I updated my T61 from VISTA to win 7 64 bit now thinpad recovery current ver wont install

i did a clean install of WIN 7 64 on my thinkpad  T61 7664-17u. I put thinkvantage toolbox, other thing son, but it wont take the curent 64 bit version restore and recovery 
i get error message as seen below:
rescue and recovery does not support installing from the operating system which upgrade from a legacy preload system
version i am trying to install is z936_setup_rnr450_025c. Any idea on what version i can try to install?

I don't use rescue and recovery personally, but I think I can at least explain your error message.
Your recovery partiton contains a different OS then you have installed, so rescure and recover cannot use it to fix any problems or do  a system restore. The only way you coud is if you did a system restore from original setup discs for the OS your using, which probably don't exist. 
There may be other options within this program that can help you. I recal reading that it can image your drive and do a restore that way, but as I mentioned, I use other methods of restore so I don't have a solution for you..
There are 3rd party tools that can create restore images of your windows partiton, many use this method. My personal preferrence is to have a partition where I instal a second windows version. Doing a system restore is destructive of data and takes time, where a second OS can be accessed in a couple minutes. I also keep my windows partition small so it can be imaged and saved in a separate partition and I don't store any of my data in it, that way if I ever have to restore by reinstalling windows or re-imaging the partition, none of my data is lost, only what is in the C: drive is effected. I personally feel this is far superior to a hidden partition who's only purpose is to install windows. This data can be stored on optical discs and the harddrive space can be put to better use.

  • Elements 5 will not start from the windows old file after upgrading from vista to win 7

    Elements 5 will not start from windows.old after upgrading from vista to win 7

    Ideally there should not be any impact of OS change, but officially PSE5 is not supported on Win7.
    What exactly happens ? Can you see the processes running in Task-manager?

  • After upgrading from Vista 64 64 bit to Window7 64bit the DVD stopped working

    After upgrading from Vista 64 64 bit to Window7 64bit the DVD at first worked just fine but after about 7 months it just stopped responding as if the hardware as in the DVD Dive it compatible with Windows 7. I have reinstalled the full Windows 7 that I got from HP but it still has the same problem and when I try a full recovery it  will start to read the recovery DVD but it take way to long like 15 mins just to start reading and it stops reading with error's after about 2 min's into it.
    Were is the errors that I get
    This PC in not supported by the system recovery disc. you will not be able to continue to recover this system with these disks.
    keep in mind that the problem lies with the DVD drive not working and like stated above it will work if Windows Vista 64 is installed so this error message is not the key to the problem just part of it.

  • C6150 won't print after upgrade from Vista to Win 7

    Hello.
    I have a C6150 AIO that worked fine under Vista.  Since I've upgraded to Win 7, I cannot get a printout from any application or the Windows test print.  The HP Solution Center test print works fine.
    -  Printer is hooked up wirelessly
    -  I've installed the latest driver from HP that is supposed to be Win 7 ready
    -  I've also installed the patch they recommend after upgrading from Vista
    There is no error.  Print job shows up briefly in the print manager window, then disappears as though it printed.  I'm at a loss, any help would be appreciated.

    This question was solved.

    I hope I have now sorted this problem.....
    After numerous atems to install HP Windows 7 drivers & apps and failing I decided to restore the PCs to the day before I first installed the Drivers etc.
    Then I unistall HP software and reinstalled the new drivers etc. This I had to do a couple of times on the Laptop (restore 3 days back).
    After installing the HP software you can print a test page, print OK. Then goto printer properties and ty to print a test page from there, if this is unsuccessful  restore system and start again.  Most it took me was three attemps.
    Now allI have to do is hope that the windows updates dont mess it all up again!
    Hope this helps you......... Good luck

  • Transferring Lightroom 4.4 from Vista to Win 8.1 on New Computer

    I was running LR 4.4 on a Vista OS.  I purchased a Win 8.1 computer.  Per an online tutorial, I transferred my photo folder to the new computer then installed LR 4.4, then transferred over the .lrcat folder.  The catalog cannot find the photos.  Is there something I am missing or a different way to accomplish this?  I intend to upgrade to LR5.7 but thought that it would be simple to work with the same version between computers and operating systems.  Any step-by-steps or advice would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    It's my understanding the upgrade does not modify any other partitions while upgrading Windows itself. Seems likely something else is wrong.
    If you did not create recovery media before and cannot do so now, then obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.
    All the information in the section Recovering the Internal Storage Drive, which begins on p. 53 of the User's Guide, should still be applicable.

  • Re: Downgrading Equium A210-1AS from Vista to WIN XP

    I have a fully functioning desktop and a barely working Equium A210-1AS I have Avanquest Fix-It 10 working well on the desktop. I installed Fix-It 10 on the Equium and after a day or so the computer crashed. It would boot and after endless restore operations and uninstalling a not-needed program and Fix-It 10 the computer is sort of working with a peculiar message. I was too mean to pay an extra 30 for a recovery disk for the Equius which has Vista Home OS. Now it so happens that I have a genuine OEM CD of WIN XP in my possesion. I bought it and used it on a desktop that I eventually took to the Council rubbish dump when it stopped working.
    Can I create a CD with all the XP drivers downloaded from the Internet then just boot up with the WIN XP disk then insert the drivers CD?
    I believe I could activate WIN XP by telephone and explanation. Would this work and what would the difficulties be? I do not need to save any data.
    BTW I like XP and dont like Vista!
    Thanks for any help,

    I have another problem. When I use the other link supplied by Jeka-IL to the Toshiba website concerning an AHCI driver, and I went to Device Manager to find out which chipset I had the result was nothing like the example given by Toshiba. What I saw was as follows:
    IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
    IDE Channel
    IDE Channel
    IDE Channel
    Ricoh Memory Stick Controller
    Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller
    Ricoh xD Picture Card Controller
    Standard Dual Channel PC IDE Controller
    Standard Dual Channel PC IDE Controller
    IEEE 1394 Bus host contollers
    Etc
    etc
    The processor is an AMD Turion 64 x 2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz
    This I am sure is a processor that could operate 64bit but is currently operating Vista 32bit

  • Downgrading T61 from Vista to XP Display Driver Problem

    Hi, We have recently downgraded a T61 laptop's OS from Windows Vista to Windows XP SP2 using the recovery CDs provided by the vendor. After the downgrade, all the factory default applications and drivers were installed properly, except for the video driver. I have downloaded and installed the available display driver from Lenovo web site (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/license.do?filename=mobiles/7ld150ww.exe) but whenever I try to install it, it gives me the following error message:  "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. Setup will now exit."  I am confident that our laptop meets the minimum requirements: It has 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD etc. Any idea how to solve this problem.  Many thanks in advance! - Cris 

    Cris, welcome to the forum,
    it would be helpful if you could post which T61 system you have, even better post the Type and Model Number this will help members to help you. If it ends in CTO please provide some details about it. Please do NOT post your s/n.

Once I finally took the time to google Linux, read about ditributions,open source and read blogs and read community comments etc.. I was like" I gotta be apart of this~!!" because XP was the shizz.

  • Can I change the software in the recovery partition from Vista to Win 7?

    After doing a clean install of Windows 7 in a used Tecra A9 I just bought, I would like to  replace the factory installed Vista Business software within the recovery partition with Win 7 code so as to be able to boot  Win 7 in that partition in an emergency.  How can I do that, and are there any serious downsides to getting rid of the "factory installed stuff"?  Thanks in advance.

    In the Creative Cloud Application you can change in Preferences the App language. Then you can download and install additional the other language.
    With Photoshop you can now go to Preferences > User Interface and switch between all installed and available languages.
