  • Cannot create recovery disk after update to Win 8.1 on G580

    Friends
    I have a Lenovo G580 that came with Win 8.0 preinstalled. I upgraded it to Win 8.1 over the Internet.
    When I try to run the "Create recovery disk" I get the error that states that "We cannot create a recovery drive for this PC. Some required files are missing..."
    I found out that the winre.wim file that is supposed to be in the C:\Windows\System32\Recovery folder is not there. I cannot locate it anywhere on the C or D drives either. I believe there is a copy on one or more of the recovery partitions but I do not know how to get that file from those partitons.
    I am confused as to why there are seven partitions on that one drive:
    1 Recovery partition 1000 MB
    2 EFI system partition 260 MB
    3 OEM partition 1000 MB
    4. Recovery partition 350 MB
    5. Recovery partition 20 GB
    6. Lenovo D: 25 GB
    7. Windows 8 C: 250 GB
    Can someone help me and give me some instructions on how I can fix the system to find the winre.wim file?
    Thanks for any good input.

    Hi Calle,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that the error message is displayed in your G580 Laptop, as the OS (Operating System) installed is Windows 8.1 or Windows 8. Recovery discs cannot be created only a “Recovery Media” can be created using USB Flash drive, below is the link to create USB recovery drive.
    Create a USB Recovery Drive
    Do post us back if the issue persists.
    Best Regards

  • How to create recovery disks for Lenovo H530s with WIndows 8.1

    Hello there,
    I just purchased a Lenovo Hf30s type 10131 with Windows 8.1, mini tower: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/desktops-and-all-in-ones/lenovo-h-series-desktops/lenovo-h5...
    I like to create recovery disks, but  the already installed program OneKey Recovery does not have the option of recovery disks, it allows only larger media such as USB stick and hard disks.
    Here to I have 2 questions:
    1. Is there a way to create a recovery disks that will create the original factory settings with 5 partitions?
    2. Does any one knows if the recovery siskd sold by Lenovo (for Netherlands they cost between 23 and 38 Euro) would do the job by creating the factory settings with 5 partitions?
    My goal is to reformat the hard disk and aprtitionig it the way I need it, but in case of anything, I would like to be able to go back to the original facttory state of the unit, especially if I have a harddisk failure and neer to replace the hard didks.
    Thank you in advance and I wish you a very pleasant and successful day.

  • How to create recovery disk on HP envy dv6 7258nr notebook pc - window 8

    I m trying to create recovery disk from recovery drive which is created by hp while purchasing the laptop, while taking back up from recovery manager, Recovery Manager says   (Recovery Partition has been removed - Recovery Media creation option is no longer available) , but as per my knowledge i did not took back up of recovery drive. So what should i do to take back up of my recovery drive to **bleep**.

    Based on what you have stated, it appears that you or someone else with access to your notebook deleted the recovery partition. Without the recovery partition on the hard disk you can't make recovery media.
    Your best option at this point would be to purchase a recovery disk set from HP or an HP Partner.

  • HT4848 Error creating recovery disk in Disk Assist

    I've carefully followed all instruction in this post: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4848, but I am having an error when creating the recovery disk.
    The recovery Disk Assist starts creating it, but stops early on. The message I get is titled "Conclusion," and it says "The recovery drive wasn't created. There was an error creating recovery disk."
    Can anyone help me with this? I followed all the steps in the post above and I also created the partition on the external drive.
    I really need to wipe out my computer and make it appear "as new" because I am selling it. Any help would be great!
    Thanks!

    Same happened to me.  This makes absolutely no sense, but I just kept trying and trying then it finally worked.  For me, it hasn't been worth the bother.  These restore DVDs don't work like the ones I made for an Acer laptop, for example.  On my Acer, I repartitioned, reformatted my drive and was easily able to restore my computer before I sold it.  I've been going nuts trying to restore my computer after a clean install of Windows 7.  Still can't get it to work.

  • Do user-created recovery disks work with replacement HDD of different capacity?

    The original Seagate 250GB SATA HDD in my Pavilion G60-214EM notebook has completely failed (BIOS and other Windows machines cannot even see it). I replaced it with a Samsung 160GB SATA HDD but Recovery Manager on my user-created (DVD-R) recovery disk consistently fails at 2% of "Reformatting  the Windows partition of your hard disk drive". If I look at the resulting partitions from another machine I see a 10.61 GB NTFS 'RECOVERY' partition, an empty active primary NTFS partition of 37.12 GB and 101.31 GB still unallocated.
    Should the user-created recovery disks work if the replacement disk drive is smaller capacity than the original?
    Should they work with a larger capacity replacement drive?
    If not, can HP provide recovery disks that will work with a different capacity HDD?
    Thanks,
    --A

    Hi, I am the same predicament as you are From my experience thus far, the replacement disk drive space needs to be bigger or equal to the original HD space. (e.g.. I had a 640 gb OEM HD, I cannot install or factory reset the new 500 gb WD HD because it says its too small...)
    As for question 2, I am going to try to get a 1TB hard drive, though I don't know due to the prices and such. Will post back if I do.
    Question 3: I do not know, someone else may be more knowledgeable:/ 
    Hope this helps!

  • Thinkpad W530: Questions about creating recovery disk

    Hi there.
    My machine is thinkpad W530. Recently I had several problems with it so, I decided to recovery the system to the factory setting. However, it didn't work when the OS restarted and entered to Rescue and Recvery screen. I did follow the lenovo official instruction but I got a eorror happened, it said "recovery failed" and the recovery process was stucked.
    In addition, I tried to create a recovery disk and it failed, too. The lenovo said I could have only one recovery disk but I don't rember I had created a disk before. I checked the doucments in driver Q:\factoryrecovery, I also didn't find the "service done_ini".
    Anyone knows pls help me and your assistance is really apprecated.   

    Hi,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    I’m sorry to hear that you are facing the issue with OS on ThinkPad W530.
    As you have done all the troubleshooting steps to perform system restore and you are not able to complete the process because of error.
    This kind of issue occurs when you have done changes in the HDD partition before creating the recovery disc. Hence the system factory restore option will not work.
    Since you have mentioned that the recovery media has not created for the machine, the only option is visiting the nearby authorized service center for the further assistance.
    Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
    Hope this helps!

  • Created recovery disks but they dont work

    hi i have created recovery media for my CQ56-250SA they created fine after the verification of each disk but upon using them i get an error loading the recovery manager.
    the Reason i did this is because my hdd is now showing bad sectors, this is odd as it stays on a solid surface and doesnt get moved. i was going to try and use another hdd and recover using these discs
     the hdd i was going to use is a WD scorpio blue 160gb
    is the hdd at fault or is it the media creator program not corretly splitting the image so it can boot.
    will hp send me another hdd free of charge as my laptop is still under warranty acording to the date in the bios
    please help

    i have put another hdd in the laptop booted via the recovery discs i created but now i get an error saying that windows failed to load as a required resource is inaccessible, how the hell can a set of recovery discs fail to boot and recover the system back to a useable state.
    i did a clone of the original disk as a backup just in case so i still have the recovery partition.
    i'm stuck now
    please help
