Using Rescue System

Attention: Using OneKey Recovery will result in loss of data.

Notes:

• You can restore the C: drive of the computer to factory default settings or to the last system backup status

using OneKey Recovery. If you do this, all of the existing data on drive C: will be lost, but the content and
format of the other partitions of the hard disk drive will remain unchanged.

If you want to install an operating system and back it up with OneKey Recovery, you must format the

C: partition in NTFS format and install the operating system on the C: partition. Otherwise, the OneKey
Recovery system cannot run.

Note about the service partition:

The files and relevant data used by the rescue system are saved in the service partition. Deleting this
partition will make the rescue system unusable. For more detailed information, see the following instructions:

From the Search charm, select Apps Control Panel Administrative Tools Computer Management
Disk Management, you can see the service partition, which must not be deleted.

Note: The recovery files and relevant data used by the rescue system are saved in the service partition. If
the service partition is deleted or damaged by someone other than authorized Lenovo service personnel,
Lenovo will not be liable for any losses arising therefrom in any way.
