Rescue and Recovery display problem

I'm running Rescue and Recovery 4.21.0016.00 and when I boot the R&R rescue media boot disk I come up with the screen that shows the options however the the image is too big to fit the screen. I've tried 2 different monitors but the program makes the image size too large so that I can't see all the options and pick what I wnat to do. I'm  running this on a IBM Netvista 8307-GU6. Any ideas out there????????

I found another post for the same problem and found the fix. went into the BIOS and increased the display memory and that fixed my display problem. Now if I can just find out why the R&R program won't recognize the backup file when I boot from the CD I'll be happy. The backup file is on a USB drive and when I look at it from the Windows XP side it shows it being there but booting from the CD there are no backup files to restore from.  Any ideas????

  • Rescue and Recovery tool - problem with recovering files stored on USB memory stick

    I recently had to use the Lenovo Care Rescue and Recovery tool to restore my 300 N200 to a previously backed up state.
    As part of the Rescue and Recovery I selected the option to save user data in My Documents to a USB memory stick before restoring to the backup. This seemed to be successful (tool confirmed that 300MB of files were saved). But when I wanted to restore the files from the USB memory stick back to the laptop none of the folders/files is visible.
    I checked the memory status of the USB memory stick and this confirms that 300MB space is taken up - but no files visible!!!
    Can anyone help??

  • Rescue and Recovery restore does not work because of incorrect display size

    I am unable to restore my system when booting Rescue and Recovery from the Service Partition or DVD. R&R configures my monitor resolution as 640x480x16 but displays as if there we many more pixels available. The result is that only a portion of the screen is visible and crucial commands are cut off and unusable.
    I have read elsewhere that this might be corrected by updating the DisplayResolution parameter in the WINBOM.INI files found in the \MININT and \MININT\SYSTEM32 directories. I have tried this, setting DisplayResolution=1024x768x16, resetting to the default 640x480x16 and even removing the parameter altogether, all to no effect. My monitor always comes up at 640x480 and screens are always cut off.
    A puzzling feature of this problem is that Opera help screens do not exhibit this problem. They display at an appropriate size, maximize correctly and so on.
    Any help would be appreciated,

  • 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.

    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

  • Rescue and Recovery has encountered a problem and needs to close

    I'm running R&R 3.10.0022 on a ThinkPad T42p 2373-HTU and encountered the Rescue and Recovery has encountered a problem and needs to close error.  When I tried to install the advertised patch with rnr31cp5.exe, I get an InstallShield Wizard dialog box that says "Could not find any previously installed compliant products on the machine for installing this product" and the install fails.
    I then tried to reinstall the Microsoft patch that seemed to have caused the original problem, KB917422, which told me that a more recently installed service pack made this patch (KB917422) unnecessary.
    Bottom line: I can't run R&R.  And I couldn't find a Lenovo R&R update for my machine.  Any ideas please?

  • Rescue and Recovery 4.3 for Windows 7 Problem on T60p

    Rescue and Recovery 4.3 advanced mode doesn't communicate with my USB devices.  I want to rescue a number of files located on my USB backup, but the R&R never communicates with it.  No problem viewing it with Explorer. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    My Mistake!  I incorrectly assumed that the Rescue & Recovery update would allow me to restore individual files.  I neglected to read the install information text included with the download.  R&R does work, but doesn't permit access to any prior files.  Too bad.

  • Rescue and Recovery 4.21 problem: Restore System not working

    Hi,
    I've got the following problem: on Vista Business x64 I run RnR frequently to ensure a proper and recent backup in case my HD dies. Now I have a 2nd HD at home and wanted to try if the system restoration process is working like I expect it should - it doesn't!
    I save the Backup on a USB HD...
    I inserted the new, empty disk into the pc (removed the normal one) and booted with the usb hd connected. No problems starting RnR with the thinkvantage button and beginning the restoration. After quite some time it was finished and I was prompted to restart, which I did. Nothing happened apart from the PC claiming "NTLDR missing" or something. When I watched the content in Windows with the HD connected with a usb cable, it was partitioned in 2 partitions (as it should) but the content wasn't even remotely the same! I read in the forums that maybe the problem was due to a version upgrade from 3 to 4 and made a complete new basic backup and restarted the process. This time with even less success, there isn't even a "NTLDR" error message or similar and the HD is in a single "EISA Partitio". I don't even know what that is...
    So, how do I restore my System to another HD? It's really important that this works reliable as this is my computer for work and it would be terrible if data was lost!
    Is it even possible to back up the system reliable with RnR?
    Regards,
    Daniel

    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.

    Hi guys. After installing rescue and recovery on my laptop am shocked to see that on my primary drive it isnt there. It is very bothering. If my OS dies I need this to work.

    You just need to launch the R&R application itself. 
    Go to Start --> Programs --> ThinkVantage --> Rescue & Recovery 
    If it's at least ver 4.x, you'll see a simplified main interface with 1 button to backup and 1 to restore.  There should be a small link on the bottom left to Click on to go to the Advanced menu.
    When you go to the R&R advanced view and choose Exclude Files from "Advanced" on the menu bar, it should show bring up a  windows-explorer-like tree structure where you can select (put a check mark) in the boxes next to the folder and/or specific files you want to exclude from the backups. 
    From the same "Advanced" drop-down menu bar, you can select "Delete Backups" and then you'll see a list of your current backups.  Simply select the ones you want to delete. 
    The other person who posted a reply said that you can't restore if you've replaced your hard drive.  That's not exactly true.  You can save your backups to external media (CDs/DVDs or USB drive).   After you change out hard drives, you can restore from the saved backups that are on the external media.  

  • 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!

  • Recovering Rescue and Recovery data from a T61p with the GPU failure problem

    My t61p has the GPU (1 long 2 short beeps) problem described in another thread. Apart from getting the laptop fixed, which will take several weeks, I have a more pressing problem getting my data back from this laptop.
    I have been using Lenovo Rescue and Recovery religiously for the last two years to create monthly incremental backups on a USB drive. While I am trying to get my laptop repaired, I would like to at least recover my files from the backup and start working on a different machine.
    I was told by Lenovo support that the only way to get to the data is to connect the drive to another T61p, running the exact same version of Rescue and Recovery I had on my original T61p. For one, I have to idea what version of R&R  I had on my laptop. Secondly, I am in no position to get another T61p just to recover the data.
    I would have thought that there would be a version of R&R that I could run on any Windows machine, and recover the data, but apparently that's not so.
    Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can recover my data?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    the basic and most importatnt information, in this case is, that RnR can detect/read backups that have been captured using the very same version as you are using right now.
    So in case you captured your backup using version xx.xx.xxx1 you cannot restore, or recover your backup using the version xx.xx.xxx2. You need to us the very same version.
    As Win7 uses different version of RnR, this is the root cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • Problem in audio driver and unable to install rescue and recovery ver 4.3 -

    Dear community collegues,
    I have installed original windows7 home premium in my lenovo N100 series 0768-54A model y'day. Though every thing went well, the AC97 audio driver could not be installed. Can any one provide me a solution to make the audio working in Windows7 Home Premium.
    Similarly after new installation, I could not install rescue and recovery version 4.3 (windows7 compatible) in to the system, every attempt failed. Could any one provide a solution.
    thanking You.
    Sakthivelu V M Chennai

    I am not sure which audio chipset your N100 has, so
    Try this for sound:
    Go to THIS web page.
    Download Soundmax audio driver for Vista.
    Extract the files by double clicking, and note where they
    are being extracted to.
    Uninstall any sound driver you have installed, reboot.
    If windows says New Hardware Found, click cancel.
    Go to folder where downloaded drivers were extracted,
    and run Setup.
    If Soudmax drivers do not work, uninstall and repeat
    with the Realtek audio drivers.
    I do not think Rescue/Recovery will work except for
    the originally installed OS.

  • 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.

  • Rescue and Recovery Problem

    I have several backups to a Samsung 640 GB S2 Portable.
    When I try to delete the old backups Rescue and Recovery freezes and I can't delet them, though I can save new backups.
    Any suggestions?

    By the way, deleting the newest backup as suggested by GMAC-R60 makes no sense (why would you want to delete your NEWEST backup? That's the one you WILL NEED if something goes wrong as it has the most recent snapshot of your hard drive!)
    I would suggest you search this forum for how to delete R&R backups, it may not make sense to you but the only way is to delete newest first or you will not be able to delete them. don't take my word on it run a search in the knowledge base at the top of the page.

    You can only delete the most recent.  So, delete the most recent, and after that is done (which may take some time), delete what is then the most recent (but was formerly the next-to-most-recent). 
    (The backups are incremental, so you can't delete the oldest because it contains the original backup of everything, and then the newer ones only contain the changes since the previous one in the list.)
