Omni10 recovery media question

I installed a 64 gb micro SD and everything was great till I turned on the option to automatically save files to that drive. The card became corrupt and I can't turn off the save feature.
How fluid is the recovery media that came with my tablet? My tables is running GREAT with the exception listed above and don't want to mess things up if there are known problems with the recovery media supplied with my tablet. Any advice from folks that have used the SD recovery card that came with the Omni 10?
Positive or negative please!

Well, I got no takers to my question, but the D drive became available again after putting a 32gb SD card in and rebooting. I had copied my can't live without files, photos and movies to that card before putting it in the bay. At first the tablet did not recognize the drive, but the reboot fixed that. I won't have to run the recovery disk and my really cool Omni 10 tablet is back up to par.

  • Recovery media question about Vista

    I ordered my T400 with Vista Ultimate x86 installed.  I am wanting to install the x64 version now.  I know I will have to do a clean install but I want to know if I have an option to install the x64 version off of the media that it creates for me?  If it does not what is a good way to do this?

    kofs, welcome to the forum,
    the media you wil be able to create from an x86 install will be x86 recovery media, no x64 will be present. I hope  this thread  offers you a possible solution.

  • Newbie question - recovery media

    Just received my T420s, and performed a system backup for the first time to an external hard drive using the Lenovo ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery application.  How does this differ from creating Recovery Media via ThinkVantage?  Thanks!

    Thanks.  So if my system ever crashes, do I restore from my recovery media or from my ;last backup?
    Did you make the external drive bootable before creating the backup?  If not you should create the recovery media, or at least the boot disc, in order that you can access your backup and recover your system with it.
    Another point to be aware of; different versions of R&R, up to date, have not been backwards compatible so you will need to be carefull when updating your system.

  • Question about Recovery Media Creator

    Hello everyone, first of all, I don't know if this question should be in this catergory, but I thought this would be the best to post in.
    My question is about the Recovery Media Creator procces. I was about to create the recovery DVD and I noticed there are several Recovery Media options (Recovery Media 1 to Recovery Media 3).
    My question is, what are the differences between them? Does it matter if I only check one of them so I would need less DVD's or a smaller USB?
    Thanks in advance.
    PS. excuse my grammar or bad explanation if there is any mistake.

    Using Toshiba recovery media creator recovery image saved on HDD will be copied on DVDs or USB media and it will be created as bootable media.
    How many discs must be used depends on recovery image. For some notebooks 2 discs are needed and for some of them you need 3 discs.
    The tool gives you also info which medias you can use and suggest you, for instance which USB device you need. For my U940 is 16 GB USB listed as suggested due to 9,2 GB recovery image.

  • Re-Installing Windows 7 Using Recovery Media (DVD's)

    Notebook: HP-430 Notebook
    OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)
    HDD: 298 GB
    When i newly bought my HP-430 notebook, I re-partitioned HDD using some other third party software.I created one additional partition (M:\). Here is the info, of how i had repartitioned....
    C:\  - 100GB (changed from 284 GB to 100 GB).
    D:\  - Did not make any changes.
    M:\  - 184 GB (Created a drive by my self).
    Then after some days for testing purpose i thought of using recovery manager. So i run the setup and chose the First option (System Restore) which said that it will only reformat the system drive (C:\), and will not perform any other HDD changes. But to my surprise it deleted/reformated the full HDD, and i lost all my documents, music, photos, and all my important files, which i had stored/backed up on M:\ (which i had created)....
    Can some one tell me why the hack this happened.....????
    Then now, next point. After recovery manager had restored the OS, i again repartitioned it, But this time with Windows Disk Management Tool. But Windows Disk Management didnt allow me to shrink(resize) the C:\(Systemdrive) less than 150 GB. So i resized C:\ to 150 GB from 284 GB, and created one more drive (M:\) of size 147 GB. And i deleted the Recovery Drive (D:\), but i have created the Recovery DVD's before deleting Recoevery Drive from my HDD.
    Again now its time for me to reinstall Windows 7 using Recovery media, as i have messed up with some system files while installing a theme for Windows 7, and now my OS is completely unstable. So now i want to reinstall windows 7, but I cant understand which option to chose in recovery manager (when run from Recovery DVD's)
    Options shown in recovery manager
    1. Recover using Microsoft Recovery
    2. System Recovery (The option which i had chosen for the first time and got all my stuff deleted)....it says it only reinstalls the OS and wont perform any other HDD changes.
    3. Minimised Image Recovery
    4.Factory Reset.
    So now my question to you guys is that.......which option do i chose in recovery manager so that all my backed up content and my stuff on M:\ (which i created) wont be deleted..and the OS will be reinstalled.....
    PLIZZZZZ HELPPPPPPPPPPPP.........................
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    I don't believe that any of the recovery options from the Disc will retain your custom partition - As far as I know, the only time you will get a prompt to keep a custom partition is when using the 'Minimized Image Recovery' option from the Recovery Partition D which you have removed.
    You could try the following work-around.
    Download the correct Windows 7 Disc Image from the link below - this must be exactly the same version as your OEM installation - ie if your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the version you would need to download.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    Use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
    Use the disc you create to perform the installation - when you get to the option to choose the type of installation, choose Custom and select the C partition. 
    When asked, enter the Windows activation key found on the underside of your notebook, then when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • How to get a Recovery media for Satellite L305D S5900

    I am a Ghanaian who bought a Toshiba laptop about seven months ago. The model is Satellite L305D S5900. I am also in Ghana. I found out from the documents that came with the laptop and your forum that I can order for Recovery media for it with no charge on the software itself.
    How do I get this Recovery media for my machine as I am in a different country? What are the things involved?
    Thank You.

    Your T500 can burn CD's at the least and if you can access Windows, you should be able to burn a set of recovery discs.
    Other than that, I suggest calling support to see what they can do to help. The number in the U.S. is 1-800-426-7378.

  • How can I get a 64 bit recovery media for a Satellite L455D-S5976

      This machine came with a 32 bit processor along with a 32 bit operating system. Not long ago I upgraded the processor to a dual core AMD Turion 64x. I created recovery media, but it is a 32 bit version. I have an upgrade win 7 that I believe will do the trick but I would rather do it with the Toshiba recovery media. Anyone have a possible solution.

  • Creation of Recovery Media failed

       I just got an Ideapad N580 a few days ago & have been getting familiar with it.  
       I just updated the OKR utility to the latest version as of tonight.   Then I attempted to create Recovery Media for the first time, according to: 
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=HT076024
        I bought a new 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive and intended to use that for the media, according to the instructions.
       I captured the screen shots of progress toward creating the media.  See this PDF.
       The last page shows that the flash drive was named RECOVERY and has about 18 GB of information on it.
       I did not delete the original source partition on the original HDD.
       My new recovery media didn't work.   I put a non-Win8 drive into my N580 (one that could not boot, although otherwise it was OK), and the RECOVERY drive into a USB 3.0 slot on the N580.
        I got the LENOVO splash screen and flashing of the access LED on the flash drive, then the screen blanked and the cycle repeated endlessly.  Sometimes there was a rapid cycling of the splash screen and sometimes it froze up.
       Apparently I had only one chance to create successful recovery media.  Now where do I turn?

    hi tresho,
    Can you try to:
    1. Restart the PC and repeatedly tap F2 on startup to boot into the BIOS
    2. In the BIOS, navigate to the Boot Tab and set UEFI Boot to Disabled.
    3. Press F10 to save and exit BIOS and repeatedly tap F12 to display the Boot Options
    4. On the Boot Options, check if you see USB HDD / USB Key, and press Enter to boot from the flashdrive
    Your USB recovery drive should now boot.
    Let me know your findings

  • Restore Windows 7 from Recovery Media on brand new SSD

    Hey all,
    a. I have a brand new Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD which I want to install on my x230t.
    b. I have already created a recovery media disc on a 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive.
    c. I have already updated all drivers (and BIOS) on currently installed mechanical hard drive.
    So the question is simple, how do I use that to restore to factory settings on brand new SSD? I don't want to:
    1. clone the current mechanical drive and
    2. I don't want to follow this guide as this installs a fresh copy of Windows 7 by downloading the a standard installation ISO and then installing the drivers included in the "SWTOOLS" folder in the C Drive. I want to use the factory recovery disk I created on an USB flash drive as that install all drivers and turn computer to factory state (all at the same time).

    Recovery media is actually a clone.  At the Lenovo factory, we preload your system by installing the OS, drivers, and software.  The very last step of the preload process is to create an image of the preloaded HDD using imagex, and this is what is on the Q drive of the Win7 preload.  So if you were to use the recovery media you created, all you are doing is restoring a image (clone) of the HDD as it left the Lenovo factory.  This is what you say you don't want to do.
    If it were me, I would install the fresh copy of Win7, manually install the WLAN driver and System Update from the X230 driver matrix, and then let Windows Update and System Update do the rest...
    Recovery media is OK, but you are left with a 1+ year old preload and still have to run Windows Update and System Update to download hundreds of updates.  Might as well just start with a fresh install and accomplish the same thing.

  • Recover Windows 7 with Recovery Media from WXP

    Created a Recovery Media from a preinstalled ThinkCentre (M58p) Windows 7. Stored on DVD including WINR.WIM total size 257 Mb. Installed Windows XP using Lenovo RnR DVD's. So far no problem.
    Now wanting to know how I can recover the factory W7. Used the Recovery Media W7, Windows starts Product Recovery, selected method 'Restore to factory default state'.
    Wizard asks for Product Recovery Disc 1.
    I created the Recovery Media in assumption having the opportunity to restore the factory Windows 7.
    Do I need the recovery disks of Lenovo for this? Does the Recovery Media only work in combination with W7 OS?
    F11 starts RnR for the WXP. The recovery partition of W7 seems to be deleted by the recovery of WXP.
    In the past (pre-ThinkVantage-period) I used Ghost for the original factory OS's, did work nicely.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    welcome to the forum.
    Ok, so let's start from the scratch. What you have created while the Win7 was instaled was not an "image" nor a backup of your system. That was just a bootable "Rescue" disc, so that in case you cannot boot up into OS, you can boot from this CD and this will give you some options to save your date, etc.
    Unfortunately on your protection I have to tell, that it is a bit harder to differ the two buttons, where one says "Create Rescue and Recovery disc" and the second one "Create recovery media". The one will create a disk, like you have. The second one will create you a new set of recovery CDs, that you could use for the restore of your system.
    So in this situation, where also the original RnR Win7 partition is gone, Is the only chance to get back to Win7, to call support and ask for the Recovery CDs.
    Let me know, if this post helps you. a bit.
    Also feel free to asky any add question.  I'll be happy to answer them if I know the correct answer
    Cheers

  • Windows 8.1 downgrade to windows 7 pro recovery media with Satellite S50-BBT2N22

    I have a few questions about my recovery media.
    1. My new Satellite S50-BBT2N22 was ordered with Windows 8.1 downgrade-able to Win 7 pro. Should I build my recovery media before or after I downgrade to win 7 pro?
    2. My new Satellite S50-BBT2N22 does not have a DVD drive. How will I save my recovery media?
    Regards
    Dennis

    1. Before.  Your Recovery partition will remain Windows 8.1. After downgrading to Windows 7 and beginning operations, you should make frequent HDD copies to an external drive anyway.
    2. Use a Flash Drive in a USB port.  See your User's Guide starting on page 46 for complete instructions   
    for making Recovery Media and Recovering the HDD.

    This site is for US computers. I doubt you'll get your questions for that Canadian model answered here.
    There appear to be two recovery partitions. Maybe one for 32- and one for 64-bit Windows. Or maybe one is for English and the other for French.
    Your User's Manual isn't much help either. You probably need to ask Toshiba tech support in Canada.
    About all I have to offer is this: Be wary of drives with advanced-format technology. See my message about that.

  • Yoga 13 doesn't have an option to create recovery media in onekey recovery

    Hi All,
    I am prepping a new Lenovo Yoga 13 for a user.  I want to create recovery DVD(s) for the new system with the OneKey Recovery software.  When I open the application there is no option to create media.  There are only a backup option and a restore option.  I called tech support and they advised if I attach a DVD drive the option to create media will appear.  I did this but no luck.....  I am attaching first a picture of what I see when I open One Key Recovery
    And secondly to show that I do have a usb DVD connected here is a picture of the DVD attached with a blank DVD inside it.
    I have downloaded the lastest update to the One Key Utility and am running version:  8.0.0.1519.  Can anyone give any insight as to why the create recovery media isn't there for me?.....

    Hi,
    If you want to reset or refresh your Windows, then I'd like to share this link with you:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc
    the reason why I share it with you is that the reset and refresh situations are different depending on the system installed in your machine.
    if the system does have a recovery partition, then it might be corrupted, I'm afraid that you eill need to contact the PC manufactiure for a DVD disk.
    By the way, Windows 8\8.1 also has some built-in advanced recovery options, you can boot your PC into recovery console to perform some troubleshooting steps.
