Network adapters for Rescue and Recovery: The Rescue and Recovery
environment supports only wired PCI-based, Ethernet network adapters. Network
device drivers included in the Rescue and Recovery environment are the same
drivers that are pre-populated in Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating
system and are independent of the Windows operating system. For supported
IBM-branded and Lenovo computers, required drivers are included with Rescue
and Recovery software.
If an OEM network device in your computer is not supported, refer to the device
manufacturer documentation for instructions to add support for system-specific
network drivers. Request drivers from your OEM.
Installation components
This section contains installation components of Rescue and Recovery.
Administrative installation procedure
The Windows Installer can perform an administrative installation of an application
or product to a network for use by a workgroup or for customization. For the
Rescue and Recovery installation package, an administrative installation unpacks
the installation source files to a specified location.
The setup package is available for download from :
http://www.lenovo.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo
&lndocid=MIGR-66933
for Windows 2000 and XP, and
http://www.lenovo.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo
&lndocid=MIGR-67643
for Windows Vista.
To run an administrative installation execute the setup package from the command
line using the /a parameter:
setup.exe /a
An administrative installation presents a wizard that prompts the administrative
user to specify the locations for unpacking the setup files. The default extract
location is C:\. You can choose a new location which may include drives other
than C:\. For example, other local drives or mapped network drives. You can also
create new directories during this step.
To run an administrative installation silently, you can set the public property
TARGETDIR on the command line to specify the extract location:
setup.exe /s /v"/qn TARGETDIR=F:\TVTRR"
Note: If your version of Windows Installer is not current, setup.exe is configured
to update the Windows Installer engine to Version 3.0. This update will cause the
installation action to prompt for a reboot even with an administrative extract
installation. Use the reboot properly to prevent a reboot in this situation. If the
Windows Installer is at least version 3.0, setup.exe will not attempt to install.
or
msiexec.exe /i "Lenovo Rescue and Recovery.msi" /qn TARGERDIR=F:\TVTRR
