Do not delete this partition. Otherwise, the rescue system will become unusable.
For detailed operations, see the following instructions:
By selecting Control Panel →Management Tools → Computer Management
→Disk Management, you can see the service partition, which must not be
deleted.
Note: The recovery files and relevant data of the rescue system are saved
in the service partition. If the service partition is deleted or damaged by
someone other than Lenovo maintainers, Lenovo shall not be liable for any
losses arising therefrom in any way.
Rescue system and keyboard operation
The rescue system works only if it runs together with the standard-configuration
keyboard of this model. If there is no keyboard of standard configuration, the
rescue system function will not work normally.
2.1 Installing Drivers and Software Shipped with
Computer
The “Installing drivers and software” in the rescue system provides a way for the
user to install the drivers and software shipped with the computer conveniently. It
can install all drivers and software shipped with the computer automatically, and
can selectively install some of the drivers and software as required by the user.
Method 1: Automatic Installation
Power on the computer. When the screen displays the “Lenovo” picture initially,
press the “LVT” key on the keyboard to start the Rescue System, select Install
drivers and software.
Install them as prompted. Click Install to start installing the drivers and software.
The system restarts. After the system is restarted, the installation process goes on
until completion.
Method 2: Manual Installation
Launch

Application Installation. In the main interface of software, install all the drivers and
software automatically, or install some of them selectively.
In the software list, check the software to be installed. It is recommended not to
install the software which is already on the computer.
Note: In order to use all software shipped with the computer properly,
the tool software pctype must be installed. Otherwise, certain software
shipped with the computer cannot work normally!
2.2 OneKey Recovery
Main functions:
1. If a Windows operating system is preinstalled in your computer, the OneKey
Recovery function works in the following way:
Recover Factory Backup: Recover the computer system partition (drive C) to
the original factory default settings.
Note: After this operation, all existing data in the system partition will
be lost and other partitions on the disk will remain unchanged. In order
to prevent loss of data, be sure to back up important data before this
operation.
2. If a Windows operating system is not preinstalled in your computer, the
OneKey Recovery function will instead contain the following two functions:
Create base backup: Without factory backup, the Lenovo OneKey Recovery
enables you to back up all data of the current system partition manually after
installing the operating system and common software. Upon completion of base
backup, you can use the Recover Base Backup function to recover the system
partition to the original factory default settings.
Note: Create base backup only can be used once. Once the user has
performed the operation of base backup, this operation cannot be used
anymore.
It is recommended to perform this operation after installing the Windows
operating system and the drivers & software shipped together with the
computer.
Otherwise, the backup space is insufficient.
Recover base backup: This operation recovers the computer system partition
(drive C) to the state of base backup.

Note: After this operation, all existing data in the system partition will
be lost, and other partitions on the disk will remain unchanged. In order
to prevent loss of data, be sure to back up important data before this
operation.
Note: Do not change the size of partition drive C after the backup
operation. This will ensure that the required space for every recovery
option is available.
Detailed Operation Procedure (example: Recovering Factory Backup):
1. Power on the computer. When the screen displays the Lenovo picture initially,
press the LVT key on the keyboard to start the Rescue System, where you can
select OneKey Recovery.
2. Select Recover Factory Backup to start the system recovery function.
Note: System Recovery will overwrite all of the data in drive C; In order to
prevent loss of data, be sure to back up relevant data before performing
system recovery.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions, and press E on the keyboard to start recovery
if you are sure you want to recover.
4. Please wait during the process of system recovery. Do not interrupt the
operation during the recovery process.
5. After the system is recovered successfully, the software prompts to restart the
computer. Restart the computer and enter the system.
2.3 File Management
With the File Management module, you may access the critical data in directories
such as Desktop or Document of the system partition (usually drive C) when the
system crashes and is irrecoverable, and backup such data into other partitions or
storage devices.
Launch
Power on the computer. When the “Lenovo” picture appears on the screen initially,
press the “LVT” key to launch Rescue System. Then select File Management.
File Backup
Select the file and folder to be copied in the left dialog box, and select the target
folder and drive letter in the right dialog box. The drive letter of the source file must

File Backup
Wait while copying.
Note: Please wait while copying; time for this operation depends on the
quantity and size of files you need to copy. Do not turn off the power
forcefully, otherwise it might cause file system abnormality.
Configuring a Password
Click the key-shape icon on the upper right side of the main interface to configure
the password.
To ensure authentication of the user ID who is copying the files, the Lenovo file
management function enables you to configure a protection password - the user
is unable to access the files in your hard disk drive partitions without passing the
password authentication.
The default password is blank.
File management provides the search function, and backs up the searched files.
Input the file or file type to be searched, click Search on the lower side to start
searching files.
Precautions:
1. In the process of copying files, do not cut off the power supply of the
computer. Otherwise, it may damage the files in the hard disk drive.
2. The disk partition identifier in the file management interface may fail to
correspond to that in the Windows system. Select it according to the
directory content.
3. The file copying function cannot be performed in the same partition. If the
source address and the target address share the same partition, the Copy
button is disabled.
2.4 OneKey Antivirus
The OneKey Antivirus is independent of the operating system. It can implement
general virus scan and killing, and can scan and kill viruses even when the
Windows cannot start and the antivirus software cannot work as a result of virus
infection, thus solving the problem of inability of using the computer after the virus
damages the operating system.
Launch
Power on the computer. When the “Lenovo” picture appears on the screen initially,
press the “LVT” key to launch Rescue System. Then select OneKey Antivirus.
