Accessing the Rescue and Recovery workspace
===========================================
In the event of a complete hard disk failure, you can open the Rescue
and Recovery workspace by booting from rescue media (either a Rescue
and Recovery CD or a USB hard disk configured as a Rescue and Recovery
device). You can create rescue media from the Windows XP or Windows 2000
Start menu.
Accessing the Rescue and Recovery workspace requires different
procedures depending on the type of computer you are using. For
instructions, refer to one of the following:
ThinkCentre and NetVista computers
--------------------------------------
Note: This procedure might not work on some older NetVista computers.
If this procedure does not work, follow the procedure for Other brands

Considerations
==============
To get the latest information regarding the Rescue and Recovery
program, visit:
http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-4Q2QAK
To view Hints & Tips associated with the Rescue and Recovery program,
do the following: Click Hints & Tips. In the Brand field use the
drop-down menu to select ThinkVantage technologies. In the Family
field use the drop-down menu to select Rescue and Recovery, then
click Continue.
The following are considerations associated with the Rescue and
Recovery environment:
Consideration 1
No wireless or dial-up capability exists from the Rescue and
Recovery workspace. Only wired Ethernet is supported.
Consideration 2
All pointing devices will operate as a two-button device within the
Rescue and Recovery workspace. For example, just as the third
button of a three-button mouse is not supported in the Rescue and
Recovery workspace, the scrolling capability of an ScrollPoint(TM)
mouse is not supported.
Consideration 3
Depending on the video adapter installed on your computer, there
might be a series of flashes when the Rescue and Recovery workspace
is opened.
Consideration 4
The browser used in the Rescue and Recovery workspace has been
modified to provide enhanced security. As a result, some browser
functions have been deleted.
Consideration 5
If you are booting from the Rescue and Recovery CD, the
CD must remain in the drive in order to perform rescue and recovery
operations.
Consideration 6
If you install Windows 2000 and there is a USB memory key attached to
the computer at the time of installation, then a TXTSETUP.SIF is
inserted in the C drive root directory. If you attempt to enter the
Rescue and Recovery workspace with the TXTSETUP.SIF in the C drive root
directory, your computer will not boot into the Rescue and Recovery
workspace successfully. To prevent this problem, either detach the USB
memory key before installing Windows 2000 or delete or rename the
TXTSETUP.SIF file in the C root directory before entering the Rescue
and Recovery environment.
Consideration 7
The Rescue and Recovery program only supports Norton AntiVirus 2004
(or higher). If you have a computer with Norton AntiVirus 2002 or
2003, then you are eligible for a free upgrade that can be obtained
directly from Symantec by visiting www.symantecstore.com/110005.
Consideration 8
Rapid Restore Ultra 3.0 and prior versions are not compatible with
the Rescue and Recovery program. If you install the Rescue and
Recovery program and previous versions of Rapid Restore Ultra are
installed, then the Rescue and Recovery program prompts you to
uninstall any previous versions of Rapid Restore Ultra including all
backups made by prior versions of the program during installation of
the Rescue and Recovery program.
Consideration 9
The video RAM that came with your computer might have a default
capacity that is less than 8MB. Having a video RAM lower than 8MB
might adversely affect performance of the Rescue and Recovery
program. For computers using shared memory, the video RAM must be
set between 4MB and 8MB. Video RAM is changed by entering BIOS on
your computer.
Consideration 10
You can use a USB memory key to rescue files within
the Rescue and Recovery workspace. However, you cannot boot from a
USB memory key.
Consideration 11
The Rescue and Recovery workspace does not support booting from a
DVD-RAM disc. As a result, do not create rescue media, Product
Recovery CDs, backups, or archive backups where the first disc of the
set is DVD-RAM media. Other DVD formats are supported.
Consideration 12
Computers that have a hidden protected area (HPA), also referred
to as PARTIES, and have the Rescue and Recovery program installed
will not be able to boot into either the PARTIES or Rescue and
Recovery workspace after recovering the original factory contents.
To enable the PARTIES area again, restore a backup using either the
Rescue and Recovery program in the Windows environment or by booting
from rescue media and then uninstall the Rescue and Recovery program.
Consideration 13
Close all applications before attempting to restore from the
Rescue and Recovery workspace. Failing to close applications might
lead to performance problems.
Consideration 14
When restoring the operating system and application from a Rescue
and Recovery backup, you might need to reinstall applications that
have been added since the creation of the selected backup.
Consideration 15
To restore original factory contents on computers that have the Rescue
and Recovery 1.0 program installed, reinstall the Rescue and Recovery
program after restoring the original factory contents. After reinstalling
the Rescue and Recovery 2.0 program perform a backup operation . It is a
good idea to dispose of old rescue media and to create new rescue media
after the Rescue and Recovery 2.0 program is reinstalled.
Consideration 16
For security purposes, it is a good idea not to backup to a shared
network drive from a computer that is logged on with administrative
privileges. However, if a computer with administrative privileges
does backup to a shared network drive, the computer will no longer
have read/write access to the drive. In order to delete any backups
from the shared network drive you will need to either provide write
access to the computer after performing the backup operation or log
in as another user without administrative privileges.
Consideration 17
Booting from a diskette typically takes more time than booting from
other types of media. After you boot from the Recovery Repair Diskette,
a menu selection is displayed before all of the information on the
diskette is loaded. Wait for all diskette activity to end before making
any menu selections. Ensure that the diskette LED light is not on to
determine that all diskette activity has ended. Making selections while
the Recovery Repair Diskette is still loading might result in making
unintended menu selections.
Consideration 18
When Rescue and Recovery is installed without the Client Security
Solution application, the embedded security chip is still used, when
available, to secure backups. Consequently, TPM utilities are
installed to help manage the security chip, such as a utility to enable
or disable the security chip and a utility for clearing the chip lockout
state. These tools are available only through a command-line interface.
These executable files for these tools are found in the following
directory:
Program FilesThinkVantageClient Security Solution
For more information on these utilities, see the ThinkVantage Rescue and
Recovery Deployment guide.
Problems corrected in this version of the software:
