Help needed restoring factory state on X220!

Hi there,
I just bought a 2nd hand X220. The seller advertised it as having its recovery partition intact (when I remove the battery there is a license/COA sticker for Windows 7 Pro), unfortunately the previous owner installed a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate on it (which I believe might actually be a non-genuine copy).
However, I can see the Lenovo_Recovery drive in Windows Explorer, it shows up as drive E: and has the following files (all hidden): LenovoQDrive application along with the FactoryRecovery partition containing bcdinfo.txt, cdrivebackup.wim, RECOVERY.INI and sdrivebackup.wim.
Previously when I pressed the ThinkVantage button on startup, it would show me the menu to go to BIOS setup (F1) or choose different boot device (F12), but no F11 option.
I read about the Recovery Repair Diskette, but also found a page saying that this doesn't apply to Windows 7 machines anymore, and that I should just install the latest Lenovo Rescue and Recovery. So I have now downloaded and installed Lenovo Rescue and Recovery 4.50, but now when I press the ThinkVantage button or F11 upon boot-up, it briefly says something like "launching recovery application..." but then proceeds to boot into WIndows 7...
Can someone please help me restore the factory state?
Many thanks in advance!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, after 2 full days, I finally got it all sorted out, but what a way to spend your christmas holidays!! :-)
Basically I followed the instructions from phil5 in this thread, particularly messages 3 and 6.
So here's what I did:
Recreated the Q: partition: copied contents of the Lenovo_Recovery partition to temporary storage.
Reformatted entire hard disk.
Recreated Q: partition using GParted by placing an NTFS partition, roughly 10GB, at the end of the disk.
Copied all the Lenovo_Recovery files back there.
Created WinPE USB disk with Imagex using Win AIK (thanks to phil5's post mentioned above).
Booted using this disk, manually restored S: and C: partitions, again according to instructions in phil5's post.
This resulted in a working factory state. However, when I tried to restore to a factory state from this condition, it resulted in a problem on bootup (corrupt winload.exe(?)). This is likely due to the fact that my recreated Q: drive didn't have the various files required for booting (bootmgr and whatnot). I fixed the situation by repeating the last steps from phil5's post: fixboot, fixmbr.
From this state, now I *created* recovery media to USB! Unfortunately it wouldn't fit onto my 8GB USB key (initially), so...
I create the recovery media to a 500GB USB hard disk.
Used GParted to resize the partition down to smallest possible size (+/- 8GB).
Used Clonezilla to save the disk image.
Used Clonezilla to restore the disk image to the 8GB USB key (which I was initially informed wouldn't fit, but turns out it does!)
End result, I am in possession of a shiny 8GB USB key with a working set of recovery media. Phew!
Thanks all, and hope this might help someone in the future.

    Hey salosawaya,
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes and you forgot your passcode, you'll follow these directions:
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • T42 Restore Factory State problem

    Hello fellow thinkpad-ers,
    I am trying to help out a friend, who had her laptop formatted by some idiot, that
    didnʼt know about Thinkpads Restore Factory State option. It seems that he
    formatted it, and installed some pirated copy of XP...
    In Disk Manager, I can still see the hidden partition, but when booting the machine,
    and pressing the blue button I cant access the utility.
    It gives me a list of 3 options:
    -ESC
    -F1 for bios utility
    -F12 to select boot device
    I also have a T42, but it’s a different model. I once tried my disks
    on a T41 that I was trying to revive, and they didn’t work...
    and was later told by IBM that each machine has unique disks.
    I am assuming that the guy that did the "damage" formatted only
    C:/ and then installed the pirated XP there, since I can still see the
    hidden partition in the Disk Manager... So this makes me think
    that the Blue Button menu resides on the C:/ part of the disk.
    How could I copy just that, off of a different T42?
    Anyone have any idea how to get around ordering the recovery CDs from IBM?
    Thanks!

    Whoever told you this was mistaken.  With the exception of hardware changes (eg modem from T41 to T42) the disks within a series should work just fine (I've just recovered aT41 with my T42 CDs).  The only difference in using early T42 recovery with a later T42 is the fingerprint reader.  Later T42 disks should work just fine with an early T42.  Go ahead and use your T42 disks on her machine.

  • Help needed with if statement in a method

    Hi I�ve created 2 string arrays. One holds a one digit user id no. and the other holds a 4 digit pin number. I�ve then written a method which should take the userId no that has been sent to the method in the UserCode parameter find the same number in the custid array if it does it should then check the same position of the pin array and check that the pin number matches the pin no. the method has received in PINCode parameter.
    At the moment my method receives the parameters checks the userId no. but doesn�t move on and check the PIN array.
    Any help would be great as I�ve been staring at this for days now and I can�t see the wood from the trees!
    public boolean checkPinAndUserId(String pinCode, String userCode)
              boolean found = false;
              for (int i = 0; i < userId.length; i++)
                   if (userCode.equals(userId))
                        if (pinCode.equals(pin[i]))
                                  found = true;
                        return found;

    I've posted my code in full so hopefully everyone can see exactly what I have been doing.
    Note - my code uses the observer/observable model. The method I am having the problem with the if statement is in the class HSBC as are the string arrays. in the class ATM in the action performed PINInput button events section, when the pin count reaches 4 it sends the parameters over to the HSBC checkpin&userid method.
    I've used the System.out.println() statements to see what's going on and it receives the parameters checkes the userid array but does not move on to check that the pin parameter matches the pin array?
    Any help would be great - Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    After WHERE .......... is indicates an OUTER Join condition.
    In this type of join, system retrieves the data for matched and
    as well as unmatched.
    Example:
    EMP table have a column DEPTNO with the data 10, 20, 30 (total rows=14)
    DEPT table have a column DEPTNO with the data 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 (total rows=5)
    If the WHERE clause contained EMP.DEPTNO(+) = DEPT.DEPTNO
    then the output contain the data relative to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 (total rows = 16)
    i.e. 14 rows (with matching data) and 2 rows (with unmatching data)

  • Help needed in MERGE statement

    Hi,
    I am new to PL/SQL, I want to update a table called "final_test" based on the below query result.
    1. I want to check whether that particular record is present or not in my "final_test" table.
    2. If its present in the "final_test" table and the process_status got changed then I want to update that alone in my "final_test" table.
    3. If its not present then I want to insert that record into my "final_test" table.
    Basically I am retrieving the report and its status for a particular date.
    select
    b.id,
    a.name,
    a.t_name,
    c.process_status,
    c.time_process
    from rep_tab_map a, j_tab_map b, proc_status c
    where a.t_name=b.t_name
    and b.id=c.id (+)
    and trunc(c.date_start)=trunc(sysdate -1)
    group by a.name,b.id,c.process_status,c.time_process,a.t_name
    order by 2
    I thought of using Merge statement but i am not sure what i have to use in ":USING" and "ON" clause.
    Please help me with MERGE or with someother way.
    Thanks

    Assuming final_test has same structure as select list in your query:
    merge
      into final_test a
      using (
             select  b.id,
                     a.name,
                     a.t_name,
                     c.process_status,
                     c.time_process
               from  rep_tab_map a,
                     j_tab_map b,
                     proc_status c
               where a.t_name=b.t_name
                 and b.id=c.id(+)
                 and trunc(c.date_start)=trunc(sysdate -1)
               group by a.name,b.id,c.process_status,c.time_process,a.t_name
            ) b
      on (b.id = a.id)
      when matched then update set a.name = case a.process_status
                                              when b.process_status then a.name
                                              else b.name
                                            end,
                                   a.t_name = case a.process_status
                                                when b.process_status then a.t_name
                                                else b.t_name
                                              end,
                                   a.process_status = b.process_status,
                                   a.time_process = case a.process_status
                                                      when b.process_status then a.time_process
                                                      else b.time_process
                                                    end
      when not matched then insert(
                                   a.id,
                                   a.name,
                                   a.t_name,
                                   a.process_status,

  • Help needed on Merge statement

    Hi,
    I want to merge a record which has a LONG field to a table with LOB field.
    Am getting error "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got LONG" at "to_lob(col2) " in the query. Please help in resolving this.
    Thanks
    RK
    MERGE INTO message_STG d
    USING (SELECT col1,to_lob(col2) col2
         FROM message jm
         WHERE modificationdate >= <some_date_value> ) f
    ON (d.MESSAGEID= f.MESSAGEID)
    WHEN matched THEN
    UPDATE SET
    col1=f.col1,
    col2=f.col2
    WHEN NOT matched THEN
    INSERT VALUES (f.col1,f.col2);

    Am getting error "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got LONG" at "to_lob(col2) "If you read the documentation you will discover that to_lob() only works in an insert statement.
    What you will have is create a holding table with a CLOB column and insert all your MESSAGE records into it, doing the TO_LOB() there. Then you can drive your MERGE statement from that holding table.
    Is this a one-off data migration exercise or something you'll have to do regularly?

  • Help needed restoring new ipod

    Ive just bought a new 8gb ipod touch as 2 days ago mine died on me. It contracted the infamous white screen of death. I tried restoring it but still couldnt get it working. So before the resore it backed up my first ipod automatically which i thought was great. Ive just pluged in my new itouch and restored it with the backed up files from my first itouch. Problem is its not restored my music, apps and emails. Its restored my photos and notes but not the most important stuff like my music and apps. Can anyone help ??? Would be much appreciated

    I wish that I can tell you different but I cannot. You can transfer your music from iTunes to your iPods but not vice versa without third party software. You are in a tough situation because even if you get the countless available third party software then you still cannot get the music out of your old iPod because it is dead...........
    I am not sure what else you can do to retrieve your music other than somehow revive your old iPod and hope that the data is intact...

  • HT201210 Help needed Restore on Itouch 4th gen - resulted in Itouch no longer being able to turn on.

    My son tried to restore a 4th generation Itouch to wipe it clean.  Received error stating Unknown error occurred (1601).  He is no  longer able to turn the Itouch on or do anything with it.  Tried restoring again and received same message and Itouch never turned on.  Any suggestions?

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
