Hi,
I have a problem wit my Lenovo 3000 V200.
The hard drive had bad sector on the end of C partition.
So, I bought a new hard drive.
I connecter it as an external drive.
With a utility of copy partition, I copied the partition ServiceV002 from the old disk to the news disk.
I can't copy the partition C: because there are bad sector.
After, I connected the new hard drive into the laptop.
I try to boot and use Recovery System, but It doesn't work.
I have no DVD of backu, So can I do to use the partition ServiceV002 to restor my computer as a new computer
In advance, Thanks for your help

First you should try to fix the bad sectors, you can use the following command:
chkdsk c: /f /r

Problem with Rescue & Recovery

Hi!
I have a X61 running on Vista Business. I am facing 2 problems with Rescue & Recovery:
1. RR tries to run a backup on every bootup even when I schedule it to run Monthly or Never. The program appears not to register the changes to the backup schedule. I upgraded to the latest version of RR, but it didn't help. (Note: Another user posted about the same problem (http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=Special_Interest_Utilities&thread.id=604) some months back, but his problem hasn't been solved.)
2. Whenever RR tries to perform a backup, I get this error message: "R2R.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." I downloaded the patch KB917422 but got the following message when I ran the installation pgm: "Could not find any previously installed compliant products on the machine for installing the product."
Will greatly appreciate any advice!

Problem with Rescue & Recovery and older version backups

I have R&R version 4.23 on a R61i running XPP. Two problems:
1) It will not recognize older version backups on external HD. Any way to retrieve a few files only from old backup?
2) How do I delete an older version backup on internal HD which is not accessible but taking up lot of space? It seems to be hidden but is there.
Thanks!

hey harryr,
could you provide a screenshot of any error that you're receiving when you tried to use the R&R ?
Curious to know, those backup that you have, was it done before upgrading to R&R v4.23 ? and if you copied the backup file from external to internal HDD, are you able to recover the backup ?
For number 2, is that backup located on the C:\ ? If it is, try changing the view to show all hidden files.
Also, do check if your system is updated too.

Problem with Rescue and Recovery after installing Norton Internet Security 2010

Hi all.
It's my first time in this forum.
I have a problem, with Rescue and Recovery, after installing Norton Internet Security 2010 on my T43.
The message I get it:
"Rescue and Recovery is unable to back up the file 'C:\Documents and settings\all Users\Application Data\ Norton\ 00000082\00000109\000003c1\cltMLS1.bat' Because the file is either corrupted or being used by another application. Please close any application that could be using the file.
I tried to close the Norton but I couldn't find how.
Tanks

Hi and welcome to the forum,
the reason for this situation is, that the antivir files are protected from being modified.
This is the reason, why this file cannot be backed up. I assume, that you would get much more such messages, as there are surelly multiple files files, that are protected like this.
So the solution is to block folders from being archived. Please start RnR application and in the configuration set this folder as the excluded one.
This will skip the backup of this file and will fix your situation.
Please let me know, if you have covered this.
Cheers

Can you install Windows 7, then revert to a backup image of Vista with Rescue & Recovery?

I have a copy of 7 I want to put on my T61. I've partitioned the OS into one partion, and the files into another.
I've made backup copies of the OS with Rescue & Recovery already, so can I install Windows 7 over Vista, then if I find I don't want to stick with it, recover back to Vista?
T61 15.4" T9300 (2.5GHz 6MB L2) Windows 7 Professional x64 4GB Memory, NVidia Quadro NVS 140M

When you get to BOOTCAMP, that has to be changed from FAT to NTFS but you have to click Advanced Option.... button in order to change to NTFS.
The GPT error message can happen if you have more than one internal hard drive (say SSD and TB model).
If you didn't use Assistant, and some have managed, undo the partition.
Paragon CampTune $19 can also assist with installing Windows, creating the partition - but may not work with Lion, though you aren't there yet.

IHAVE 10.7.5. I WANT TO USE FIND MY MAC. IF I BUY 10.85 WILL IT COME WITH A RECOVERY PARTITION SO I CAN USE FIND MY MAC

I have an early 2011 macbook air on 10.7.5 I want to use find my mac but it says i need a recovery partition. If i buy 10.85 will it come with a recovery partition and will i be able to use find my mac

If you are using 10.7, you should have a recovery partition, now. Installing 10.8 will install or update the recovery partition if it can. If you have a drive partitioning scheme setup that prevents the recovery partition from being added, then I don't think 10.8 will change that.
Do you have a recovery partition now?

Problems with Rescue and recovery

Hi,
I have a T500 (2082 52G) with XP running. Having had problems with some software I tried to use Rescue and Recovery 4 to recover from an earlier backup. However, the Recovery still is at 0 % after 3 hours. Do I have an opportunity to shut down the system or cancel the recovery without crashing anything? I read "Dont shut down during the process" at the beginning. As I am business user it is _most_ important not to loose any data.
Any reply is much appreciated!
Regards,
Peter

Lenovo G580 - WIndows 8 - Resizing OS partition & problems with system recovery

Hello Everybody,
Just bought a Lenovo G580 notebook with pre installed Windows 8 (500gb harddisk, 4 gb RAM, Intel B960).I have been using Easeus partition manager with Windows 7 & its been working very well.So I wanted to partition my new HDD with it.Upon creating the a new 100gb partition (most importantly from OS partition that was about 428 gb) a very strange thing happened.The Refresh/Reset functions of WIndows 8 stopped working saying required recovery files are missing, also Lenovo One Key recovery program does not work with the message that required service partition is currently unavailable.At the same time, apparently partition called Windows recovery (1000 mb, hidden) still exists.One more peculiar thing I noticed & that is there is a new 1mb unallocated partition before the Windows recovery partition.While partitioning I did not receive any message about deleting of any data.One last piece of information (not sure if relevant) is before doing partition I had created a system image that I am unable to restore, Windows 8 repair function recognises the image bit is unable to restore it.
Any ideas how to restore the System Recovery functions or how to restore the system image.
Thanks
Petr

Terrible bug with Rescue & Recovery 4.5

Hello all,
Just a notice to all users, I had a terrible bug with Lenovo Rescue & Recovery. Everything went well, until the restore: I have one SSD for system and one micro sata for data. The system drive had two partitions (created by Lenovo at the origin, a system (C) partition and a Lenovo recovery partition). When I tried to restore a previous version of the system drive that I backuped with Lenovo R&R, it restored the system on C: and restored the recovery partition... on D:, erasing all my data! In addition, the MBR was missing on the system. And cherry on the cake, I could not use the backup a second time when I tried, because R&R did not find the backup again.
I was particularly disappointed because as the backup went so smoothly, I did not do a data backup before restore, my previous backup being three days old, so I lost three days of work.
I had previous bad experience with Windows backup & restore, windows software could not find the restore, but at least it did not erase data.
Thierry

I agree with the TERRIBLE bug comment.
It amounts to:
(1) restore Q partition
(2) C drive.
I will repeat my other posts. I ordered pc, with 320 GB and 160 Gb Hdd. From factory, C went to 320MB. Factory install goes to 1st HDD it finds, in my case 320 GB.
So you have discovered a new, how does it work?
1 HDD (c), 1 sata (for data). It used factory recovery items, and waxed the sata( and made it bootable). Then got smarter, and restored C to HDD, unbootable.
Did someone not test this? Dont expect a new version of RNR. not supported on win 8. Acronis, $$ well spent.
Dumb.
Next time, unplug the loved sata before a FULL HDD restore. (not a c drive restore). Sad. unplug loved!
==
Did not find backup 2nd time around. Discussed in other posts from myself. What is your windows platform RNR backup location set to? If local, change it to USB or where ever you think they are at.

Recovery on Sat Pro C660-2KM with new HDD with restored Recovery partition

Hey Folks,
I had a problem with a virus on that sat pro, so I decided to totally erase the hdd to get rid of that virus. Bevor I did that, I saved everything from partiton D including the recovery path and after erasing of course I copied everything back at it's place (second partition).
Now trying to recover and don't know how to do it. F11, F10 and F8 seems not to work. Do I need the Recovery media created with recovery media creator or can I still use the recovery path on the new D: partition?
Thanks for your help in advance,
Stefan

Hi
> Do I need the Recovery media created with recovery media creator or can I still use the recovery path on the new D: partition?
Toshiba recovery media creator can be used ONLY if the HDD and the partition table has not been modified. In your case the recovery media creator would not work anymore since you delete everything from the HDD and lost the recovery marks.
The only solution: you need the recovery disk and this can be ordered here:

USB disk with Lion recovery partition + storage partition shared by Mac & Windows: Windows can't read it.

I have a Lexar Express Card flash drive (16GB). It works the same as any USB flash drive.
I use it to move files between Mac OS and Windows 7/Bootcamp: Drag files to it in one OS, reboot in the other OS, take the files back off.
Recently, I discovered the Lion Recvoery Disk Assistant, which allows you to create a Lion Recovery Disk on an external drive (just in case). So, I decided I would use a ~1GB partition on the express card for the recovery disk, and leave a ~15GB partition for the same file sharing I am used to.
This setup requires that the disk use a GUID Partition Map with a HFS+ file system for the recovery partition, and I use a FAT32 file system for the shared partition. The partitioning was done in Mac OS Disk Utility, and then I think the Recovery Disk Assistant modifies it further by adding an EFI partition.
When I try to access the disk in Windows 7, it says it needs to format the drive first (which it shows to be a ~200MB "volume" on a disk with ~15.4GB "capacity"). From what I have been able to find on my own, Windows 7 should be fine with a disk using a GUID Partition Map, and both OSs can use a FAT32 file system. So why does Windows only see the 200MB EFI partition at the first section of the disk, and not the other partitions, particularly the FAT32 file sharing partition?
The last thing I will mention is that the disk is being seen by Windows as a MBR/Master Boot Record partitioned device. I'm assuming this is the GPT/GUID Partition Table's protective partition's fault; the one MBR partition that keeps the GPT partitioning safe from software that doesn't recognize or know about GPT.
I'm asking on the Apple discussions because it's in Boot Camp and I'm primarily a Mac user. If anyone knows a better, Windows-focused place to ask, please say so!

You really need to search first as there are A LOT of post's with the same question. Different issues with different Models.
What model/year do you have and what OS were you using first? Snow Leopard (10.6) is the last one that came with a CD/DVD with the computer.
You insert the disk when it's done installing W7 and reboots into Windows then you insert the 10.6 MacOS Installer disk for the Windows drivers. Lion does it a different way.

...........because I lost the OS X Lion install disk that came with my Mac)..........
Lion (10.7) is only a download now, there are no more physical disk's, (unless you pay the extra money for the USB installer thumb drive directly from Apple). So if your computer came with 10.7 Lion installed then you will not have a physical disk. There should be a "Repair Partition" that you use to boot to if you need to repair or to reinstall the Lion OS.

Please Help!
Thank You!!!
I don't believe the Boot Camps drivers are in the Lion download anymore, ( to keep the download smaller?), the only way you get them now is when you start BCAssistant, it will prompt you to download them onto a CD, or USB drive. You have to download and install the Boot Camp drivers separately. You then insert it when it's done, when Windows boots.

Problems with Dashboard (after partitioning the hard drive?)

I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. Yesterday I partitioned the drive to also run Windows, using Boot Camp. Everything worked fine after I completed Boot Camp.
Now my Dashboard is not working correctly. It opens and closes, and certain widgets work, but others are non-responsive. Some won't even let me close them. I opened the "Manage Widgets" widget, and that is blank and also will not close.
I also installed all new software updates yesterday, but those are the only changes that I have made.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

First, in general, you should only be using the hardware drivers from your model's Toshiba support page. As well, you should not allow Windows Update to change any of your Toshiba supplied hardware drivers.
After doing a clean install, the order that the drivers are installed in is critical for success. This is 1st chipset, 2nd display, then all other drivers. But, on a Toshiba, after installing all the hardware drivers, you are going to have to install some of the Toshiba utilities for it to work properly. Again, the order is critical, this would be 1st TVAP (Toshiba Value Added Package), 2nd Toshiba Flash Card Support Utility, then all other Toshiba Utilities.
However, like everything, there can be other factors and complications. For example, on your system you could have either an nVidia or Realtek sound card. In this case, you can try each driver and see which installs and works.
But, I would strongly recommend that you breakdown and order the set of Toshiba recovery media for your system, which you can do here. You will just need to input the serial number from the Toshiba label on the bottom of your unit. This will rebuild your Toshiba HDD recovery partition, reinstall Windows 7 with an imbedded product key, and install all the drivers, utilities and software your system came with, as listed in your specifications.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

[SOLVED] Dualboot problems with Windows 7 partition

Hello,
after arch is running well I focus on the dual boot to have my arch and the windows 7 available.
The first partition (hd0 1) is the chainboot to Windows 7, the second one is the main partition for windows and the third held the syslinux bootloader.
LABEL windows
MENU LABEL Windows
COM32 chain.c32
APPEND hd0 1
After I uncomment the lines in the syslinux.cfg with the "Windows2-Label, I just tried what happens, because I was expecting everything works well like the other laptop I installed both systems.
The following error message shows up when I select Windows in the boot menu: "Couldn't read first partition sector"
At first I set the MBR back to the W7 chainloader to check if it is broken, but it works, after that I set it back to the syslinux bootloader.
I also tried some workarounds:
- KERNEL instead of COM32
- setting APPEND to disk identifier of the windows chainloader
- try to open the cfdisk, this shows up an error: "cfdisk fatal error bad logical partition 6 enlarged logical partitions overlap"
Confused and unhappy I checked it with gparted and saw there is now error.
#May anybody can hep to handle this problem or has some experience with that type of error. I was searching the web for two days but didn't found anything that helps.
Kind regards

The awnser is just easy as I thought. It is a problem with the extended logical partition, creted by windows partition programm. The partitiontable is somewhat messy. But i can't delete it without loosing much of my stuff and even can't back it up. So i decided to buy a mSATA SSD for the my laptop.
Now it works. :-)
