Error while trying to install Rescue & Recovery 4.3 on Lenovo 3000 N500

Well, hello to everyone.
I hope you can understand this, because my English is not very good.
So, let's get to the point.
Recently, I tried to install Rescue & Recovery on my Lenovo 3000 N500. But when everything is nearing completion, I get the message that states: "Rescue & Recovery can only be installed on some systems."
Please explain me a bit this "in some systems," because I've had before the Rescue & Recovery. I do not understand why I can not install it now.
I appreciate your help in advance

Hi,
the key point is that RnR application can be installed only on some systems (especially ThinkPads)
This is due to the fact, that these systems have some functions, like the F11 key, hardcoded in the machine and can thus use the full quality of this application.
Unfortunately system like yours is not supported by this application, so you will not be able to install, nor use it.
Cheers

Windows 7 Upgrade: Cannot install Rescue and Recovery 4.3

I recently upgraded my T500 from Vista to Windows 7.
I have downloaded the following Lenovo software: Lenovo Thinkvantage Software Toolbox and Lenovo System Update 4.
I would also like to install Rescue and Recovery 4.3. I downloaded the program from Lenovo's site, but I cannot get it to install properly. I keep getting an error indicating that Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x64) SP1 must be installed. I downloaded this from Microsoft's site and installed it, but I keep getting the same error.
And help???

Hi guys I have the same problem, however after installing the 2005 version of the package from the link provided by lenovo here (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4Q2QAK&AID=10429688&PID=3719336&...
I went to the control panel and checked what version of this package is installed. The case was that there were 3 versions of Visual C++ 2005 redistributable already installed. This is a fresh installation of Win7 - 64bit
I removed all of them and reinstalled the one suggested by lenovo.
The problem still continues.
I also noticed the following article from about the same time the package was released in 2006 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920854
Could it be that the RnR tool can not detect the redistributable package?
So far I have no idea how to solve this. Any help is appreciated.

Problem re-installing Rescue & Recovery

I run X200S Windows 7 and uninstalled Rescue & Recovery some time ago believing it was causing some problems (not sure if it did). Now I want to restore the laptop to factory settings and need to re-install R&R. I have downloaded tvtvrnr431_007en.exe but keep getting error message cannot find correct .tvt file for installation. I have tried to put the exe file in different directories where I find .tvt files, but to no avail. I have also run a registry scan. A week-end's work so far, can anybody help, where should the exe file be installed and what other files need to be in the same direcorty. Your help would be much appreciated.

Well, now I know, thanks. All this is because the machine has become slow and unstable. I have tried various magic tools that are supposed to spruce it up (AVG and Uniblue) but I experience nothing but frustration. Do you have any suggestions short of restoring the drive? Maybe uninstall all programs from control panel and install fresh ones? I am using a spare X61s running XP at the moment, feels like Formula 1.

No, it doesnt work this way. A fresh lenovo comes with an S: C: and Q: drive. The Q drive is where all the factory recovery stuff are located. The blue button and RnR check the S: Drive and launch the Q drive. So if you do not have the S and Q drive, there is nothing much you can do.
All new lenovo users should burn their recovery discs when they get their computer. And before they delete the Q drive, another warning will come up giving notice for burning the recovery discs. If neither of these actions are done, then there is no recovery. There is nothing RnR can do as you have discovered, it just can't find the Q drive.
Since your data are safe. As mentioned, the options you have are to request for a set of recovery discs from lenovo or download a genuine window 7, install and use the win7 keys at the back of the laptop (underneath the battery).
For advanced users
If you want to try something, check if the S drive is there (it's hidden), then find a partition recovery tool and try to recover the Q drive. It's located after the C drive and quite deep into the harddisk, maybe it was delete but the track has not been overwritten or tainted.

Unable to install Rescue & Recovery on X201 Think Pad

I have just bought a pre-owned Think Pad X201-3680-FZ2 laptop with Windows 7 professional, and for my own peace of mind wanted to restore it to factory settings before I start using it.
There are no recovery disks so I have downloaded the Rescue & Recovery 4.52 Setup but when I run the programme it gets to a certain point and then I receive the error message Error 25014. There was an error installing the Rescue and Recovery boot manager. Return code: 6
I have searched for a solution to this problem online, and see that I am not alone, but the responses I find either do not seem to apply to me as the other programmes mentioned are not installed, or I do not understand them.
I am not a computer expert, just a domestic / home office user, so need a solution in very easy to understand terms. The Think Pad I have came with no instruction manuals, and as far as I can see, all the programmes installed relate to the operation of the Think Pad itself. There does not seem to be Rescue & Recovery already installed on the ThinkPad.
Does anyone have a solution to this which they could explain to me in simple terms, please?

What are the partitions labels?
According to the information you've provided:
1. you have fresh installed OS in OEM reduction, it's activated from the BIOS, it's not a Lenovo preloaded image
2. two recovery partitions (recovery workspace and partition for the stored image) were removed during the new OS installation.
Also, needed bootloader was removed so you are facing error regarding R&R installation. Perhaps OS was installed w/o complete drive cleaning.
Are there any archives on the drive? Try to find files with .wim extension (like sdrivebackup.wim and cdrivebackup.wim). It's the only chance previous owner saved preloaded image.
Nevertheless, don't worry, no problem to perform fresh installation

Cannot install Rescue and Recovery 4.21: Error 25011 no matter what.

T41.
I had an issue with my Thinkpad, and considered reinstalling WinXP. I discovered I never made RnR recovery disks. In fact, I don't have RnR installed.
Nor can I install it.
I get the 25011 "can't find TVT file" error. I've tried three different installers, two "complete language package" versions, and one English-only version. In all three cases, the installer reports that it can't find a tvt file (but of course it doesn't tell me which one it can't find.).
The versions I've tried are:
z652_setup_rnr42_016c.exe
z501_setup_rnr42_511c.exe
tvtrnr42_1016en.exe
Any hints?
Thanks

T61p - 64b - cannot install Rescue and Recovery

When I try to install R&R I get a message that says there is not enough space. I have plenty. R&R did function correctly on Vista 64, although I had to re-install frequently. I would invoke R&R but it didn't show. The T61p was orifinally shipped with XP 32bit. I do run bit locker and DEP, but I turned both off with the same result.
I am currently running RTM but the results were the same with RC7.

Trojan threat detected when installing Rescue & Recovery

I am performing a fresh install of Win7 on a T61p. I downloaded the 'Thinkpad Rescue and Recovery' installer (tvtvrnr43_1027fi.exe) from Lenovo's download site and ran it to began installing it. After some unpacking and working through the setup wizard a bit AVG detected the following as a threat:
File: C:\preboot\utils\rnrdbgtool.exe
Threat: Trojan horse Agent_r.BKV
Since I know this package came direct from Lenovo and since R&R is likely doing things that LOOK like a trojan, I have to believe AVG is throwing a false positive here. But before I proceed I wanted to ask anyone else if they have encountered this before? Is it possible that the R&R installer is actually infected with a virus??
Thanks,
Rob

The answer to this is No... not even your AVG suspects that. A trojan is much different then a Virus. An example of a trojan would be a computer program that claims to do one thing, but really does something different. A virus is a generic definition of a type of malware that infects and reproduces and spreads.
Any program that can make major changes to a computer could easily be detected as a false positive by anti-virus software, and AVG is one of the worse when it comes to false detections.
My advice is to look it up on AVG's database and see what it is they claim to have found. Odds are it's a generic classification or a heuristic definition, meaning their software is basically making a wild guess that it might not be what it claims to be.
If you're overly concerned about this you can update your AVG definitions each day until it's removed from the database. I'd also report it to AVG, they can't rule it out until someone reports it. Odds are it's been reported already, but it's best to check and do your part and improving a freeware product.
I doubt lenovo can do anything about it anyway. If the file was infected with a virus, that may be a different story, but most servers will detect a change in the file and anything infected will be removed very quickly. With a trojan definiton, it would be like trying to prove a negative. For example, if you say you're a doctor, but I say you're a plumber, you can easily prove you are a doctor, but you can't so easily prove you're NOT a plumber, and in this case AVG probably isn't even saying what type of program it thinks this really is, so that makes it infintiely harder to prove... so the ball is in AVG's court, then need to fix it, or provide something specific for lenovo to contest or fix.

Installing Rescue & Recovery on a dual-boot T60

Should I be surprised that the installation of Rescue and Recovery 4.5 fails on a dual-boot T60? It has had a recent upgrade from WinXP to Win 7 32-bit and I have since deleted the old SERVICEV0001 partition. Linux Mint 11 is on another partition and grub is launched in the C: partition. The error I get when the installer has unpacked the kit and starts to run the .msi is: "Error 25014.There was an error installing the Rescue and Recovery boot manager. Return code: 6."
I did have to do a repair job on grub as a result of deleting that service partition. Unbeknown to me, grub had been previously running on there.
The BIOS version is 2.23 from Sept 2008. I see that a v.2.34 is available. Could this be what is throwing this installation? Are there any known pitfalls with this BIOS update?
I do have a second hard-drive in the Ultrabay and I note that, since the OS upgrade, that drive is stealing the drive0 (sda) slot and forcing the boot drive to be drive1 (sdb). This doesn't bother grub; but does the R & R installer perhaps want the Ultrabay empty?

Hi prudhvi,
No, dual boot will not be the key points here.
"WE COULD NOT UPDATE THE SYSTEM RESERVED PARTITION" This error poped up might be caused by the low space on your system reserved partition, you may take a look at the partition usage through Disk management.
Further, in addition to upgrade your Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, you may also consider to install Windows 10 on another clean partition, which will make your system triple-boot. Or consider to take use of Hyper-V.
If you have spaces available.

What can i do? What's the problem? Can anyone help me out?

Hi:
Your hard drive has conked out, and you need to purchase a new one.
Then you should be able to reinstall W7.

Cannot install HP Recovery Manager

Hi,
Wanting to do a factory reset of my TouchSmart PC (HP IQ515UK) and am experiencing difficulties. Have downloaded the file (HP Recovery Manager Application Update): http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-77533-1&cc=uk&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Followed the instructions and am met with the following message: 'The update did not complete successfully. (259)'
Have researched on these forums mainly which has suggested to delete temporary files via Disk Cleanup which I have done and disable my security program. Neither have worked. I also have the windows updates up-to-date.
My current OS is Windows 7 Professional SP 1 (32 bit). It was originally Vista but I upgraded to 7. I saw a couple people mention that if it was done via a clean install the update wouldn't work but this isn't the case. I also to my knowledge don't think that there are any recovery disks for this PC which is unfortunate.
Any help?

Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart IQ515uk Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model shipped from the factory with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit installed. If you upgrade vs. a clean install, there is no way you could have installed Windows 7 Pro 32-bit on the computer. You may try marking the "Recovery" partition as active using the Windows "Disk Management Console" and reboot the computer. If this works, it should put you in recovery mode.

Need to Password Protect Rescue & Recovery 4.5 on my X220

I have purchased a X220 and have installed Rescue & Recovery 4.5. My OS is Windows 7 64bit. I am wanting to set a password on Rescue & Recovery so that when any user tries to open the software, from within Windows, they have to enter a password. Is this possible?

That's not a feature of R&R.
But windows has a feature where you can restrict access to any application that you specify: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/80605-applications-prevent-running-specified-programs.html
The way this would work, is that you log into the computer as "admin" then you can run any application that you want. Your other users log into the computer as "user" and then they are only allowed the run the applications that you specify.

How to install Rescue and Recovery 4.21 on Windows 2003

There should be a good amount of users running Windows 2003 on their thinkpad for various reasons. As much as I tried, I could not get Rescue and Recovery's MSI to install on my X61 running Win2003 R2 SP2, despite attempts to modify the Setup.ini file.
the changes made in setup.ini:
[Win2003Server]
MajorVer=5
MinorVer=2
MinorVerMax=3
BuildNo=3790
PlatformId=2
The returned installer error is "The current operating system is not supported for running Rescue and Recovery. Supported operating systems includes Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or later".
This is such a shame as I'm pretty sure RR would run just fine on win2003 as both WinXP and win2003 are based on the same underlying technologies and code. Please advice if there's any method such as a command switch for MSI installer to suppress OS detection error or any modification that can be made to setup.ini to get it to install on win2003 or any utility that can be used to modify MSI files and database? Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Alrighty..I've manage to google a hack to this problem of getting Rescue and Recovery to install on Windows 2003. So let this post be a guide to how to get this done:
Getting the tools to modify Rescue and Recovery MSI (Windows Installer)
Download and install Orca MSI editor from http://astebner.sts.winisp.net/Tools/Orca.zip
Review http://ravi1337.blogspot.com/2007/05/orca-msi-editor-make-any-software.html, this guide should give you a good idea what you'll be doing with this tool.
Download Rescue and Recovery™ 4.21 from Lenovo
Download Rescue and Recovery™ 4.21 for Windows XP (32-bit) or Windows 2000 from http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/license.do?filename=thinkvantage_en/z652_setup_rnr42_016c...
Ensure you are downloading full install with all language pack to avoid any missing installation file due to regional settings
Run the installer and see that all files are extracted accordingly.
Modification of Rescue and Recovery Installer
Delete all files in C:\Documents and Settings\(User Account Name)\Local Settings\Temp\ this will prevent confusion on which files are unpacked and created by RR installer
Extract z652_setup_rnr42_016c.exe into a folder named z652_setup_rnr42_016c.
Execute tvtrnr42.exe
The MSI installer is then unpacked to the following default directory: C:\Documents and Settings\(User Account Name)\Local Settings\Temp\. Note that the installer creates two directories for installation of RR, that are {F151F2B3-0C32-44D3-90E2-E639B8024622} and _isXXXX <--- 4 randomly generated digits
The folder _isXXXX contain Rescue and Recovery.msi
On the first run of the installer, the following error will be shown "The current operating system is not supported for running Rescue and Recovery. Supported operating systems includes Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or later". DO NOT CLICK OK! This is cause the installer to purge all installation files and related directories in the temp directory. Just leave the error window as it is without clicking the OK button!
Copy all TVT files from folder z652_setup_rnr42_016c into both directories
Modify setup.ini entry for Win2003Server with notepad and save changes:
[Win2003Server]
MajorVer=5
MinorVer=2
MinorVerMax=3
BuildNo=3790
PlatformId=2
Right-click on Rescue and Recovery.msi and edit with Orca
Go to LaunchCondition Table
Drop the following rows and save changes:
(((VersionNT=501 AND ServicePackLevel>=1)OR (VersionNT=500 AND ServicePackLevel>=3)) AND WINSERVER=0) OR Installed- The current operating system is not supported for running [ProductName]. Supported operating systems include Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 2000 with Service Pack 3 or later and Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or later.
IEEXISTS=1 OR Installed - [ProductName] requires Microsoft(R) Internet Explorer version 5.5 or higher. You cannot install the Rescue and Recovery program without this version of Internet Explorer.
INCOMPAPPNAME=0 OR Installed - [INCOMPAPPNAME] is installed and is incompatible with this version of [ProductName]. This application cannot be installed. To install [ProductName], uninstall [INCOMPAPPNAME] and then restart this setup.
Not SGEWRONGVERSION OR Installed - [INCOMPAPPNAME] is installed and is incompatible with this version of [ProductName]. This application cannot be installed. To install [ProductName], uninstall [INCOMPAPPNAME] and then restart this setup.
When you're done with these modification, re-run Rescue and Recovery.msi without closing the previous error window. Rescue and Recovery should now install without any glitch! Good Luck!
