Recovering pre-installed software

You can use either the Rescue and Recovery program or the Rescue and Recovery workspace to restore the contents of the hard disk to an earlier state using any of the stored backups. The Rescue and Recovery workspace runs independently of the Windows operating system. Therefore, you can start it by pressing the ThinkVantage button when prompted during startup.

After the Rescue and Recovery workspace opens you can perform a recovery operation, even if you are unable to start Windows. For more information about using Rescue and Recovery features, see “Data backup-and-restore tools” or “Introducing Rescue and Recovery” in Access Help.

To recover the hard disk to its original contents, do the following:

Notes:

1.If the optical drive is not attached to your ThinkPad computer during recovery, DVD software and CD-recording software will not be installed. To ensure that they will be installed correctly, install the optical drive in the Ultrabay Slim or Ultrabay Enhanced before performing a recovery operation.

2.The recovery process might take up to 2 hours.

Attention: All of the files on the primary hard disk partition (usually drive C) will be lost in the recovery process. However, before any data is overwritten, you will be given the opportunity to save one or more files to other media.

1.If possible, save all your files and shut down your operating system.

2.Turn off your computer for at least 5 seconds.

3.Turn on your computer. Watch the display carefully. While the message, “To interrupt normal startup, press the ThinkVantage button” is displayed at the lower left of the screen, press the ThinkVantage button. The Rescue and Recovery workspace opens.

4.Click Restore your system.

5.Click Restore my hard drive to the original factory state and then click Next.

6.Follow the instructions on the screen.

7.When the recovery process finishes, press the Enter key. Your computer will restart with the pre-installed operating system, drivers, and software.

Upgrading the hard disk drive

You can increase the storage capacity of your computer by replacing the hard disk drive with one of greater capacity. You can purchase a new hard disk drive from your reseller or Lenovo marketing representative.
