Restoring the factory contents by using OneKey Recovery

Restore of factory default

The Lenovo G460e/G560e computers come with pre-installed OneKey Rescue System. In order to save application files and the initial backed up files of the system, the hard disk in a Lenovo computer includes a hidden partition when it is shipped. If you need to restore the system to the point of your first boot up, just enter Lenovo OneKey Rescue System and run Restore to factory default. For details of OneKey Rescue System, see the User Guide for OneKey Rescue System.

Note: This will delete all the new data on the system partition (C drive), which is not recoverable. Make sure to back up your critical data before you perform this action.

Using recovery discs

When you replace a hard disk drive in your computer, you are unable to use the pre-installed Lenovo OneKey Recovery and OneKey Rescue. However, you can use the recovery discs that store your backed up data to restore your new hard drive to a previous backup status.

Note: You can create recovery discs by burning the backup image to a CD/ DVD as recovery discs. For details of Create recovery discs, see the User Guide for OneKey Rescue System.
