Information about hard disk capacity

Instead of providing a recovery CD or a Windows® CD with your computer, Lenovo provides simpler methods of accomplishing the tasks typically associated with these CDs. The files and programs for these alternative methods are on your hard disk, which eliminates having to locate misplaced CDs and problems associated with using an incorrect CD version.

The complete backup of all the files and programs that Lenovo preinstalled on your computer resides in a hidden section, 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. (See “Recovering pre-installed software” on page 36.)

For more information about recovering your hard disk to the original preinstalled contents, refer to your on-system help source, Access IBM. Press the blue Access IBM button or click the Access IBM icon on your desktop, and then browse the Learn section for various topics that cover backing up and recovering.
