LENOVO 3000N200 0769 VISTA screen on rescue and recovery 4

Need your help please Wasn't the last person to use my Laptop. noticed sometime ago when triying to log in that my screen has default to Rescue and recovery 4; what make impossible for me to access windows. please i've all i could but no success. i can do manything with PC via rescue and recovery but as you all know without windows access it's a handicape; thanks in advance or your contribution regards Tino

Hi,
so from what I can understand, you have some issues with the OS and want to restore the system and you get the logon prompt when you try to access RnR PDA using the F11 key by system start. 
If this is correct, then the reason, why you get this message is that you have entered an user name and password in the RnR GUI (security)
In case you don't know this password, then that is a bad sign. As this is now locked.
Please let me know, if I'm correct with the above assumption of your situation.
Cheers

  • Rescue and Recovery 4 DOES NOT RESCUE/COPY LARGE FILES?!

    Hello all,
    Thank you in advanced for helping me out/any helpful advice you may have.
    System:
    Windows XP Professional
    T61
    4 GB RAM
    2.50 Ghz Dual Core Intel Processor
    120 GB Hard Drive
    140m nVidia Quadro video card (256 MB available memory I believe)
    Problem Summary:
    I ran into the unlucky computer problem of having a Microsoft.net framework addon for Firefox 3.5.3 result in a fatal interaction leaving me unable to boot up in both safe and normal mode. If you do have this addon, please uninstall it NOW, so that it does not happen to you. There is no current fix or patch for it as far as I know. Luckily, I have the (formerly) fantastic Rescue and Recovery 4 to backup my files and fix things.
    So in sequence of what I did:
    Tried several different attempts to fix problem to no avail (via google searches on the Rescue and Recovery Browser)
    Decided that it would be best to just reformat the drive and start a clean install.
    I had not done a real back up recently (several months due to my own carelessness and being busy).
    I chose to do a full factory restore using the 'Rescue My Files' option, since I had never done a backup using the included Lenovo Software, I usually just ran my own manual ones in Windows.
    To be on the safe side, I just decided to transfer my entire hard drive directory 'C:' to my 500 GB External Western Digital Hard Drive. I know I didn't really NEED all the files (like program files I would just need to reinstall anyway). I just wanted to return my computer to how it was as fast as possible.
    Rescue and Recovery registered as copying all my data (rougly 50-60 GB) of data to my external USB Hard Drive.
    I then unplugged my External USB Drive From the computer once it said it was complete. Rescue and Recovery proceeds with the factory restore.
    Things are going well, factory restore is successful, no problems yet.
    Once Windows was functional again and I had remade my usernames and settings just as it was before the crash, I plugged in my External HD again to restore my files.
    Every file that I copied was there EXCEPT FOR MY MOST IMPORTANT ONES. It appears the directory, 'C:\Documents and Settings\Justin\My Documents'
    AND
    'C:\Documents and Settings\Justin\Desktop'
    DID NOT COPY. I DID A DOUBLE CHECK, and the program said that all files had transferred successfully and I saw the directories on the USB Hard Drive in the Rescue and Recovery View. (I did not do a double check on another windows computer with my USB Hard Drive, however as I did not have access to one at the time and I was trusting in the Lenovo software, which did actually manage to rescue all the files, except for my most important ones.)
    Is there anyway way that:
    That because these files were so large (probably account for 50% of all data copied to my external USB Drive or 10-15 GB a piece), that the Rescue and Recovery file simply "passed over them"? The other files appeared to copy perfectly fine.
    There was an error with the program, like a file size limit cap that Rescue and Recovery cannot surpass so they were just skipped over?
    My own carelessness? Are all the root files not selected when you choose the entire 'C:' Drive as a directory? I did just choose to copy/rescue the entire 'C:' Drive and everything else (besides my two most important files) seemed to copy over so I do not beleive that this is the case.
    I did not individually, select each file in the 'C:\Documents and Settings' because I assumed that it would select each of the root files within it. (Is that not the case?)
    That the files are 'hiding' somewhere due to their large size?
    Most importantly of all:
    IS THERE ANYWAY THAT I CAN RECOVER MY DATA? There is about 2 years worth of photos, music, documents, etc. that I would like to have back that I do not have a recent back up of. 
    If anything, does anyone know WHY this happened? It was my understanding that Lenovo Rescue and Recovery was some of the best software for emergency crashes out there. And now it has failed me miserably. I'd at least like to know why it happened so that I may not repeat my mistake (or put too much faith in Lenovo) for the future.
    I've run some data recovery software but I know it will not recovery all the files that I once had in their state before my hard drive was reformatted back to factory settings.
    Thank you,

    Hello , and ARGH !
    I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM RIGHT NOW !
    If anybody could help this would really be appreciated .
    Here is the story
    Lenovo SL500
    Windows XP SP3 I think
    Specs maybe not too important
    My computer has some corrupted file and will not boot in normal or safe mode . When I try to do either , it starts booting , but before it finishes the load-up-windows screen , it displays an error message which says 
    " lsass.exe - System Error
    the endpoint format is invalid "
    and then goes no further , and the machine simply restarts itself again and would do this indefinitely if I didn't stop it .
    SO when it starts booting and shows the Lenovo Logo , I press the Lenovo Help/Tool Button to enter Rescue and Recovery [not sure what version it is , I cannot find information within it] and it gives me the option to Rescue files before recovering the system . I have the same problem as Nofeet3.
    It rescues all the small files
    BUT WILL NOT RESCUE ANY OF MY IMPORTANT FILES
    CERTAINLY IT DOES NOT RESCUE ANYTHING BIG [or bigger than roughly 2mb]
    It rescues picture files BUT WILL NOT RESCUE MUSIC FILES !!
    It may not even rescue bigger picture files , but I haven't noticed any pictures it has not copied since I can't go through ALL my picture files to see exactly what it has / hasn't copied.
    However , not a single music file is copied.
    It will NOT show up on the hard drive . What is strange , is when I try to plug the hard drive back in to try and copy the music files again , as I tried it a few times , it asks me if I would like to Write these files over the files already there , as though it has already copied. I check the hard disk , and these fils have definitely NOT copied onto the Disk . They are nowhere to be found .
    I don't think the files are hiding , but if they are , maybe somebody could tell me where.
    I suspect though that Rescue and Recovery has "recorded"  the files as having been copied , some kind of record , EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVEN'T !! Or if they have , they are absolutely invisible . WEIRD !
    nofeet3
    It is NOT because you selected the whole C drive , and is not due to any carelessness on your part. I have selected all files individually , and have tried time and time and time again , when I plug the ext hard drive into my other laptop to see if the files copy , they don't . I have tried this over and over and over again desperately all today , it is not working , even going so far as to select individual files rather than bigger directories to try and transfer in smaller in smaller batches ,just in case it couldn't handle large transfers all at once . That is not the case either . It just simply will not transfer files roughly bigger than 2mb . NO MUSIC !! THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING !!
    I am not sure at present whether this program can rightly be called "Rescue and Recover". It is one of the main reasons I selected Lenovo  , and this is not a good demonstration of it's abilites at all .
    PLEASE HELP ME !!
    ANY HELP WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED !!
    Thanks so much in advance for any help anybody can give , and best regards ,
    Carl .

  • Blue Screen error message after using Rescue and Recovery.

    Good morning - I unfortunately had to use the IBM Rescue and Recovery feature to restore my factory settings.  However, now my computer is giving me a blue screen error during the startup process.  Unfortunately it is not on the screen long enough for me to get too much information from it, but I have been able to get win22n51.sys as being some sort of error message.  If I start the computer in safe mode it will load without the error.  If I use the safe mode plus networking it gives the error.  So I'm assuming it has something to do with the network drivers?
    I would appreciate any ideas you all have for resolving/further diagnosing this problem.
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    Perhaps this Lenovo knowledgebase article, "XP Crash: System may hang or restart with a previous version of the Intel PRO 2200BG Mini PCI adapte..." will be of help to you in resolving the problem?

  • Error 25014 when trying to install Lenovo Thinkvantage Rescue and Recovery! Please help!

    Hi there! I recently restored my laptop with a general copy of Windows 7 pro 64 bit. I had to redo all the drivers and software (of course). I had installed Rescue and Recovery before but had never used it. I tried to reinstall it today and it kicks back every time with the same error message (error 25014 code=6)! I had installed linux but deleted it and installed Windows again. I also have a 21gb partition not even being used ( i have no clue how to combine them). Any advice as to how to get it working will be appreciated! Thanks for your help in advance!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Error 25014 rc=6 is error installing the RNR boot manager. 
    Provide some information:
    (1)Did your machine ship from Lenovo, with Lenovo factory system? If so what operating system was installed? vista, windows 7 home, pro etc? This would install with 3 partitions: system_drv, Lenovo recovery, (C). 
    (2)you state: I recently restored my laptop with a general copy of Windows 7 pro 64 bit
    Does this mean you DID not do a Lenovo factory restore, but actually installed a retail version of win7 pro?
    I will assume win7 pro retail for now.
    (3)you state: I had installed Rescue and Recovery before but had never used it. 
    Was this in the past, lets say, on a factory shipped Lenovo system?
    (4)you state: had installed linux but deleted it and installed Windows again. I also have a 21gb partition not even being used 
    ===
    It appears to me, your HDD had a system on it.  I see Ubuntu mentioned in your other posts. Your HDD had multiple parttions on it, including  the 21GB partition. Then you decided to install a retail version of windows 7 pro.
    During a install of retail windows, you have to pay close attention as to where it will install.
    http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-windows-7-a.html
    Note steps 7 and 8.
    It appears you did the windows install ON TOP of existing HDD, with preexisting partitions.
    ===
    Rc=6
    The simple answer is RNR is already installed.  Did you uninstall RNR before the install?
    The complex answer:
    When RNR install went to add its entries to boot manager,BCD (boot control data), it did NOT like the contents of the BCD, ie other entries parked in the BCD,ie, Linux. It expects to have 2 BCD slots used, windows and windows RE.
    ===
    Give this some thought. See if it matches your situation.
    ==
    I would erase the HDD via a standalone utility, then install win 7 pro retail, and all issues should clear up. 
    This Erase/delete can be done during windows install.  see steps 7 and 8 above.

  • Rescue and Recovery, restoring files from a vista system to a new Windows 7 system.

    I had been using rescue and recovery to back up the system on my Thinkpad X300, up until a few months ago.  The OS was vista, and I have since upgraded to Windows 7.  Yesterday, my laptop was stolen, and have lost a good amount of important data.  Before I go shelling out $$$ for a new thinkpad, My question is, will I be able to use Rescue and Recovery on a  Windows 7 system for files that were backed up on a system running vista?

    mottowa2, welcome to the forum,
    sorry to hear your ThinkPad was stolen, not a nice thing to happen
    I think the important factor is how / where you have saved your R&R backups. I'm guessing you copied them to other media?
    On the download site for R&R v.4.3, which is only compatible with W7, it states;
    If you want to retain the ability to restore from backups created with a previous version of Rescue and Recovery, you must create a copy of your backup files on bootable, external recovery media before installing the latest version.
    To archive your backups, complete the following procedure:
    From the Rescue and Recovery main screen, click Backup, and then select Copy backups from hard drive from the drop-down list.
    Select the medium you want to save your backup files to by clicking the appropriate radio button. The backup files that will be copied are listed on the user interface.
    Click OK to continue
    2. You will need blank removable media when copying backups from the hard drive to CD or DVD. Make sure that you label each disc as it is created, and that you store them together in a safe place.
    Note: You will be prompted to make the external media bootable at the beginning of the process.
    I believe, and sincerely hope, that all may not be lost.
    Let us know

  • 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,

  • Difficulty installing Rescue and Recovery 4.2 patch for Windows Vista

    Which between System Update Installation History and Post-Installation Status Report should I believe, when they tell a different story?
    When I run thinkVantage System Update, the post-intallation status report indicates that the following fails to install:
    * Rescue and Recovery 4.2 patch for Windows Vista
    * ThinkVantage Client Security Solution for Vista SP1
    * Lenovo Wireless WAN Activation Patch
    However, when I open the ThinkVantage System Update History Log, I read that the above updates have been installed.
    Which one should I believe?
    I'm willing to believe that the update has been installed, but whenever I run System Update, I keep getting the same message that the above three need to be installed.
    Should I keep ignoring the message? If not, what else could I try?
    I have a T60 running Vista with SP1 installed. 

    Hi privard,
    Thanks for your feedback. Anyhow, let me see how i could help to sort this out for you.

  • Rescue and Recovery after update from Windows Vista to 7

    I've updated my 2 years old Lenovo T60 from the preinstalled Windows Vista to Windows 7. For short: I like it.
    I kept the recovery partition but now want to update it, to keep it in sync with the current windows and Rescue and Recovery versions. By the way, due to earlier problems the system in this versions is not functional anymore. I tied to read the manual of Rescue and Recovery, but didn't get it...
    Is their an "easy" way (or documentation) to accomplish that?
    Thanks and Greetings

    The factory partition can't be updated - it is your recovery for what came out of the box with the system.  You can create factory recovery CD's/DVD's and store them somewhere just in case, and then you should be able to remove that partition and reclaim the space.  At that point, Rescue and Recovery for Win7 becomes your sole recovery option.
    There is a lot of new architecture in the Win7 version of R&R so you can't "upgrade" it from Vista - you'll need to install the new version in Win7.  It would probably be a good idea to burn your Vista Rescue and Recovery backups to CD/DVD before you upgrade, too.

  • T61 Lenovo Rescue and Recovery BSOD

    Hi,
    I've got a problem booting into the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery partition.
    System is a T61 (64665DG) with Rescue and Recovery 4.21.1016.00
    I receive the following BSOD message:
    A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage.
    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
    Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.
    Technical information:
    ***STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D6528,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
    It seems to be a problem with the AHCI controller not being supported. When I switch the SATA Controller Mode from AHCI to Compatibility in the BIOS it then successfully boots into the Rescue and Recovery environment.
    Why is it missing the correct AHCI driver? It used to work fine with the older version of Rescue and Recovery in AHCI mode. Is there a fix available for the Rescue and Recovery software to allow you to run it without having to put the SATA controller in AHCI mode?
    -Indie
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks both for your replies. The inability for it to boot the Rescue and Recovery partition in AHCI mode persuaded me to examine the contents of the partition for anything obvious amiss. Using Linux I was able to mount the FAT partition and have a nose around. In the /minint/system32 directory it's got a number of sub-directories for the Intel Iastor driver - that used to access the HD in AHCI mode. I couldn't find any reference to that in txtsetup.sif and the winpeoem.sif file was empty. After some Googling I found out that you can easily load additional mass storage drivers using winpeoem.sif.
    IBM have a program called rrutil.exe that allows you to access the RnR partition from within Windows, it's part of the Rescue and Recovery Administrator Tools.
    To modify winpeoem.sif first install the RnR admin tools and open a command prompt window in the install location - C:\SWTOOLS\TOOLS\Z652_Admin016. Make sure the C:\Temp directory exists and is EMPTY - this is very important. You then need to create a "getlist.txt" file:
    echo \minint\system32\winpeoem.sif > getlist.txt
    retrieve the file from the RnR partition
    rrutil.exe -g getlist.txt C:\Temp
     type
    notepad C:\Temp\minint\system32\winpeoem.sif
    and paste in
    [Version]
    signature="$Windows NT$"
    [OemDriverParams]
    OemDriverRoot=""
    OemDriverDirs=IASTOR
     upload the changes with (this will write everything from Temp to the RnR partition!)
    rrutil.exe -p C:\Temp
    Or you could just modify /minint/system32/winpeoem.sif directly in Linux without messing about with the rrutil.exe.
    With this small modification to winpeoem.sif I was able to successfully boot into the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery partition with AHCI mode enabled. I haven't tried reinstalling windows xp with this fix.

  • How to reset password in Lenovo's Rescue and Recovery?

    Hi all!
    Here's my problem. Recently I have discovered that I have forgot my password for Lenovo's Rescue and Recovery. I've supposed that when I select "Protect your backups with a password" option, I could change my password for every new backup, whenever I remember my old password or not, but it seems not. So now I couldn't restore my previous backup and couldn't make a new one. Is there any option to reset the password?

  • Can't Uninstall Rescue and Recovery on my Lenovo 3000N100 laptop, using XP

    Hi yesterday I tried to update to Rescue and Recovery 4.21, but didn't uninstall my previous version. However  when I was trying to install the 4.21 it asked me if I want to replace this file with another and I said yes to all.  When I did try to  uninstall my old version it said installation source not available, try looking for Rescue and Recovery.msi . I tried that but same thing happened, so I deleted those .msi files, and now it says program  program trying to use is on a network that is unavailable. I just want to uninstall it but I cant.
    Before I even tried to update it, Rescue and Recovery wouldn't even open. It say the current version of Rescue and Rocovery on my computer is 3.01.1037.00. It also said last used was back in 06 and I know iv used and updated this program before that. Is there a way to uninstall this program without using the add/remove tool?? Is this fixable?

    The only chance to perform factory recovery is if you have Lenovo_Recovery partition with several .wim files on that. But it seems they are absent. So contact with Lenovo support in your country and purchase recovery disks.

  • Problem with the "lenovo Rescue And Recovery" system. (lenovo 3000 N500).

    hi!
    yesterday i ran Kaspersky virus scan tool and it detect file named "tvtfilter.sys" as suspicious file and thefore delet it.
    today when i was restart my laptop, i got error message on startup that say:
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\rrservice.exe"  abnormal program termination. 
    after some google search i've understand that "tvtfilter.sys" was critical file of "Rescue And Recovery" system.
    so, any one with "Rescue And Recovery" running on his laptop can upload for me this file?
    it's located in "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DIRVERS\" and it's name is "tvtfilter.sys"
    thank you!
    BTW, ive tried to re-install it but it wont let me because of some error message

    Hi eitrnel,
    Just a thought: give a try to un-intsall the Rescue and Recovery from the Control Panel first before re-installing it.

  • Help with Lenovo Rescue and Recovery 4.31

    Hello,
    I work for a company that uses Ghost images for deploying laptops. We have recently decided to try the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery software built in with the new T520s when doing our local backup before sending the laptop out to the user.
    What we decided to try is building the base image, creating the backup locally on the computer using R&R, dumping the image to our server using Ghost and then imaging other laptops with that image.
    Our reasoning for creating the local backup first, is that time is not that big of an issue when creating the initial image, and neither is imaging other laptops because we create spares that we have built and ready to go out. What we would then do is apply any updates since the laptop was imaged, and have R&R create an incremental backup again, which would only take a few minutes and the laptop would be ready to ship.
    Upon using this method, we have found that you cannot view the original first backup created in R&R on a laptop that it was not created with. The backup content is there, as the drive space is used and booting into a DOS prompt and browsing the C:\RRbackups\SZ\<UID>\ folder shows the data.
    What I'm looking to know is how the R&R software generates that UID, and if anything can be done to allow the other laptops to recognize, whether it's rename the folder with a UID that the new laptop is going to use, or if it's something within the software files that's changable. Or even the registry.
    Any ideas or suggestions would be great.
    Thanks!

    kylejg, welcome to the forum,
    R&R is a little system specific. How many systems are you expecting to deploy using the method you describe?
    It might be worth taking a look at the "Big Brother" of R&R namely Image Ultra Builder as it should be able to, with ease, realise exactly that which you are aiming for.

  • Lenovo rescue and recovery will not run a new backup

    Tried several times to make a new backup using "rescue and recovery" (i've done this regularly over the years) .. But "rescue and recovery" freezes and then shuts the computer down. This has happened at least 4 times so far.

    1. What are the current and previous versions of R&R? When it was upgraded?
    2. Did you have the such issue with previous R&R version?
    3. Did you try to uninstall previous version and install the new one? Or reinstall the current version? How current vesrsion is upgraded from the previous one - manually or using System Update?
    4. Was your OS version upgraded from previous one? I mean as an example XP -> W7
