Cannot create recovery disk after update to Win 8.1 on G580

Friends
I have a Lenovo G580 that came with Win 8.0 preinstalled. I upgraded it to Win 8.1 over the Internet.
When I try to run the "Create recovery disk" I get the error that states that "We cannot create a recovery drive for this PC. Some required files are missing..."
I found out that the winre.wim file that is supposed to be in the C:\Windows\System32\Recovery folder is not there. I cannot locate it anywhere on the C or D drives either. I believe there is a copy on one or more of the recovery partitions but I do not know how to get that file from those partitons.
I am confused as to why there are seven partitions on that one drive:
1 Recovery partition 1000 MB
2 EFI system partition 260 MB
3 OEM partition 1000 MB
4. Recovery partition 350 MB
5. Recovery partition 20 GB
6. Lenovo D: 25 GB
7. Windows 8 C: 250 GB
Can someone help me and give me some instructions on how I can fix the system to find the winre.wim file?
Thanks for any good input.
Calle

Hi Calle,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the error message is displayed in your G580 Laptop, as the OS (Operating System) installed is Windows 8.1 or Windows 8. Recovery discs cannot be created only a “Recovery Media” can be created using USB Flash drive, below is the link to create USB recovery drive.

Do post us back if the issue persists.

How to Continue Creating Recovery Disks after Updating Window 8.0 to 8.1

My laptop is hp 2000-2d62nr notebook pc (energy star) S/N: 5CG342027W
I might mess up the HP Recover Manager as follow:
I was attempting to create the recovery disks for the HP Window 8.0 laptop. HP Recovery Manager needed 5 disks. After 2 disks made done, I left my laptop for two hours. Then I returned to my laptop and saw Window to ask me to update Window 8.1. And I updated it to Window 8.1.
After Window 8.1 update done, the system had been restarted. When returning to HP Recovery manager, it asked me to continue the third recovery disks. I selected "Continue". However, Disk 3 verified failed at 15%, the pop up window asked me to use another disk and try again. I attempted second times by restart my laptop. again, Disk 3 verified failed at 2%,
How do I clean this mess and make a 2nd set of recovery disks?
Thank you for your suggestions.
Best Regards,
This question was solved.

I called the above phone number. Tech Support told me to charge $40.00 for recovery disks. I complained this and they transfered me to 877-917-4380 to talk with Case Manager. He agreed sending the recovery disks with no charge

Satellite L500 - cannot create recovery disks - 0D00F6-49-00000001 error

Hello,
My pc start acting up after i made a system restore.For exemple i cant use the fn key function.
Last week i decided to format my pc. But when i opened the TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator i got an unespected error 0D00F6-49-00000001.
I mananged to create 2 of the 4 dvd's. Im using Dvd-r from memorex.
Can someone help.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Is this the first time you try to create recovery discs?
How you have created 2 discs if the Toshiba recovery disc creator starts with error?
Anyway, in this forum you can find similar threads. Probably is some recovery file corrupted and disc cannot be created.
I dont think there is something you can do about it. Either it works or not. Maybe you should contact nearest Toshiba service and explain the situation. I hope they can help you with this and order original Toshiba DVD disc for you.

Cannot create recovery media on T61

Hi, two days ago I got my Lenovo Thinkpad T61 with Vista Business. I decided to downgrade to Win XP, so I found out, that I need to create a recovery media. I looked to Start > Programs > Thinkvantage, but there was no such option as create recovery media. So I was googling and I figured out that I didn't have installed Rescue and Recovery software. I downloaded (English) Rescue and Recovery 4.21 for Windows Vista from Lenovo webpage and installed it. Then I went again to Start > Programs > Thinkvantage and there was the option Create Recovery media. I clicked there, but there was only option to create Rescue media. Here is the screenshot :
http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/4570/97770442.jpg
Also I was trying to find if I have that hidden partition. In windows I found some 513MB partition, but there was 100% free space.
http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4834/20885840.jpg
In linux I found only one partition, where is installed windows. Is there any way that I don't have this hidden partition, so I cannot create recovery media, or where is the problem? Thanks in advance.

If it is the official Lenovo downgrade discs, it is actually a XP pro recovery media, so you don't need the Vista OS to work. It will create its own recovery partition on your hdd. But once you done it, there is no way of going back to VIsta, unless you image the hdd using a third party software like Acronis TrueImage (need to be purchased) or Easeus Disk Copy (free).

How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating to iOS 8.0.2?

How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating from iOS 8.0.1 to iOS 8.0.2?

In you case, the only way is to use data recovery app to get back your lost photos, so the chance is uncertain. It depends on how smart the app it's. The good news is that most of the apps allow you to try them out. You can test them out by yourself. The steps are:
Install data recovery app on your computer
connect your iPhone and allow the app scan iphone
display scanning result
choose local folder to store recovered items
You can choose to recover your photos from local disk, iTunes backup or icloud. More details can be found out here.

Cannot backup and sync after updated iTunes

Cannot backup and sync after updated iTunes. Have tried to hard reset iPhone (all data lost- sad) and reinstalled iTunes. Still cannot work.

It sounds like you bough the song only, not the song and the ringtone.
Ringtones via itunes are available in the U.S. only.
In the U.S. to make a ringtone you:
Buy the song with a bell - 99 cents
Find the song in your library and click the bell
This bring up the editor.
You edit the song to the portion you want.
Then click buy to purchase the ringtone - another 99 cents.
Then it shows up in ringtones and you can sync.
As I said, this method of creating ringtones is available in the U.S. only.
There are, however, many ways to make ringtones:

HT4848 Error creating recovery disk in Disk Assist

I've carefully followed all instruction in this post: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4848, but I am having an error when creating the recovery disk.
The recovery Disk Assist starts creating it, but stops early on. The message I get is titled "Conclusion," and it says "The recovery drive wasn't created. There was an error creating recovery disk."
Can anyone help me with this? I followed all the steps in the post above and I also created the partition on the external drive.
I really need to wipe out my computer and make it appear "as new" because I am selling it. Any help would be great!
Thanks!

Same happened to me. This makes absolutely no sense, but I just kept trying and trying then it finally worked. For me, it hasn't been worth the bother. These restore DVDs don't work like the ones I made for an Acer laptop, for example. On my Acer, I repartitioned, reformatted my drive and was easily able to restore my computer before I sold it. I've been going nuts trying to restore my computer after a clean install of Windows 7. Still can't get it to work.

Do user-created recovery disks work with replacement HDD of different capacity?

The original Seagate 250GB SATA HDD in my Pavilion G60-214EM notebook has completely failed (BIOS and other Windows machines cannot even see it). I replaced it with a Samsung 160GB SATA HDD but Recovery Manager on my user-created (DVD-R) recovery disk consistently fails at 2% of "Reformatting the Windows partition of your hard disk drive". If I look at the resulting partitions from another machine I see a 10.61 GB NTFS 'RECOVERY' partition, an empty active primary NTFS partition of 37.12 GB and 101.31 GB still unallocated.
Should the user-created recovery disks work if the replacement disk drive is smaller capacity than the original?
Should they work with a larger capacity replacement drive?
If not, can HP provide recovery disks that will work with a different capacity HDD?
Thanks,
--A

Hi, I am the same predicament as you are From my experience thus far, the replacement disk drive space needs to be bigger or equal to the original HD space. (e.g.. I had a 640 gb OEM HD, I cannot install or factory reset the new 500 gb WD HD because it says its too small...)
As for question 2, I am going to try to get a 1TB hard drive, though I don't know due to the prices and such. Will post back if I do.
Question 3: I do not know, someone else may be more knowledgeable:/
Hope this helps!

How to create recovery disks for Lenovo H530s with WIndows 8.1

Hello there,
I just purchased a Lenovo Hf30s type 10131 with Windows 8.1, mini tower: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/desktops-and-all-in-ones/lenovo-h-series-desktops/lenovo-h5...
I like to create recovery disks, but the already installed program OneKey Recovery does not have the option of recovery disks, it allows only larger media such as USB stick and hard disks.
Here to I have 2 questions:
1. Is there a way to create a recovery disks that will create the original factory settings with 5 partitions?
2. Does any one knows if the recovery siskd sold by Lenovo (for Netherlands they cost between 23 and 38 Euro) would do the job by creating the factory settings with 5 partitions?
My goal is to reformat the hard disk and aprtitionig it the way I need it, but in case of anything, I would like to be able to go back to the original facttory state of the unit, especially if I have a harddisk failure and neer to replace the hard didks.
Thank you in advance and I wish you a very pleasant and successful day.

How to create recovery disk on HP envy dv6 7258nr notebook pc - window 8

I m trying to create recovery disk from recovery drive which is created by hp while purchasing the laptop, while taking back up from recovery manager, Recovery Manager says (Recovery Partition has been removed - Recovery Media creation option is no longer available) , but as per my knowledge i did not took back up of recovery drive. So what should i do to take back up of my recovery drive to **bleep**.

Based on what you have stated, it appears that you or someone else with access to your notebook deleted the recovery partition. Without the recovery partition on the hard disk you can't make recovery media.
Your best option at this point would be to purchase a recovery disk set from HP or an HP Partner.

Cannot create a session after the response has been committed (Tomcat 6)

I'm getting a rather annoying error when I try to open a pretty basic JSP page.
I'm rather new to the whole JSP scene, so I'm following the example found on pages 287 and onwards in "JSF in Action - Manning" in case anyone wanted to check my code against the source.
I've searched for about 4 hours now, coming back to this site a couple of times, once reading about writeouts and stuff. But I'm not really sure this is the issue in this case and if it is, where exactly the problem lies.
I've already fixed a number of errors I got (jtsl.jar and standard.jar missing etc...) but this particular problem is driving me (and my co-workers for that matter :-) ) up the wall.
Anyone willing to help me out here?

When searching for this error, this was the first page google gave me. I found the answer and just in case anyone else stumbles in here with the same question I thought I'd share my findings.
Unfortunately, if your problem is the same as mine, you're going to feel pretty silly. I was navigating to the wrong page. If MyFaces(when running tomcat) tries to resolve to a page that doesn't exist, the error given above is what happens.
In my case I accidentally put my .jsp page into the wrong directory and ended up banging my head against the wall for an hour figuring that out. Hope this helps someone.
