Chapter 4. Recovery options

Introducing Rescue and Recovery

If Windows is not running properly, use the Rescue and Recovery workspace to help solve or identify your problem. Do the following:

1. Turn off your PC, then turn it on again.

2. Watch the screen carefully while your PC starts. When “To interrupt

normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button” message is displayed at the lower left of the screen, press the blue ThinkVantage button. The Rescue and Recovery workspace opens.

3. After the Rescue and Recovery workspace opens, you can do the

following:

v Rescue and Restore your files, folders, or backups.

v Configure your system settings and passwords.

v Troubleshoot and diagnose problems using diagnostics.

For more information about using Rescue and Recovery features, see the “Recovery overview” section of the Access Help.

Restoring factory contents

Instead of providing a recovery disc or a Windows disc with your computer, Lenovo provides simpler methods of accomplishing the tasks typically associated with these discs. The files and programs for these alternative methods are on your hard disk, which eliminates having to locate a misplaced disc and problems associated with using an incorrect version of the disc.

The complete backup of all the files and programs that Lenovo preinstalled on your computer resides in a hidden protected area, or partition, of the hard disk. Although hidden, the backups in the partition consume hard disk space. Therefore, when checking the capacity of your hard disk according to Windows, you might note that the total capacity of the disk appears to be smaller than anticipated. This discrepancy is explained by the contents of the hidden partition.

The Product Recovery Program contained within this area enables you to restore the complete contents of your hard disk to the same state as it was when originally shipped from the factory.

To recover the hard disk to its original contents, do the following:

Notes:

1. If you are using Windows XP or Windows 2000 and the optical drive is

not attached to your ThinkPad computer during recovery, DVD software and CD-recording software will not be installed. To ensure that they will be installed correctly, install the optical drive in the Ultrabay Slim before performing a recovery operation.

2. The recovery process might take up to 2 hours.

Attention: All of the files on the primary hard disk partition (usually drive C) will be lost in the recovery process. However, before any data is overwritten, you will be given the opportunity to save one or more files to other media.

1. If possible, save all your files and shut down your operating system.

2. Turn off your computer for at least 5 seconds.

3. Turn on your computer. Watch the display carefully. While the message,

“To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button” is displayed, press the ThinkVantage button. The Rescue and Recovery workspace opens.

4. Click Restore your system and follow the instructions on the screen.

Recovering data

If you performed a backup operation using the Rescue and Recovery program, you also have one or more backups stored that reflect the contents of the hard disk as it existed at various points in time. These backups might be stored on your hard disk, or a network drive, or on removable media, depending on the options you selected during the backup operation.

You can use either the Rescue and Recovery program or the Rescue and Recovery workspace to restore the contents of the hard disk to an earlier state using any of the stored backups. The Rescue and Recovery workspace runs independently of the Windows operating system. Therefore, you can start it by pressing the blue ThinkVantage button when prompted during startup.

After the Rescue and Recovery workspace opens you can perform a recovery operation, even if you are unable to start Windows.
