    Hi,

    I changed some partitionings on my hard drive, and by mistake I exited out of preboot RnR in the middle of the recovery process on my primary partition. Now whenever I try to go back into preboot RnR, it gives me an error saying the partition is "inaccessible." I am sure I have the recovery partition untouched. I tried installing a fresh Windows 7 and installing RnR hoping that it would re-enable the partition, but it's giving me the same error. Also, when I run RnR while on Windows, it doesn't see the recovery medium available either. Is there any way to access the RnR partition?

    Hrm that's odd, a recovery partition is a recovery partition, it messes with main partition. You could have borked it by quitting out prematurely. I don't know if Lenovo discs will repair or reinstall the recovery partition.
