Recovery partition on T410 not working

Couldn't think of a good way to phrase that subject line. Anyways, I was trying to create 'restore' disks from the recovery partition. Seemed easy enough--I clicked it and it prompted me asking if I wanted to go ahead.. I said yes, and it started copying files.
Problem is it froze while getting the files ready to burn, so now I have TWO extra partitions on my drive: Q, the original recovery partition and "SYSTEM_DRV (S" which has four file folders on it. If I click on the original "LENOVO_RECOVERY" partiition, nothing happens and it appear to be empty...
Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Hi cwarner!
You can delete those partitions but make sure you know what you're getting into, because they have a purpose:

If you want to "fix" your immediate problem i.e. recovery disk creation failed, use your warranty and call Lenovo support, tell them exactly what happened, and they will most likely send you a set of recovery disks.
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Hi,
How did you clone the HDD ? One-for-one or different method ?

Recovery partition Exists, but not detected.

New here and I reset my computer reguarly. This is the second time doing it on my Sattilite C855-S5132NR Running 8. While going through the options and steps to factory restore I came across an issue. The recovery system could not find the image. But looking at the partitions on the computer I can see recovery partion is healthy and the file structure inside is still good. I tried again grabbing HDD drivers from the toshiba website and using advance settings to force it to read the partition. Its partucuarly frustrating that when i browse the file structure for the driver, I can also browse through the recovery partition. The HDD in entirety is healthy the computer for the most part clean and in good health. As far as i can tell this is a rediculous issue. Does anyone know of a way to force the detection of the recovery partition and save me some time and money?

The system recovery option means that there appears to be corruption or another issue with the recoveryt partition.
Since that is the case, then you will need to use the recovery media (USB or disk set) you have already created to effect the recovery.
If you did not create recovery media, you will need to order a usb recovery flash drive (preferred) or a recovery disk set from HP or an HP partner. The cost is usually around $30.00 USD

Iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode, sleep button not working and Apple not helping

Hey Apple Community,
My iPhone 4 has been caused me a lot of frustration in the past week and after getting rejected from Apple Customer Service I did not know where else to turn. Sometime in January my iPhone 4's sleep/wake button stopped responding (it seemed to have gotten stuck) and in my initial call to Apple I was told there was nothing they could do for me even though I was within the 1 year warranty. I figured I could live without locking my phone, it wasn't that big of a deal to me so I simply ignored it.
However, just a few days ago my home button started being less responsive and this was clearly something I could not manage without. It was acting odd, sometimes it would work on the first try and sometimes it wouldn't do anything even after 4-5 tries. The worst part was it would automatically go to voice control even when it was sitting in my pocket. This of course caused me quite a lot of embarrassment since voice control would activate in the middle of my lectures sounding a chime and would dial a random person's number and I would open my phone to hearing someone calling my name. No fun indeed. I called apple about it last week and the nice agent told me that he had waved some sort of a fee to talk to me, I did not know I was required to pay to recieve basic customer support. He also said since I was over the one-year warranty by 7 days and because I do not have an Apple Care plan there was nothing he could do for me besides offering me a refurbished iPhone 4 for $150 as a replacement. I said thanks for the offer but that isn't exactly solving my problem. Since Apple comes out with a new phone every year and being an Apple geek I stay current with the new technology - the Apple care plan just doesn't suit me. I protect my phone in the best of cases and I have never damaged a product due to negligence, I'm not a kid anymore so I don't need to insure my products for my own stupidity.
Well just in the past few hours the demon iPhone went from making random calls to showing me a "Connect to iTunes" logo. I figured it had to be reset due to some software probelm (which meant I might not have to fork out $$$ to get the home button fixed), I gladly connected it to my laptop and now it wont seem to leave recovery mode. I have tried numerous times and it seems to complete recovery and then tell me to connect to itunes again. At this point I feel like I have lost my phone (and everything precious I had stored in it).
Of course as a business professional this is quite a set back. All my contacts, all my pictures and scans of products and documents and even the little notes that I kept on there to help me function - all gone. I haven't called Apple yet but since they were unable to help me before I am assuming there isn't much they can do now. I do not want to pay $29.99 to be able to talk to someone who will tell me I am out of luck. I am about 130 miles from the nearest Apple store so the Genius bar is out of the window. So in a last attempt to salvage this expensive piece of technology I turn to you Apple Community for suggestions. I was not able to find an email address for customer service or any method of communication to someone who could just hear me out and give me a reasonable excuse for why Apple cannot do anything for me. I always heard about the great customer service of Apple but I am surprised to see a product fail before my eyes and the manufacturer simply refusing to accept responsibility; all because I am 7 days too late. If I had dropped it or damage it through some programming experiments then I understand Apple refusing to do anything but this case is very disappointing.
I would sincerely appreciate any advice and apologize for writing a novel here, I wanted to present my case in the fullest of details.
- Raza

I had the same issue (stuck in "Connect to iTunes" logo mode) and looked around for a resolution. I didn't find an answer posted anywhere. I ended up holding down the power button and the home button for about 20 seconds before it finally came back and said I had to restore it. Once restored, everything is fine.
My problem was caused when I accidentally closed the iTunes window when I was updating the software (I meant to turn off the volume as a song was playing, but clicked on the window close button instead of the pause button). I tried holding both buttons for the recommended 10 seconds several times and it didn't clear the problem. Holding both buttons for a longer period of time did the trick for me.
I hope this post is useful to others.

WS2012 R2 Recovery from Windows Backup Not Working

Hi,
I tried to perform a bare metal recovery of a Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system backup but I can't get it to recover or access earlier restore points. Any help would be appreciated! I want to avoid reinstalling the OS *again*.
I have a hardware install of Windows Server 2012 R2 on drive (a), backup services saved to drive (b), and my server folders on RAID pool (c). I had verified that Windows Server Backup was executing daily and I was previously able to see several backups
in the list of restore points.
I first tried to use the Windows Recovery Wizard to restore a "Volumes" recovery on drive (a); however, I can't select the "Source Volume" (C:) to equal the "Desination Volume" (C:). I just want to replace the current drive
(a) with what's backed up. Why is this? Should this be working with source equal to destination?
Then, when restoring Windows using startup disk & recovery options, I can't see more than the last backup. Older restore points are not available. Plus, my local administrator password is not being accepted. So many things are going wrong...
The last thing I did was enable the Windows Server Essentials role and set it up, which did include picking a domain name. I wasn't happy with the ".local" TLD that was automatically created so I wanted to restore before Essentials was set up.
Is this what is preventing a recovery?
Thanks!
Steve

Hi Steve,
For performing a restore, please make sure you boot with an installation disk and restore to correct target volume - here is an article with pictures incase there is any difference on your side:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2010/06/11/how-to-perform-a-bare-metal-restore-on-small-business-server-2008.aspx
Note: Steps are for Windows SBS 2008 but it is the same as using a Windows 2012 R2 installation disk to do a recovery.
Meanwhile from the description, it is a file server before installing Windows Server Essentials role. So it is a domain controller now.
Then it should also work by uninstall Windows Server Essentials role:
It may not able to be uninstalled at once but it will suggest to uninstall some roles (which it installed in order to convert to Essential server and a DC) first. If all suggested roles could be uninstalled, you can also uninstall Windows Server Essentials
role so that it will back from DC to file server - you can reinstall it later.

Recovery, and Black Point Not Working in 2.0

I imported RAW pics from my old database (converted to 2.0). Wanted to try the new exposure adjustments, mainly recovery and BP. The HUD only lets me adjust exposure and brightness, the recovery and black point are grayed out and cannot be adjusted.
Has anyone got this adjustment to work? I am using the trial version. No, I am not in the preview mode. The master is Canon RAW from 40D.

Got it. Thanks! Just figured it out too that you need to choose the v2.0 RAW conversion on the RAW Fine Tuning adjustment toggle.
Recovery and BP adjust a lot more sluggish on my MBP w/4G Ram then it does in the tutorial video. This is concerning since in have only imported about 40 pics so far.
Time will tell.

Rescue and Recovery 4.21 - X200 Not Working?

Hi All,
Running an X200 which is going perfectley except I'm unable to make a backup using the Rescue & Recover 4.21 software. I have tried to make a base image to both HDD and USB HDD, it goes through the process until 100% then gives the message : "The backup did not complete successfully" with no other info.
When you go back to check the USB HDD no space has been used.

Can anyone help understand these errors?

I looked into my Event Viewer and got a hint. Also, knowing that my anti-virus program,
BitDefender, has a feature that prevents modification to the registry without permission from
me, and I hadn't been asked for such, I decided to turn that feature off and try again.
That worked, and I now have the latest version of Rescue and Recovery installed.

Format and Partition Task Sequence Not Working As Exprected When Using USB Media

Task looks like this.
Had been working on PXE based task sequence, but when I use USB media, it only makes a single partition that is around the size of the USB thumb drive.
How does this need to be changed so that it makes a C drive partition that is 80% of the total local disk space and a D drive that uses the remaining disk space when using USB boot media?

If you choose to create a "custom" partition configuration like the one above, then you are responsible for creating any extra required partitions like a BitLocker boot partition.
Additionally, if you are deploying on a uEFI machine, then you will also need to create the correct uEFI partitions.
Generally I discourage creating extra partitions.

Satellite L450D Webcam not working after new installation without recovery

Hi there,
as posted in the thread title I have a problem with the integrated webcam of a customer notebook. Two days ago the operating system of this laptop was damaged by a virus and needed to be re-installed. I tried to install it with the recovery partition, which did not work. After it I tried to re-built it with the dvd I burned from the recovery partition with the same result.
The only thing that worked was a clean install with a windows 7 64 Bit retail dvd and the key printed on the sticker of the laptop. I managed to get everything working again except one part - the webcam.
No driver installation, bios update and re-installation worked to get this part to work.
Did anyone of you know this problem and have a fix for me?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings Saphire
P.S.: One thing shall be also important. When I look into the installed devices manager the driver for the webcam is listed as usb webcam and the manufaturer of it is Microsoft.

Hi
I dont think that this needs to be fixed because I dont think its hardware related issue.
I think there is something wrong with the software on your notebook.
I mean everything worked perfectly until virus has damage the OS. Right?
You said this:
>I tried to install it with the recovery partition, which did not work. After it I tried to re-built it with the dvd I burned from the recovery partition with the same result.
I really wonder why you could not get this working using Recovery disk.
So possibly this is the key to this issue
On the Toshiba European driver page I could find Registry Patch v1.1 For Win 7 64bit
Also webcam driver v 1.1.1.4 is available there
I think the OS is responsible for your issue possibly some patches are applied or similar
