Custom restoration win xp x40 possible?

#1 Post by makeitcount » Fri Feb 29, 2008 11:20 am

I have the restore cd's but obviously I don't get any way to do the custom restoration (where you pick what you want installed). I then downloaded the 4.2 rescue and recovery, where it says I will get the option, but I don't. Anyone who got any recommendations on what to do?

Thanks

Try # 3 item from the following files:

Custom Factory Restore.

Cool thanks!

You've been an excellent help (I've read quite a few of your posts). Will try once the new cds show up, but seems like this would do the trick.

TY once again.

Still no luck, tried installing but I still don't get the option to do a custom factory restore.

Uninstall the previous version of Rescue and Recovery 4.x.

Download the 1-4 packages (from the link) in a folder, name it New Folder, during the installation of main package, file #3 will be installed.

An alternative method is when you install Rescue and Recovery 4.2 (standalone version), the package tells you to discard previous media and to create new recovery disks, after doing so, format your entire HDD (before backing up your data 1st) and use those new recovery disks, after installing and updating everything in Windows through lenovo System Update, go to pre-desktop area and try to restore again, it should present you with a custom restore option.

Let me know how it goes.
