Time Machine error message while restoring..."an error occurred while adding a recovery system to the destination disk

I had to change my hard drive in my MBP 15". I use Time Machine on a Time Capsule for backup. I am booting up my laptop with a bootable USB key. I have partitioned my new hard drive (bigger than the old one) and named it Macintosh HD (same as the old one). I select the option to restore from Time Machine Backup. I select one of my latest backup....select my destination drive...the restore process starts but stop within minutes with the following message. "An error occurred while adding a recovery system to the destination disk" It then prompts me to restart....
I need your help...what can it be.
Thanks

I've encountered this issue when the Time Machine was encrypted with FileVault.
Article: HT4718
Additional Information
Please note that OS X Recovery must be present on the computer's startup volume in order to use FileVault 2. Using RAID partitions or a non-standard Boot Camp partition on the startup disk may prevent OS X from installing a local Recovery system. See "OS X: Some features of Mac OS X are not supported for the disk (volume name)" for more information.
What seems to work, is reinstalling the OSX from the internet, and then using migration assistant to pull the user from the time machine backup external when logged into a temporary administrator user to move the original user back over.
Perhaps if you're stubborn, what would work is the following from the same article:
What to do if the installer warns that no Recovery System can be created
Some disk partition configurations may result in the OS X installer reporting that it could not create a Recovery System. In these situations, even if you are permitted to continue the install, you may want to quit the installation and create an external, bootable OS X hard drive with a Recovery System, first. You can continue your OS X upgrade on your computer's startup drive after creating an external Recovery System.
Your storage device must have at least 13 GB available (after formatting) to install OS X Lion or later and a Recovery partition.
These steps erase and reformat the storage device. This article instructs you on setting up a storage device to use the GUID partition scheme and the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which are required to install OS X and a Recovery partition on your external storage device. You should back up any important files that are on the device to a different drive.
This procedure installs a version of OS X that is compatible with the Mac it was created with. Using this OS X system with a different Mac model may produce unpredictable results.
Your computer's serial number is sent to Apple as part of this process to help authenticate your request to download and install OS X Lion.
All of this information was collected by browsing through the public articles on the Apple Support website.

Can't restore from Time Machine "error occurred adding a recovery system"

Here's the situation:
MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard was upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
A Time Machine backup exists (on Time Capsule) from the day before the upgrade.
I am trying to restore the Time Machine backup to a blank hard drive connected to the MacBook via FIrewire, but after rebooting with Command-R and selecting the backup source and HD destination I keep getting this (unhelpful) messages:
"An error occured while adding a recovery system to the destination disk" and "the recovery system could not be added"
Is what I am attempting impossible, or is there something else going on? What use is Time Machine if I can't restore?

Hi FranzKafka
I know it has been a while since your question, but the issue is possibly dependent on the blank HD, h=was it changed from the GUID partitioning? If so change back and you will find the Time Machine will restore back... without having to reinstall OSX. As you say, all of the original settings are captuered within TM.

T440s and System Restore "Recovery Failed"

I bought recently T440s with 16GB cache drive and 500GB disk. I had been able to install new SSD (Samsung 840 EVO 500GB) but I cannot restore Lenovo system from Disks.
I had to copy disks to USB drive because T440s don't have optical drive. Laptop is booting from USB but once I'm accepting aggreement (EULA) I have information "Recovery Failed".
I have exactly same problem like here:

Hi,
Are you talking about Lenovo factory recovery media?
I've tried copying Lenovo recovery media to USB flash drive to do a recovery - using every trick I could think of - and always failed It may be possible, but I'm not the only one who has tried without success. I don't think the recovery software will run correctly when booted that way.
An external DVD drive may be your only hope.

Recovery restores old system version

I have a new laptop and want to use Setup Assistent to migrate from my old, However, here's the issue:
- Old laptop has latest Mavericks, 10.9.5
- New one came with 10.9.4
So Setup Assistent refuses to work since it needs the new one to be updated to 10.9.5, However, if I continue with the setup and then upgrades to 10.9.5, I'll only be able to run Migration Assistent which is not as good (being a developer I have lots of odds and ends setup, like web server config, user accounts settings, etc, that I want to migrate smoothly).
No worries, I thought, and booted into Recovery partition instead, erased the standard partition, and then selected to install Mavericks fresh -> Mavericks was downloaded over the internet. But here's the strange thing: The downloaded version is also 10.9.4. I tried it again, making really sure the standard default partition was completely erased, but same result.
So it seems to me as if there is something wrong here with the version served by Apple; as far as I know, you should always get the latest system version when installing a system using internet download.
Any ideas?
Right now I'm forcing Internet recovery mode, i.e. ignoring the recovery partition (which of course has version 10.9.4) and downloading the recovery system over internet as well. I'll then erase the whole drive, including recovery partition, and see if that would trig receiving 10.9.5 at once, instead of 10.9.4, but I suspect it won't help.

Setup Assistant – How to re-run
This should allow you to update 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 and then use it.

hello all
i have Pavilion DV6 laptop, my HardDisk is dmaged and i can't boot anymore (because of the physical BadSectors) , so ibought a new HardDisk ( 1TB )
when i plug my old hard disk into another PC , i can see the 3 partion's
1 : C:\[system]
2 : D:\ [Recovery]
3 : E:\ [HP TOOLS]
i can fully browse them , so i just copied all the files in the partion D:\ ( which contains the Recovery Files) to my new Hard Disk
( i made a new partion with enough free space for the recovery files )
i done that by showing the hidden files and the system hidden files and then copy , the original size of the Recovery files are the same with the new one (near 19 GB) so i just installed a new Windows 7 (32bit) in my New HardDisk (the old system was windows 7 64bit but i have windows 7 32bit CD Available so thats why)
and i also downloaded and installed HP Recovery manager to restore my laptop to its factory condition,but when i run the recovery manager,i got an error message(HardDisk.dll is missing) i downloaded that .dll file , next time i got another error (PRRC.dll is missing) i downloaded that file too , finally when i ran the Recovery manager from my Desktop i got a Turkish message ! , while my system language is arabic
see here : http://imgur.com/WzrMDD2
and when i reboot and Press F11 To start the Recovery manager, it starts normally but i can't click on the system restore ! , i also can't reset my laptop to its factory condition, the buttons are disabled see here : http://imgur.com/7JYwO8B i can only click on Run Computer checkup and Show Contact info
should i install a 64 bit system and try the Previous step ? , or is there any missing files that i should copy into the D or C ?
please guys help me to restore my system , the old HardDisk is Dmaged and not bootable anymore so i don't want it

Hello MohammedFawzi. I understand you're trying to recover your notebook to factory conditions.
If you're unable to perform the recovery the normal way I suggest ordering a set of Recovery Discs directly from HP. This will not only reinstall the operating system but will also recreate the partitions (including Recovery), install drivers, and most of the software.
To order the discs you'll need to contact HP Support in your region. You can visit HP Support Worldwide to locate your region's contact information.
I hope this is helpful. Have an amazing week!

Help: Windows cannot restore a system image to a computer with different firmware

I want to recover a complete image of a Windows 7 operating system I have backed up to my other server. But I am getting the error "Windows cannot restore a system image to a computer with different firmware. The System Image was created by a computer using BIOS and this computer is using EFI"
The image was definitely taken from this machine - the firmware has not changed!
What do I need to do to restore the image?
Background Story ..
I bought a new HP 255 laptop per-installed with Windows 7 without Operating Systems instal disks (I will NEVER be stupid enough to do that again!).
I took a complete image of the systems, as suggested so that I was well backed up.
However, my machine corrupted its operating systems with a few weeks. The boot recovery CD did not work (would not boot). So in desperation, and because time was short I went out and bought another, legitimate copy of Windows 7 DVD with a license key (So now I have 2, legitimate copies of the operating system!).
I installed the new copy of Windows 7 - but it was dreadful, because many drivers were missing. Mostly the missing drivers were not available on the HP support site for this machine. ALso, boot up was increadibly slow compared to the original OS installation.
So I created a new boot recovery disk from the new version of Windows, and tried to restore using that. New boot disk loads ok, I can find the old image on my network (after loading a few network drivers). But I won't instal the image - giving the above error message.
I tried deleting the EFI partition from the disk (using GPARTED to reformat that partition). That killed the Windows 7 on the machine - but still gives the same error message when I try to re-image the machine.
I have tried going into the BIOS settings .. HP 255 has a "Legacy Mode" - which I have enabled, but this makes no difference at all!
I think that the kind of solutions I am looking for might be:
1. There is a clever way of disabling EFI on my 255 so that it looks like a legacy BIOS machine, or
2. This EFI this is wired into my new boot recovery disk - and there is a way of creating a boot recovery disk that does not use EFI
This has taken me about 2 weeks so far,please help with any suggestions!

Erico,
I suspect that "MSDOS" is what the Gparted tool calls "MBR" for a partition table, as explained here:
http://superuser.com/questions/700770/mbr-equals-msdos-for-gparted
I think that you are suggesting I give up on trying to recover the image I have stored on my server and just to instal Windows 7 from my new copy. There are two problems with this.
1. After having systematically downloaded all of the drivers from the HP 255 notebook support page, I am still seeing missing drivers listed. Install the AMD graphics softpaq driver first. It also contains the chipset drivers.
2. The machine is taking a hugely long time to boot up, and seems much slower with this version. Maybe that is a product of using "EFI" rather than "bios" - I don't know.
My assumption is that HP had some special set-up option with their version of Windows which makes the machine more performant. It does not seem to be a coincidence that the image they deliver the machine with is not quite compatible with a 'normal' Windows 7 instal.
So my original question stands: How do I recover the image that I saved away (as per instructed) when I first bough the machine?
You still have not said what you used to create the system image. What is the "image" file's extension?
You are mistaken in your comparison. MSDOS is an operating sytem MBR is a partitioning scheme. that is comparing apples to oranges.
The article is making an oblique reference in that using GPARTED is more or less equated to using the diskpart utility at the command line. Everything done at the comand line is essentially done by use of MSDOS commands. GPARTED does the same thing with LINUX commands via a graphical interface so you don't have to type in the commands in a Linux console.
Do you mean making a backup? a backup is not a clone which can be reproduced on different hardware. The SSD disk replacement does make the hardware differ from the original configuration.
Follow the instaructions on the following tutorial to make your disk a GPT type before installing.

[HP Expert Day] "You are not able to restore this system with the media"

Welcome to HP Experts day!
I've got a long-standing problem since last year. Let's see if you can solve this!
I'll get straight to the point :
I am unable to perform recovery on my system. This is the error message :
It's a USB recovery media created with the HP recovery media utility on the same laptop. Tested to work correctly before I sent it for RMA on my SSD. It initially was running on a micron SSD. When I got it back, it was a samsung SSD instead, according to some benchmark results.
Laptop : HP Envy Spectre XT 13-2018TU
P.S I've already opened another thread on this last year.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Recovery/Unable-to-boot-from-USB-recovery-media/m-p/2197929#M1...
But they were stumped.

I had this exact same issue on a Spectre XT Pro Ultrabook.
The original SSD failed and I was sent a replacement, was fortunate enough to be able to create a Recovery USB stick using the wizard in Windows. When booting from USB I received the message "You are not able to restore this system with the media".
SOLUTION: You must NOT use the Recovery USB stick in any USB3.0 port (labelled SS). Using another USB port prevented this exact error message from appearing and I was able to complete the system restore process.
I hope this helps someone, I signed up and posted here especially for this reason!

Mac Pro (Early 2008) freezes, reboots to recovery system, trouble locating startup disk

I have two issues which may or may not be related with my Mac Pro. First, off and on for several months is has been frozen when waking from sleep. I can hit a key and see my desktop with the windows I left open, but I get the spinning beach ball and the time is typically several hours behind. The only way I can get it to start is to restart from the power button. This typically happens overnight when my computer has been asleep for a long time. Sometimes I hear the fan run while the computer is asleep and I don't know if that is related. I've tried switching from Firefox to Chrome to see if that was the problem since I typically have a few tabs open on Firefox when it freezes, but that does not solve the problem. The next step I plan to try is to get a can of compressed air and clean the fan and check if the video card air intake might be clogged, based on information I have read in various forums. Does anyone have other suggestions for things to try to eliminate the freezing? Another suggestion I read was to get a new logic board battery installed but I hate to lug this thing into an Apple store unless I really have to. Most of the time I'm comfortable fixing things on my own.
The second issue is that when I reboot after shutting down the computer with the power button, it does not always load the startup disk. Sometimes I get the recovery system instead, and if I try disk repair, restore from backup, or the startup disk option from the apple menu, it cannot locate the startup disk. Usually after a few tries, I can restart it and get my desktop, but I'm not sure how long that will work. I hoped that resetting the NVRAM would take care of this but it has not fixed the issue. When I do disk repair, it says the drive is fine. I've also used idefrag to clean up the drive. I'm thinking my hard drive might be about to die and I should just get a new one, but I don't want to spend the money if that is not the issue. I have 83 GB free on the drive so space should not be an issue.
Any suggestions on fixing either or both of these issue would be very much welcome! I need to make this computer last at least a couple more years.
Specs:
Mac Pro early 2008
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 8 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB

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.

K330 Recovery system - how does it work?

Hi, I'm about to buy K330 with i5 processor, but before I do, I'd like to know something about Lenovo Recovery System.
So did I got this right: When you work on computer, and want to save everything you've done, you press one button on top of the computer. In case the computer crashes or gets infected, you press the another button on top of the computer which is next to the button before, and the system restores with same documents and files that you had when you pressed first button.
Correct?

As you need information regarding how to use OneKey Recovery in IdeaCentre K330. It recover the C drive of the computer to the factory default settings. With this operation, all of the existing data on drive C will be lost, whereas the content and format of the other partitions of the hard disk drive will remain unchanged.
OneKey Recovery is an easy-to use application. You can use it to restore your computer to the factory default settings.
Turn on the computer. When the Lenovo logo appears, press the F2 key on the keyboard to start the Rescue System, then you can select OneKey Recovery.
Follow the onscreen instructions to select the backup task you want to restore from and disk you want to install operation system, and press Next to start restoration.
Please wait during the process of system recovery. Do not interrupt the operation during the recovery process.
After the system is recovered successfully, the software prompts to restart the computer. Restart the computer and enter the system.
Note: System Recovery will overwrite all of the data on drive C. To prevent loss of data, be sure to back up relevant data before performing system recovery.

Sameer

Backup/restore a system that has 2 OS installed

Hello Guys
I have 2 OS –both are windows XP- installed on a machine on 2 different partitions
Using Rescue and Recovery, I created a backup inside OS number 1,
I tried to restore the backup, but unfortunately, Rescue and Recovery restored only one OS(and didn’t restore the second OS)
So my question is: how can I backup/restore a system that has 2 OS installed
Thanks

Dear Sir
I am a graduate in computer science engineering .For
the past few months I had training in java. There is
serious doubt that has arisen & no body in my contact
has the answer for it.Sounds interesting.
My doubt is that can JVM be installed in a system that
has only OS- DOSOS-DOS ? Is that a variant on the microsoft DOS (like e.g. DrDOS).
1)     If yes then
?     Why cant sun Microsystems starts developing a well
secure OS on that base like Microsoft did.They did, only microsoft failed and Sun worked it out nicely with Solaris (aka SunOS) which is a UNIX variant (which DOS isn't).
?     Can applet be run (or developed) in a purely DOS
based systemYou can develop them, just not run or compile them ;-)
>
2)     If not then
?     Why java is said to be platform independent.Because it is, the specs are out there, you're free to write a JVM for DOS (I'd suggest version 6.22).
Hope that my simple doubts will be cleared through tech personals.If those are doubts about a language I'd see you need to straighten out your prioritiets.
Tech personals? Are those personal advertisements for technical dating or something?

Thanking you
Yours sincerely

No problem.
p.s. to other guy that posted that IBM wrote MsDOS (aka DOS, the most widely spread version, which I'm assuming we're talking about), no they didn't, microsoft did, that's where Bill Gates got his money with.
IBM had it's own variant and was pushing the PC hardware market (the ancestors of our pc's were either IBM or IBM compatible).

How do you restore the system from a backup file that you created previously

I have a notebook, Pavilion g6 - 1031TX running windows 7 64bit OS, and ran the backup utility a few weeks ago before running a full system recovery to attemp to fix an issue - this issue was fixed by warranty, and now I need to recover everything from the backup files, I have run the restore executable in the folder and it created another folder on my C: drive (System recovery files), how do I use this to restore the system to its previous state?

Unfortunately, the backup utilty portion of Recovery is not optimal solution for restoring many files.Unless you know exactly where they go you are stuck. Most of the important stuff such as photos,music,etc will be in the 'Users' folder under your user name. You will have to manually move them to correct location.
A better option in the future is Windows 7's backup app in Control Panel.

Restoring entire system from a backup

For future use, I am interested in restoring my entire system, but I am confused with the following directions:
"With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Recovery system (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility"
My mac book pro did not come with a Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc, so I'm not sure how to go about restoring my entire system. What is a Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc?

That is the Snow Leopard installation disk used on older MBPs. It does not apply to a MBP that came with Mt. Lion installed such as yours.
Ciao.

Restore the system to factory settings

Hi, I am upgrading my iMac (mid 2007- OS X) and would like to know how to restore the system to factory settings or at least purge all personal data before giving it away.
Thanks,
Dan

If you restore it using the Command and R keys to restart on the recovery drive, you end up with a system that is tied to your Apple ID and cannot be updated or changed by the buyer.
The alternative is to call Apple Support, 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a set of install disks for that machine...they will need the serial number to send the right disks. Threre is a charge around $16 for those disks.
