Restoring factory contents

Instead of providing a recovery disc or a Windows disc with your computer, Lenovo provides simpler alternative 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 misplaced discs and problems associated with using an incorrect disc version.

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.
