    Hi guys I have a bit of a problem with my laptop (Satellite Pro A300-PSAG1E0). Although some questions really

    I had the laptop bought as gift second hand from eBay. Registration said the notebook had Downgrade XP support provided on DVD that he was not and that I could create a copy of the recovery media using the construction in software which is not that there is no creator thereon recovery software.

    I believe that the laptop is running an illegal version of Windows, as the product key sticker says it is intended to be run Vista Home top and it works in windows 7.

    The seller disappeared and he is not answering all of my calls. IM at my end of whits thereby as being a low income means that I can't really afford to buy an official Windows disk or recovery media.

    Any help on how I could get the recovery disks or advice on how I can get a legal copy of Windows would be great. I also have it reported to microsoft as suspicious software.

  • How to get a recovery media for laptop Lenovo G50-30?

    Hello. I recently posted a message on it, which has been partially resolved. I deleted the recovery partition during the installation of Windows 7 and bought a set of recovery discs, but they are not designed for the model that I use. I still have the box that the laptop came with the details on the side, if I could ask a drive recovery by phone or email? Thank you.

    Nice day.

    I suggest that you contact the Support (details below) to discuss for recovery media. There may be an associated cost.

  • Recovery media for X 1 carbon?

    Hello

    I have a X 1 carbon (20BS) 20 days ago. First thing I did was the installation of Linux, but after some tests with different distributions (Fedora 21 later), I accidentally deleted the contents of the EFI partition.

    I don't have a recovery media for Windows 8.1. Is it possible to get it online? Or should I consider to support? Unfortunately, I still need Windows for some older programs that I use.

    PS = if anyone has a recommendation on a Linux distro for this machine, would be appreciated.

    PS2 = F11 at startup option doesn't even appear now.

    Thank you!

    Good day and welcome to the community.

    Lenovo has never been available online recovery media. However, you can communicate with the Service (info below) and demand. According to my experience, they will check your model and serial number, and there may be an associated cost.

    I hope this helps.

    I checked the pages of Support HP for your PC to Win7 and Win8x and there is no recovery listed media.

    You can try to contact the HP customer directly, using the links below, to see if you can order them if:

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/contact-HP/WW-contact-us.html

    If HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    And, if you are able to find recovery media, before using it, don't forget to read carefully the following: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00707939
