Introduction
The Lenovo OneKey Rescue System is an easy-to-use application that can
be used to back up the data on your system partition (C drive) for easy
restore when required. You can run Lenovo OneKey Recovery under a
Windows operating system, and the OneKey Rescue System without
starting the Windows operating system.
Attention:
In order to utilize the features of the OneKey Rescue System, your hard
disk already includes a hidden partition by default to store a system
image file and OneKey Rescue System program files. This default
partition is hidden for security reasons and is the reason the available
disk space is less than it claims. The exact available hard disk space
depends on the file size of the mirror image file (based on the size of
operating system and pre-installed software).
You can use the Restore to factory default feature to restore the system
partition (C drive) back to the factory default, i.e., the state your
computer was when you purchased it. However, once you restore to this
state, you will not be able to restore the system to another previously
backed up state. Therefore, make sure you back up any critical data
stored on the system partition (C drive) to other media, such as another
disk partition, CD/DVD discs or removable storage devices.

Using Lenovo OneKey Recovery in Windows
In Windows, you can create a backup of an entire system partition, saving
it your local hard disk. You can back up your data to a CD, DVD, network
drive or other removable disk. In addition, you can also create Windows
recovery disc(s) to boot and recover your system.
Create full backup
There are two backup types that can be created: full backup and
incremental backup. Selecting Full backup backs up your system partition
to a folder on the hard disk in order to recover it in the future. The program
will save the backed up data to the default location, i.e., to
D:\Lenovo\OneKey App\OneKey Recovery. You may also select another
destination, such as a removable storage device, network drive or a CD/
DVD.
If you choose to back up the system partition to a disc (CD/DVD), the
created discs can be used to recover your system to the current status.
We suggest you do the following before you create recovery discs:
Use the latest version of your system’s anti-virus software to scan your
computer and make sure it is virus-free.
Optimize your system, including scanning and defragmenting your hard
disk drive.
Note:
The backup process may take a long time, connect the AC adapter
and battery
pack to your computer.

Chapter 4. OneKey Rescue System
Create Incremental backup
An incremental backup is a backup of your data based on previous backed
up files located in the default path. This backup includes different data
than the full backup, such as application variations and user data.
Incremental backup can only be saved to the default path; it cannot be
backed up to another location.
Create recovery disc
You can burn the backup image to CD/DVDs as recovery discs. The
recovery discs can be used to boot up your computer automatically and
restore your system back to previously backed up status. If your hard disk
fails and you are unable to use Lenovo OneKey Recovery on your
computer, you can use these discs to recover your system on a reformatted
hard drive.
Notes:
•For the computers without an optical drive, an external optical drive is needed to
backup or to create a recovery disc.
•A full backup needs considerable storage space, be sure to have enough CDs/
DVDs in hand.
•Please make sure to create recovery discs, so that you can recover your system,
even when replacing the hard drive.
•After the recovery discs are burned, please number them so that you can use
them in order.
•When burning the recovery discs, please use good quality discs with to ensure
the burning process and backed up data is complete and correct.

Restore of factory default
In order to save application files and the initial backed up files of the
system, the hard disk in a Lenovo PC 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 the Lenovo OneKey Rescue System and run Restore to factory
default. This will delete all the new data on the system partition
(C partition), which is not recoverable. Make sure to back up any critical
data before you run this feature.
Restore from backup
If you want to recover the system to a previous status, you just need to
enter Lenovo OneKey Rescue, and select Restore from user’s backup.
Select the appropriate image file or, if you have run incremental backup
before, you can use the incremental file to restore your system.
The process above will remove all data on the current system partition
(C partition), which is not recoverable. Please back up any important data
before restoring to a previous backup.
Using recovery discs
When you replace a hard disk drive in your computer, you will be unable
to use the pre-installed Lenovo OneKey Recovery and OneKey Rescue
System. However, you can use the recovery discs that store your backed up
data to restore your new hard drive to a previous backup status.
When you use the recovery discs to boot your computer, the system will
enter the system recovery user interface automatically. Please follow the

process.
Back up my data
Within the Lenovo OneKey Rescue System you can transfer your data from
your computer’s hard disk to other devices, so you may easily find it if
your Windows system ever encounters a critical failure.
System repair
When you use the Lenovo OneKey Rescue System, the program detects
whether Windows has been damaged. If the system kernel files are
damaged, the Lenovo OneKey Rescue System will prompt you to proceed
with a system repair. The system will reboot after the repair process is
complete. If there are no damaged files, the Lenovo OneKey Rescue System
should start normally.
System repair only works for system data files. Using this feature will
not affect your own data.
Set and manage user password
You can set up your user password within Lenovo OneKey Rescue System
to ensure other users cannot use the system recovery or Back Up My Data
functions.
By default, the user password within the Lenovo OneKey Rescue System is
blank and it is recommended that you immediately set a new password to
ensure your system is protected.

Replacing 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.
The drive is very sensitive. Incorrect handling can cause damage and
permanent loss of data on the hard disk. Before removing the hard disk
drive, make a backup copy of all the information on the hard disk, and then
turn the computer off. Never remove the drive while the system is
operating, in standby mode, or in hibernation mode.
Notes:
•Replace the hard disk drive only if you upgrade it or have it repaired. The
connectors and bay of the hard disk drive were not designed for frequent
changes, or drive swapping.
•The preinstalled softwares are not included on an optional hard disk drive.
Handling a hard disk drive
•Do not drop the drive or subject it to physical shocks. Put the drive on a
material, such as soft cloth, that absorbs the physical shock.
•Do not apply pressure to the cover of the drive.
•Do not touch the connector.
