Creating and using rescue media

Rescue media enables you to start the Rescue and Recovery program from CD or DVD. Rescue media is extremely important if you are unable to access the Rescue and Recovery program using the Enter or F11 key.

To create rescue media, do the following:

1.From the Windows desktop, click Start, click All Programs, click Lenovo Care, then click Create Recovery Media.

2.Select the radio button for the type of rescue media you want to create.

3.Click OK.

4.Follow the instructions on the screen.

To use rescue media, do one of the following:

vInsert the rescue disc (CD or DVD) into your CD or DVD drive, then restart your computer.

vAttach your rescue USB hard disk drive to one of the USB connectors on your computer, then restart your computer.

When the rescue media starts, the Rescue and Recovery workspace opens. Help for each feature is available from the Rescue and Recovery workspace. If your rescue media fails to start, you might not have your rescue device (CD drive or DVD drive) set correctly in your BIOS startup sequence. See “Setting a rescue device in the startup sequence” on page 18 for more information.

Creating and using a Recovery Repair diskette

If you are unable to start the Rescue and Recovery workspace, use a Recovery Repair diskette to reinstall a file that controls access to the workspace. It is a good idea to create a Recovery Repair diskette as soon as possible and store it in a safe place.

1.If you are not already connected to the Internet, connect now.
