Rescue&Recovery: which partition is used as target one?

#1 Post by BigCatAndy » Wed Jul 04, 2012 9:59 am

Hello @all,

I have T43p with hidden recovery partition (as it was set at the factory), and I have to re-install my Windows XP. Completely. The straightforward way here is to use "Rescue&Recovery" and simply re-install from that partirion. But my laptop is a dual boot one - I have also Linux on it. I want to keep Linux partition as well as my data partition. Here is my question: is it possible to choose the target partition when reinstalling Windows using "Rescue&Recovery"? Or will it silently overwrite my whole hard drive bringing it ot initial factory state?

I would appreciate any hint on it, because I have extremely important private data and I cannot loose it.

Thanks in advance, regards from Hamburg,

Andrey.

Using R&R you will loose everything, as it overwrites the whole HD (apart obviously from the recovery partition).
You might consider W7 32-bit instead of XP.
That runs quite well on a T43p.
Make a backup of your Linux data anyway.
You may have to (re)install Grub or similar after W7 has been installed.

These are bad news for me. I hoped that I would be able to choose certain partition to recover Windows on it. :-(

Perhaps, in this case it would be even more smart to buy a new hard drive. But here I have doubts about well-known issue with "non-IBM-approved" harddrives for T43p.

Update your BIOS with TTAV134's version, which eliminates HD Error 2010 and wifi Error 1802 and other good stuff.

Where can I read about this BIOS update? I'm a bit scary to ruine my laptop. It means a lot fro me, even if it's quite old...

Thanks.
I think, I will simply backup all my data and recover everything using hidden partition. I'm a bit pessimistic with BIOS update...

But, anyway, thanks for the hint.

Every T43/T43p/R52 that goes through my hands (several every week) gets this TTAV134 BIOS update.
If you don't do it, you miss out on some great advantages.
I have never had any problems with it.

Hello, just decided to check current version of the BIOS - perhaps, I have already installed that update via SystemUpdate. So, my current version is 1.29 (1YET65WW), BIOS date is 2006-08-21. Is it the right one?

No, the BIOS of which RBS speaks is not provided by Lenovo, it's a custom modified BIOS that fixes several of the things crippling the T43/R52 series. I too apply it to all those machines that come through my hands.
Collection = T430 - T500 - R400 - X300 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - R61 (15" SXGA+) - T60 - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P

Hello Neil,

thanks for the hint. I tried to download the update, but the web-site asks for login name. Is it normal?

Best wishes from Hamburg,
Andrey

Hello @all,

just downloaded it. I will try to install that update next days. In general it means, that I can install any hard drive in my laptop. Am I right?

Hello @all,

today I tried to update the BIOS. I created bootable CD using the ISO file, started my laptop from that CD. MS-DOS started. I confirmed, that I wanted to flush my BIOS, the process has started. While flashing block C or D, the following error message appears:

Undefined error number -28640
RESTART SYSTEM WITH CRISIS DISKETTE

I powered off the laptop, started it again. Everything looks quite well, my both OSs start and I can work. Does anyone know what happened?

Regards from Hamburg,
Andrey.

P.S. I can also send a photo of the screen - I made it with my mobile phone.

I usually see the same error message...I assume it's just a fluke in the flash package as the BIOS update has never actually failed to take.

Another idea came into my mind... I checked my model number (2668 PEG) over Lenovo page, and there my laptop is labeled as T43 (and not T43p). Can it be, that I apllied the wrong BIOS update? As far as I remember, there were two ISO-files - one for T43p and another one for T43/R52. Should I also try the one for T43?

Andrey

All ATI machines use the same BIOS, based on 1YET65WW.
Do NOT use the Intel BIOS, based on 70ET69WW.
To check if your BIOS update worked, put in any non-IBM approved hard disk.
If there is no Error 2010, it worked OK.

Hello,

I just inserted my second HDD (Western Digital) into main adapter, and I haven't got any error 2010. The drive itself appeared in the list of available boot devices, when I pressed F12.

Looks like it worked... :-)

Thanks a lot for you help.

Best regards from Hamburg,
Andrey.

R&R: system partition is now FAT32. Normal?

#23 Post by BigCatAndy » Sat Jul 14, 2012 12:26 pm

Hello @all,

just now I restored my Windows XP using recovery CDs I created immeaditely after purchasing my laptop. The first think I noticed is that my system partition (actualy, my single partition, except for the SERVICE001) has now type FAT32 (and not NTFS, as it was earlier). Is it normal? I'm quite sure, I was not asked for the file system type during recovery process. I suppose, I cannot change the type of file system now, can I?

I would appreciate any hints.

Cheers,
Andrey.

P.S. By the way, when I tried to recover using hidden partition on my hard drive, R&R recognized that I had several partitions and asked whether it should recover partition C or whole hard drive. Since I had GRUB installed, it didn't work for me. But If I would have Windows XP only with hard drive separated into several partitions, I would be able to recover just C. The rest of my hard drive would stay untouched. At least I think so... :-)

Yes, it's normal for the restore process to setup with a FAT32 partition. If you let the installer run it's course, through several restarts, it will automatically switch for file system from FAT to NTFS. If it doesn't you can manually do it.

Hello Neil,

I was to inpatient. After some reboots the file system was converted to NTFS.

I have another question about the content of my hard drive / pre-installed software. Which folders from that content can I delete without breaking the system? I suppose, some of those folders contain just installers for IBM/Lenovo products, don't they?

Regards,
Andrey

P.S. Sorry if this question was already asked. In this case I will search further for the correspondign thread.

It's not worth the hassle to hunt around and delete some installation folders, that maybe give you 40-50MB extra space.
It's way more effective to go to C:\Windows, and there delete all the (Windows update) folders that start with:
$NtUninstallKBxxxxxx, as well as all the corresponding C:\Windows\KBxxxxxx.log files.
Check for their presence once a month (and delete).

Hello RBS,

I checked folders I mean:
- DRIVERS - 234 MB
- IBM TOOLS - 902 MB
- SWTOOLS - 474 MB

Together they occupy 1610 MB os space. To be honest, I would better use that space for my system. So, what do you say: is it secure to remove those folders? As far as I understand, they are just installers of different (in most cases - old) IBM tools.

As far as I remember, I also can delete content of the "session" folder of "System Update" (except for a couple of subfolders and XML files).

OK, I will check them either. Thanks for the hint!

Re: Rescue&Recovery: which partition is used as target one?

#29 Post by Fr0stCrunch » Mon Sep 17, 2012 5:23 pm

Can anyone please give me a link to the c:\ibmtools download for the t43?
it was deleted :( :( from my computer and now i need to restore it >< :( :( :( :(
it would be really helpful if someone could copy their own ibmtools from their t43(specifically t43) and put it on 4shared.com or something.
Thanks in advance
Alan Sandoval :( :( :( :(
