Rescue and Recovery to clone to Crucial Msata SSD drive Not Working Error

I have a T520 andI did a complete backup through Rescue and Recovery I did the back up to DVD. I then checked all the DVDs They all have data and are almost full. The T520 came with a Toshiba 500 gig HD, I have added a Crucial Msata 128 GiG, The T520 is running windows 7, and I have loaded the programs I use, and almost no data. The DVDs from the complete back up are marked as follows:
Final SP Backup
Startup Disk
1c
2c
3c
4c
Final Q
Final C
All DVDs are full I Take out the Toshiba 500Gig put in my Crucial Msata Drive Boot with the Startup Disk select complete restore select from CD/DVD The T520 Asks for all the disks Some are only used for a few mnutes then after I put in final C It says it is going to reboot select drive after reboot and then I get the error screen:
1. Insert Your windows installation Disc and restart your computer
2. Choose your language settings
3 Click Repair your computer
File: \windows\system32\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
The Selected Entry could not be loaded because the application os missing or corrupt.
When you receive a laptop from Lenovo they do not give you Windows 7 discs. So there is no way to do a srt. All I want to do is get the Msata drive to boot and run the os and all my loaded programs. This way it is faster and more efficient. Is there a simpler way. Please help I have only got about 40 hours into this mess. Thanks for any help from the experts.

I'm a bit confused about the process you are using and what you are trying to do.
If I understand you,
you currently have a working 500gb hdd with the operating system, your programs and your data.
You want to move your operating system to the mSATA drive and have your computer boot from there.
you have made a set of recovery disks using the Lenovo program. This is intended to restore your system to its original state (no data or extra programs)
Here are a couple of options
You can create a "backup and recovery" set of DVD's using the Windows built in programs (click the 'Start' button, then type 'backup' into the search box at the bottom) that will back up all of your system (OS, programs, data, setting etc.)
Use a stand alone program like Acronis to create a clone of your current disk
Thereafter
Remove your current 500gb drive from your machine
Install the mSATA drive
Restore whatever image you want (the Lenovo recovery, the Windows restore or the Acronis [or whatever program you used] image)
Reinstall your 500gb hdd and rename that drive to a letter other than 'C'

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.

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

Rescue and Recovery 4.21.0016.00 scheduler does not start RnR

The scheduler worked up to a year ago. Then it simply stopped operation. I tried different schedules - no effect. I changed the USB drive - no effect. I checked ...\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Scheduler\Tasks\Rescue and Recovery but I do not know ahich parameters to modify, eventually.
What can I do to re-activte the scheduler?

Hi,
please tell me, what exactly do you see, when you try to select the USB HDD as the backpu location?
Is this the first backup, that you want to place on the local HDD and also on the USB HDD?
Please note, that in case you already placed some backups on the Local HDD and now you want to add an USB HDD, as the storage place for the incremental backups, then you might have these issue, because the USB HDD was not selected from the start as the secondary backup storage location.
Back to your situation: please tell me, what is located on the USB HDD? Are there some files, and was there any kind of RnR backup made?
Sorry for that many questions, but I just want to make sure, that I understand this situation correctly so that I can optionaly try to reproduce this situation.
Here are some advices, that might help out:
- one of the recommendations when using RnR with USB HDD as a backup storage is to clear the USB HDD, format is, create a partition and clean this HDD. Once the First RnR backup is placed on this USB HDD, you can put back all your files on this USB HDD and can continue to use it as a backup and also as a File sotrage.
- please also go into the registry :
HKLM\Software\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\Settings\Backups
and make sure, that on the right side is the value of the "USBPartition Number"-key set to "1".
I have seen it sometimes to happen, that RnR could not detect the USB HDD, becasue this partition option want set to 0 or no value, which indicated to RnR that there is no option to use a USB HDD as a backup storage.
Pelase let me knwo, any update, so that I can try to help you out with this.
Cheers

T43: Recovery Discs are corrupt and Rescue and Recovery won't restore from the Hard Drive?

I recently created Recovery Discs in Windows XP, but when I insert Disc 2, it always says that it is the incorrect disc so I cannot continue the factory restore.
Now I'm trying to restore by booting into the Rescue and Recovery on my hard drive, but it cannot find the hidden factory partition on the hd. It also now says that the restore had a "convertion" error when it wouldn't recognize disc 2 and will not let me try to look at my hard drive to restore anymore. If I use the RR boot disc, it will let me try to restore, but it finds nothing restorable on the HD.
I did look at the hard drive and see 2 partitions with one being a IBM_SERVICE partition with 3.9GB total size and 2.9GB free space.
Please help, thanks.

Hi,
maybe somebody here could help me. i've totly lost the original partition of IBM on my T41 thinkpad. If somebody could advise me how do i get it back, i would appreciate it very much.
Thanks,
Shai

New Computer's 16gb mSATA caching drive not working

I bought a new custom HP ENVY 700xt Desktop pc with Windows 8.1 .  I got two, 1tb hdd's, and there was an option to addon a 16gb mSata ssd for caching, so I decided to get it.
 
I wanted to know for sure if it was working so i obviously googled the hell out of it and came to the conclusion...it's not working. 
 
I called HP's tech support only to be told that they don't troubleshoot 3rd party software (ExpressCache), which is needed for the 16g mSATA to work.
 
The disk is installed correctly and can be seen in disk managment.  
 
Basically there is a test your supposed to run as administrator in the cmd prompt, which is, " eccmd -info " .
That test should reveal how your mSATA cache drive is working. 
 
I get the message : "Product is not licensed to run on this system". 
 
I've searched all over for the error and how to resolve it, but can't find anything.
 
Please Help!  Thank you for your time.
 
Product name: 700-310xt
Product number: G5B62AV#ABA

Probably not a good idea to share case numbers here... I had the admin remove it, but I have it and will follow up.
Lets not get into RAID here - this has nothing to do with RAID.
ExpressCache is not an executable, but it runs as a service. The only way to see if it is running is to run the eccmd -info command and if you got Product is not licensed to run on this system... then we have a problem with the licensing and that needs to be fixed. This is a supported product both HW and SW.
I'll look up the details and get back with you as soon as I can.

hey davel12,
for you to restore your system, did you create a system recovery disc prior to the issue that you're currently having ?

Rescue and Recovery: Backup does not finish.

I very recently updated my Rescue and Recovery, now it runs version 4.21.12.0. When I do a backup, it does it just fine, but: After a message that the backup was done successfully, a message comes with a rotating hourglass, saying: "Finalizing backup, please wait..." This message stays forever and only goes away when I kill "Rescue and Recovery" with Windows' Task Manager. This did not happen with the previous version of Rescue and Recovery.
a) Does killing the Rescue and Recovery program at this point affect the actual backup files in a negative way? Or are they just fine, this being just a "cosmetic" problem"?
b) Is this my problem somehow, or a programming bug of Rescue and Recovery that should disappear with the next release?
Thank you for your help,
Wolfgang

hi there,
I have the same question as well. Just like you, I went to the task Manager, it states 'rescue and recovery running', then I did a right click, and go to its proces, I found out that the corresponding file "MsgBox.exe" have 00 value under CPU; and constant 6,496k under physical mem usage for hours, so I assumed that it will bea message box bug and shouldn't affect the backup dat. But again, I am not 100% sure. Guess i might wait for the answer as well.

Hidden Partition for Rescue and Recovery suddenly appeared on My Computer

Hello to everyone viewing this forum. I'm from the Philippines, and this is my first time posting in the forums. I bought my Lenovo 3000 N100 Notebook from Singapore, and it's over a year old now.
Well, we all know that the built-in ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery program gives us a last resort when our laptops fail, and we all know that the hard drive partition where it resides is in a partition that is hidden, right? Well here's my problem..
I encountered a Windows problem which made me use a borrowed Windows operating system disk to repair it (via Windows startup repair), as although I have created recovery media already, I still want to back-up my data before that. Now after I have gone through the Windows Startup Repair service, and when I logged on, I was surprised to see the supposed to be hidden partition now appearing in My Computer! And as if that's not enough, when I try to boot Rescue and Recovery via the Lenovo Care button, it doesn't work anymore! Neither can I make Rescue and Recovery medium (Create Rescue Media on the Internal Hard drive) as it gives the following error:
"The Files required for creating the rescue media cannot be found."
And when I try to make Rescue Media on a CD/DVD:
"An internal error has caused this process to fail."
I would like to ask all you kind people here for your help with this issue.
I'm considering backing up all files I need via the Rescue and Recovery workspace, but since I can't access R&R I'm considering manually backing up the files I need via external storage devices, and my another question is that would my Product Recovery disks still work even though I can't access the R&R partition? This is my reserve plan in case I won't be able to fix the issue about the not-so-hidden partition, and I wouldn't want to lose my factory install reserves in that case...
Hope for your prompt reply!

Rescue and Recovery Won't Open on My R61i Laptop

Computer: 2008 Lenovo R61i Laptop with Windows XP, SP 3, 2 GB RAM, Intel Duo Core processor, 34 GB free on the hard drive
I had been wondering why my 160 GB hard drive was filling up even though I only have 10 GB of documents, photos, and videos saved, so I downloaded a little program called windirstat, and it told me that 50 GB was being used for RRbackups. Google told me what that is, and I opened it and checked to see how many backups were there (it said 5, counting an initial "basic" backup). I attempted to delete the newest one, but I can't tell if the process finished, and now I can't get Rescue and Recover to even open. I have defragged my hard drive, I have tried it in SAFE MODE, nothing works.
Here are my questions and additional info:
Is the initial "basic" backup where the backup of the Windows XP operating system is located? (I'm guessing that if the answer is "yes," then I don't want to delete that backup.) The size of this backup is 36 GB.
If so, could that backup be moved to an external hard drive and still be usable?
I also have Go Back (keeps a compressed image of my hard drive on the same drive for restoration of files and reverting the hard drive to a previous status). I have used this program for years and would rather use it that Rescue and Recovery for incremental backups because it's automatic and updates more often.
I also now use Carbonite, so I may need to rethink how I should use R & R and GoBack.
I'm thinking that I would like to keep the R&R initial back for Windows files but tell R&R to not to any more backups, then continue to use GoBack and Carbonite.
The primary problem at the moment is that R&R won't open at all, so I can't delete any backups and I can't tell it to stop trying to do incremental backups. HELP!
Thanks in advance,
Jim King

Hi,
can you please describe, how did you tried to delete the RnR backup? Using GUI, or manually in the RRbackups?
NOTE: The files stored in the RRbackup are encrypted and each file has also a metadata file, that conatins the informations on the purpose of that one file and some other usefull informations for RnR so that the restore can work.
Here are the answers on your questions:
1) If I understand it correctly, then the answer is YES. In case you have placed all the RnR backups localy, then the basic/initial backup and also the other incremental backups are stored exactly in the RRbackups folder.
2) YES, you can move it, BUT not manually. You need to use the RnR GUI to copy/move the backup on a network drive, or USB HDD. You can read more about this option in the Manual for RnR (sorry I don't want to describe it in here, as this is a bit longer description). So please review following guide:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/thinkvantage_en/rnr43dg.pdf
Page 61 describes this process using the rrcmd.exe utility.
3) I think, this is just a note
4) same here
5) In this case, it's of course possible to keeep just the original/inicial backup. In case you don't want to do any other backups, then you just make sure, that you dissable the scheduler of RnR and don't do any other backups.
6) For this situation, the crucial point is, what did you deleted in the RRbackups. However, the first point, that I would do is to reinstall, or repair RnR. NOTE: Please use the same package, or the package, that is stored on your system. From Add/REmove programs.
Please let me know, if you have any add questions to this situation.
Cheers

Can't Uninstall Rescue and Recovery on my Lenovo 3000N100 laptop, using XP

Hi yesterday I tried to update to Rescue and Recovery 4.21, but didn't uninstall my previous version. However when I was trying to install the 4.21 it asked me if I want to replace this file with another and I said yes to all. When I did try to uninstall my old version it said installation source not available, try looking for Rescue and Recovery.msi . I tried that but same thing happened, so I deleted those .msi files, and now it says program program trying to use is on a network that is unavailable. I just want to uninstall it but I cant.
Before I even tried to update it, Rescue and Recovery wouldn't even open. It say the current version of Rescue and Rocovery on my computer is 3.01.1037.00. It also said last used was back in 06 and I know iv used and updated this program before that. Is there a way to uninstall this program without using the add/remove tool?? Is this fixable?

The only chance to perform factory recovery is if you have Lenovo_Recovery partition with several .wim files on that. But it seems they are absent. So contact with Lenovo support in your country and purchase recovery disks.

Can't install Rescue and Recovery on T410

Hi, I recently bought a reconditioned Lenovo T410 and have pretty limited technical knowledge, so I took the helpful advice of another member on the forum to perform certain actions to get myself set up. One of these was to create factory recovery discs using Rescue and Recovery. As this wasn't already installed on the machine, I have downloaded it (tvtvrnr4.52_005en.exe) but it won't install. I am getting the message 'Error 25014 There was an error installing the Rescue and Recovery boot manager. Return code: 6'. Any ideas about how to resolve it or an alternative way or creating recovery discs?

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,
Herb

Not able to start Rescue and Recovery

Unfortunately I have installed Windows Vista on my own, not using this Vista on my Service Partition. This Partition is not deleded. Now I want to install form this Service Partition. I have installed Rescue and Recovery. I am abel to start the Rescue and Recovery program using the blue button THINKVANTAGE while booting. I selected to get the factory-provided installation. The system reboots and then tells: Boot Disk Failure.
Once again: The partition isn't deleted.
I hope you can help me
Sincerly yours
Colin

Check out BIOS setup (boot mode). For using Recovery media that mode should be Legacy/MBR, not UEFI/GPT.

Lenovo rescue and recovery will not run a new backup

Tried several times to make a new backup using "rescue and recovery" (i've done this regularly over the years) .. But "rescue and recovery" freezes and then shuts the computer down. This has happened at least 4 times so far.
x201....3249-CTO....i7....4GB RAM....64-bit OS....Windows 7

1. What are the current and previous versions of R&R? When it was upgraded?
2. Did you have the such issue with previous R&R version?
3. Did you try to uninstall previous version and install the new one? Or reinstall the current version? How current vesrsion is upgraded from the previous one - manually or using System Update?
4. Was your OS version upgraded from previous one? I mean as an example XP -> W7
