Well, I have a 2nd X201 that I can use, and it also works very well, no issues at all! Then I wanted to make a factory setup in the second X201, so I used T410 recovery discs that I have. I used those discs because there are no Windows 7 Pro 64-bit recovery discs in this X201, even searching in the Internet Archive only finds different languages. These discs work very well in the first X201, no issues at all!
Then I tried these discs in the second X201, it only gets up into some parts of the factory recovery. There are errors during the setup, many redistributables fail to install, mostly are 2005. Then when it tries to finish the setup, the sysprep fails with an error message. And then after that, it came with error message saying Windows could not complete the installation. I restarted the computer many times that came up with a same error message. Also, I resetted the bios in this second X201 before doing the factory recovery. Is there any way to solve this without using the discs again?
Specs if needed:
Second X201:
i5 520M
4GB ram
320GB Original HDD

Re: Issues in Lenovo Product Recovery on 2nd X201
Try the first X201 drive in the second X201.
If OK, recover the second X201 drive inside the first X201.

Actually, I did use the discs again in the 2nd X201, and it works, no issues at all! It went all the way to the desktop successfully without any issues!RealBlackStuff wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2024 8:05 amTry the first X201 drive in the second X201.
