• USB hard drive not recognized in rescue and recovery

  After having successfully copied all my backups on an external hard drive, now that I have restored my T61 to its factory condition, rescue and recovery refuses to overprinting of the reader. I have made sure it is connected before turning on my laptop, and I also tried to connect only once I'm inside R & R, but nothing makes no difference. I'm desperate to seize my old files so I can continue to work, any help would be really appreciated. Thank you! Sarah

  Me again: by the way, I forgot to mention that my resettled version of Vista is quite happy to recognize the external hard drive - as R & R before I started the restoration process... Sarah

• 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?

• 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.

• 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 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.

• 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,.

• IBM ThinkPad T43: Rescue and Recovery question

  Hello

  I have an IBM ThinkPad T43. The Rescue and Recovery program opens whenever I turn on my laptop after a failed attempt to restore my laptop to factory settings. I cannot even connect on Windows, because the Rescue and Recovery program opens upwards immediately after I turned on the power. I tried to restore my system to factory settings using the program and the product recovery disc I bought at Lenovo, in the hope of resolving the issue, but every time I'm prompt "IBM could not restore your system.

  How can I stop Rescue and Recovery of the opening and resume with normal startup in Windows? What should I do so that I am able to restore my laptop to factory settings?

  Please help if you have any suggestions. I appreciate it greatly! Thank you!

  You can use this TI pc doc disk bootable http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-56222 its been a long time since I used it, but I think that in the top right there is a tab that says utilities or something like that you can wipe the HARD drive from there as I've always used the quick option worked for me

• 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.

  best, Simonides

• 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.

• 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!
