T61 Boots to "Rescue and Recovery

I'm a desktop support tech working on an issue with a T61 that has started booting to Rescue and Recovery every time it is booted on a docking station.  It seems fine when off the doc.   I booted several times off the doc and it boots normally.  I booted several times on the doc and it goes to Rescue and Recovery. 
Any help with a fix would be appreciated. 
Thanks!
Kevin

Excellent.  Now how about clicking that "Accept as solution" button
Do you have a friend with cable/DSL who can download and burn SP3 for you?

  • Boot into Rescue and Recovery but not Windows

    Everytime my pc is powered on or restarted, it boots into Rescue and Recovery, but not Windows.
    What can I do?

    Hi,
    first I would like to explain one thing, so that we are on the same page with the RnR partition.
    Vista and XP are using different RnR partitions and the location of these aprtitions is placed on the HDD is different way, so that it can be used in conjuction with your Operating system.
    So in the time, where you have used the XP and OS, the RnR partition was placed in the partition table on the end/back. DIrectly after you upgraded to the Vista and did not made any changes to the RnR partition, than it is still on the end/back, which is not the corect way. Becase the Vista should use the RnR partition, that should be placed on the begind/start/in the front of all the other partitions.
    So in case there was no change made to the RnR partition, like relocation, or reinstall using the Vista RnR version, then you will not be able to boot into it.
    So here is what I would advice you to do:
    - reinstall, or download and install the Vista version of RnR (the latest version) => this will rewrite the partition table and in case of need it will create the RnR partition.
    - use bmgr32.exe , which is located on your HDD by default to rewrite the partition table. Please start it from command line in follwing way:
    bmgr32.exe /phil
    ==> this will bring you all the command line options and you can use it based on this.
    NOTE:
    Plase note, that once you captured some backups using the XP version of RnR , or a different version of RnR, then it's not possible to restor the backups using a different version.
    Simple: you must use the exact same version of RnR for backup and also for the  restore process.
    Let me know, if you have any more informations to this situation.
    Cheers

  • R60 always boots into Rescue and Recovery instead into Win XP

    Hello all,
    I intended to write a backup via Thinkvantage R&R, startet from the boot menue. This fails as no target could be selected to save the backup.
    After I talked to a colleague of mine, who told me to use R&R out of Windows (this way he made the initial backup) I reboot the machine via the button reboot in the top right corner. The machine rebootet but instead to start Windows Thinkvantage R&R was started again. No matter what I do, if I choose to boot from HDD Thinkvantage R&R will be started (if I choose to boot from USB od CD the system on the stick or CD will start).
    I can repeat this ad infinitum, there will always start Thinkvantage R&R. I even tried to revert back to the initial backup -- to no avail
    Maybe someone can tell me how to stop this circle.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    sorry for this late response but I didn't test this earlier.
    Thank you for the tip, this was the first step to solve this issue. After I changed the boot flag I was able to boot XP -- but only once. So I changed the boot flag again and I saw a notice about an unsuccessful and now pending backup job (this time I watched XP's boot process more closely . After I aborted the pending job I'm now able to boot into XP and R&R as I wish.
    Thank you all for all your help.

  • Unable to boot into Rescue and Recovery environnem​ent

    Hi everyone!
    I had my PC with windows XP factory installed. I migrated to Windows Vista. I didn't take the time to read the appropriate way to migrate and now I'm having big issues with all the ThinkVantage suite. So what I want to do is re-image my PC. I can see that the RnR partition (EISA Configuration partition is still there. (I've seen it in the Computer Management Console).
    Now, when I press the ThinkVantage button when my pc Boots, it only gives me the choice to either go in the BIOS, or select the boot drive. Of course, the RnR partition doesn't appear in my list! I'm kind of stuck here. I went on lenonvo's website, and there is a tool that will create a recovery diskette, but my laptop doesn't have a diskette reader... plus the application is written in 16 bits... so there's no way I can read it under Windows Vista.
    Anyone has an idea on how I could get my comptuer to boot into RnR so that I can re-image my pc?
    Thanks!

  • PLEASE HELP: Does Not Boot in Rescue and Recovery Mode!

    My X60s started to kind of freak out. I don't have a virus or anything, it's just being weird. I created a backup when it was working perfectly but I can't restore to the backup. Whenever I try doing it through windows, It always warns me not to restart my computer or it won't work. Then when I go through the setup to restore it and click restore, it pauses for about five seconds and then restarts my laptop automatically. But when I click the blue button on bootup, it brings me straight to the BIOS and gives me NO option to restore my laptop. PLEASE HELP! I've spent hours trying to get it to work and nothing is helping.

    Ok, I think it has something to do with either my registry or vrlogon.dll  I restored my registry to it's original state and that didn't fix anything so I think it has to do with vrlogon.dll  I was having problems with the fingerprint reader and I heard it might have to do with the vrlogon.dll I installed a program that is supposed to restore this file, but it didn't fix anything.  Upon closer inspection, I found that it deletes any third party software that may be affecting windos files. I think by using this I accidently overrode any Lenovo software that was in .dll's or other files.  Is there anywhere I can download these files from Lenovo? I've already tried reinstalling the programs individually, but it doesn't do anything.

  • T61 Lenovo Rescue and Recovery BSOD

    Hi,
    I've got a problem booting into the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery partition.
    System is a T61 (64665DG) with Rescue and Recovery 4.21.1016.00
    I receive the following BSOD message:
    A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage.
    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
    Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.
    Technical information:
    ***STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D6528,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
    It seems to be a problem with the AHCI controller not being supported. When I switch the SATA Controller Mode from AHCI to Compatibility in the BIOS it then successfully boots into the Rescue and Recovery environment.
    Why is it missing the correct AHCI driver? It used to work fine with the older version of Rescue and Recovery in AHCI mode. Is there a fix available for the Rescue and Recovery software to allow you to run it without having to put the SATA controller in AHCI mode?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks both for your replies. The inability for it to boot the Rescue and Recovery partition in AHCI mode persuaded me to examine the contents of the partition for anything obvious amiss. Using Linux I was able to mount the FAT partition and have a nose around. In the /minint/system32 directory it's got a number of sub-directories for the Intel Iastor driver - that used to access the HD in AHCI mode. I couldn't find any reference to that in txtsetup.sif and the winpeoem.sif file was empty. After some Googling I found out that you can easily load additional mass storage drivers using winpeoem.sif.
    IBM have a program called rrutil.exe that allows you to access the RnR partition from within Windows, it's part of the Rescue and Recovery Administrator Tools.
    To modify winpeoem.sif first install the RnR admin tools and open a command prompt window in the install location - C:\SWTOOLS\TOOLS\Z652_Admin016. Make sure the C:\Temp directory exists and is EMPTY - this is very important. You then need to create a "getlist.txt" file:
    echo \minint\system32\winpeoem.sif > getlist.txt
    retrieve the file from the RnR partition
    rrutil.exe -g getlist.txt C:\Temp
     type
    notepad C:\Temp\minint\system32\winpeoem.sif
    and paste in
    [Version]
    signature="$Windows NT$"
    [OemDriverParams]
    OemDriverRoot=""
    OemDriverDirs=IASTOR
     upload the changes with (this will write everything from Temp to the RnR partition!)
    rrutil.exe -p C:\Temp
    Or you could just modify /minint/system32/winpeoem.sif directly in Linux without messing about with the rrutil.exe.
    With this small modification to winpeoem.sif I was able to successfully boot into the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery partition with AHCI mode enabled. I haven't tried reinstalling windows xp with this fix.

  • Rescue and Recovery 4.5: Boot Environment does not list Backups on USB Drive

    Hello,
    I have a fresh installed Windows 7 on a X 230 and am now setting up my backup. The notebook came without an OS so I installed Win7, all drivers and the Thinkvantage Software myself. Then I made a backup with Rescue and Recovery 4.5 to an external USB 3.0 HDD. The Backup is listed in the Windows program, but when I boot to Rescue and Recovery, the backup is not listed.
    Since there arent any options I could change during the backup or the recovery, I have no idea what went wrong..
    Thanks!

    In the standalone boot of RNR, go to the advanced GUI, chose Restore.  After a few screens, you will see a restore from location, default is Local Hard drive.  This is a drop down list.  USB option is available in the drop down list. The USB must be connected during the standalone boot. If the backup is NOT the same UUID as your system, check the box that says show backups from all systems.
    Also read my post dated Nov 22,2011 .  RNR backup reverts to local.  This may not apply to USB backups.

  • 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

  • Rescue and Recovery 4.5. Rescue media can't boot from FAT32 64GB flash drive.

    T530 Windows 7. I did a full (base) backup to a 64GB USB flash drive formatted FAT32. R&R started by indicating “Rescue and Recovery Medium being created” and after a few hours finished the backup. When I click on ‘View all backups’ I can see the backup created. I then tested the flash drive to see if it’s bootable but the screen only shows rapidly moving white font gibberish over black background. I did the same as a test on a 8GB USB flash drive formatted NTFS (I had to stop the backup since 8GB was not enough space) but had no trouble booting from it. Both flash drives have the folders: boot, efi, Preboot, RRbackups, tvtos and files: bootmgr, bootmgr.efi, fcopy.ini. In other words, the only difference seems to be that it works with 8GB NTFS but not with 64GB FAT32. Is that the issue or just coincidence?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The readme file for RNR 4.5.1 states:
    Consideration 7
    Unable to boot from a 64 GB USB memory key
    When you create rescue media on a 64 GB USB memory key and then boot your computer from the memory
    key, an error message is displayed, saying, ?¡ãError loading Operating System.?¡À
    To solve the problem, change the 64 GB USB memory key to one with less storage capacity.
    ===
    The question is.. is your Flash USB a memory key?
    I would reformat  the 64GB to NTFS, then run the Create Rescue Media option onto it.  Then try to boot the USB.
    There is another post out here stating on certain USB sticks, you have to PREFORMAT it,  using diskpart command, before using the Create Rescue Media option..

  • T61 upgraded to Windows 7, now can't install Rescue and Recovery or Bios update.

    I have a T61 6459 CTO that had XP SP3 on it. I upgraded to WIndows 7. I tried to install TVTVRNR450_025en, but I get an error msg "Rescue and Recovery does not support installing from the Operating System which upgrade from a legacy pre-load system." I tried deleting all old RNR and CSS programs in the old files after the install, but nothing seems to work. There is nothing listed in my add/remove programs. My Thinkvantage button doesn't work. How do I remove the old RNR? Should I have done that prior to installing Windows 7? Do I need to re-install my XP backup and start over? My Bios update extracts, but doesn't install. Help!

    Hi, FSURN82
    I did some research and was able to find this thread from Lenovo Forums. There are a few other people having similar issues. For some, installing an older version of Rescue and Recovery (sometimes even the one for their OS before the upgrade) would work fine. For some, however, they could not get it to work, so they would create backups manually using Windows.
    As for the BIOS issue, what version are you currently running and to what version are you trying to upgrade?
    Thanks,
    Adam

  • Rescue and Recovery "File is in use and can't be copied" errors - T61 - WXP

    Hi and thanks -
    When Rescue and recovery backs up, I frequently get  the error message, "This file is in use and can't be backed up.  Close all programs and try again" [my paraphrase]. 
    Here is everything I have tried:
    Restarting Windows and backing up "clean" - I have also attempted doing a "Clean boot" by stopping all services in "msconfig". - still got many of the error messages.
    Starting in Safe mode - Rescue and restore doesn't work at all
    Starting up in "ThinkVantage" and doing a backup from there - Rescue and restore will restore from a previous copy, but will not back up.
    This backup error has gone on ever since I bought this macine used in January 2011, and I have never cared much.  But recently the machine had a "fatal error", and all of the backups were useless.  I had to comletely restore the machine to factory settings, which means I had to re-load all of my data and programs - an arduous task.  I do not want to meet this same fate again.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks!

    Have you tried running a backup with your virus scanner / internet security software turned off? Sometimes these software can "hang" on files or folders with the intent to protect them and therefore prevent them being read
    Before attempting the above please ensure your system has no Internet access

  • Cannot Boot To Windows After Rescue And Recovery

    I used the Rescue And Recovery disks (7 disks plus actually recovery cd) on my T42. I received the cd set direct from IBM. I've used the CDs in the past with no issues. This time after following the instructions and completing the restore, I cannot get the computer to boot to windows. It keeps going back to the Rescue And Recovery program. What can I do?

    Refer to the following guide:
    FAQ "How to use Recovery CD Disc Set".

All the CD's really do is install Rescue and Recovery and the files needed to Restore Windows and the original Factory software."

  • X61s - unable to access Rescue and Recovery from boot

    Is there any other way to access the R&R from boot? and what's the unattend answer file anyway?
    I'm trying to go to rescue and recovery from boot because my windows wouldn't load.
    It shows this message: "Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file [C:Windows\Panther]unattend.xml]. The answer file is invalid"
    I want to reinstall windows anyway so I tried going to the R and R page from boot: pressing the Thinkvantage button when it say "to interrupt normal setup... etc." I pressed the button and the message disappears, but it doesn't lead to the R & R page, it just starts windows normally. F8 leads only to more options of loading windows, like safe mode, etc. but non of them works because of the "unattend answer" file.
    How do I go to R&R if not through the thinkvantage button?
    What is unatend answer file anyway?

    Hi,
    RnR is not located in %programfiles%\ThinkVantage

    Although based on your description, it might be, that none of it will fit you.
    OK, so in case you uninstalled older verison of RnR, then please check whether this previous version of RnR was using a physical Recovery partition. If it does, then this error might indicate, that this partition is too small for the new files that should be copied to this location from the new version of RnR.
    I have also seen this kind of error by installation on Win7, where the RnR application tried to place the preboot files into the 100MB partiiton, that is by default created by Win7 installation disk. As you mentioned, that you have been using 3.x version, then I assume, that you are on XP as the OS, Is that right?
    One of the other options might be, that your antivir might be blocking the functionality/installation of RnR as RnR is accessing protected system files.
    Also please make sure, that all the files from the older RnR version are deleted and you have the latest version of CSS (Client Security Solution) also installed on your system.
    Any additional info is appreciated, as I can try to repro this situation in our lab.
    Cheers
