Failed factory recovery

I have an ENVY ULTRABOOK -1204sa.
Caught a virus, and could not remove it (used SpyHunter and Malwarebytes).
Decided to factory recover using Microsoft USB stick supplied by HP last year when the hard disk went berserk.
Went through the steps but each time it tries to install it fails.
It formats the disk and transfers the programs and starts to 'set up'. Then reports
The Recovery Attempt Has Failed
Press the Details button you get
CTOERROR.FLG
[20:36:25.08] ChkErrBB.CMD : Detect some error during PININST_BBV.

[20:36:25.08] ChkErrBB.CMD : or, check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootMerge.log
Press the SaveLog button writes
HP_SSRD_LOG.CAB to usb stick
The laptop seems to be stuck in a loop trying to boot from the USB
No matter which function butoons I use all I get is ext at bootm left of screen confirming button pressed but no access.
I have a brick. Considering breaking for spares. But would prefer to get it back. Could put W7 on instead! I have a legitimate copy of W8 and W7 and last but not least XP!
Anyone any suggestions as to ho I can break into this UEFI stuff and make it work for me?
Not adverse to dismantling to remove CMOS battery (if there is one) or pinning out the bios.
Used to be systems manager before the modern stuff came along!

No. removing the RTC (CMOS) battery will not reset the BIOS. That used to work in the past, but not any more.
Try pressing the power button and immediately tapping the Esc key. That may get you to the startup menu where you can use the F11 key to access the recovery manager.
Try a hard reset as follows:
1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
4) Press the power button

T500 - Windows Update no longer works after using factory recovery disks.

I'm running Windows 7 32bit. I needed to restore my T-500 hard drive because of a fatal windows registry error caused by a 3rd party registry cleaner/tuner software... Windows 7 was DOA .
I used the factory recovery disks I created after I first fired up the laptop in April this year, all went well, Windows 7 booted up, and I went through the "Starting Widows for the first time" setup dialog, Windows 7 sucessfully activated... also verfifed it on the Microsoft website.
Went into control panel to have windows update pull down all of the critical updates released after I got my Thinkpad and I got a pop up saying "windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer."
I checked... the windows update service is running, so is BITS. Following suggestions from Microsoft support, I have 1)deleted the softwaredistribution folder from C:\windows, 2) run their "fixit tool", 3) renamed the CatRoot2 folder in C:\windows'system32, all to no avail each time I tried to use windows update after each "fix".
I decided to check here if anyone here has gone down this path before and ask what fixed it?
I'm waiting for Microsoft support to reply to my last email informing them the last instructions to rename the CatRoot2 folder and retry windows update failed. They now have a copy of my windowsupdate.log file sent to them.
How about it... does this situation sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks.

I run into the same problem with fresh installation of W7 Pro on T530 with 1TB samsung disk.
This solution worked for me:
    Running check for updates will trigger this error message:
“Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.”
Solution:
1.    Go to Administrative Tools/Services, and stop the Windows Update service.
2.    Then go to the folder c: /Windows/SoftwareDistribution and delete all of the files and folders.
3.    Then go back to Services and restart the Windows Update service which will recreate all of those folders again.
4.    Then manually run the Update Service and everything should work.

Do I need to create partition on msata before factory/recovery install?

I am trying to use the recovery media to install the factory settings W7 to a newly installed Intel 310.
I have installed the 310, and it is definitely there and recognized by the computer. I have removed my HDD and plugged in a DVD drive. Also on hand are the successfully created recovery media (1 CD + 3 DVDs).
I put in the CD and boot via the DVD drive. The Windows screen comes on and then it goes to R&R. From there, I cannot for the life of me figure how how to start the ball rolling on installing W7 to the msata drive.
The two options presented appear to be to install a previous recovery backup, and none are listed. Or to recover from an image, which then takes me to a screen that does not seem to identify an image no matter which of the four recover discs I put in.
Is there any Lenovo page that shows step by step to re-installing recovery media from disk? I'm not a complete newb so this is frustrating.
My only guess perhaps is that I need to create a partition on msata before starting the factory recovery. Not sure why that would be the case in that the factory recovery probably has utilities built in to do so, but I can't think of anything else.
Thanks for any help.

Tried it again. Didn't work. But it's now clear to me that Lenovo R&R is failing to recognize the recovery disk that it created earlier today. R&R said the recovery media was successfully created, but I guess not.
I will try installing from a Win7 installation disc. Thanks for your help.

Windows Update 80072EE2 after Factory recovery

Hello everyone!
I just did a complete factory recovery on a Lenovo 3000 K100, with Windows Vista Home Premium 32bits.
The recovery was successeful. (I used the Recovery partition that came from the Lenovo)
The device manager has nothing wrong.
But when I try to do a Windows Update, I have the error 80072EE2
Installed Microsoft Security Essentials, and when triyng to update it, the update fail, telling me that the connection timed out. (please note that I was able to download it online)
I can surf on the web, go on different websites, but when I go to Microsoft website, it takes time before the webpage loads sometime!
Some people said that I should remove the UseWUServer (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU) from my registery, but this key is missing in my registery. I cannot find it.
So, tried other fixes suggested in forums, like reset my internet settings (but it's a fresh windows install)
Tried in cmd "net stop wuauserv" and then "start" ... the service is running normally...
In services, Windows Update is on Automatic (Delayed) Running. (I even changed it to Automatic)
I renamed the Hosts file, and flushed the DNS. The Hosts file should be generated automatically after being removed.
There is no Third party Firewall. The only antivirus installed, is Microsoft Security Essentials.
There is no softwares installed after the Factory Recovery.
I tried to ping www.google.com, and there is 25% loss, with a connection timed out, after two responses.
There is a 100% loss when I ping microsoft.com, with a connection timed out.
I tried to disable WIndows FIrewall, but doesn't solve the problem.
I reset Internet explorer settings again... Nothing is solved.
There is no PROXY in the LAN Settings, of Internet explorer...
Uninstalled the Network drivers (in device manager), and reinstalled them... problem not solved...
So, does anyone have an idea? I'm out of solutions...
What's weird is that it's a Fresh Factory recovery, it should be free of issues... ??

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=836941
This might be a dumb question, but did you try to let MS fix it automatically?

Factory recovery disks problem

I failed to create a set of factory recovery disks on my computer. The software said "unable to find files for recovery media".
My Q: has 9.25GB files. It seems all the files are here. But I can't create the disks.
Is there anyone having the same problem?
ThinkPad W520: i7-2920XM, 4GB*2, 500GB(7200RPM), Quadro 2000M, 1920*1080

Interesting...... I was just checking my system and the SYSTEM_DRV partition has no drive letter, but that may be due to the fact that I cloned the system to the SSD many months ago. I'm going to place my original HDD temporarily back into the unit to see about the labeling. I don't recall having any issue with burning the recovery media when the system was new. I'll post back with my findings.
Update: System_DRV has no drive letter either on the original HDD.

Satellite P300-1A8 cannot get factory recovery to work

Hi there,
Been having lot's of problems on this machine. It started with a nearly full C: partition which made Vista invoke a drive compression.
After that the laptop would not boot; after POST there was just a blank screen (no flashing cursor). The tap 'F8' solution from the manual would not work.
With no booting system, i tried using a Vista recovery CD. But this would not even boot, even after setting BIOS to boot from CD first, or even using the F12 boot selection screen.
I had to physically remove the hard drive from the laptop to get the CD to boot. But obviously couldn't do much after that. At this point i'm thinking that the hard drive compress utility had corrupted the boot sector.
So i connected the Hard drive to a desktop PC, Backed up all 3 partitions (1 hidden plus C: 'Vista' and D: which held the HDDRecovery files)
I then tried formatting then drive and reinstating the partitions. This is the point i'm having problems with.
I used Boot-us software to make the first partition hidden which is what it was. Hidden. Plus i left it without assigning a drive letter.
On the second partition i used windows backup to restore the C: drive, this software didn't restore all files by the way it left out important ones such as Winload.exe, which is why i had to do a factory restore.
On the third partition i restored the 'HDDRecovery' folder.
Now after editing the BCD file i was able to enter the Toshiba recovery environment from a bootable CD that i created from the hidden partition.
The problem i am now having is that factory recovery is failing because it can't find the HDDRecovery files, the error it shows up is:- 'The recovery of the operating system is impossible! Could not find HDD Recovery folder on second drive of the first hard disk. There is no valid HDD Recovery environment on this computer.
I assume that by 'second drive' they mean second partition. Because when i did a test with a different partition layout, leaving out the hidden one and having just the C: 'Vista' partition and D: 'HDDRecovery' partition, i managed to get past this error. But was then stopped by a Diskpart check that looked for 3 partitions. I added a third partition to see would that would do and Diskpart completed it's check selected the second partition and erased it!! Note that partition had the HDDRecovery files on it.
I hope i have explained this well enough, apologies for the length of post.
In short i would like to get the factory recovery environment to work given that alterations have been made to the hard drive partitions.

Hi, mate
Unfortunately, I don't think you can recover the factory settings even having Hdd recovery folder. I had the same situation like you. i wanted to install Windows Xp on my A500 and didn't make a recovery disk. So, the factory settings gone and no recovery disk was available. I didn't want to pay money for a recovery disk. I just got windows 7 copy disk, installed it with all drivers and application I need. Then, made a hdd image of my current Os with acronis true image, created a recovery zone and that's all. Now, if I want to restore Os, i just press f11 on startup, enter acronis and it restores from Hdd image. It takes me 10 minutes to wait..

Factory recovery partition on windows 8 in Asus X551CALaptop

I purchased Asus x551CA notebook on 22nd Feb 2014. After about 45 days I formated hard disk partition
on which Activated Windows 8 operating systme was installed.I formatted an repartitioned HDD.
And I installed and uninstalled windows8 and windows 8.1 90 days enterprise evaluation edition. Because of
these link to factory recovery partition is broken.
I have created system image disks which are working to restore system. I forgot how I created these disks. May be
I did control panel>recovery>file history>windows 7 file recovery. So these disks should be System Image Backup.
I think these are not OEM recovery disks. When I insert these disks during reset and refresh I get a message
that "Media you inserted is not valid". And I am able to create system image on second partition of hard disk of
my laptop.I have also got product key of windows 8 by a program jellybean keyfinder.
To restore from discs created by me. I insert a repair disc then I go to UEFI settings. Then I change boot preferences to
boot from DVD. Then I go to Restore form images. Then computer asks me to insert my discs no from 1 to 4. One after the other. Then computer restore to windows 8. It looks alike as it was factory made.
-When I try to create a recovery drive by going to control panel> Recovery >create a recovery drive
Recovery drive dialog box appears but with grayed check box of "copy the recovery partition from PC
to the recovery drive". Please tell me how can it come with not grayed dialog box so that I can copy
recovery partition to USB pen drive? When notebook was new this check box was not grayed and I was able to
copy recovery partition on USB pen drive.
-Since I cannot copy recovery partition to USB therefore I also cannot reset and refresh windows 8 on
the basis of USB. It was working when notebook was new.
-And reset or refresh also not working on the basis of hidden recovery partition. How can it will start
working? It was working when notebook was new.
-I have tried diskpart command do make hidden recovery partition visible. But it becomes invisible
after restart. I used following command
1. Command Prompt Run as administer.
2. diskpart
3. list disk
4. select disk 0
5. list partition
6. select partition 6
7. assign letter z
by these commands hidden recovery partition becomes visible and again when I restart laptop it becomes invisible.
And I am not able to do anything with recovery partition E.G. copy the recovery partition to USB
When I created a system image using the following command I became able to refresh my PC. May be it was refreshing
on the basis of newly created image.
recimg /createimage D:\IMAGE81
recimg /setcurrent D:\IMAGE81
But it is also not working this time and it gives a message "Drive on which windows is installed is locked unlock it".
May because I installe AVG antivirus it locked the drive.
I also used REAgentC command
reagentc /setreimage /path F:\Recovery\WindowsRE\ /target C:\Windows /bootkey 4300
Maybe I executed above command once again I used D: instead of F:
And I was able to refresh PC but I was not able to Reset. And I was not able to copy recovery partition on USB
by going to control panel> Recovery >create a recovery drive.
Recovery drive dialog box appears but with grayed check box of "copy the recovery partition from PC
to the recovery drive".
((I am giving images of computer management in first_image no partition was created it was in factory made state. And
in second_Image I created an extra disk partition which is present on disk this time.)) I cannot give images because
of my account is not varified.
So I am giving output of diskpart command to understand disk partitions.
C:\>diskpart
DISKPART> list disk
Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
Disk 0 Online 465 GB 1024 KB *
DISKPART> list volume

Volume 3 F DOWNLOADS NTFS Partition 128 GB Healthy
Volume 4 SYSTEM FAT32 Partition 100 MB Healthy System
Volume 5 Recovery NTFS Partition 900 MB Healthy Hidden
Volume 6 Restore NTFS Partition 20 GB Healthy Hidden
in the beginnig instead of D: (130 GB) and F:(128 GB) there was only one partition D:(258 GB) 130+128 GB.
Please tell me answers of following quesions:-
1. Tell me how to regain the link to factory recovery drive.
2. Please tell me how can I refresh and reset PC on the basis of Hidden Factory Recovery Partition. And how can I copy Hidden Factory Recovery Partition on USB and DVDs. I have 16GB USB pen drive and a DVD writer. So I can use these two storage media
only and except these I have 500GB HDD on my laptop.
4. I want to know that Factory recovery partition is useful or not. Should I delete it.
3. I have DVDs as I said above. On the basis of these I can reinstall windows 8. When I created these discs windows 8 was present on laptop. Currently windows 8.1 is present on laptop. Please tell me how can I create my own hidden recovery partition for
windows 8. I have upgraded to windows 8.1. So please tell me can I create my own hidden recovey partition for windows 8.1.
5. Can I download contents of factory recovery partition from internet.
6. Should I go to shopkeeper. He repairs computers as well. Probably he will manage for me to get Recovery partition discs. In this case these DVDs may be different from my DVDs as I mentioned above. Maybe only thing I get from these discs that I will
able to reset and refresh computer.
7. Microsoft shoult create a program that can re-establish link to factory recovery partition. And this program should be able to create new hidden recovery partition as well. As I have upgraded to windows 8.1. So I think I should have a new hidden recovery partition
for Windows 8.1. I think I can above thing my other way. If I create new set of DVDs by going to control panel>recovery> file history>System Image Backup. It will create discs for windows 8.1. And I will able to restore system to windows
8.1 by these discs. And for windows 8 I have already discs. But these discs will only work by changing boot options(by choosing UEFI) and image recovery. And reset and refresh functions will not work then in such situation factory recovery partition
will become useless. Then such situation I should delete factory recovery partition as it is useless.
8. At beginnign I also tried AI recovery burner. After trying it for 2-3 days I came to know that AI recovery burner is not for windows 8. There should be a tutorial for these thing so that people like me not waste their time.

I used a software named UNDELETE on my hidden recovery partition to recover it. I get some files by this software. Important thing is that I got a 2.84 GB file named 00eebc9d.rb in dir D:\recovered1\Files Detected by their Signatures\Unknown Application\.rb.
This file may be useful. Please suggest me how can I use these files to reset and refresh my OS. I used some dir commands as follows to get list of these files:
dir /s >f:\list.txt
dir /s /a:s >f:\list2.txt
Some files were system files so these file were not shown by first dir command. So I used second dir command.
Output of dir /s >f:\list.txt
Volume in drive D is DATA
Volume Serial Number is 9A82-D42B

Kindly guide me how can I use my hidden recovery partition to reset and refresh by use of these files.

Can't create a factory recovery disk using the recovery partition that came with my computer

When I push the Q: recovery drive> Create recovery media, I get a message saying
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\factory recovery\recovburncd.exe'. Make sure you types the name correctly, and then try again."
How do I go about fixing this and creating a recovery disk?

You can purchase replacements from AppleCare:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support visit online support site.
However, you might want to consider upgrading to Snow Leopard - $29.00 at any local Apple retailer or the Online Store. This may actually be less costly than purchasing replacement discs, although the replacement discs will have the Apple Hardware Test that is not going to be on the Snow Leopard DVD, nor will any of your pre-bundled software.

Can't install itunes on XP after factory recovery

hi everybody,
This is a bizarre issue that became a problem. on a t500 after a xp factory recovery, update OS, install normal app, office, qbooks, etc.. I download iTunes 8 last version, double click to install and the first weird sign was a message to run but said “unknown publisher “ after click run, nothing happens. It won’t do anything. It won’t log anything on system or app logs. User has admin local priv, I tried install on local comp, safe mode, different local user, domain admin. Nothing. Last thing I tried was download iTunes version 7 and it did install, but I need the 8 because prior library setup.
Does anybody have a clue?? Is driving me crazy.
Thanks a lot.

Welcome to lenovo user forums!
Have you tried the in place upgrade functionality of itunes?Make sure that you select only itunes from the "available updates " list.
Otherwise it will also install safari
Cheers and regards,

Hi
I am working on data base fail over recovery mechanism. I am working on weblogic6.1Sp1 server installed on a unix machine. We are using J2EE architecture in our application. We have used Entity beans for dase base transactions.
My main objective is to allow my applictaion to switch over to secondry data base in case of failure of primary data base.
I have already developed a prototype which is working fine for a client application's request.But i can't use it for entity beans with container managed persistance.
So what i want to ask you is as follows:
Is there a way to switch between data bases for container managed entity beans.If yes then how to implement it?
Thank you
RajeshEasy. Define a multipool to tap a pool to the regular database first, and in cases when that DBMS is down,
tap a second pool to the fallback DBMS. Define a TxDataSource for the multipool, and have the beans
use that DataSource.

After I ran factory recovery manager I ran into Command screen .. Now what?-

after I ran factory recovery manager for my HP Compaq Presario CQ60 220us everything was moving right along and I must have blinked because now I'm looking at this black command prompt screen with a cursor flashing waiting for me type write a command right??? ----- Well what do i write so I can finish this recovery so I can use my new Notebook . Please help me out before wednesday I would be forever in your debt.. Thanx in advance. Jennifer//// The Black Box is Titled --{ -c:\\ -Administrator: x:\windows\system32\cmd.exe}--- Please help me with this problem so I can be done with this recovery and be on my marry way before wednesday. I would be forever in your debt.. Thanx in advance. Jennifer D.

Hello @jdreller69 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your notebook has paused during a system recovery and is displaying a command prompt with a blinking cursor. There is nothing that should be typed in this command prompt as the recovery is nearly fully automated after starting.
Sometimes installers will open command prompt to automatically process commands to copy files to the hard drive, it's not uncommon to see them blinking open and closed during an install or uninstall.
Can you see if there is anything hiding behind the screen that may be waiting for some user input such as a next or confirm button?
If not and the screen has been open for an extended period (over 1 hour) I would suggest shutting down the notebook and attempting to boot it up normally. If the notebook does not boot, re-run the recovery.
Let me know if that works.

After update, several problems (battery, factory recovery, Message icon)

After Froyo update, I found out several problems.
1) Battery.
It drains two times faster than before. My one does. My wife's one is worst (maybe 3-4 times faster and also the phone is hotter than mine).
2) Factory Recovery option
I could not find any factory recovery button from mine and wife's.
3) "Message" icon
My one has no "Message" icon. It has just three icons "Pone/Contacts/Applications" at the bottom of the screen.
But my wife's has all four icons "Phone/Contacts/Message/Applications"
I don't know how to correct these.

It sounds like most of your issues can be found by doing a factory restore on the phone. Settings>privacy>factory data reset. The icons are customizable. Press icon to bring up all icons. Touch and hold on the icon you want on the main screen. You can touch and hold on a blank spot on home screen to add a widget.
As for battery issues, the issue has been escalated to Samsung, and we are working with them to get a resolution as quickly as possible.
Let us know if that helps out!

Can't load Vista from factory recovery disks?

I have an X200 running XP. The X200 was delivered with XP installed and Vista recovery disks. I wanted to see how Vista performed so I decided to load the Vista from the factory recovery disks. There are 3 disks...Disk1 Start Recovery Disk, Disk2 OS System Recovery Disk, and DIisk3 Applications and Drivers Recovery Disk. I have an external Lenovo DVD drive and the BIOS is set to boot from this first.
I placed Disk 1 into the drive and rebooted. The system loaded and the Rescue and Recovery program came up, did it's thing, and asked for Disk 1 to be inseryed. Well, Disk 1 was already inserted but I ejected and re-inserted it - it said this was not the correct disk. So, I figured Disk 2 might be "disk 1" in this context but it didn't like that one either coughing up the same incorrect disk message. So, only disk 3 is left so I tried that too, same results.
OK, what am I doing wrong or might Lenovo have include incorrect disks.
Any help is much appreciated.
thanks

There is a chance that the discs included is not suitable for your model type or the discs itself are bad, call Lenovo and ask for another set.

Missing Dragon - X1 back from lenovo after a full factory recovery

I just got my X1 back from lenovo after a full factory recovery (they had to replace my system board).
As you can see, I have the new X1, and yet Dragon is missing (it is factory pre-load at this stage, all the lenovo preloaded apps included except for Dragon).
Can anybody help me please?
I have seen many other posts resolved but those involved Lenovo staff sending information offline, so the posts do not help at all.
Solved!

Problem factory recovery in Lenovo W700ds (2757)

I'm trying to do the factory recovery on my Lenovo. When I start my computer, I press the "thinkvantage" blue button and pressing F11, but the F11 does not work. A message appears telling me to press F1 and go to Setup. I can not access recovery. When I bought my computer had no windows 7 professional CD accompanying the kit. How can I solve the problem? In the folder "my computer" sometimes appears a second partition, which I believe contains files recovery. I need help. Thank you.

Hi Patoso, welcome to the forums,
other members will correct me if I am wrong, but if my memory serves me rightly the W700 system was discontinued before Windows 7 was released. This means that if your recovery partition were to work it would contain a recovery for Vista Business or Ultimate.
You could of course then update the installed Vista preload to Windows 7 using a Windows 7 license or, if you have a Windows 7 license, do a clean install of it saving you having to worry about getting the Vista recovery working??
