Error 25014 when trying to install Lenovo Thinkvantage Rescue and Recovery! Please help!

Hi there! I recently restored my laptop with a general copy of Windows 7 pro 64 bit. I had to redo all the drivers and software (of course). I had installed Rescue and Recovery before but had never used it. I tried to reinstall it today and it kicks back every time with the same error message (error 25014 code=6)! I had installed linux but deleted it and installed Windows again. I also have a 21gb partition not even being used ( i have no clue how to combine them). Any advice as to how to get it working will be appreciated! Thanks for your help in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Error 25014 rc=6 is error installing the RNR boot manager. 
Provide some information:
(1)Did your machine ship from Lenovo, with Lenovo factory system? If so what operating system was installed? vista, windows 7 home, pro etc? This would install with 3 partitions: system_drv, Lenovo recovery, (C). 
(2)you state: I recently restored my laptop with a general copy of Windows 7 pro 64 bit
Does this mean you DID not do a Lenovo factory restore, but actually installed a retail version of win7 pro?
I will assume win7 pro retail for now.
(3)you state: I had installed Rescue and Recovery before but had never used it. 
Was this in the past, lets say, on a factory shipped Lenovo system?
(4)you state: had installed linux but deleted it and installed Windows again. I also have a 21gb partition not even being used 
===
It appears to me, your HDD had a system on it.  I see Ubuntu mentioned in your other posts. Your HDD had multiple parttions on it, including  the 21GB partition. Then you decided to install a retail version of windows 7 pro.
During a install of retail windows, you have to pay close attention as to where it will install.
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-windows-7-a.html
Note steps 7 and 8.
It appears you did the windows install ON TOP of existing HDD, with preexisting partitions.
===
Rc=6
The simple answer is RNR is already installed.  Did you uninstall RNR before the install?
The complex answer:
When RNR install went to add its entries to boot manager,BCD (boot control data), it did NOT like the contents of the BCD, ie other entries parked in the BCD,ie, Linux. It expects to have 2 BCD slots used, windows and windows RE.
===
Give this some thought. See if it matches your situation.
==
I would erase the HDD via a standalone utility, then install win 7 pro retail, and all issues should clear up. 
This Erase/delete can be done during windows install.  see steps 7 and 8 above.

  • I am getting ERROR -50 when trying to export my 3 minute video. PLEASE HELP!  I have 11G on hard drive, but comp seems to run slow on start up.... can I export or copy it in some other fashion?  Desperately need help.  THANK YOU!

    Oops, Looks like I said most of what I wanted to in my title. Sorry ppl, my first time here.
    So, my vid won't export.  And I need it soon.  I'm kind of in a panic.  First time I've had this problem.  The music from iTunes also aliases at times, but I can get it to play without that problem on occasion.  (What causes that?  That does happen with frequency, but then goes away at times.)
    BUT, is there ANY WAY TO EXPORT or move a copy of the video somewhere else?  (How, if so?) 
    And what does ERROR -50 mean?
    Also, please know I am fairly computer illiterate, so if one could speak in the simplest terms possible, I would really dig that.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

    Hi
    This is an easy Q: to set - but there is no simple and plain answer only a lot of more or less plausibly suggestions.
    Error -50 = paramErr  Error in user parameter list
    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ?
    If so it Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk 11Gb is on the limit to work when You select Export and might be it.
    Video used - there are several video formats/codecs and iMovie can not use all of them, they evolve to fast.
    • So try to find out by opening a raw video in QuickTime-player and then open Inspector (cmd+I) and read
    Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnn
    What does it read ?
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    I convert all audio to .aiff - in iTunes I burn out as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3) and use the files on this in my movie projects.
    Some times it's needed to trash the "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file in You USER-Library/Preferences (not Library on Root level (when opening Macintosh HD) - but the one in Your home folder.
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

  • Error Messages when trying to install, uninstall or run iTunes 9

    I get the following error message when trying to Install iTunes:
    The path C:\DOCUME~1\Frank\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP206.TMP\iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
    I search my entire computer for the file but it's not there.
    Then, when I try to uninstall the iTunes and start the install from scratch I get another error:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
    Catch-22, I can't install or uninstall and when I try to run iTunes I get:
    "The action is only valid for products that are installed"
    Very frustrating but I'm stumped and I don't know how to proceed. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    wooooooooo!!! got it working again!! having spent the last 6 hours..no joke six f*cking hours trying to sort it ive finally got iTunes back!!
    ok here is what you need to do:
    go to the link below and download the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Facility.
    http://www.locksleynet.com/2009/06/09/missing-itunesmsi-problem-resolved/
    once you have downloaded it, install it and run it from the start menu. once its up and running remove everything to do with iTunes (so iTunes itself, quicktime, bonjour......the lot). Dont worry about removing iTunes completely, all the music is still there when it works again trust me!!
    ok once you have removed everything restart your computer, im not sure if this is a must but i did it.
    next download quicktime from the apple website (go to the 'downloads' tab near the top. download and install quicktime and restart your computer so the new settings are put in to place ( i think it asks you to restart anyway).
    go back to the apple website, 'downloads' tab and download iTunes itself. install that bad boy and you will be up and running with all your library intact!
    Hope it works for you mate!

  • Error message when trying to install Flash 10.0.45.2

    I am running IE 7 on windows XP. We had some issues with Flash active active control version 10.1.53.64 and higher so I unistalled 10.1.53.64 and downloaded the older version (10.0.45.2) from the adobe website but when I try to install it I get the following error "The version of Adobe Flash Player that are trying to install is not the most current version. Please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer to obtain the latest more secure version". I am however able to install version 9.0.289.0
    Is there any particular reason that i cannot install 10.0.
    The reason that I don't want to use 10.1 is because it has a bug that affects the working of my application and the audio some times does not play.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the information. I downloaded the Active X from the link you provided but I am still getting the same error message

    If I remember correctly, there were two different installers for 10.0.45.2: one that did the checking for a newer version, and one that did not.
    The forum search is currently disabled, and I cannot find the topics that were discussed at the time.
    However, I still have the installers for the non-check version available for download on my servers:

    I recieve the following error message when trying to install Quicktime for Windows "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."  I just trying to get the latest version of iTunes.  Thanks

    "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
