Rescue and recovery problem with new SSD

Hello all,
i am new in lenovo forum.
Recently i got a new SSD, so i installed win 7 there. Previously i had win xp in my old HDD. The thinkvantage blue button worked fine with my previous configuration (win xp+old HDD). Now, when i try to install RnR 4.3 for win 7 i got this error message "error 25014. There was an error installing the rescue and recovery boot manager. Return code: 6". Can any one suggest how to solve it and use thinvantage blue button in win 7 with new SSD.
thanks in advance

  • Rescue and Recovery - problem with sceduled backups

    hello,
    I use XP on a T61, with all latest updates...
    It seems R&R does not complete sceduled backups or does not list the generated backup.
    today (sceduled every 1st of month) it started and works, may be 1 hour, but no new entry in the list of backups was generated ? during run no messages were displayed except because of some files which were not able to save by r&r. 
    It seems, same problem was on 1 of january - no backup or/and no entry in list.
    So I started another backup manually. this was ok and a now an new entry is in the list.
    Does anybody have an idea ?
    Could it be a problem with Norton Antivirus Protection ?
    thank you for any help!

    sorry i forget to mention that i an using  thinkpad T400. 

  • How to install "Rescue and recovery" on a new harddisk (T60)

    My T60 has a 60gb harddisk and I want to upgrade to a 160gb.
    I need to know how to install this rescue and recovery on the new disk.
    Can some one help me out here
    I can imagine for example to create this (hidden) partition with Partition Magic,  but how to continue ?

    Hello,
    Have you considered either cloning your old 60GB hard disk drive to the new 160GB model, or using your recovery discs to install a fresh copy of the operating system plus ThinkVantage utilities to the new hard disk drive?

  • Rescue and Recovery PROBLEMS

    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. How do I repair the boot environment on my T500 I have tried bootrec /fixmbr to no avail. It shows press f11 to boot recovery and them when I push it does nothing. Same with the blue thinmkvantage button. I am quote disappointed as this was also happening to my t61

    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.  

  • 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.)

  • Rescue and Recovery backup with external hard drive

    When I first backed up my computer to my WD 1 tb external hard drive using R&R, boot files were placed on the drive.  Recently, some files I had corrupted my external hard drive and I had to fully erase it.  Now, after making the drive recognizable again, I went to go back up my computer using rescue and recovery.  This time, it asked me whether or not I wanted to make the drive bootable, I said yes, but an error popped up saying I needed 1000 more mb, even though I had 931 gb open.  The backup started anyway, but it did not include any boot files.  Is there a way to make the drive bootable the next time I backup?  What is the difference between nonbootable and bootable?  Help? Thanks.

    I do NOT have a external Hard drive.  If you just zeroed the drive, it is blank.    Go into control panel,administrative tools, computer management, disk management.  See if you can get  a PROPERTIES of the external drive and post a Screen shot of that here.    This will show what partition(s) are there, Fat32 vs NTFS.  My experience is after you zero a drive, You have to boot your system, then use a Vendor (WD) standalone format utility or windows Disk manangement format, Make partition, etc.  The screen shot i need is the one that says: DISK 1  (d 298.09 GB NTFS 
    Healthy(active,primary partition).  This is what my 2nd drive, D, says. 1 partion on the drive.
    When i added my second hard drive, it was blank.  Booted up, BIOS recognized drive, Then i Formatted it with windows disk managment.  I then pointed R&R to take backups to that drive.  Create rescue media then made a Master boot record, install standalone R&R boots files, then took the backup.   This makes my 2nd drive bootable, should i ever care to boot my D drive up and have R&R standalone program in control.  Thus i have 2 bootable drives.  C boots into windows, D boots into the rescue and recovery standalone program.  I can also boot my C drive into R&R by hitting PF 11 at startup (bios) time. 
    Which version of r&r you have? Which version of windows? Windows 7 changed the way Master boot records are written.
    You can go into R&R, advanced menu,  create rescue media. Point to your External drive. WARNING. make sure the do not destroy existing  data block is checked.  IF YOU ARE brave, uncheck the destroy existing data.  This will erase everthing on the drive!!! <<Warning. And be sure NOT to  point to any drive you really love. 
    Buts lets  1st get the screen shot requested to make sure the drive is FORMATTED correcly. 

  • Permissions problem with new SSD boot drive

    I recently installed an OWC SSD drive as a boot drive on an iMac I've had for many years. I’m having some sort of permissioning error that I can’t figure out how to resolve.
    I’ve setup the SSD as the boot drive (created user named “Boot Admin”). 10.9.3. All data and files remain on my old spinning disk
    When the computer first boots, as expected, I’m presented with 2 users at the login screen (“Boot Admin”; Original User Account). If I choose my old user account, I receive the following error:
    "You are unable to log in to the user account “<name of original user account>" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred.”
    If I choose the Boot Admin user I’m able to login without issue as the Boot Admin user (no access to my original apps and data). At that point, I can choose Log Out from the Apple menu and then login using my old user account. When I follow that sequence, I’m able to login with no issues. Apps are there, data is accessible etc. I can enjoy the speed of the SSD.
    Although, if browse within Finder to the Boot Admin user on the hard drive, none of the folders are accessible (the little red icon is on the folders). Similarly, if I boot straight into the Boot Admin user and browse to my original User on the hard drive, none of its folders are accessible!
    I am at a loss on how to troubleshoot. Ideally, I would like to login in directly to my old user account (eliminate the 2 step — login to Boot Admin, log out, login to Original User) and have full file access to things within both the Boot Admin user and my original user account.
    Any guidance or tips on how to troubleshoot? thanks in advance

    I appreciate the continued assistance. I'm clearly overlooking something and Google is not my friend! I've tried.
    At the expense of repeating myself, I'll share my current configuration:
    10.9.3
    2 hard drives (new SSD with name "Boot Drive" and original spinning disk "Macintosh HD")
    Startup Disk in System Preferences is "Boot Drive"
    "Macintosh HD" has 3 User Folders: bootadmin, jayelevy, shared
    jayelevy is my home folder - all my documents are in tact
    bootadmin has the normal home folder structure
    "Boot Drive" has 3 User Folders: bootadmin, jayelevy, shared
    jayelevy is empty; no folders
    bootadmin has the normal home folder structure (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, etc), but each is empty with the exception of Movies and Pictures. I've moved my Aperture databases to these 2 folders to take advantage of the speed of the SSD
    When I restart the iMac I'm presented with 2 user choices: jayelevy and bootadmin
    If I initially select jayelevy, I receive the error mentioned at the start of the thread
    If I initially select bootadmin, I can login without issue, but get the standard Mac desktop (not my home).
    If I then log out of bootadmin (not restart, but logout) and then choose jayelevy, the signin completes successfully and my desktop/home folder is restored to it's normal and expected condition.
    I am still trying to avoid this step of login/logout/login.
    I imagine I'm overlooking the obvious, but I'm in uncharted grounds for me! Here I thought the hardware swap to replace my optical drive with SSD would be the hard part. That was simple! I've stumbled on the software side!

  • Boot Problem with new SSD Drive on CQ60-409SA

    I have just replaced my HDD with a new Sandisk 120GB Extreme 11 SSD.
    All went OK with no problems installing Win 7 Ultimate and much faster search time, etc..
    The problem I have is that when I boot the laptop from cold, i.e switch it on for use, the SSD is not recognised and I just get a Black screen with Flashing cursor top left corner, but if I then press Control-Alt-Delete, the system Reboots, and then boots into windows no problem.
    I am trying to find out if I can Access BIOS Advanced Options, if I press F10 during boot I only get Options like Change Boot order, and not more Advanced Option to change Drive parameters, etc... and F2 does not run Diagnostics for SDD.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am very pleased with the performance increase the SSD drive gives to Windows and Boot itme except for having to boot twice.
    Best regards,
    This question was solved.

    No worries.
    What year model is your notebook?
    About your request for the Advanced options, unfortunately that is not possible with a BIOS supplied by HP.
    You can, if you don't mind taking the risk, go to a BIOS Mod forum and look for a modified BIOS for your notebook there. The modified BIOS will have advanced options.
    Have you tried the Solution and Update finder on the Support download drivers page for your notebook? It says that it will find missing drivers.

  • Problems with new SSD. 1.5Gbps negotiated speed

    Hey guys
    Just installed a new Corsair Force 3 SSD, and am having problems.
    Speed will only negotiate at SATA I speeds, instead of SATA II. I have a mid 2010 white Macbook, EFI version 2.0. The nVidia ACHI version is 1.30, and the SSD itself is on the 1.3.2 firmware that corsair has.
    Anyone got any ideas why this is? I thought there may have been performance issues when Snow Leopard took about 30 minutes to install, Lion upgrade about 15-20, and then a time machine restore of 60GB worth of data took about 30-45 mintues, but the bar only progressed halfway and all of a sudden said it was done.
    Thanks.

    Found this on OWC's site. This may help some people having trouble with the 1.5 Gigabit limitation on their SSD. It's what happened to me. I bouth OWC's 6G and now need to return it for the 3G, which will interestingly be faster on my old 5,3 model.
    2008 MacBook Pro 15" (MacBookPro 5,1; 5,2; 5,3; 5,4; 5,5 and MacBook 5,1)
    While a 6G SSD does function in a 2008 MacBook Pro 15" and 13" Macbook, it will only do so at SATA Revision 1.0 (1.5Gb/s) speeds rather that the SATA Revision 2.0 (3.0Gb/s) speed the machine can deliver. Should owners of these machines desire another SSD option, the Mercury Extreme Pro 3G SSD does run at the full SATA Revision 2.0 (3Gb/s) specification.

  • FCPX and speed problems with new external hard drive

    Hi All,
    I have just bought a new Thunderbolt drive.   I created a very large disk image partition to separate my fcpx files from other iTunes type files - but strangely FCPX is now operating slower than it ever did when I was using 800 firewire.
    Any thoughts on why this might be the case?  I have encryption on the disk image (but it is the minimum amount). 
    Also - FCPX hangs regularly (when I go to Finder it states that the app is not responding) but then after 1 min, is back.   The whole environment is now less stable than when i was simply using  a 800 firewire drive with a disk image.
    All OS and FCPX is up to date.
    Any suggestions/comments appreciated.
    Best,
    R

    Hi Jim,
    Thanks for the tip.  I ran the app (quite a nifty app at that) and my speed tests for the main drive are Read 133 mbps and Write 137 mbps.  Which is not as high as I would expect for a Thunderbolt drive - does this sound right?
    Anyhow, I ran the same test on the Disk Image. And something is definitely wrong.  Read 1.4 mbps and Write 1.5 mbps
    Now I am scratching my head about this hard drive.   It is a single partition - nothing fancy.  Only this large Disk Image that is for media.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Best,
    R

  • Rescue and Recovery: No backups available for "local hard drive" with Full Restore

    I can see all my backups in "view all backups" and can restore individual files, although when I select the option for "full restore", it reboots my PC and brings up the Rescue and Recovery interface which gives me the option for "full restore".  When I select "full restore", it asks me to select the source.
    As my backups are stored on my local hard drive, I select that source, however the scroll box is empty (no backups available for selection).
    Can anyone recommend a solution to fix this problem, or should I remove and re-install Rescue and Recovery, then create new backups (and hope they appear in the list for full restore)?
    I am running Rescue and Recovery 4.21.0016.00 on a Lenovo T61p with XP SP3.
    Thanks.
    Gary Grathen

    Also, I have RnR 4.00.0117.00.  
    Where do I find and how do I delete these massive files?

  • How to use the rescue and recovery, and the product recovery discs ?

    Hi everyone,
    I've just recently became a new owner of a T61, and really enjoying it. I haven't had a chance yet to test-drive the lenovo phone support, as I have not yet screwed anything up that bad that required their help. I did try a clean factory reinstall from the service partition and it worked great. I would like to find out, how does one use the rescue and recovery startup disc, and the product recovery discs that I created myself? From my previous experience with Dell and HP, I only had to insert the first one and restart the computer, and the rest followed. But with ThinkPads, if I ever wanted to bring it to a clean factory state using those discs, do I use rescue and recovery first, followed by the product recovery? I'm curious, what is the difference between the two?

    Hi! I'm blake
    There is no diff between the two... One is on  the Hard Drive and the other on CD/DVD.
    Having the HDD version (pre-installed) is a good for trouble shooting.  It uses a whole diff O/S on a whole diff partition (not C.
    So if you are having problems and boot to RnR (via F11), and those problems go away. you know your issue is software related. If you still have the same problems probly Hardware related...  IT IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO TAKE WINDOWS OUT OF THE PROBLEM.
    Other then that. You can re-image another HDD from disks, you can't do that with the F11 version.
    dose all that make sense?
    Hi blake_ibm,
    Thanks. All this makes perfect sense to me, but that's not what I'm asking for. My question is this: if I wanted to bring my notebook to its factory shipped condition using my recovery cd's, how do I do that? Do I insert cd1 first and then restart the notebook, or do I just insert it without restarting it, or perhaps I should use first the rescue and recovery?
    You said that there is no difference between the two, but what two are you talking about man? I am not comparing cd recovery to partition recovery. I am talking about rescue and recovery cd, with system recovery cd's. These are the two things that I'm talking about.
    I'm really grateful for all replies, but please people, read the question first !!!
    I would really appreciate if someone could explain the steps involved in performing a clean factory recovery, using the cd's, and not the recovery partition. I just want to know for the future, in case one day I have to do it. That is all I'm asking.

  • Rescue and Recovery 4 DOES NOT RESCUE/COPY LARGE FILES?!

    Hello all,
    Thank you in advanced for helping me out/any helpful advice you may have.
    System:
    Windows XP Professional
    T61
    4 GB RAM
    2.50 Ghz Dual Core Intel Processor
    120 GB Hard Drive
    140m nVidia Quadro video card (256 MB available memory I believe)
    Problem Summary:
    I ran into the unlucky computer problem of having a Microsoft.net framework addon for Firefox 3.5.3 result in a fatal interaction leaving me unable to boot up in both safe and normal mode. If you do have this addon, please uninstall it NOW, so that it does not happen to you. There is no current fix or patch for it as far as I know. Luckily, I have the (formerly) fantastic Rescue and Recovery 4 to backup my files and fix things.
    So in sequence of what I did:
    Tried several different attempts to fix problem to no avail (via google searches on the Rescue and Recovery Browser)
    Decided that it would be best to just reformat the drive and start a clean install.
    I had not done a real back up recently (several months due to my own carelessness and being busy).
    I chose to do a full factory restore using the 'Rescue My Files' option, since I had never done a backup using the included Lenovo Software, I usually just ran my own manual ones in Windows.
    To be on the safe side, I just decided to transfer my entire hard drive directory 'C:' to my 500 GB External Western Digital Hard Drive. I know I didn't really NEED all the files (like program files I would just need to reinstall anyway). I just wanted to return my computer to how it was as fast as possible.
    Rescue and Recovery registered as copying all my data (rougly 50-60 GB) of data to my external USB Hard Drive.
    I then unplugged my External USB Drive From the computer once it said it was complete. Rescue and Recovery proceeds with the factory restore.
    Things are going well, factory restore is successful, no problems yet.
    Once Windows was functional again and I had remade my usernames and settings just as it was before the crash, I plugged in my External HD again to restore my files.
    Every file that I copied was there EXCEPT FOR MY MOST IMPORTANT ONES. It appears the directory, 'C:\Documents and Settings\Justin\My Documents'
    AND
    'C:\Documents and Settings\Justin\Desktop'
    DID NOT COPY. I DID A DOUBLE CHECK, and the program said that all files had transferred successfully and I saw the directories on the USB Hard Drive in the Rescue and Recovery View. (I did not do a double check on another windows computer with my USB Hard Drive, however as I did not have access to one at the time and I was trusting in the Lenovo software, which did actually manage to rescue all the files, except for my most important ones.)
    Is there anyway way that:
    That because these files were so large (probably account for 50% of all data copied to my external USB Drive or 10-15 GB a piece), that the Rescue and Recovery file simply "passed over them"? The other files appeared to copy perfectly fine.
    There was an error with the program, like a file size limit cap that Rescue and Recovery cannot surpass so they were just skipped over?
    My own carelessness? Are all the root files not selected when you choose the entire 'C:' Drive as a directory? I did just choose to copy/rescue the entire 'C:' Drive and everything else (besides my two most important files) seemed to copy over so I do not beleive that this is the case.
    I did not individually, select each file in the 'C:\Documents and Settings' because I assumed that it would select each of the root files within it. (Is that not the case?)
    That the files are 'hiding' somewhere due to their large size?
    Most importantly of all:
    IS THERE ANYWAY THAT I CAN RECOVER MY DATA? There is about 2 years worth of photos, music, documents, etc. that I would like to have back that I do not have a recent back up of. 
    If anything, does anyone know WHY this happened? It was my understanding that Lenovo Rescue and Recovery was some of the best software for emergency crashes out there. And now it has failed me miserably. I'd at least like to know why it happened so that I may not repeat my mistake (or put too much faith in Lenovo) for the future.
    I've run some data recovery software but I know it will not recovery all the files that I once had in their state before my hard drive was reformatted back to factory settings.
    Thank you,

    Hello , and ARGH !
    I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM RIGHT NOW !
    If anybody could help this would really be appreciated .
    Here is the story
    Lenovo SL500
    Windows XP SP3 I think
    Specs maybe not too important
    My computer has some corrupted file and will not boot in normal or safe mode . When I try to do either , it starts booting , but before it finishes the load-up-windows screen , it displays an error message which says 
    " lsass.exe - System Error
    the endpoint format is invalid "
    and then goes no further , and the machine simply restarts itself again and would do this indefinitely if I didn't stop it .
    SO when it starts booting and shows the Lenovo Logo , I press the Lenovo Help/Tool Button to enter Rescue and Recovery [not sure what version it is , I cannot find information within it] and it gives me the option to Rescue files before recovering the system . I have the same problem as Nofeet3.
    It rescues all the small files
    BUT WILL NOT RESCUE ANY OF MY IMPORTANT FILES
    CERTAINLY IT DOES NOT RESCUE ANYTHING BIG [or bigger than roughly 2mb]
    It rescues picture files BUT WILL NOT RESCUE MUSIC FILES !!
    It may not even rescue bigger picture files , but I haven't noticed any pictures it has not copied since I can't go through ALL my picture files to see exactly what it has / hasn't copied.
    However , not a single music file is copied.
    It will NOT show up on the hard drive . What is strange , is when I try to plug the hard drive back in to try and copy the music files again , as I tried it a few times , it asks me if I would like to Write these files over the files already there , as though it has already copied. I check the hard disk , and these fils have definitely NOT copied onto the Disk . They are nowhere to be found .
    I don't think the files are hiding , but if they are , maybe somebody could tell me where.
    I suspect though that Rescue and Recovery has "recorded"  the files as having been copied , some kind of record , EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVEN'T !! Or if they have , they are absolutely invisible . WEIRD !
    nofeet3
    It is NOT because you selected the whole C drive , and is not due to any carelessness on your part. I have selected all files individually , and have tried time and time and time again , when I plug the ext hard drive into my other laptop to see if the files copy , they don't . I have tried this over and over and over again desperately all today , it is not working , even going so far as to select individual files rather than bigger directories to try and transfer in smaller in smaller batches ,just in case it couldn't handle large transfers all at once . That is not the case either . It just simply will not transfer files roughly bigger than 2mb . NO MUSIC !! THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING !!
    I am not sure at present whether this program can rightly be called "Rescue and Recover". It is one of the main reasons I selected Lenovo  , and this is not a good demonstration of it's abilites at all .
    PLEASE HELP ME !!
    ANY HELP WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED !!
    Thanks so much in advance for any help anybody can give , and best regards ,
    Carl .

  • T61 Lenovo Rescue and Recovery BSOD

    Hi,
    I've got a problem booting into the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery partition.
    System is a T61 (64665DG) with Rescue and Recovery 4.21.1016.00
    I receive the following BSOD message:
    A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage.
    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
    Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.
    Technical information:
    ***STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D6528,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
    It seems to be a problem with the AHCI controller not being supported. When I switch the SATA Controller Mode from AHCI to Compatibility in the BIOS it then successfully boots into the Rescue and Recovery environment.
    Why is it missing the correct AHCI driver? It used to work fine with the older version of Rescue and Recovery in AHCI mode. Is there a fix available for the Rescue and Recovery software to allow you to run it without having to put the SATA controller in AHCI mode?

    Thanks both for your replies. The inability for it to boot the Rescue and Recovery partition in AHCI mode persuaded me to examine the contents of the partition for anything obvious amiss. Using Linux I was able to mount the FAT partition and have a nose around. In the /minint/system32 directory it's got a number of sub-directories for the Intel Iastor driver - that used to access the HD in AHCI mode. I couldn't find any reference to that in txtsetup.sif and the winpeoem.sif file was empty. After some Googling I found out that you can easily load additional mass storage drivers using winpeoem.sif.
    IBM have a program called rrutil.exe that allows you to access the RnR partition from within Windows, it's part of the Rescue and Recovery Administrator Tools.
    To modify winpeoem.sif first install the RnR admin tools and open a command prompt window in the install location - C:\SWTOOLS\TOOLS\Z652_Admin016. Make sure the C:\Temp directory exists and is EMPTY - this is very important. You then need to create a "getlist.txt" file:
    echo \minint\system32\winpeoem.sif > getlist.txt
    retrieve the file from the RnR partition
    rrutil.exe -g getlist.txt C:\Temp
     type
    notepad C:\Temp\minint\system32\winpeoem.sif
    and paste in
    [Version]
    signature="$Windows NT$"
    [OemDriverParams]
    OemDriverRoot=""
    OemDriverDirs=IASTOR
     upload the changes with (this will write everything from Temp to the RnR partition!)
    rrutil.exe -p C:\Temp
    Or you could just modify /minint/system32/winpeoem.sif directly in Linux without messing about with the rrutil.exe.
    With this small modification to winpeoem.sif I was able to successfully boot into the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery partition with AHCI mode enabled. I haven't tried reinstalling windows xp with this fix.

  • 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
