manu, welcome to the forum,
your recovery cds, are these cds which you created yourself, or are they from Lenovo?
Please also state how many discs you have and what they are named.
This information will enable members to offer you hopefully the right solution.
Thanks

Toshiba L50-A Cannot use recovery partition.

Hello i have l50-A series satelite laptop.
I had windows 8.
Recently i installed windows 8.1 from dvd. (oem), and just in case, i did not touch recovery partition to use it later.
Right now i want to use recovery partition for the factory reset, but i cannot reach recovery partition.
I tried pressing 0,
I tried using boot menu,
I tried windows 8.1 recovery options... nothing works.
(also right now it seems to be multiple recovery partitions..)
I'm pretty sure factory recovery partition is healty and still stood. (seen as 10gb partition)
ps: "Kurtarma Bölümü" = Recovery Partition.

Toshiba uses the number 0 or f12 to reach the recovery on start up. Press the shift key when shutting down then press the number 0 or the f12 on start up, you may have to press the fn key and the 0 or f12.
Some have posted that after going to Windows 8.1 it breaks the Windows 8 recovery option so they had to use Windows 8 recovery media.

Replacing hard drive & using recovery discs made by myself.

HPdv6 2119tx laptop. After replacing hard drive and loading recovery discs (that I made) successfuly, on reboot it messages something about cannot locate disk or load bootable disk (sorry, cannot remember exact wording but back to the start). Could this be because I replaced a 650gb drive with a 500gb drive.
This question was solved.

Hi:
Normally you cannot use recovery disks on a smaller hard drive.
But you should be able to at least boot from the first recovery disk and see what happens.
To do that, you need to have the first disk in your dvd drive.
Restart the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, tap the ESC key and select the one time boot menu option. From that, select the DVD drive and proceed.
If the ESC key method doesn't work, tap the F9 key instead.
It depends on the type of BIOS in your PC (normally dependent on its age) as to what key you need to tap.

Will I lose my photos in recovery mode? I tried to update to latest software and I received a message that iphone needs to be updated to factory settings. Please help. I cannot use iphone.

I would "guess", since you were in the middle of backing up, your backup is corrupt & most likely unusable. Only one way to find out though, & that's by trying to restore from that backup. If your pics are not there, they are gone.

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 to use recovery files in recovery partition in hp dv6 notebook in windows 7

i am trying to recover my notebook to factory settings without using recovery disks in windows 7.
but using whenever i try to recver from the system recovery file in control panel, when the computer restarts it says that there is no bootable media or recovery disk.
while using recovery manager, it says system recovery is disabled try using recovery media creation but recovery media creation says that recovery media has already been created once and it cannot be created again.
whenever i open the recovery file in the partition hard drive it says, this partition is for recovery donot alter or delete this partition. it has covered about 10 gb space but whenver i open it the file is empty and hp logo appears with instructions that its is fixed for partition donot alter it.
can anyone tell what to do??
This question was solved.

Having the hdd in Dynamic state breaks Recovery function. Converting bck to Basic should not delete your data...unless the data is on the extra partition you need to delete in order to get the hdd back to Basic.

Cannot start recovery installation on my Satellite A200-28P

I am trying to restore my Toshiba laptop Satellite A200-28P (Windows Vista Home) using the product recovery disk supplied with the laptop, no matter what I try to do I cannot get it to run, the only thing it will allow me to do is restore the laptop to an earlier date. I have full admin rights on the laptop, there are no virus's or any other malware on it, all this seems to have happened since it updated with windows vista about two days ago, have uninstalled the updates but that had no effect.
I cannot find the recovery console any where on the laptop yet I know it was there before. I have tried many of the solutions found on the web but none of them work. I did use the recovery disc about 2 1/2 years ago when the laptop crashed and it worked fine then.
Any help apprecited

I cannot remember anymore how it was with A200.
Have you got recovery DVD only or you were also able to start HDD recovery installation using F8 at start up (Advanced boot options > Repair my computer)?
Anyway, your problem description confuses me.
If you use recovery DVD as bootable disc there is no repair console or some options.
When recovery installation starts you can just see menu where you must click on next.

Thank you very much!

Hi,
So, you can set the parameter DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE
by using this other node:
ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE=<size> SCOPE=spfile;And in the first node with problems to start the instance you can start like this:

Cannot use Keyboard and touchpad at the same time? Twist

Hi,
I have the lenovo twist with the i7 processor and a 500GB hard drive (8GB ram). I have noticed that when using the keyboard, you cannot use the touchpad. Although you can use the trackpoint? I know this is a minor issue but can it be updated to fix?

Hi, Kyleosipad
You should be able to do this; it just requires the changing of a setting. If you navigate to Control Panel ► Mouse ► UltraNav ►Settings ► Smart Check Notices ► PalmCheck, you can adjust the PalmCheck sensitivity. PalmCheck is a feature that helps reduce misclicks and touches of the TrackPad. If you uncheck the box that says Prioritize for keyboard and touch input, and click Apply, then you should be able to type and use the TrackPad simultaneously.
Best,
Adam
Yes, that's true - you can disable the "Prioritize for keyboard and touch input," but then you lose Palm Check ENTIRELY even though it's still "set" to its default position. Mine is set one setting from the red setting, so the Palm Check should be active and working as normal. However, when I start typing it goes nuts and my mouse pointer jumps all over the place. The only way I can get it to behave is to again enable "Prioritize for keyboard and touch input."
Can you confirm this?

Install Windows 7 on Lenovo t60

I have a lenovo t60 core2duo 1.83ghz 2gb ram and i have Windows vista it possible to put Windows 7?
Moderator Note: moved to correct board and edited subject to reflect topic.

Yes it will run W7 just fine. Stay with a 32-bit version, though, especially if you don't want to upgrade the RAM.
It takes about 10 minutes to remove the keyboard/palmrest and swap the DIMMs, even if you've never done it before, though...
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

Welcome to the forum!
Try avoiding SSDs with a SandForce controller, I've experienced quite a few issues with them on this generatioon of ThinkPads. Intel's 520 and 530 are such drives, amongst others.
Crucial M4/500/550/MX1, Samsung 830/840 Pro, Intel 320/730 should all work fine.
Good luck.

Re: Equium P300-P6T - dual boot, need to reinstall but cannot access recovery

Hi
Have got a friends EQUIUM P300-P6T that he would like me to fix but having problems recovering.
He currently has windows 7 and WXP installed on separate partitions so can choose which OS to boot when loading. The factory for the laptop is Vista but he has replaced that with 7.
However, some of the booting files in Vista have become corrupt and cannot be fixed by the windows recovery so looks like a new install of Vista is needed.
This should not seem a problem but:
a) I tried holding 0 down as I switch on to access the recovery partition (which does still exist as I can see it there from within computer management if I load xp) but it does nothing so I cannot recover from the recovery partition.
b) I tried reinstalling Vista onto that partition using a vista OEM disc however, where it it gets to the stage of "completing install" the progress bar stays the same place forever about 3/4 of the way through as though it has crashed.
c) I did manage to get an install of windows 7 on it however when I loaded it, it would not recognise the keyboard or touchpad (even though no problem with the drivers for each) yet the cursor could be moved with a USB mouse plugged in. Also, the boot partition now gave a choice of "xp, vista, older windows installations".
I have now put the computer back to the original state it was in for the time being. However, the route I would like to go down is to use the recovery partition to restore Vista and the factory settings on that particular partition.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can do this or what my best solution is? Like I say, holding 0 down whilst booting has no effect yet the recovery partition is still existent on the hard drive.
Unfortunately there are no recovery media that I have access to.
Thanks

Hi
The whole story is very interesting and I would like to help somehow. Your posting is pretty long with very useful information but, if I understand you right, you just want to install original Vista recovery image. Can you confirm this?
If you have more questions please ask one by one and then we can answer them one by one.
Anyway, if your answer is YES here is my explanation:
Recovery image saved on HDD can be used with factory settings only. With other words: when original recovery image is installed you will have full access to this recovery image. In case that some other OS is installed (Win7 or WXP) this original state will be overwritten and you will lose this recovery option ( HDD recovery installation ). Only way ti have factory settings again is to use recovery DVD disc. If your friend didnt create this disc (ignoring Toshibas recommendation) than you have big problem now.
Please tell us one more time what are your options now. what do you want to do now?

Attempting to install Maverick, error message says I cannot use my hard drive as a start up disk.

The IT department where I work erased the hard drive and rebooted it to 10.7.5. In attempting to upgrade it to Maverick I encountered the error message saying that I cannot use this hard drive as the start up disk (or something to that effect). I read a couple of posts saying either to partition the hard drive or erase it entirely and boot from the recovery hard drive. Before doing any of that I booted using the option key, but did not find a recovery drive to boot to… only the disk0s2.
Some stats on my computer:
15-inch, late 2011
2.4 ghz intel core i7
AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
C02H825CDV7P

The partition table is corrupt. Boot into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime) and partition the drive with the default options (GUID format, one data partition.) The operation will destroy all data on the drive, so you'll have to restore from a backup.
