Try to find the the program RRmedia.exe with windows search.
Click it to start and create your media. You´ll need more than 6 CD´s or 2 or 3 DVD´s.
In my system (XP) you´ll find  RRmedia.exe in: "C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\spi\RRMedia.exe"

  • Lenovo T61p - Product recovery disc creation fails

    Hi,
    I tried creating a set of product recovery disc, the process started decently to extract the information/files. Then the process abruptly stops and gives a msg saying "The process has encountered an internal error."
    Pls Help.
    Rgds,
    Sumit

    As  lead_org  says, call Lenovo and explain the problem you have encountered, especially the error message, "The process has encountered an internal error." If they don't offer to send you free recovery media, politely explain to them that it's not your fault that you can't make the media on your own. If you're firm and persistent (call back later and try another agent) they will relent

  • Use Product Recovery Disc on different Thinkpad for virus recovery?

    Hi,
    Three days of struggling to clean an infected Thinkpad so I am ready for drastic action.
    Wife's  T60 2007-43U rendered useless by ramnit virus. Long story, but reformat seems like only solution.
    Have T60 2008-SAA with as-built installation, and expect I can make  Product Recovery discs for that machine.
    Also have T60P 2007-8JU working fine, but with no recovery partition or great Thinkpad utilities,Sonic or WinDVD as reformat by previous owner deleted them. All three computers have XP Pro with SP-3.
    Questions:
    1. Can self-made Product Recovery Disc from one Thinkpad be used to reinstall factory load on these others?
    2. If so, should doing that completely clean the disk of existing virus and leave it in "new" condition?
    3. Understand 6 CD's make up the factory set of Recovery Discs. The  as built load is about 10GB! Is there a list somewhere of what all is included in the Recovery?  Before I start making these discs, should I expect a total of 6, more, or fewer?
    Thanks!

    Returning to give you feedback on the success of this recovery. The T60 went from being a doorstop to fully functional!
    Thanks again to ajkula and TuuS for their suggestions. Helped me through a harrowing experience.
    I made a full set of Product Recovery Discs, 6 cd's, but did not use them as it would have restored I assume to Windows XP or XP SP2 as originally shipped. The source computer had been upgraded to XP SP3 and was up to date on all Windows Patches. I decided to give it a try with Rescue and Recovery to take advantage of those upgrades. I made a full set of R & R discs and with nothing on the computer other than the original load and Firefox, it took 10 cd's.
    On the target computer, the one with the virus damage, I set the bios to start from the CD drive, then, as ajkula suggested, and many other anti-virus sources endorsed, I wiped the disk, and I used dBan for that. Worked well in "short DoD mode" and took about 3 hours on a 60 gb drive. I had never tried that before.
    I loaded the R & R start-up disc and from there on all I had to do was insert the next disc when instructed. This took several hours because I was not always paying attention when it called for the next disc. The only  confusion was after the start-up disc ran and formated the drive, on the next disc, it warned that it was going to format the drive. I don't know if it did it twice or if the message is just poor communication. It went through to the end, and the result is the previously virus ridden computer is now 'identical" to the source. The hardware is similar but not totally identical . As TuuS suggested, the drivers must have been there as I did not have to add any drivers during this operation or since.

  • How to use the rescue and recovery, and the product recovery discs ?

    Hi everyone,
    I've just recently became a new owner of a T61, and really enjoying it. I haven't had a chance yet to test-drive the lenovo phone support, as I have not yet screwed anything up that bad that required their help. I did try a clean factory reinstall from the service partition and it worked great. I would like to find out, how does one use the rescue and recovery startup disc, and the product recovery discs that I created myself? From my previous experience with Dell and HP, I only had to insert the first one and restart the computer, and the rest followed. But with ThinkPads, if I ever wanted to bring it to a clean factory state using those discs, do I use rescue and recovery first, followed by the product recovery? I'm curious, what is the difference between the two?

    Hi! I'm blake
    There is no diff between the two... One is on  the Hard Drive and the other on CD/DVD.
    Having the HDD version (pre-installed) is a good for trouble shooting.  It uses a whole diff O/S on a whole diff partition (not C.
    So if you are having problems and boot to RnR (via F11), and those problems go away. you know your issue is software related. If you still have the same problems probly Hardware related...  IT IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO TAKE WINDOWS OUT OF THE PROBLEM.
    Other then that. You can re-image another HDD from disks, you can't do that with the F11 version.
    dose all that make sense?
    Hi blake_ibm,
    Thanks. All this makes perfect sense to me, but that's not what I'm asking for. My question is this: if I wanted to bring my notebook to its factory shipped condition using my recovery cd's, how do I do that? Do I insert cd1 first and then restart the notebook, or do I just insert it without restarting it, or perhaps I should use first the rescue and recovery?
    You said that there is no difference between the two, but what two are you talking about man? I am not comparing cd recovery to partition recovery. I am talking about rescue and recovery cd, with system recovery cd's. These are the two things that I'm talking about.
    I'm really grateful for all replies, but please people, read the question first !!!
    I would really appreciate if someone could explain the steps involved in performing a clean factory recovery, using the cd's, and not the recovery partition. I just want to know for the future, in case one day I have to do it. That is all I'm asking.

  • S12 Nano Product Recovery Discs (XP) and Warranty Upgrade (US)

    I ordered an S12 system on the basis of its weight, marginally acceptable keyboard, and a 16:10 screen, more specifically, 800 pixels height, and XP.   Out of the box, all looks good other than some quirky behavior of the numlock setting and the cheap "Veriface" software blocking the normal XP logon box.  It isn't the fastest box in town, but compared to the other netbook options 95% of which force Windows 7 starter when coupled with the larger screen, it can't be beat.
    But I've hit a dead end, trying to order a product recovery disc set - they exist for the S10 series, but seemingly not for the S12.  Is there a secret place to order them?
    We're expecting this unit to survive through the remaining 3.3 years of high school.
    But Lenovo doesn't seem to offer any extended warranty in the US.  Are they telling me I'm SOL after a year?

  • I have an HP Pavilion g6 laptop, and am trying to set up my recovery discs. I get an error message

    I have an HP Pavilion g6 laptop, and am trying to set up my recovery discs.  I get an error message that states "inserted media not supported".  I am using CD-R Music discs.  Is the problem "Music" ?  Will it not recognize a blank music disc?

    Hi,
    Yes, it is the discs that are the problem - you will need to use good quality DVD+R or DVD-R discs.  See the section under the sub-heading 'Create a set of operating system Recovery Discs' on the link below.

  • X301 - Problem creating Product Recovery Disc

    Hello,
    I recently purchased an X301 laptop and have been trying to create a product recovery disc but to no avail.
    Shortly after I begin the process, I get a message saying "Drive is not ready or is busy performing another operation."
    Can anyone please suggest what might be the problem?
    The DVD burner is a Mat**bleep**a dvd-ram UJ-844 and I am using a SONY DVD+R DL disc.
    Thanks.

    machdeuce, welcome to the forum,
    which OS do you have installed?
    I have noticed that, using Vista, that the Vista "autoplay" function interferes with creating recovery discs. It sort of "takes over the drive". When required, insert the blank disc and click on the OK button before the Vista " autoplay has a chance to run. The autoplay dialogue field will come up and show the usual; copy files to disc etc., but you can then just close it without worry as the R&R has already received it's "orders" and will continue without problems.
    Hope this helps

  • How to make the setting to synchonizet configuration from R/3 to CRM

    Dear Sir,
    Please kindly advise when we change some configuration in R/3 such as Region, transport zone.etc,How to make it automatically to update in CRM. Because now when change the setting in R/3, we must to change in CRM again.
    Please kindly advise.
    Thank you and best regards,
    Vimol

    hi Vimol,
    1. To synchronise delta download from ECC to CRM, you need to make entries in the transaction code R3AC4 in CRM. You need to mention the object class like BUPA and register the business transaction events for every class.
    2. In ECC, maintain table CRMRFCPAR in tcode sm30 so that the RFC in it points to your CRM client.
    Please award points if this helps resolve your issue.

  • Help: Lenovo N500 will not start, product recovery disc won't run

    Hi. I am a bit of a laptop dunce so excuse me. My Lenovo N500 has been shutting itself down and not always restarting and the last time I tried a reinstall through the on board system but after a day and a half it was stuck and not changing so I turned it off. Clearly a mistake.
    Now when I try to turn it on I get a black screen
    File:\Boot\NCR
    Status 0xc000000f
    Info An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data
    It says to insert Windows installation disc and restart but that just circles back to same screen. I have tried the 2 supplied disks. One called "product recovery CD for lenovo N500 Type 4233" (which is the right one I think) and one called "Rescue and recovery disc for use with Microsoft Windows XP" (pretty sure I have Vista and this disc was supplied for people who wanted to get back to XP.
    I have tried pressing F8 and F11 to no avail (makes a nasty loud hissing sound).
    Any ideas?

    hi Cj75,
    Can you try if the computer have the WinRE Active
    Keep on tapping the F8 key once you power on the system. Then select the Repair your computer option from the boot menu that appears. 
    WinRE photo (http://media.bestofmicro.com/win,B-8-177956-13.jpg)
    If You were able to boot to WinRE
    >In the System Recovery Options dialog box, Try running system restore first to a known good Date where your system state was fine.
    If system restore fails.
    >Try to do this to manually rebuild the BCD
    In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt. 
    Type BOOTREC /FIXMBR, and then press ENTER. 
    Type BOOTREC /FIXBOOT, and then press ENTER. 
    Type BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD, and then press ENTER. 
     If this still failed I believe you really have to Reinstall Windows on this
    Try contacting Support in your Are to Order a recovery CD (Fees may apply)

    Script can be executed/called only in/at the directory where it is. You can call script from path 'a' even if script's location is in the path 'b' , but you can't execute script with something like $@/dir1/dir2/myscript.sql if the script is realy in /dir1/myscript.sql .
    Although for something similiar you can consider using symbolic links if you are on unix/linux.
    Environment variables can't be changed and defined from within sqlplus so you will have to define them when you are in the os's command line or related gui where you can do the same. Also you could create env variable that can hold the path to the script so when the script is called , there is no need to write the full path, only variable name.
    2. How can I view path environment?path environment.
    There is no such thing.
    There is path environment VARIABLE . You can view it's contnent by typing echo $path in linux/unix or by typing set path in windows.

    So far, everythings is well. Except for one anoying little piece: my APN setting the EDGE network wont stay/stick between reboots. Not that I reboot my iPhone that often... But it always gets reset thus making my EDGE connection fail next time.
    Is it a know bug (that can be fixed by manually editing some specific file) or am I just missing some obvious?
