T60 problem with product recovery disks

After Installing disk 1 of product recovery I am getting a message asking for "Final C" disk. I do not have this and I can go no farther with the recovery
How can I get past this? What could be causing this?

Maybe you could provide a little more information as to how you are trying to recover your system, are the recovery discs from Lenovo or did you create them yourself?
Recovery scenario using Lenovo or self created recovery discs;
boot from the Lenovo R&R or 1st disc created, once it has loaded choose to restore system and then restore to factory settings. Make sure you read all messages carefully. If it says remove disc and turn off and then turn on your system, you will need to, after removing the disc, press the power on button untill the system turns off, then turn it on again without inserting any disc.
You may be asked for a supplemental disc. If the discs are self created you do not have this disc and you need to click on "no". If the discs are from Lenovo you may, may not have one, click "yes" or "no" accordingly. Proceed as instructed and your system will be recovered.
Edit; just had another thought, may / may not be relevant in this case - but just in case: If you are starting the system, then pressing the blue ThinkVantage button, and do not have a factory restore option; - if you can still boot into windows you need to run System Update and let it update itself. Then try the ThinkVantage button again at boot, hopefully the factory restore option will be available.
Hope this helps

  • 0X4001100200001012 error with windows recovery disk

    For quite some time (over a year), I've been seeing chat about this error when attempting to make recovery disks on Dell machines. Basically, a recovery disk made in windows 7 starts to boot, when tested, but then gets to what looks like the blue background
    for a normal startup screen and shows an error code  0X4001100200001012 error.
    Invariably, someone trots out advice about burning disks slower or running a file error check. Neither of these work. Some believe that the error has something to do with the Dell recover partition that all Dells ship with.
    If one boots with the windows 7 install disk, all goes well, and one can recover an image file, so it is definitely some sort of error introduced at the windows 7 recover disk creation process.
    I have seen this problem with 2, different model, Dells. An HP does not have the problem. Its recovery disks work fine. All three machines are running different versions of windows 7 64. 
    Do you have any insights into what is causing this error, and whether it can be remedies or if Dell owners just have to live with it? Calling Dell technical support is...well, lets just say that life is too short.

    Hi,
    According to your description, it indicates you have a problem with your recovery disk. It may be caused by recover disk creation process.
    You could refer to the similar thread; maybe they can give you some hits:

  • Equium A210-1C4: Winload.exe problem after using product recovery disk

    Hi There
    I Could really do with some help here. I have a Toshiba Equium A210-1C4 Laptop. Partitioned drive with Vista home premium service pack 4.0.
    Last night I used the product recovery disk supllied with the laptop to try and restore it back to its factory settings.
    and the end of the process I'm left with a cmd prompt box with X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the blue top bit stating:
    Error: imageX could not apply vista F:\05993xsp.swm Index 2 from ODD to C:\!
    Press any key to continue. That box dissappears then another one with Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the blue top bit stating:
    waiting for ODD to become available...
    ODD Drive F: ready.
    check for medium in drive F:...
    Failed to initialise the raid class.
    No RAID - continue normally...
    X:\windows\system32>
    Now whenever the laptop tries to restart it just comes up with the error message:
    WINDOWS FAILED TO START. A RECENT HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE CHANGE MIGHT BE THE
    CAUSE
    FILE: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WINLOAD.EXE
    STATUS: 0XC000000E
    INFO: THE SELECTED ENTRY COULD NOT BE LOADED BECAUSE THE APPLICATION
    IS MISSING OR CORRUPT
    Below I then have the option to esc or continue both with the same outcome of system trying to restart.
    The recovery disk has no repair option on it.
    please help, I haven't a clue.
    thanks

    Hi
    It looks like something went wrong during the Recovery procedure.
    Did you try to recover the notebook once again?
    If not you should definitely try this!
    You are right; the recovery disk hasnt a option for repair because the recovery disk is not the same like a MS Vista disk. The Recovery disk contains the image files (its a package) and the files contains the Vista, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.
    Therefore if something went wring during the recovery procedure, you will be not able to repair the OS installation but you have to run it again.

  • Satellite P200 - Product Recovery Disk 2/2 doesn't work

    Hello,
    because my laptop (Satellite P200 - I bought it in dec. 2007) didn't work properly anymore - and when after a lot of cleaning up it still didn't work properly - I decided to start from the beginning and restore the operating system with the 2 product recovery cd's/dvd's.
    Product Recovery Disk 1/2 worked fine - Windows Vista Home Premium is loaded again on my computer.
    But what abot *Product Recovery Disck2/2*??
    At one point the recovery program asks for an 'ADD-ON' but when I put in Product Recovery Disk 2/2 at that moment the program doesn't recognize the disk. During the rest of the recovery program the program doesn't ask for Product Recovery Disk 2/2, so the content of that cd-rom/dvd now isn't loaded on my laptop.
    Has anyone had this problem too?
    What did you do about it?
    Is it a problem not to have loaded the content of Product Recovery Disk 2/2 (can I go without it?)?
    Thanks in advance for any reactions!

    Hi
    > Product Recovery Disk 1/2 worked fine - Windows Vista Home Premium is loaded again on my computer.
    I dont know what Add-ons the tool asked for but as far as I know the Toshiba image contains the Vista OS, Toshiba drivers and the additional software.
    So if you have recovered the notebook using the Toshiba Recovery disk 1 then the notebook should be set to the SAME state like at the first day of purchase.
    PS: what files can you find on the second disk?

  • Trouble with Product Recovery for Satellite L450 D

    Hi,
    I've had a big problem with my L450 D and was advised by the warranty provider to use the Product Recovery disc. I have done this but I am unable to get past the following command:
    x:\windows\system32>
    Can anyone tell me what this means and how I can get past it to continue with product recovery on my laptop please?
    Many thanks

    > have restarted but when I enter the HDD1.....
    Why HDD1 if you use recovery disc?
    Start your notebook and press F12. When the boot menu is shown put recovery disc in optical disc drive. Choose CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER.
    Follow the menu on the screen and see what will happen. at first the whole image will be copied to second partition and when it is finished OS installation will start.
    If the recovery installation cannot be done properly either is installation image screwed-up or your HDD make problems.
    Sorry but I don't have other explanation for this.

  • Problem with Rescue & Recovery

    Hi!
    I have a X61 running on Vista Business. I am facing 2 problems with Rescue & Recovery:
    1. RR tries to run a backup on every bootup even when I schedule it to run Monthly or Never. The program appears not to register the changes to the backup schedule. I upgraded to the latest version of RR, but it didn't help. (Note: Another user posted about the same problem (http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=Special_Interest_Utilities&thread.id=604) some months back, but his problem hasn't been solved.)
    2. Whenever RR tries to perform a backup, I get this error message: "R2R.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." I downloaded the patch KB917422 but got the following message when I ran the installation pgm: "Could not find any previously installed compliant products on the machine for installing the product."
    Will greatly appreciate any advice!

    First you should try to fix the bad sectors, you can use the following command:
    chkdsk c: /f /r

  • Restoration Fails with HP recovery disk. Will ordinary retail copy of WIn8 install OK?

    I'm having weeks of pain trying to restore an HP Envy m6 that failed a couple of days outside its warranty.
    I've tried reinstalling from the original recovery partition and recovery disks burnt from the original recovery partition.
    These both failed with the error.  Detect some error during PININST_BBV
    Diagnostic checks suggested the Hard disk might be failing so I've replaced it and bought a new set of HP Recovery disks which HP believed would solve the issue. However I get the same error. Detect some error during PININST_BBV
    The installation in all cases appears to have gone fine.
    I strongly suspect the HP recovery process is faulty but HP want to charge be a 34 pounds just to speak to someone for a few minutes.
    Does anyone know if I can install an ordinary copy of windows 8 bought in a retail store instead?
    The product key seems to be buried in the BIOS at the moment and I don't know if that will affect activation if I try to install a non-OEM version
    Any anwers on help on the original problem would be greatly appreciated.
    This question was solved.

    I'm sorry, I really don't have a clue how to exclude Fingerprint driver from Recovery.
    =============================
    You should't have to worry about Activation. The BIOS key should work with the Windows 8 you installed from ISO download. Actually the install should have checked for and pulled the key already.
    =============================
    Any drivers you need should be posted on the Support page for the laptop.Get your full Model number or Product number from the Service Tag attached to bottom of laptop (may be under battery)
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number
     Once you have the info,  use the button at top of this page titled "Support", then click "Download drivers" from the menu. Enter your Product Number. After entering PN click 'Go". On the next page use the dropdown menu to select your Operating System, click Next. A list will populate with drivers/software.

  • T430s Recovery with Factory Recovery Disks

    Hello,
    I have a T430s. My original hard drive is dying so I got a new one. Before swapping the hard drives, I created the factory recovery disks (1 "boot media" + 3 "data media"). After installing the new hard drive, I boot with the first DVD (the "boot media") and it only goes to the system image option. It tells me to insert the last DVD of the system image, but obviously I have the factory recovery disks, not a system image disk. So it doesn't recognize any of the three data DVDs as the "last DVD". There is no factory recovery option, it only goes to the system image option. How can I restore to factory settings with my DVDs on my new hard drive? Do I have to use a CD/DVD to boot into R&R somehow, and if so, how?
    Thanks!

    There is no "full recovery " option. Do you mean to say factory image recovery instead?
     When you run a recovery, make sure that you connect the usb recovery media to a usb 2.0 port if one is available.
    Please identify your notebook with its complete product number or name.
    1.  The full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook - see This HP web document if you don't how to locate the model number and\or product number.

  • Please throw me a life-line: Problem with HP Recovery Manager's File backup option

    Product: Pavilion g7-1070us notebook
    Operating system: Window 7 64-bit
    Problematic system: HP Recovery Manager (triggered by hitting F11), made by "Cyberlink"?
    Error message:
    The notebook crashed a few times before but I was able to restart it. Then it completely failed and simply displayed a blue-screen with blinking cursor (no error message). Hitting F8 failed to trigger the safe-mode. So I was forced to get into HP Recovery manager by F11. Before the system restore, I had to backup my personal files through the File backup option.
    After scanning the computer for my slected file-types and finalizing the list of files to be backed up, it showed an error "No device is available for file backup. Make sure your removable disk is connected" while entering the third step ("Where do you want to save the backup").  This happened even though I have both blank DVD in the DVD drive and USB stick in the USB drive. And the size of the file I was trying to back up is way below 1Gb, a fraction of the storage capacity of the DVD.
    I ran the Diagnostic test in BIOS and passed both the "Primary Hard Disk self test" and the Memory test.
    Brief description of the issue: 
    I have a Pavilion g7-1070us laptop that failed to start and simply displays a blue-screen with a blinking cursor (no error message). I could NOT get into safe-mode by hitting F8, but was able to activate the “HP recovery manager” by hitting F11.
    I was trying to back-up my files before triggering the system restore/Factory reset. It asked me what types of files to back-up, then scanned the computer for these files and was finalizing the files for back-up.
    These first two steps went smoothly, but at the thrid step whne it asked me "Where do you want to save the backup?",
     suddenly an error message showed up saying e "No device is available for file backup. Make sure your removable disckdrive is connected". But I have both a DVD sitting in the optical drive and a USB drive attached!
    Can someone throw me a life-line here? If I cannot recover my files, I cannot proceed with the system restore and I am forever stuck here!! Thanks a lot!

    You're very welcome.
    If the hard drive and memory passed tests, then it is probably something else, but I can't say for sure.
    If you can read the files using the kaspersky rescue disk then the disk is definitely fine and the recovery program is probably corrupt.  If you cannot, then the disk may be wrecked.
    I do not believe the recovery disks provide any opportunity for you to back up files.
    Once you run the recovery disks, they wipe everything out, and rebuild the software image that came on your PC.

  • Problem with external Lacie disk

    Hi!
    I have some serious problems with my Lacie 250GB Porche disk.
    The disk shows up on my desktop but it does not allow me to read and write to it. Apple's disk tool does not manage to fix the disk. I have tried running Diskwarrior, but it gives me an error saying that the disk could not be rebuilt due to a disk malfunction. I am now using Techtool Pro 4.0.4. I have not used Techtool before, only DW. Im running a process called "Recover Files Using Directory Data"...is this the one I should be using? The manual was'nt all that clear about this...Please please help me as I have 44GB of client projects on this disk.
    Thanks in advance,
    Tom - Norway

    Hi Richard!
    Thanks for your response!
    I have now bought Data Rescue II from ProSoft:
    http://www.prosofteng.com/products/datarescueinfo.php
    It seems that the problem is my external harddrive and not the machine. I get read errors when I try to open projects in Photoshop / Indesign etc.
    There are of course companies that can retrieve my data, but thats like my last solution cause they cost loads of money
    Hoping that Data Rescue can clone my data to this new hd. The process seems to be taking days... 165.2 hours left and it has been working for two days now

  • X301 - Problem creating Product Recovery Disc

    Hello,
    I recently purchased an X301 laptop and have been trying to create a product recovery disc but to no avail.
    Shortly after I begin the process, I get a message saying "Drive is not ready or is busy performing another operation."
    Can anyone please suggest what might be the problem?
    The DVD burner is a Mat**bleep**a dvd-ram UJ-844 and I am using a SONY DVD+R DL disc.
    Thanks.

    machdeuce, welcome to the forum,
    which OS do you have installed?
    I have noticed that, using Vista, that the Vista "autoplay" function interferes with creating recovery discs. It sort of "takes over the drive". When required, insert the blank disc and click on the OK button before the Vista " autoplay has a chance to run. The autoplay dialogue field will come up and show the usual; copy files to disc etc., but you can then just close it without worry as the R&R has already received it's "orders" and will continue without problems.
    Hope this helps

  • T500 with XP recovery disk attempting to downgrade from Win7 64bit to XP

    I need to install a particular client that has not been certified on Windows 7.  As such, I need to downgrade to XP.  Do you know if the XP recovery disk that is offered is a 64bit version of XP?

    Good suggestion Bananaman, and I will certainly attempt it.  It will most likely be the first step I take.  However, it still wouldn't solve my problem at its heart.  It's not the "getting it to work" portion that is the issue.  While I might get it to work, it would be on a system with a "mode" that has not been certified.  However, XP64 has been certified.  Therefore a clean install might be the only way to go.  As such, I still need to know if the disk included is a 32 bit XP or 64 bit.
