KlyLoh,
Since you did purchase this Lenovo computer in the US, do you have a friend or a family member that is in the US it would be possible for them to purchase it for you. The rcd will be delivered on the US shipping address via UPS, shippment will take within 5 business days. You can now tell your friend or family member to ship it to you in Argentina.
Have your friend or family member in the US call Lenovo Premium Support - 18552713878 option 2.
Once you have the RCD send me an email and will provide the steps in doing the OKR.

Missing Toshiba recovery partition

I recovered my laptop using the "0" method and I changed the C partition size and I didnt know it was going to delete my other partitions.
Now I want to get back my D partition. Is that possible?

>Now I want to get back my D partition. Is that possible?
No, the partition has been modified and this affected also the HDD Recovery procedure.
In case you did not create the Recovery disk in the past, you will not be able to recover the notebook.
But its possible to order the recovery media
Where you come from? Where did you purchase the notebook?

2007 2.6GHz 17 Inch Macbook Pro (MacBookPro3,1) Missing Recovery Partition?

My MacBook Pro 2007 2.6GHz 17 Inch is missing a recovery partition. I was told it is supposed to be added automatically when you reinstall/update your mac os x. I recently did a fresh install of Mavericks. It was missing. I did another fresh install, still missing. Then I restored data and did a non-fresh install. Still Missing. I kinda want to be able to track the computer. It has the original hard drive, and all the other components are original as well, except for the battery, which exploded, apple replaced it under warranty a while ago, and the RAM. I upgraded the RAM today, but it didn't work before either. It is genuine OWC RAM. (The same kind apple uses) Do I need to manually create one? Should I downgrade the OS and then upgrade to Mavericks again? Is it a problem that apple is going to fix?
I did make the mistake of erasing the entire hard drive rather than just the main partition. However, according to apple, this should not have made a difference, as if it is missing it is supposed to be created with the installation.

There are two versions of recovery: the regular which will download the currently installed system and internet recovery which will allow you to wipe a drive and reinstall the originally installed system (as long as that was Lion or later). Both of them require that the recovery partition be installed - that is what allows you to boot from it (with key commands) and that you have an internet connection.

How i do restoring recovery partition on ThinkPad x201

Where can I find the missing files recovery partition? The previous owner of the laptop corrupled one file for recovery partition in the folder "factoryrecovery", effectively removing it.
contents of the folder "factoryrecovery":
Name:                                       Size:
bcdinfo.txt                                4 015
cdrivebackup.swm          63 299 584 <- this file maybe corrupted....
cdrivebackup2.swm   2 147 460 280
cdrivebackup3.swm   1 102 545 040
RECOVERY.INI                          955
sdrivebackup.wim         266 014 847
service_done.ini                            19
Machine: Lenovo ThinkPad x201 Type: 3626-W6E S/N: R9-35L6X 10/04

If you do a factory restore using HP recovery discs it will put everything back including recovery partition. I don't know if any way to manually re-create the recovery partition.
NOTE: back up your files as Factory Restore wipes ALL data.

Recovery partition or not?

My Lenovo T60 has a recovery partition located at the end of its 80GB drive, named SERVICEV001 (a primary FAT 32 partition). I recently purchased a second T60 notebook which is almost identical (the only major difference is that it has a CDRW optical drive rather than a DVD rewriter), but that machine does not have such a recovery partition.
As far as I can remember, my original machine did have the recovery partition as it came out of the box.
Is there any way I can create such a recovery partition on the new machine? If not, what is the best way of ensuring I can recover major disk problems without it?
Many thanks in anticipation.

Thanks for the tip about Ghost. I actually already take a weekly Ghost image from my original T60 (at least for two of the three normal partitions - the third one is just data, and I back these up on an ad-hoc basis).
But I really wanted to get the second machine to the same state as the first one. (To be honest, I am not quite sure how the recovery partition really works, notably whether it would still work if I were to clone the entire drive to a second drive of a different size).

One key recovery partition

Hello!
I purchased an SSD hard drive to replace the old hard drive. The SSD is now the C: with operation system and D: (actual work files) partition from size 50~50% of the total disk space. The totally formatted old hard drive is the E: (archive files) part.
I want to use the recovery, but the lenovo's default recovery partition is missing. Can I create one somehow?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Zoltan! Hello and welcome,
There is a thread about this somewhere on the boards, but I can't find it at the moment
I did find a page off-site that may help (I haven't tried this myself): How to restore Onekey Recovery function after changing partition size. (Y580 and maybe others)

Lenovo Win 7 Pro Upgrade - Recovery Partition?

If this has been covered already then I apologize in advance, but it would be appreciated if someone would respond to the following:
I recently upgraded my T61 to Windows 7 Pro using the two-disc set from Lenovo. To preserve my original XP pro setup, I used a new Seagate 250 GB hard drive for the Windows 7 upgrade. One of the first steps of the installation was an automatic setup of two partitions (one of 232 GB and another of about 18 GB). Then the process loaded the Windows 7 operating system on the larger one. The final step was to use the campanion disc to upload Lenovo specific software (ThinkVantage Toolbox). Using Toolbox, I installed the appropriate drivers from Lenovo's website and Windows 7 pro works just fine. However, it's not clear if restoration files were loaded to the drive's smaller partition as one gets when he/she gets installs the Lenovo version of Windows XP pro. Moreover, the Windows 7 upgrade does not seemed to provide Lenovo-specific wallpaper, etc. as with Windows XP. In short, can one restore Windows 7 from a recovery partition as is possible with the Lenovo's version of XP Pro?

Hi TEF,
Welcome to the forum!
The answer to your question is yes, recovery partition does get created during the upgrade process/clean installation. If you decide on installing Win 7 on old drive then make sure to create recovery discs for XP in advance because during the upgrade Win 7 set from lenovo deletes old recovery partition.
As to which OS the thinkvatage button will restore to, take a look at this thread:- http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-Discussion/Windows-7-upgrade-discs-will-include-the-option-for-... [especially last post from milliken]
Hope it helps.

Lenovo G570 essential - One Key Recovery issue

Hello to everybody and congratulations for the forum. I have a Lenovo G570 notebook which is running the original version of Windows 7 that came installed with. Before I mention the problem I have to state that I have restructured the hard drive by using the program Acronis Disk Director. When I click the One Key Recovery application and choose the RECOVERY option I receive the follwing message.
"The program cannot find the service partition. The service is currently unavalaible."
After checking, I noticed a change in the Default recovery partition (the factory one) and the Windows installation partition. These partitions are not ACTIVE as before. What can I do in order to overcome this problem and achieve to restore my notebook to the factory default installation?

Hello Oust_alex,
First the simple procedure to bring the system to factory setting by using the recovery disc if you have created before altering the partitions.
If the recovery disc is not created then you must restore the partitions as previous and then check.
Last option is to purchase the recovery disc from the service center.
Best Regards,

HD recovery partition missing

I just find out that the HD recovery partition went missing in my MBP Early 2011 ML 10.8.5. I don't know when it exactly happened, but my guess is that it was after removing a Bootcamp partition. In any case, I have Time Capsule backups since both the Bootcamp and HD Recovery partitions were in my MBP. However, I'm not sure if the right solution is to restore my Mac to such old days. I tried reinstalling ML by using the Internet Recovery feature (pressing command+R after restarting the computer), but it was Lion, not Mountain Lion, the option that I was given. Therefore, it was not possible to complete the process. I have read on the Internet solutions that involved using scripts written by other users, but I'm not a computer savvy so I don't feel confident following such instructions. I should also mention that I tried to use OS X Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0, but it didn 't work precisely because I have no Recovery HD in my MBP. Lastly, I would like to mention that I need the recovery partition in my MBP so I can use the "Find my Mac" feature, which is especially useful for portable devices. Any suggestion? Thanks.

Try using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.5.2. However, you want to be sure you allow it to update to 3.5.3b2. It may be able to create a Recovery HD partition without requiring one already be installed on your computer.

Lenovo Twist - How do you copy Win 8 Pro onto recovery partition?

I upgraded my Lenovo Twist (3347-4HU) from Win 8 to Win 8 Pro with Windows Media Center (WMC). How do I copy the newly purchased operating system and WMC to my HDD recovery partition so that if I ever have to do a restore, it will restore Win 8 Pro with WMC and not the original copy of Win 8 that came on the computer? My concern is if a recovery is done from the factory recovery partition, I will lose my upgrade that I purchased.

Another option would be to make a full-drive backup to an external HDD. You can use the oddly named "Windows 7 File Recovery" feature to make the backup.
It's probably a good idea to do that on a regular basis.

Recovery Partition missing on Mac HD with OSX Mavericks

When the Mac HDD/SSD was erased from the Mavericks Installer, rather than the Recovery Partition being upgraded to Mavericks, it was instead erased, and because the installer was meant to upgrade the Recovery Parittion, rather than create a Recovery Partition, it proceeded with the installation of Mavericks, omitting the update to the Recovery Parition, because at this point it had already been removed. The good news is, this is exactly one of the reasons we now offer Internet Reocvery as an additonal installation Option.
To enter internet Reocvery, press and hold “Option”, “Command” and the letter “R” while your computer boots up. Keep holding those three keys,until you see a progress indicator. It migght take a few minutes for Recovery to Load, but when it does, you will be asked to select a language to proceed, than you will be brought to OS X Utilties. From here, just follow the steps below to re-add Recovery to your Mac:
1. Select Disk Utility, then click Continue.
2. Select your SSD disk on the left, then click the Erase tab.
3. Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the Format menu, enter a name, then click Erase.
4. After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
5. Select Reinstall OS X, click Continue, then follow the onscreen instructions.
After following these steps, and allowing OS X to reinstall, you will be able to activate Find My Mac, and FileVault as needed!

what software do I need to play movies on my Mac Pro with Intel based
You need Boot Camp with a suitable Windows version and playback software compatible with bot your Windows version and your BluRay drive.
There is no solution for Mac OS X.
Tip: This is the iMovie forum. iMovie is for editing your *home movies*.
