Rescue and Recovery error on Windows 7

Just upgraded my ThinkPad T61 6460-D6G to Win7 Ultimate and after installing the new Rescue and Recovery software I get the following error message every time I back up my system to a USB external hard drive. "Back up did not completed succesfully"
However later on when I click on the "View all backups" button I see them all saved on the hard drive.
Any suggestions on how to eliminate this error message?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think there are discs available, however you can download and install the latest R&R software from here:

Rescue and Recovery -- Error 25011. A file required to install could not be located.

I have 2613CTO T60 with WinXP Pro SP3 and IE8.
RnR v4.21 is installed on my system.
I have downloaded this RnR v4.23 installation package -
tvtrnr423_017en.exe 227,523,448 (English) Rescue and Recovery 4.23 for Windows XP
but when trying to install an error occured with the following message:
Product: Rescue and Recovery -- Error 25011.A file required to install the Rescue and Recovery environment could not be located. This setup cannot proceed. Make sure that the correct .tvt file is located in the same folder as this setup package and restart this setup.
I also wanted to download this file to try installation again, but it missed indeed!
Moderator edit: Matched subject to question.

Download the full install file including all supported languages (449MB) instead of files by language. It worked for me.

Boot into Rescue and Recovery but not Windows

Everytime my pc is powered on or restarted, it boots into Rescue and Recovery, but not Windows.
What can I do?

Hi,
first I would like to explain one thing, so that we are on the same page with the RnR partition.
Vista and XP are using different RnR partitions and the location of these aprtitions is placed on the HDD is different way, so that it can be used in conjuction with your Operating system.
So in the time, where you have used the XP and OS, the RnR partition was placed in the partition table on the end/back. DIrectly after you upgraded to the Vista and did not made any changes to the RnR partition, than it is still on the end/back, which is not the corect way. Becase the Vista should use the RnR partition, that should be placed on the begind/start/in the front of all the other partitions.
So in case there was no change made to the RnR partition, like relocation, or reinstall using the Vista RnR version, then you will not be able to boot into it.
So here is what I would advice you to do:
- reinstall, or download and install the Vista version of RnR (the latest version) => this will rewrite the partition table and in case of need it will create the RnR partition.
- use bmgr32.exe , which is located on your HDD by default to rewrite the partition table. Please start it from command line in follwing way:
bmgr32.exe /phil
==> this will bring you all the command line options and you can use it based on this.
NOTE:
Plase note, that once you captured some backups using the XP version of RnR , or a different version of RnR, then it's not possible to restor the backups using a different version.
Simple: you must use the exact same version of RnR for backup and also for the restore process.
Let me know, if you have any more informations to this situation.
Cheers

Rescue and Recovery error

I have a Lenovo 3000 N200 system laptop, type 0769 and Model: BWG which has developed a problem. Initially the laptop could not start and Windows Vista failed to load. I was forced to initiate the Rescue and Recovery mode and tried to restore the system, but now once the laptop has gone through the system restore it freezes. I have had to disconnect and then replace the battery to force it to restart but it keeps going to the Rescue and Recovery window; and nothing happens.
Please could someone help me out on how I can solved this problem; or where I can request for system restore CD

Hi
Remove the harddisk and connected to another computer as an storage with external USB connection. When system find the new hardware, go to MY computer, Rigth click on driver (probably will be D:/ ) then click on properties. Click Tools, see error check and scan for errors, Run for it. Then re connected the harddisk on Lenovo. If this is solves the problem you are lucky.
If it is not. You need recovery disk sets.
You need to do same process one more time but this time, when you click on driver with rigth click, You will need to FORMAT the hardisk. You need to delete all data to RUN new program for LENOVO. I know it hurts, but I try many options, End of it, That was the process I am running again my computer now. Goodluck.

Need Help Installing Rescue and Recovery 4.3 Windows 7

Hi there,
So I'm having a strange issue installing Rescue and Recovery 4.3 on my TP T61. I keep getting an error message stating: "It is required to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x64) Service Pack 1 before you install the Rescue and Recovery program."
I have already installed C++ SP1. I've also tried installing/uninstalling it as well. Still no luck!
Here is a link to the installer:

Hi peednus,
The C++ 2005 SP1 installer you are trying to use is for x86 (32 bit). The error message you quote says it needs the x64 (64 bit) version. Try
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)
If you're really running a 64 bit Windows install, that should/might get you going.

Bitlocker & ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery on 64 Windows 7 Enterprise

Hi
I am attempting to setup ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 on a X300 ThinkPad with 64bit Windows 7 Enetrprise and BitLocker enabled. A installed ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 after turning on BitLocker, as stated in considerations in ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 readme file. When I press the blue ThinkVantage button and then F11, it starts ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4, but shortly after splash screen with life-belt appears the notebook restarts and BitLocker requires keyfile to continue. When I give it the key file it boots nomally. However if I restart and attempt to enter ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 again - the same story repeats, so I'm unable to use ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4. Then I disabled BitLocker encryption on boot drive, and ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 started to work normally, without touching anythnig else.
So, finally are Bitlocker & ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 4 compatible on 64 Windows 7 Enterprise? Any one having success with this combination?
Thanks, George

Its a known bug already reported by many thinkpad users running 64bit versions of Win7,Microsoft might issue a fix.If you want to report it to them

Rescue and Recovery error on recovery

I have a T61p running Vista Ultimate. My hard drive failed and I am trying to recover from my files backed up with Rescue and Recovery. I have a clean new hard drive so I have to boot from the backup drive holding the rescue information. The recovery starts but after about 10% completed I get an error message saying "There is insufficient disk space to complete the restore. The (C partition may have files that were partially restored or not restored at all. You must increase the size of this partition to complete this procedure." I first used an identical 500 GB drive to the one that failed and then tried to restore to a 750 GB drive. Same error comes up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't think there are discs available, however you can download and install the latest R&R software from here:

Rescue and Recovery error message

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can assist me.
I have a 3000 J series desk top computer that has a error message that comes up several times a day. It says Rescue and Recovery has failed and I need to click the site to upgrade Rescue and Recovery. I click it and the Lenovo web page comes up to the download page. I try to down load it and I get the error message " tvtiargot has stopped working. Do we need the Rescue and recovery or is this just a junk file that Lenovo puts on the computer?
Also how many memory ports are there in a 3000 j desk top? is there a way to find out without taking the cover off?

Lenovo J series has 2usb ports in the front and 2 in the back...If you need to use more a hub can be attached to one of the back usbports. Keep in mind one of the 2 ports in the back is used by the keyboard. Rescue and Recovery is notorious for not working properly in lenovo 3000J and thinkpad series. Some become corrupted and refuse to start..some are controled by Client Security..and sometimes will not open with the password or asks for one when you never created one. Beware...you delete Rescue and Recovery and you have a crash..you are toast ...The recovery disk that you make operates on the rescue and recovery format. It can be replaced by acronis..avail at staples..and more reliable ..but becareful about deleting the Rescue and Recovery program especially if you have enabled the client security...it is connected to the security chip in the bios..You many have to deactivate the chip first in the bios ..so you don;t get shut out of your computer....Addtitonal advise ..do not play sony/bmg music cd's in your lenovo..they can deactivate your cd/dvd drive as they contain a stealth program that can damage your system.
Other problems ..Roxio can severely slow down your system..and is most always a bundle sold with lenovo..You have to increase your virtual memory to almost 3000mb to speed things up..Upgrade your system to 2gb is you haven't already done so.. there are two memory slots...one is already occupied by 512mb memory chip..buy 2 1gb chips and put them in the slot after removing the 512mb. Open the cabinet...It is easy as changing a lightbulb.....good luck!

How to create Rescue and Recovery disc for Windows Vista Home Basic with G530 Lenovo Laptop?

Hi All,
I have purchased G530 Lenovo laptop 2 weeks back.
I coudn't find installation/recovery discs in my laptop box.
I went across the forums and came to know that it is not available now-a-days as it was coming previously.
So, anybody can help me, how to create a recovery disc?
This is needed when I format my laptop.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Umesh.

Click on what used to be the "Start" button and search for "create" or "recovery". It took me a while to find it but it is there.
Use a cd for the first disc and 2 DVD's for the other discs.

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

Ideas to improve the Rescue and Recovery System

Hi,
some weeks ago I ned to restore my system, while this process there was some difficulties with the Rescue and Recovery. But First my configuration:
I'm using a T61p with Windows Vista Ultimate installed.
On the System there are 5 Partitions
1. Rescue and Recovery
2. Windows Bootstrap
3. BitLocker Encrypted Windows Partition
4. Linux /boot
5. Encrypted Linux LVM
So, one morning I tried to start my ThinkPad and nothing worked anymore. After a Short time I found out that the boot sector of the windows bootstrap partition was corrupted. The Linux Partition worked fine and was startable with a GRUB CD-Rom.
Ich checked out the Rescue and Recovery system and was sad that I isn't possible to recover the boot sector of the bootstrap partition. The only way to rescue my system was to reinstall windows at all!
Thats a bad solution, because you can recover the boot sector with every OEM-DVD of Windows Vista, but this DVD is not available for a ThinkPad user.
So I backuped my files and reinstalled the system. While the reinstallation process rescue and recovery gives the option to install windows on C:. But on such a multiboot configuration it is not very clear what drive C: is. After some experiment I think he is taking the first parition after Rescue and Recovery or the first free space after it. At this place it would be much better if I can choose a parition for the installation.
So, if a Lenovo engineer is reading this, please think about to:
- Include some tools like boot sector recovering in the Rescue and Recovery system
- Adding a mode where you can choose the parition to install Windows.
Over and above that I'm really happy with my ThinkPad.
Thanks for reading.

Greetings,
This isn't so much a reply to Cobelius, or a solution, but a commiseration of sorts. Or at least an "I hear ya, buddy, I wish they'd improve some things about Rescue and Recovery, too."
I notice that no one else has replied to this thread. I hope at least that someone will read these posts, and pass 'em on to the appropriate developers.
Here's my story:
I am, overall, extremely happy with my brand, spanking new T500. So far, I'm only running a single OS, Vista Business 64.
However, I did make the following 'tweaks' to my setup, which brings out the flaws in the Rescue and Recovery software:
1) I used Truecrypt 6.1a to encrypt my system partition (leaving the original rescue partition intact)
(Side Note: Where my original drive C came with tons of empty space, I used DISKPART to shrink it a bit an created another primary partition as drive D. Hey, why the heck not? Originally, I wanted TrueCrypt to encrypt the entire drive, but this failed. Truecrypt said this was due to a hardware failure, but 20 hours of my life wasted scanning the drive with HDD Regenerator 1.51 revealed no bad sectors. So now Drive D is encrypted as an ordinary TrueCrypt container and mounted upon login. I'm okay with this solution, but if anyone wants to research why TrueCrypt couldn't do the whole disk, you have my thanks in advance.)
2) I bought a Maxtor BlackArmor(tm) hardware-encrypted USB external drive to use for my backups. I successfully used the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery tool to both create specific file backups as well as to image my entire drive C onto the BlackArmor device, once I mounted it (by running a built-in executable and supplying it with my secret password)
3) I set a Lenovo BIOS password for unlocking the boot hard drive.
So far, so good. I type the BIOS drive password, then theTrueCrypt password, and Vista takes over 12 minutes to become usable and, well, that's a Microsoft issue, isn't it?
But, here's the deal: WHAT IF I CAN'T BOOT FROM THE HARD DRIVE ANYMORE? Well, TrueCrypt made me create a bootable rescue CD which can restore my encrypted boot sector or permanently decrypt my hard drive. What it can also do is let me press the ESC key to boot without providing a password, which does a supposedly wonderful thing -- since it fails to boot my drive C, it takes me straight into the Lenovo Rescue And Recovery session.
The problem is, the Lenovo boot (version 4) takes me AUTOMATICALLY into a self-repair utility which wastes another 10 minutes of my time to finally tell me --d'uh-- that my boot sector is 'corrupted' (it isn't; it's merely ENCRYPTED by TrueCrypt. As it should be).
FLAW NUMBER 1: Rescue and Recovery should provide a default menu where automatic diagnosis is a CHOICE the user can elect not to make, or abort if it has begun.
FLAW NUMBER 2: You guys should enhance what appears to be a Vista PE environment (or BartPE, or whatever) with a few utilities, including an Explorer-like browser to examine the disk (which would snow nothing in my case, as my drives are encrypted), and a command prompt, and the ability to launch executables. The environment should also recognize USB drives.
As it happens, I used a third-party Vista PE rescue CD, Active@ Partition Recovery, to boot an environment having the utilities I needed. Using this tool, I was able to recognize a USB key that had TrueCrypt installed in 'traveller' mode (no windows registry keys needed). Running this app and providing my truecrypt password enabled me to unlock my Drive C, albeit by mounting it as another drive letter. This made it possible to read and write to my disk.
The encrypted Maxtor drive is visible, too, from this boot environment, but it appears as a CD-ROM drive, and yields no secrets until you run an executable file on it and enter the drive's password. And that worked, too. So I could find files to copy over to my hard drive, if I needed to.
However, in order to RESTORE files to my drive, I'd still need to be able to run Rescue and Recovery, or at least the Recovery portion. Which brings me to:
FUNDAMENTAL FLAW NUMBER 3: You need to create a Recovery tool that can run from within an external USB drive, without requiring shared .DLLs in various subfolders or windows registry entries. Lord knows, I certainly tried to copy RestoreNow.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery onto my Maxtor drive, along with whatever DLLs it called for, but it was hopeless. The damned thing just wouldn't run from the USB drive on the PE environment.
The way I see it, then, is that there really is no way to restore my hard drive should I suffer a catastrophic failure. Major bummer.
FUNDAMENTAL FLAW NUMBER 4: When I got my laptop, I created a series of recovery disks using the Lenovo supplied software. Booting with the first CD, however, only proved depressing, as I had to agree that the ONLY purpose for this CD was to recover my PC to factory-shipped condition. Which meant erasing my drive and restoring it with the contents of the other DVDs. But I want to restore what I backed up with Rescue and Recovery! My life SINCE the laptop shipped from the factory! Geez, Louise, why not let me choose to do THAT, too?
(Of course, the boot CD would need to allow me to execute the Maxtor program that unlocks my encrypted USB drive, and also let me execute TrueCrypt to unlock my hard drive.)
I sure hope someone forwards this to a developer who'll take it seriously, after s/he stops chuckling. You guys should just ship a usable Vista PE rescue CD with every laptop, I think. And a recovery-only tool that doesn't need DLLs or Registry Entries to run. It would help in so many ways.
In the meantime, I guess I'd better do all I can to ensure my laptop's hard drive doesn't die on me.
Again, other than for this teeny problem that "don't amount to a hill o' beans in this crazy world," I'm really happy with my T500.
Thanks for reading this, too. And happy holidays.

Rescue and Recovery Password not Accepted

There is a previous message with the same title but, it is marked solved. The solution does not work for my machine.
My ThinkPad T2300 (0768 -2UU) has crashed.
When I press F11, the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery 3 screen appears.
- I assume it is Version 3.
The Rescue and Recovery Workspace Logon window then appears. It has  the following fields.
- User Name: AutoFilled with my main ID (Jim).
- Windows Password: blank
- DOMAIN: Autofilled with Lenovo-xxxxxxxx
- Check box: "I forgot my Windows Password" It is grayed out!
When I put in my Windows Password, I get the following message. "Authentication failed. Please try again."
If I change to another id: Administrator, John etc. I get the following message. "The user has not been enrolled with the Client Security Solution. Only enrolled users may log on or recover their password/passphrase."
When I boot the machine, the best I can do is to get into DOS.   I have no passwords set in Bios. I have tried to remove the password with the following command  (C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\pe_masterpw_app.exe -remove) .   I have scanned my machine and cannot find "app.exe".
How can I fix this problem?

Hi,
based on the informations, that you provided, this looks, like if the RnR partition was configured as secure for your CSS application.
So here are the steps, on how to get rid of the password request:
- start into OS
- open CSS
- go to Advanced-> Manager security policies
- in this new window you will see on the left side the option "Log on to Rescue and Recovery". Please select it and on the right site you can choose the correct option, that you want to user. Or just dissable it.
Your situation is, that you, or someone have protected the RnR partition with the CSS security policy. The command, that you noticed, that is not for this purpose, because there are multiple ways on how to set a password into RnR partition:
1) useind RnR => this is the option, where the command "pe_masterpw_app.exe -remove" would help
2) using BIOS => this was only by older systems
3) using CSS => this is the situaiton, that you see. The main hint is the domain field, which can be only comming from CSS
Let me know, if this helps.
Cheers

Rescue and Recovery 4.52 - Makes Full Image Backups?

So, this may seem like a simple question to some, but I can not find a conclusive answer yet.
I have Lenovo's Rescue and Recovery 4.52 - Windows 7 (64 bit) for my Lenovo T540. Will Rescue and Recovery 4.52 create a full image backup such that if in the event my hard drive crashes, I can reinstall the entire operating system, programs, etc at one time, without having to reinstall individual software programs?
I just don't want to install Rescue and Recovery 4.52 because it is a large program, without it being able to do a full image backup.
Thanks

In my personal opinion, Rescue and Recovery is obselete. For Win7 and later, my advice is to use Windows built-in backup and restore. You can create both a complete system image (what you are asking about), and also backup individual files/folders in your libraries.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/backup-and-restore
Rescue and Recovery was great for XP and earlier OS when there wasn't any built-in backup and restore functions. But for Win7 and later, my advice is to use the OS built-in feature. Hope this helps.
