Uninstall then reinstall IBM Rescue & Recovery?

[stevie02476]

I would like to temporarily uninstall IBM Rescue & Recovery, using the Add & Remove Programs utility from the Control Panels. How would I be able to re-install it then? Can the installer be downloaded from Lenovo?

I have a T42 with XP SP2.

On the hard disk is:

c:\ibmtools\apps\ibmrnr\ibmrnr.exe (387MB)
c:\ibmtools\rrcd\ibmrnrus.iso (280MB)

Could either of these be used to re-install Rescue & Recovery if I uninstall it?

Thanks for tips! -Steve

Someone might chime in with reasons not to do it, but if you are going to do it...I would recommend using the Software Installer to remove it, instead of the Add/Remove programs feature. Software Installer can then reinstall it at a later date.

Version 2 of IBM Rescue and Recovery with Rapid Restore (i.e. IBM Rapid Restore Ultra 4.0) does not show up in Software Installer. I uninstalled this version previously using Windows Add or Remove Programs with no ill effects. I did install version 3 of Rescue and Recovery after uninstalling version 2 and rebooting. Presently I just have version 2 installed since I used the Product Recovery Disc set.

Hmmm, good to know. Thanks Gom!
