not found and checked out before printing.
Please bear with us because there might also be some uncontrolled
omissions while printing, binding or distributing.
Because we are trying to improve the full performance and reliability of our
equipment, the hardware and software components might need some little
adjustment. In this case, this might lead to an inconsistency in the actual
makeup of the equipment to that of the information stated in the manual,
but it will not substantially affect your use.
Thanks for your cooperation!
In addition, if a portion of the hard disk space has been used for some
specific purpose, then the capacity indicated by the operating system will
be even less than X 0.931 G.
II. A portion of the hard disk space is used for specific purposes

the hard disk has a special portion partitioned before delivery, which is
used to store hard disk mirror and OneKey Rescue System program files.
The size of the reserved space for this partition varies according to the
model, operating system and software of the computer. For the sake of
safety, this partition is not apparent, which is commonly referred to as a
hidden partition.
In addition, after the hard disk is partitioned or formatted, the system will
assign a certain amount of hard disk space for the system files.
For the above reasons, the available hard disk space indicated by the
operating system is always less than the computers nominal hard disk
capacity.

Introduction
The Lenovo OneKey Rescue System is an easy-to-use application that can
be used to back up the data on your system partition (C drive) for easy
restore when required. You can run Lenovo OneKey Rescue under a
Windows operating system, and the OneKey Rescue System without
starting the Windows operating system.
Attention:
In order to utilize the features of the OneKey Rescue System, your hard
disk already includes a hidden partition by default to store a system
image file and OneKey Rescue System program files. This default
partition is hidden for security reasons and is the reason the available
disk space is less than it claims. The exact available hard disk space
depends on the file size of the mirror image file (based on the size of
operating system and preinstalled software).
You can use the Restore to factory default feature to restore the system
partition (C drive) back to the factory default, i.e., the state your
computer was when you purchased it. Make sure you back up any
critical data stored on the system partition (C drive) to other media, such
as another disk partition, CD/DVD discs or removable storage devices.

Replacing the hard disk drive --------------------------------------You can increase the storage capacity of your computer by replacing the
hard disk drive with one of greater capacity. You can purchase a new hard
disk drive from your reseller or Lenovo marketing representative.
Notes:
Replace the hard disk drive only if you upgrade it or have it repaired. The
connectors and bay of the hard disk drive were not designed for frequent
changes, or drive swapping.
The preinstalled softwares are not included on an optional hard disk drive.
Do not drop the drive or subject it to physical shocks. Put the drive on a
material, such as soft cloth, that absorbs the physical shock.
Do not apply pressure to the cover of the drive.
Do not touch the connector.
The drive is very sensitive. Incorrect handling can cause damage and
permanent loss of data on the hard disk. Before removing the hard disk
drive, make a backup copy of all the information on the hard disk, and then
turn the computer off. Never remove the drive while the system is
operating, in sleep mode, or in hibernation mode.

EU WEEE statements -------------------------------------------------------------The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) mark applies only
to countries within the European Union (EU) and Norway. Appliances are
labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning
waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Directive
determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances
as applicable throughout the European Union. This label is applied to
various products to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but
rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE marking
per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive must not dispose of end of life EEE as
unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to
them for the return, recycle, recovery of WEEE and minimize any potential
effects of EEE on the environment and human health due to the presence of
hazardous substances. For additional WEEE information go to:

Notice on deleting data from your hard disk ---------------As computers spread into every corner of life, they process more and more
information. The data on your computer, some of it sensitive, is stored on a
storage device called the hard disk. Before you dispose of, sell, or hand
over your computer, you need to delete that data.
Handing your computer over to someone else without deleting the loaded
software, such as operating systems and application software, may even
violate License Agreements. You are advised to check the terms and
conditions of those Agreements.
Deleting the data from the hard disk is not easy.
There are methods that seem to delete the data:
Move the data to the recycle bin, and then choose the Empty recycle bin
command.
Use the Delete command.
115
Appendix E. Notices
Format your hard disk, using the software for initializing it.
Using the preinstalled recovery program, bring the hard disk back to
factory-ship state.
These operations, however, only change the file allocation of the data; they
do not delete the data itself. In other words, the data retrieval processing is
disabled under an operating system such as Windows. The data is still
there, even though it seems to be lost. Thus, it is sometimes possible to read
the data by use of special software for data recovery. There is a risk that
people of bad faith may read and misuse the critical data on hard disks for
unexpected purposes.
To prevent the leakage of data, it becomes very important that you take
responsibility for deleting all the data from the hard disk when you dispose
of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can destroy the data physically by
smashing the hard disk with a hammer, or magnetically by means of strong
magnetic power, thus making the data unreadable. But we recommend that
you make use of the software (payware) or service (pay service) specifically
developed for the purpose.
