How to create Rescue and Recovery disc for Windows Vista Home Basic with G530 Lenovo Laptop?

Hi All,
I have purchased G530 Lenovo laptop 2 weeks back.
I coudn't find installation/recovery discs in my laptop box.
I went across the forums and came to know that it is not available now-a-days as it was coming previously.
So, anybody can help me, how to create a recovery disc?
This is needed when I format my laptop.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Umesh.

Click on what used to be the "Start" button and search for "create" or "recovery". It took me a while to find it but it is there.
Use a cd for the first disc and 2 DVD's for the other discs.

  • How to create rescue and recovery partition for my thinkpad edge 11

    Hi,
    I'm using thinkpad edge 11 with win 7 home Premium 32 bit.
    Before, i tried to restore to factory setting, there is a drive partition of rescue and recovery in my thinkpad.
    But, when I was trying to restore to factory setting, I missed the steps and made the drive partition of rescue and recovery formatted.
    So, now, I don't have it again in my thinkpad.
    Then, after that, appeared another drive partition  in my thinkpad with name S: Sytem, beside C: WIndow7 and D: Data.
    So, I need the solution from you all as knowing more about thinkpad edge in this forum.
    1. How I remove the unkwon drive, S: System from my thinkpad?
    2. How I can create again the rescue and recovery partition on my thinkpad(wih Win 7 Home premium 32bit installer inside plus all the drivers)?
    Thanks...

    Hello mate,
    To restore the Q: partition you have to use the Lenovo Recovery Discs. Hope you burn them before erasing the partition, otherwise you have to order them from Lenovo.
    Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.

  • Creating Rescue and Recovery Disks for Vista

    Started to create a set of Rescue Recovery Disks, the Start Recovery Disk created OK, but when I inserted the 1st Disk of the recovery set, the program stalled for over 1 hour no activity, cancelled the operation using the Vista Task Manager Ctrl-Alt-Del.
    Now when I try and rerun Rescue and Recovery, it states I have already run the procedure, which is not so.  How can i now run the Rescue & Recovery Media Program

    You can't. Assuming your machine is on warranty Lenovo support should ship recovery disks to you without charge,

  • Product Name: HP Pavilion g6-2006tx Notebook PC... Require a recovery disk for Windows 7 Home Basic

    Sir,
    The recovery disk that was prepared for my Laptop has been corrupted and is not functioning. The laptop shows an error message as 'BOOTMGR.EXE is missing'. Whenever I use the disk, it starts off well but it stops after 13% of the installation is done. There is no recovery partition in my laptop as it was deleted after the recovery disk was burned.
    All this started when I wished to format my Laptop and reinstall the operating system.
    I donot wish to install any operating system other than my original supported WINDOWS 7 HOME BASIC. So, if you could send me a recovery disk of the same, it will be very helpful. Any other details required shall be provided.
    Your hasty attitude in this matter would be highly appreciated.
    Regards

    This is the procedure for recovery disc's.

    This is where you look to see if there is the option to order recovery disc's for your laptop.

    NOTE: If you cannot find an "Order Recovery Media" section, select another operating system from the drop down list until you find a "Order Recovery Media" section or you determine that a Recovery Media section does not exist in any of the operating system selections. If you cannot find a Recovery Media section for your computer model, HP does not have a recovery kit available.

  • Windows Vista Home basic drivers for internet

    How do I get drivers for Windows Vista Home basic edition to work with Windows vista on my mac. Can't connect to internet on vista.

    Hi,
    for the obvious:
    After the Vista installation, did you install the Apple drivers from the OSX Leopard Installation DVD ?
    If not, boot into Vista and insert the OSX Installation DVD that came with your iMac.
    The Driver Setup usually starts automatically.
    All drivers needed are on that DVD.

  • Create Recovery Disc For Windows 7

    Hi,
    I have HP Pavillion p6310y desktop with Windows 7 (not sure 32 or 64 or whatever)
    My computer got virus infection. These virus are located in very low level of hard drive. Also there are other virus. Virus supporters want to remove these virus, but they are afraid my computer may be unoperable due to virus location level. They ask me to get rescue or recovery disc for the computer
    Now I searched to create rescue disc via link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01867124&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc​... , but I couldn't find "recovery manager". I do see recovery via control panel, but couldn't find a way to bring a image like link shown. 
    Anyone can help me to create the recovery or rescue disc for the hp?
    Thanks.

    OK... time to kill two stones with one bird...
    Q: How I know my computer is window 7 32-bit or 64-bit?
    A: I previously posted this "Windows 7 64b A1NAv6PrA1 + Supp 7 Recovery Kit" which states 64bit. Additionally, here is a link to your computer's specs... click on the "+" under "Software" at the bottom of the page.
    Q: If virus is located in lower level of hard drive or computer, then try to remove them, it is likely to damage the computer and hard drive?
    A: A virus, almost any virus is incapable of causing physical damage to your computer. The only damage they cause is to your data, installed programs, OS, and maybe your wallet. All it takes to remove most viruses is to format the drive.

  • Factory rescue and recovery disc usage

    I figured I'd ask here before I get very, very angry.
    My ThinkPad SL400 has experienced a massive failure.  I was able to rescue my documents, etc., but the boot software was corrupted and I needed to do a complete system restore.  I didn't have viable rescue and recovery discs and so paid $45 plus shipping to order a set of them from Lenovo.  They came with instructions, which I have followed.
    Step 9 of their instructions states:
    "When all of the data has been copied from the last disc in the set, a message is displayed prompting you to restart the computer.  Remove the disc and then click Yes.
    Note: The remainder of the recovery process is fuly automated and no action is required by you.  the computer will restart into the Windows desktop several times and you might experience periods when no activity is apparent on the screen for several minutes at a time.  This is normal."
    Unfortunately, that's not what happened.  When I rebooted the machine I got a message stating:
    8206 - Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key.
    I've restarted the machine several times with no different answer.  I tried booting from the first two Rescue and Recovery discs they sent and neither worked to complete the boot process.  I tried changing the boot device to the hard drive and it didn't work.  I called Lenovo Technical Support and they told me that, even though I had JUST PURCHASED the discs, they would not answer my questions about how to use them.
    I am feeling very much like I just poured $50+ down a rathole with a company that won't stand behind its products.
    Hopefully you guys can give me some suggestions before I call my credit card company and ask them to remove the charge as a fraudulent purchase.

    So i guess you selected the optical drive to be the first one to boot in the boot up list?

  • Cant restore from rescue and recovery discs

    Hi Guys
    I bought a set of Windows 7 64bit Lenovo Rescue and Recovery Discs approx. 18 months ago so I could "restore" my X201 if and when the hard disk died, well the day has come and the discs dont work !!!
    I have attempted to "restore" to the new hard disk 3 times and this is now starting to become a joke.
    I boot the 1st disk, then I'm asked to insert the 2nd and then 3rd disks, I dont have a 4th disk but the process asks me for one. I believe that this is all working as it takes a number of hours and the drive lights is flickering except when I'm being asked to insert the next disc.
    After the final re-boot. following the "Setting up drivers - 100%" on the screen I get a message box that says "Setup cant configure windows for your configuration", this is after I have had the "Starting Windows 7" booting on the screen.
    Has anyone had any experience with Win 7 64bit R & R discs for a X201 ???
    TIA

    I assume your issue is laptop boot mode related.
    In order to restore from Lenovo Recovery discs set laptop should be in legacy boot mode. Check out this option in BIOS setup. Unfortunately you'll can't change boot mode later. But this mode just speeds up a boot process only 2-3 secs.
    Boot and installation processes don't inform the customer about error boot mode related.
    Check out the 1st disc. If it consists a folder like BOOT and files like BOOTMGR and WINRE.WIM (all of them are for boot process) and folder like FACTORYRECOVERY - it's OK and your 1st data disk is bootable too.
    If you had partition like Lenovo_Recovery (Q: usually) on your x201 with factory images you could make Factory_Recovery Discs set yourself w/o purchasing it from Lenovo.

  • How to download Rescue and Recovery

    I've a K330B with Win7, 64bit. Since the stock Rescue and Recovery does not allow to back-up the 25GB of the service partition, I tried using the Rescue and Recovery for an Ideapad instead. It messed things up for me. So I went back to the system restore point, prior to installing the version for the ideapad.
    Now my Rescue and Recovery won't work. It crashes each time I try to run it. I need to re-install it. I can not find the Rescue and Recovery software for a K330B Desktop with Win7 Home Premium, 64bit, anywhere on the Lenovo support site.
    Please help.

    Hi, divasthapa
    When you press Enter at the Lenovo screen, what are the options that appear on the menu? There should be one for BIOS, one to resume normal setup, etc. But there should also be something about recovering your system or something along those lines.
    Thanks in advance,
    Adam

  • Boot into Rescue and Recovery but not Windows

    Everytime my pc is powered on or restarted, it boots into Rescue and Recovery, but not Windows.
    What can I do?

    Hi,
    first I would like to explain one thing, so that we are on the same page with the RnR partition.
    Vista and XP are using different RnR partitions and the location of these aprtitions is placed on the HDD is different way, so that it can be used in conjuction with your Operating system.
    So in the time, where you have used the XP and OS, the RnR partition was placed in the partition table on the end/back. DIrectly after you upgraded to the Vista and did not made any changes to the RnR partition, than it is still on the end/back, which is not the corect way. Becase the Vista should use the RnR partition, that should be placed on the begind/start/in the front of all the other partitions.
    So in case there was no change made to the RnR partition, like relocation, or reinstall using the Vista RnR version, then you will not be able to boot into it.
    So here is what I would advice you to do:
    - reinstall, or download and install the Vista version of RnR (the latest version) => this will rewrite the partition table and in case of need it will create the RnR partition.
    - use bmgr32.exe , which is located on your HDD by default to rewrite the partition table. Please start it from command line in follwing way:
    bmgr32.exe /phil
    ==> this will bring you all the command line options and you can use it based on this.
    NOTE:
    Plase note, that once you captured some backups using the XP version of RnR , or a different version of RnR, then it's not possible to restor the backups using a different version.
    Simple: you must use the exact same version of RnR for backup and also for the  restore process.
    Let me know, if you have any more informations to this situation.
    Cheers

  • Bitlocker & ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery on 64 Windows 7 Enterprise

    Hi
    I am attempting to setup ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 on a X300 ThinkPad with 64bit Windows 7 Enetrprise and BitLocker enabled. A installed ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 after turning on BitLocker, as stated in considerations in ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 readme file. When I press the blue ThinkVantage button and then F11, it starts ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4, but shortly after splash screen with life-belt appears the notebook restarts and BitLocker requires keyfile to continue. When I give it the key file it boots nomally. However if I restart and attempt to enter ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 again - the same story repeats, so I'm unable to use ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4. Then I disabled BitLocker encryption on boot drive, and ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 started to work normally, without touching anythnig else.
    So, finally are Bitlocker & ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 compatible on 64 Windows 7 Enterprise? Any one having success with this combination?
    Thanks, George

    Its a known bug already reported by many thinkpad users running 64bit versions of Win7,Microsoft might issue a fix.If you want to report it to them

    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
