E330 Recovery Issue

Hi All,
I have a Thinkpad E330 on Windows 8 that I need to access the advanced start up options with as it has a corrupt boot sector.
So, I use a USB Pen with Windows 8 iso on it (I installed this to the USB pen using the Microsoft ISO to USB tool), when I get to the advanced startup, I choose my language only to be faced with the following message:
"You must log in to access System Recovery Options". I can only press OK to reboot the system.
I didn't make any recovery discs, so am pretty stumped at this stage hoping for advice on here.
Where can I log in to access the System Recovery Options?
Is there any other way round it?
Many thanks.
Craig

An inconsistent backup of a NOARCHIVELOG database is useless... Worse than useless, actually, if it provides a false sense of security that the database has been backed up and the data is somewhat safe.
I'm afraid the answer is most likely that the database is gone forever. If this is particularly valuable data, Oracle Consulting does have a tool (as do the ORA-600 folks in DUDE) that can probably recover most of the data from the data files. But these are not cheap utilities-- unless this is particularly valuable data, it may be more cost effective to toss the backups, find what data you can from other sources (old backups, old exports, other databases, etc) and chalk the cost of reconstituting the rest of the data up to the cost of hiring DBAs that didn't know what they were doing.

I'd strongly suggest opening a Metalink ticket just to cover your own butt here. I expect them to tell you the same thing, but it's obviously a lot easier to go to management to tell them they've lost their data or that they need to write a check with lots of 0's to get it back because Metalink said so rather than because some guy on the internet said so.

Windows 8 Recovery Issue On HP Laptops

I have an Envy 17t j000 that runs the Windows 8 operating system which I have upgraded to 8.1. Because why not.
About a month ago I have decided to do a system recovery at the end of my college semester. I preferred to do a Minimized System Recovery, however, I am unable to run the recovery partition while my computer is upgraded to Windows 8.1. So, my only solution was to use the recovery discs to downgrade it to Windows 8, and then do a Minimized System Recovery through the recovery parition. It had worked once before in 2013.
So here is where the issue actually began. After all three recovery discs have been used, as well as with and without the optional applications disc, the computer restarts on its own and goes into the installation process. After a long period of time the end result will be one of the following:
Just a blank screen.
A blank screen, restart, HP logo, and repeat forever, as in entire day.
An error message showing that the "Recovery Has Failed".
I have talked to several HP technicians and have attempted the following:
I've ran the diagnostic for the HDD and the entire system and left it looping until error. All passed.
I received a new set of recovery discs from HP. Failed.
I was asked to change the date back to 2013 in the BIOS and to try the recovery again. Surprisingly the recovery was successful. However, I wanted to make sure so I tried again. Failed.
I was also asked to reset the BIOS to default. I ran the recovery again. Failed.
Eventually I sent in my laptop for repair as it is still in warrenty. A week later I received my laptop with Windows 8 preinstalled. I tried to recreate the problem by doing a recovery using the recovery parition. It worked. However, I also wanted to make sure the discs would work as well. Failed.
At some point, the laptop simply stopped responding when attempting to start a new recovery. It had enough I suppose. HP took in my laptop again for repair, but not before the technicians making me runs the same diagnostics again. One of the technicians mentioned that it could possibly be one of HP's BIOS update that is causing an issue for Windows 8 to install properly.
Anyway, the only other person I found to have a similar issue was this guy from last year.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Recovery/HP-Windows-8-Recovery-Failed-Used-Recovery-Discs/td-p...
So I was wondering, is it just few people? I haven't really seen any other complains. Perhaps its only because not a lot of people do a recovery until something goes horribly wrong, in which case they will face the same issue I have.

Do you have an exact model number? HP TouchSmart 600-????? AIO PC

Sometimes it helps to prep the new hdd with Cyberlink Utility cd first. Download and Save the file. Once download is complete, put a blank cd in your drive and click the file to create a boot cd. Boot with this cd and wait until you get a green check mark indicating hdd is ready. Remove the cd , insert first Recovery Disk and restart the laptop.

HP Spectre 13-1310dx Win 8.1 USB Recovery issue

Hello!
I have been trying to recover my HP Spectre 13-1310dx ultrabook from its original USB Recovery Media 749738-003 (Win 8.1). However each time I am having a error massage which says
"Detect some error during PININST_BBV"
"Check C:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootWarn.log"
or "check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootMerge.log"
Anybody knows any solution for this issue?
Thanks

Hi @Servetb
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a great place to find answers and tips!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that when you tried to do the recovery from a USB key you received the error "Detect some error during PININST_BBV"
"Check C:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootWarn.log"
or "check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootMerge.log"
First I would test for any hardware failures just to rule out that possibiltiy'
Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)
This step resolved this issue for someone else perhaps it will work for you also.
When you boot up your computer hit F10 that will take you to the BIOS manager. then hit F9 to set BIOS to factory default save and exit then do recovery.
Here are two more links that may be of assistance.
Recovering your computer from a USB flash drive
Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems (Windows 8)
You could also try changing the date in the bios to BIOS to 1/01/2012.
If the issue should still remain please contact HP support for assistance. It is possible the the recovery media has a problem.
Good Luck!

Help needed with Windows 8.1 boot and recovery issue

Hi. I hope someone can help me out with this Windows 8.1 issue. A friends computer (HP 2000-2c27CL Notebook) was badly infected and while I was able to do some cleaning in normal Windows I had to do some in Safe Mode. I was not being able to access Safe Mode so I went to Advanced Startup Options in Windows 8, Troubleshoot, then Advanced options, and finally the Command Prompt. Using the command prompt I typed "bcdedit /set {default} safeboot network" to have Safe Mode with Networking. Ever since I did that I haven't been able to get Windows to do a normal boot. I always get Safe Mode. I can't get back to Advanced Startup Options either. Via msconfig in Safe Mode I selected the Normal startup button on the General tab and selected apply and then ok. It then prompted me to restart the computer which I did. This did not fix the issue as I continue to get Safe Mode every time I start the computer. I also tried to do a complete system restore by typing "Recovery" in Windows 8 which brought up the HP Recovery Manager. Once in there I selected the Windows Recovery Environment and it prompted me to reboot the computer. I was expecting to get to an area where I could do a complete factory restore, but I again got booted into Safe Mode. What the heck is going on? The person who has this computer has no restore media... no USB or DVD discs made. There is however a recovery partition I believe, but as I said I can't do anything because I keep getting Safe Mode. Also I tried to use a antivirus emergency boot disk with this computer and I could not get it to boot from the DVDRom drive. I went into the BIOS and saw that Legacy is disabled and UEFI appears to be enabled by default. How am I to change the boot order to get it to boot from the disk and do scans for malware? I thought I did it correctly by moving the Rom drive to the top of the list, but that didn't work. I despise Windows 8x!!!
Help with this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi HPenn, welcome to the HP Forums. Unfortunately if you are unable to perform a recovery using any of the available methods: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
You will have to order recovery media: Order software and driver media
I hope this helps.

HT4848 I have a Recovery issue with late 2012 Mac Mini

I have a Mac Mini late 2012 purchased last week. I put a Mercury 240GB SSD into the top bay and upped the RAM to 16GB. I then formatted the SSD and used Recovery to install the OS on the SSD. The system performs as expected EXCEPT... when I use the Recovery Disk of either drive I get a message that both the original Drive and the SSD are damaged. If I select either drive it says if I choose Fix it will erase Both drives. Is this because Recovery sees 2 identical OSs on different drives? I had planned on erasing the 1TB 5400 drive that came with the MM but I'm hesitant until I resolve this issue. Any thoughts? Is the Mac Mini operating a "special" OS? I haven't seen this behavior before. Report says it's build OS X 10.8.2 (12C2034). FWIW mylate 2010 MBA and early 2008 iMac have build OS X 10.8.2 (12C60). Is this a possible Bug as I haven't noticed this type of behavior before?

I thought about your dilemma while ASC was down, that's good news your welcome!
I spent some of the time replacing the 320GB 5400rpm HD in my 2010 Mac Mini with a 500GB Hitachi Travelstar 7200rpm HD. Then moved forward by Restoring Mountain Lion onto it from an External HD, instead of Snow Leopard from the original 5400rpm drive. I really prefer to keep my music and photos on the Internal HD and so I couldn't justify the cost of a larger SSD.
So basically I flip flopped and now running Mountain Lion on a larger/slightly faster Internal HD and Snow Leopard from a FireWire External HD when needed.

G570 One Key Recovery Issue

Hi lenovo,
I have bought lenovo G570 8 months ago. i asked for a original os. It came with win 7 home and OKR. after the release of win 8 i installed win 8 in C: .but the oem partition was good . i did not disturb It. after install and boot win 8 did not open. so i used OKR to go back to factory settings. but OKR did not open. I had a recovery disk earlier. i`ve used It to install home basic but i am not satisfied with this copy as It had a lot of errors. i need a factory setting. in the disk management i can see that 14.75 gb oem partition is 100% free. system is not booting into OKR environment. next i installed a fresh copy of win 7 ultimate. during install, while selecting the partition It showed the 14.75 GB oem partition as only 4.35 GB free others used. actually data is inside It. but OKR is not booting. i asked the nearest shop he asked to bring me another G570 laptop so that he can copy its content to my hdd. so ways are there to copy contents to oem. Can anyone help me

Hi Balkishan,
Thanks for posting and welcome to the Lenovo Community,
Am sorry to hear about the issue that you’re facing but I’d like to confirm to you that the recovery won’t be working as the recovery image is corrupted so there’s no way to be able to let the OKR working again,
And I’d like to advise you to be able to install windows 7 on C: and free space you start a fresh installation for windows 7 and using the copy of the windows 7 you can format C: by pressing on the Local Disk C: from inside the installation process,
And then press format and then you can choose this partition to install windows 7 on,
And I’d like to provide you with contact numbers for the service support to call them if u needs any support:

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.

Recovery issue in standby

hi
I have one primary and one standby database. (Not a dataguard standby)
Assume:
table1 --->datafile1---->tablespace1
I issue:
alter table table1 move tablespace system;
drop tablespace tablespace1
create tablespace tablespace1 datafile 'datafile1' reuse.
alter table table1 move tablespace tablespace1.
After this operation I copy the controlfile to standby and then issue:
alter database create datafile 'datafile1' as 'datafile1'
and then start recovery.
There is no problem.
What I wanna ask is,
After I issue "alter database create datafile as " , the table1 will be deleted.
How can I oracle perform recovery successfully? (How can oracle move table1 to system it is already deleted.)

Hi,
Is it physical or logical standby?
How did you copy the control file?
Don't forget that the control file contains the file names, not the tablespaces. So if the new created file is in the same name as the old one, nothiing's wrong here.
Besides that, you don't need to copy the control file, applying the archives is enough.

Recovery issue macbook pro

Hi all just looking to see if i have covered all the bases with an issue im having.
My macbook pro wont boot I get the grey screen then apple logo then crash and the macbook powers down.
I can hold down the option key select recovery I get the apple logo then then the Mac powers down again.
I can Hold down Command Option R and start internet recovery. The world logo apears and it takes a few minitiues to download then the apple log apears and again power down.
Same when trying to boot from my old snow leapard disk.
I havent got a USB boot disk to try and i dont have another mac to go make one.
So in summary I cant ever seem to get to the disk utilies to check for issues. This sounding like a hardware fault?
Regards and thanks in advance.

I would try first holding down Command R on startup to go straight to the recovery partition. If that doesn't work, try holding down the shift key on startup untill you see the spinning gear, then release. You'll get a loading bar at the bottom and this way to bootup usually can take up to 5 minutes. If you bootup to your desktop, restart your computer right after. If you can't bootup, take it into and apple retail store or service provider
Let me know if these things work at all

Rescue & Recovery issues trying to transfer files

I have an annoying issue. My lappy woke up this morning with the CI.DLL error and I get the error screen saying that this was deleted and I'm unable boot. Tried booting in safe and still did not work. So I went into rescue & recovery to restore and I wanted to transfer some files I had on my hard drive that were not backed up. I have an external hard drive and I've done this before; transferring files before I do a complete restore. I tried it this morning, selected the files I want transferred and then it pulls up a screen that says 0% complete, files could not be transferred??? Any ideas? Would this be caused by the error above? Thanks.

wmarkw, welcome to the forum,
It is unlikely that someone with a solution will browse by in 37 minutes, this is a peer to peer forum. I have moved your post here as your issue is more R&R than hardware related it will hopefully be seen by more members who use R&R.
As a thought, are you able to remove the hard drive and copy the files you need by attaching it to another system?

B570 600GB HDD with bad sectors (Recovery issue)

Hi,
I run into a series issue.
some facts before:
*The 600GB HDD has bad sectors (checked with WD test tool-boot cd)
*The bad sectors are only on the beginning of the physical drive (D partition and LENOVO_PART are intact and fully readable)
*Managed to recover most of the data of C drive (With restorer 2000)
*Managed to clone the D partition and LENOVO_PART to a new 500GB HDD
I can't seems to find a way to use the tiny recovery button, its failing and asking me to boot from cd.
Don't have any of B570 model but I tried to use a recovery cd of T410 to boot. but I can't see any restore partition.
Only cd recovery option.
Any help on how to recover from the cloned recovery partition will be great.
Thanks!

hi get2guy,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
The OneKey Recovery button will only work if the partition structure of the system is not damage. On the new HDD that was cloned with the D-Drive and the OEM Recovery Partition, try to
1. Create a bootable Gparted USB/CD and boot from it
2. On the User Interface, set the OEM Recovery Partition as Active/Boot/Primary
3. Reboot and remove the Gparted USB/CD and see if it boots the recovery partition as shown in this article.
If the above procedure doesn't work, you will need to reinstall the OS using a retail OS or use a lenovo recovery discs (if you were not able to create one using this method then you will need to contact lenovo on how to obtain a copy of the B570 recovery discs).
Hope this helps

HP Pavilion DM3 1039wm Notebook System Recovery Issue

HP Pavilion Dm3 currently running on Windows 7 Home Premium
About a month ago I purchased a recovery dvd from the website and a external usb cd drive.When I recieved the external usb drive in the mail and the disk I realized that I had purchased the wrong one so for days I went searching on the internet looking for an alternative way to put my netbook back to factory setting.I end up findig a solution and installed windows 7 using a downloaded iso file from the internet. After a few days the computer started acting up and so I decided to buy the right external usb dvd and cd drive.Once I got it in the mail I inserted disk 1 and it loaded up the factory image preperation so I started it and for severl hours it stayed on the same percent so I put the other disc in and made sure that my BIOS was set to run the cd drive and when I cut the computer on it says loading files and then a gray screen with constant commands keeps loading and then the computer restarts and it just keeps doing the same thing until the computer just shuts itself off.I have tried changing the BIOS back but that doesnt work either.PLEASE HELP ME

Try Cyberlink Utility cd. Download and Save the file. Once download is complete, put a blank cd in your drive and double click the file to create a boot cd. Boot with this cd and wait until you get a green check mark indicating hdd is ready. Remove the cd , insert first Recovery Disk and restart the laptop.
