Restoring

factory

contents

Instead

of

providing

a

recovery

disc

or

a

Windows

disc

with

your

computer,

Lenovo

provides

simpler

methods

of

accomplishing

the

tasks

typically

associated

with

these

discs.

The

files

and

programs

for

these

alternative

methods

are

on

your

hard

disk,

which

eliminates

having

to

locate

a

misplaced

disc

and

problems

associated

with

using

an

incorrect

version

of

the

disc.

The

complete

backup

of

all

the

files

and

programs

that

Lenovo

preinstalled

on

your

computer

resides

in

a

hidden

protected

area,

or

partition,

of

the

hard

disk.

Although

hidden,

the

backups

in

the

partition

consume

hard

disk

space.

Therefore,

when

checking

the

capacity

of

your

hard

disk

according

to

Windows,

you

might

note

that

the

total

capacity

of

the

disk

appears

to

be

smaller

than

anticipated.

This

discrepancy

is

explained

by

the

contents

of

the

hidden

partition.

The

Product

Recovery

Program

contained

within

this

area

enables

you

to

restore

the

complete

contents

of

your

hard

disk

to

the

same

state

as

it

was

when

originally

shipped

from

the

factory.

To

recover

the

hard

disk

to

its

original

contents,

do

the

following:
