Rescue n Recovery wont get me any fresh backups...

I have two earlier backups but now my lenovo 300 n100 doesnot give me any fresh backup.
It starts but then application hang error appers that There's a problem with RnR; send error report/ debug and terminates.
After few moments it says backup couldnot be completed.
Help Please. If i want to reinstall RnR how that can be done?

It's an NTFS permissions issue. You have to add yourself to the list of allowed users first, and then delete it. If in Windows, right-click on the folder, choose the "security" tab, under "Group and user names", click "Add", in the new window that opens type your login name into the "enter the object names" form, and click "check names" button to the right of it (which will change it to the right format). Click Ok. Now you should be able to go back to "security tab" and make sure you have "full control" in permissions. Now you should be able to delete the folder.

Use Rescue and Recovery to get back to factory settings?

Hi,
I want to restore my X220 laptop with Windows 7 to the factory settings. A while ago I got rid of a trojan and ended up losing some important DLL files, and I don't have a Windows restore point from before the trojan.
I clicked on the Lenovo Recovery (Q) drive. I then clicked "Create Recovery Media." However, I got the error Windows cannot find 'C:\. . . recovburncd.exe'. I read elsewhere in this forum that this means I should have created a recovery disk before I installed Windows.
I called the Lenovo technical support, and told them that I downloaded Rescue and Recovery and asked if I could access the Q drive through this software. I said I planned to "Create Rescue Media." They said this was the right way to do it.
So, I clicked on Create Rescue Media and used a DVD. However, when I looked at the contents of the DVD, I couldn't tell whether I had accessed the Q drive. What do I need to look for to verify that I have the correct content and am ready to reinstall Windows and the rest of the factory-origin software? Do I next use "Restore your system from a backup"? When I click "View all backups" there are no backups found because I haven't made any. Do I also need to use the "Backup your hard drive" tool? I can see the option to include the Q drive in the backup, but I cannot see a way to only backup Q.
My main concern is not to wipe the computer and then find out I don't have the right software ready to install because I use this computer for work everyday. I do have a backup system for all my files, so I will be ready to put those back on the computer after reinstalling Windows 7.
I appreciate your help.

If your factory shipped system was win 7, you should still have the recovery partition.
If your factory shipped system was Vista, and Install win 7 on top of it, you DO not have a recovery partition with 7 (it has vista). I dont think this is your case. RNR v 4.5 will NOT install if a vista recovery partition is present.
PF11 at boot up time, and go into RNR standalone. You should see an option for a Factory restore. You MIGHT have to go several layers into the RESTORE my system screen to find this option. You MIGHT find a factory restore option on the RNR windows platform (buried in a restore panel) , but I would l Not expect it. Boot into rnr standalone.
==
The recovery burncd.exe is a misleading message. It probably should say YOU HAVE already taken a factory recovery backup(you can only do this one time After factory restore, you can do it again).. I will post a link to another post on how to fix this.
====
CREATE rescue media is just a Standalone RNR. 1 DVD, no Q partition. It will boot up and act like standalone rnr(pf11). It will offer a factory restore option if it finds the Q partition.
Standard Take a back up now with RNR is just a backup of the C (and maybe q). You do not need to take this backup as your C drive is not in good shape. and Q is already available to use.
====
Create Factory recovery is a backup set of 3 dvds to REstore the Q drive back onto a hard drive. After restore of Q it will start a factory install. Running the 3 dvds WILL erase the whole drive. DVD 1 is boot, 2 and 3 are data.
Rescue= backups of c
Recovery=Factory restore of Q partition.
In a couple of days, after you get your factory restore done, use the Create Factory Recovery set to DVD. takes 3 dvd. This can be used in 4 years to repopulate your HDD (q drive) after your current HDD fails due to hardware error.

Link to several posts to reset the DONE.ini from 1 to 0 in Q partition.

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.

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.

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

Failed rescue and recovery installation

Hi.
I had a hardisk failure on a T42. I bought a new (IDE) hardisk and ordered the Rescue and Recovery CDs from IBM.
I got the CDs, but when I try to restore the system to its original setting - restore factory contents -(following the instructions that came with the CDs).
The recovery process stops right after step 8. (accept the terms and conditions). In reality it starts to copy some files and then it stops and display the following message.
I get an error message stating:
There was an error during initialization.
Therefore It does not even let me go further than the Startup disk of the rescue and recovery CD set.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance for the help.

247prods, welcome to the forum,
I would suggest running Hitachi Drive Fitness Test from bootable cd, therefore testing both drives at once. It maybe that a corrupted hard drive is the cause of your problems?
If everything is OK, disable the Pre-desktop area in BIOS (Security > IBM Pre-desktop area) and run Secure Data Disposal at its lowest level without writing reports to disc, this will remove everything from the hard drive. Then try the recovery cds again.

Rescue and Recovery failed destination network location can no longer be reached

W510, running Windows 7 Pro SP1, updated with ThinkVantage including BIOS 1.37 along with Rescue and Recovery 4.31 yesterday. Using Backup locations "Local hard drive" had not problem, but when it was set to "Network", it gave me "The backup failed because the destination network location can no longer be reached.". Prior to running RR, I manually mounted the shared drive on W510 and could read and write files. The user that mounted the shared drive was not "Administrator" but has Administrator privilege. The network shared drive was a folder on an Windows XP SP3 computer.The shared drive had Full Control granted to Everyone as well as for Sharing. I rebooted W510 before starting RR. After the "network location can no longer be reached" error popped up, a long while later, RR actually wrote some files in the shared drive and then finally it aborted. It created on the shared drive RRBackups\SZ\<UUID>\... (among other folders and files); under <UUID> there's a common\rr.log with:

Sun May 22 02:04:48 2011 RescueRecovery: CreateSpecialBackupFolder: szBackupFolder= C:\RRbackups, szMidiumFolder = C:\RRbackups\SZ
The events don't make sense:
a) Why would RR says "network location can no longer be reached" - the wording suggests that it was OK, but now it isn't.
b) The br_funcs returns Error 0x501 (NOT_IMPLEMENTED or NOT_SUPPORTED), but RR still attempted to call mapdrv.
c) Apparently mapdrv was successful otherwise it shouldn't try to delete the t0.dat on the shared drive (which didn't exist - hence Error 3 (PATH_NOT_FOUND)) and unless it has reached the remote computer, it wouldn't know the file wasn't there.
I'm curious to find out if anyone has run into this problem and how to fix it.

It errored out after it has already created some folders and files as indicated in the first post.Tried the same steps several times just make sure it was repeatable by closing Rescue and Restore app and starting it again. The network between the share host and my W510 was a direct RJ45 cable connection, so zero hop. In the end I used Windows 7 Backup and Restore to do full backup, using the same \\server\sharename, the network share was mapped without a problem. But then Windows 7 Restore CD wasn't able to map network share - giving me 0x800704cf. Googling shows lots questions raised on this but no fix.
Update:
Last night, I gave it a shot again. For some reason, RR was able to mapped the network share using \\IPaddress\sharename (this time I used a different folder and a diferent sharename). OK great, but after 10 hrs it's at 88% completion, did my math, estimated elasped time is 12 hrs, Wow! The image backup with Windows 7 Backup took 5 hr 51 min with 132GB in the WindowsImageBackup folder. RR is 2x slower!
On the other hand, as it's still running, the est. backup folder size is 106GB. RR does a better job in compression - a 20% reduction in size compared with Windows' at the cost of 2x time.
Going back to the Windows 7 Restore CD 0x80704cf error when mapping the network share, found an Internet user posting that he succeede by providing a NIC driver.

Rescue and Recovery will not install on Windows 7 upgrade

I have a thinkpad SL500 that I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 a week ago. I have tried to install Thinkvantage Rescue and Recovery but get this error message during the initial install: "Rescue and Recovery does not support installing from the operating system which upgrade from legacy preload system."
I did load Win 7 32 bit from a legacy Vista preload system. I have been trying to install R&R v4.5. Is there a workaround to get ThinkVantage R&R on this Windows 7 machine? Thanks, John

Win 7 does come with it's RE environment. On my pc I can:
(1) boot into windows 7 (default)
(2) PF8 boot windows into Safe mode, which will allow me to Launch the Windows recovery environment. This is
mostly a Repair environment, but can invoke other items, such as Windows restore. This is NOT an restore from backup tool , per se.
(3) PF 11 boot into RNR standalone environment.
All 3 have Bootable software on my C drive, and entries in the BCD (boot control data). Could you document what your pc/laptop was shipped with from Lenovo. An original windows vista or windows 7? A shipped Lenovo, with win 7,should have a Z partition and a X partition. One has the RNR standalone, the other has the Factory install data to reset back to OBE, out of the box experience.
Did you purchase a WIN 7 DVD upgrade disc from a retailer? Could you also post a screen shot from Disk management that shows the attributes of the D drive. I am trying to find out if the D drive is Active
Check under the status line, HEALTHY(Active,primary partition). Did you try the Diskpart command?.
You do not need to worry about SYSPREP. It is mainly an Administrator tool for deploying system images.
By the button, do you mean the Thinkvantage blue button? This just tells the BIOS to boot into the RNR standalone environment. My original system was a Vista. Thus I have no experience verifying the X and Z drives. This info is just from reading other posts.
===
As a side note, Does your win 7 support Bitlocker? Can you view the contents of YOUR D drive?

Rescue and Recovery not recognizing USB DVD writer on X200

I have a SAMSUNG SE-S084B USB CD/DVDRW that reads/burns DVD-R ok in ImgBurn. I already have backup made on the hard drive by RR.
I tried to use the Rescue and Recovery Advanced mode -> menu-Advanced -> "Copy backup from hard drives" to make a set up of backup on the DVD-Rs. However, RR doesn't recognize my USB DVD writer, and therefore I cannot proceed the backup.
Please advise how to make backups on a DVD for Thinkpad X200. Thanks a lot!

I got it!
You just need to be patient. It can take up to two hours.
I wasted about 30 minutes in the fine quality customer support of inner-city Atlanta just to be told it takes that long. 30 minutes.
I am extremely unimpressed with Atlanta customer service, and the rep's advice after 25 minutes was that he was going to send me a couple more recovery disks! He had no idea about anything I was talking about. I complained to the manager who finally told me to just wait. However when I complained to him he thought it was a joke.
Customer service in Lenovo, especially their Atlanta location is a farce. You're welcome for me having to sit through that.

Rescue and Recovery with only one partition, what will happen? Thanks!

Hello, everyone! This is my question: If I do a clean installing of Windows 7 with only one partition(the C and I install the Rescue and Recovery tool, when I make a backup of the system by using the Rescue and Recovery then the backup file will be stored in the partition C:. So when I restore the system with the backup file later, if I can succeed and what will happen? Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Backups and restores will still work. The risk is if something happens to your hard drive, then you would lose the backups as well. For this reason it's a much better idea to store your backups somewhere else, such as USB hard drive or network.

Thinkvantage Rescue and Recovery - old backups still showing in R&R

When I initially set up my network and installed Rescue and Recovery, I created a network share that I did my backup to. I reconfigured my network and deleted the network share (and the subsequent backup data) outside of Rescue and Recovery and did not delete the backups from within Rescue and Recovery. Now, my problem is that R&R still thinks that those backups are supposed to exist and when I do a Delete Backups, they show in the list, but I cannot delete them. If this were the only issue (showing in the list) I would just write it off as an annoyance. The issue I have is without that network share defined and active, when you start R&R it appears to hang for several minutes and does not appear to be starting - after a few minutes, it pops up a window asking to define the network path.
Before I try uninstalling and re-installing (which I think I have done at least once), is there a way to clean up R&R and what it thinks about this network share and the subsequent backups?

Please take a look at this thread. I'm not 100% sure it's exactly what you're looking for, but may point you at the right place to look.

Issues with a T61 harddisk, UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME, cannot also get in the Rescue and Recovery

Dear Lenovo Support Community,
I have a T61 with XP pro on it. This is the history of my harddisk problems with it:
(the harddisk is HDD0 Fujitsu MHW21160BJ G1 and everything in laptop (HW and SW) are same as the factory sold one)
1. Unfortunately I had not made any recovery cd/dvd when the computer was healthy
2. Some time ago, after a crash, and during the chkdsk in the following boot up, harddisk showed 12kb bad sector
3. Due to more crashes and not being able to login once, went to rescue & recovery and only recovered OS to an old and healthy state. Kept my data, lost all the new programs installed but got the OS fine and running. --> I guess the bad thing that may have happened is that recovered OS may have used those bad sectors as well, but this is just a guess.
4. Problems, slow downs, the 12kb bad sector, issues kept coming back every couple or few weeks. Repeated the rescue and recovery OS installations another two times.
5. Few days ago, all was good, but needed to restart, but this time a blue screen came up with UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. This screen comes up even if I try to go into safe mode, with networking, or even with only DOS prompt.
6. Tried to go to rescue and recovery (version 4), it took a really long time and was telling me that something wrong with the file \minit\setupapi.log and after a long long time that it got in the page for rescue and recovery, it was not doing anything by clicking on any of the buttons.
7. Took the hard out, connected it through an external enclosure to another computer, the main drive could not be read at all, I/O error, not distinguishable.
8. But the SERVICE drive was understood and I could even run chkdsk /F F:\ on it and it repaired the file mentioned above (\minit\setupapi.log).
9. Put the hard back into T61, went to rescue & recovery, this time the error on the file was not showing up, but since the step #8, I have not been able to get pass the initial screen of rescue & recovery. It doesn't go in at all.
10. Found it through Google search, the famous post on this forum about fixing the Master Boot Record. Got the little program, burned on a CD, went through all of its steps, finished as described in the famous thread, but I am not sure if it has been any help to me so far.
11. In few other occasions, connected the hard through the external enclosure to another computer and found online and used programs like Disk Doctors Windows Recovery Data and EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard and was able to just read inside both NTFS main disk and FAT32 service disk (windows can also read the service disk but cannot read the main disk). Using the free version of EASEUS, I could even read and save my personal data since my last backup, so I am good to even format the T61 hard but still I don't want to give up on that.
12. While the lenovo harddisk is in it, in a restart went to BIOS (F1) and ran the harddisk diagnosis, It said: "Pass: Controller Diag, Error code 0000: Read verification failed". And after the "Test complete", it gave a red message in the middle of screen that "<<< An error was found. Call for service >>>"
13. As mentioned in #1, I don't have Lenovo's recovery Windows XP CD(s) for T61, but I have some other windows xp installation CD's, I thought I can put them in CD drive, boot up from CD, and try to recover or repair the windows, It seems that they tell me there is no harddisk in your computer!! When I press "R" to go to recovery console, it tells me: "Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer."
My questions for dear members of this forum are:
1. Can I recover my T61 harddisk with the above description? It is being read nicely with the recovery programs, so it should have not been damaged seriously. Please guide me to other things that I can try?
2. I can see and read the Service part of the drive from Windows (no recovery program needed) while connecting the drive through external enclosure to another computer. Can I run a program from the Service part of disk and make those T61 Recovery CD and DVD?
3. If I purchase the Recovery CD(s) from Lenovo, would they be doing any magic or help in my case described above?
4. Can I make recovery CD(s) from another T61 laptop and use them for mine?
Thanks all for reading my long post and helping me. God Bless.
Best Regards,
AL_K

Step One: Install windows
Step Two: run system update
Step Three: Your done (optionally have a beer and relax)
Sorry, step three was a bit of humor I added.
Actually these recovery CDs were produced before the first T61 was made, probably in 2006. The T61 line was replaced in 2008.
You can activate with the code on your COA, I've done it many times, just make sure you do a full (new) installation, not an upgrade, from an oem disc.
If you do end up using the original product recovery disc set, your steps are more like this...
1. Install disc one... wait 30-60mins
2. Install disc two... wait 30-60mins
3. Install disc three... wait 30-60mins
4. Install disc four... wait 30-60mins
5. Install disc five... wait 30-60mins
6. Install disc six... wait 30-60mins
7. Install disc seven... wait 30-60mins
8. Install disc eight... wait 30-60mins
9. download latest service pack for windows and install (over an hour)
10. Install (replace old version) system update and run.
11. go to windows update and update several years worth of patches and hotfixes. (1-4 hours)
12. kick back and have a warm beer and cold pizza, if there is any left after I finished hours ago and celibrated already.
Also, after going through all that, you've not only installed windows, then replaced nearly the entire operating system, but you've also used valuable harddisc space to make several redundant copies of the outdated files, drivers and apps.
Please understand, I'm not saying the recovery discs are a bad design, they work great, and back in 2006-7-8-9 I'd happily go through all that work, but today all the stuff on them is to old so it's futile to go through all that. It would be really nice if Lenovo updated the install discs, and we could download the latest version to use, but they basically just leave them untouched after the model line is released, so nothing on that disc is newer then about 2006.
I'll also add that both George and I have done this well over 100 times each, so we wouldn't be suggesting this if it wasn't the best option, but in the end you'll have a working system no matter which route you take to get there, so the only question to ask yourself is...
Do you like your beer cold and your pizza hot
Good luck, and enjoy your endeavours

Can't get Rescue and Recovery to Start

Hey all,
My computer is having hardware problems. I'm at the point of giving up completely on the computer, but I had a few files that I wanted to recover from it first. I've had Hard Drive issues before and usually just have to push the blue Thinkvantage button and rescue and recovery comes up.
However, this time I can't get it to start. I just go to a screen that says "Startup Interrupt Menu" and lists three options, resume normal startup, enter BIOS, and choose a temporary startup device. I can't even get to rescue and recovery if I press F11.
Any ideas?
I'm running Windows 7, the computer is a T61 that's a little over 3 years old.

I'm having the same problem as crimesofparis. My machine is just out of warranty. It came with XP Pro when I first received it. A while back, I received a copy of Win 7 32-bit from Lenovo. I installed it and everything has been fine. I recently purchased a new Thinkpad Edge and want to sell my T61. The new owner would like the XP back on it. I thought I would just run the R&R by pushing the blue Thinkvantage button, but when I do I'm getting the same thing,
"Startup Interrupt Menu" and lists three options, resume normal startup, enter BIOS, and choose a temporary startup device. I can't even get to rescue and recovery if I press F11. Apparently something changed when the W7 was installed, but Lenovo did not make me aware that the restore using Thinkvantage would stop working. There must another way to get to the restore partition (which appears to be intact) and restore from it. I also can not find my restore disks.
Lenovo, can you help?
Thanks

Ipad 3 on ios 6.0.1 wont activate imessage, icloud and facetime. And i wont get notifications FROM ANY APP WHATSOEVER!!

I recently updated my ipad 3 to ios 6.0.1 and there are a **** lot of problems. My imessage and facetime wont activate - it keeps saying couldnt sign in check ur net connection. And safari sometimes says it couldnt open the sight because it couldnt connect to the server. My net is going perfectly fine but ios isnt. And then i wont get push notifications for any app, no matter wat i do. Ive restored it twice, but nothings working watsoever. If anyone has any idea how i can sign in to imsg, facetime and icloud or get my notifications to come plzzz do tell me i cant find a solution anywhere!!!!!!!!
And apple u really need to fix these problems in the next update!!!!
Thank u.

hi there,
i think i know whats wrong. one thing you could do is: try holding the home butoon and the power button together and shut down the ipad. you have to press both of them together!!! then to switch it back on, do the same thing again. it should start up. if it still doesnt work, you could try going to setttings, then "notifications" and turn on notifications for the apps you want. About safari, if it doesnt work from step 1, you could go to wifi or cellular and just reconnect your ipad to the internet.

what do you need to do to get your pictures that you took awhile ago back on your iphone 4s after you just restored your phone it? it says "downloading" but wont give me any of my pictures back that i took awhile ago. I backed everythign up at the apple store while the person who helped me watched me do it. i have 1,796 pictures i took before i restored my phone, but it wont let me see them. it just says "downoading" and i will be devestated if all of my pictures are gone. please help me!

You would have received a prompt telling you that you didn't have sufficient space to beck up your phone if that was the case. Also, not everything on your phone is stored in the backup so you wouldn't need 11.7GB to back it up. You can see the size of your backup by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your phone under Backups and look under Options.
If it says "downloading" it's probably still downloading your pictures from iCoud. Check Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup at the bottom to see the status of the restore process.

Rescue n Recovery wont get me any fresh backups...
