Restoring the factory contents by using OneKey Recovery
Restore of factory default
The Lenovo G470/G475/G570/G575 computers come with pre-installed
OneKey Rescue System.In order to save application files and the initial backed
up files of the system, the hard disk in a Lenovo computer 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 Lenovo OneKey Rescue System and run Restore
to factory default. For details of OneKey Rescue System, see the User Guide
for OneKey Rescue System.
Note: This will delete all the new data on the system partition (C drive), which
is not recoverable. Make sure to back up your critical data before you perform this
action.
Using recovery discs
When you replace a hard disk drive in your computer, you are unable to use
the pre-installed Lenovo OneKey Recovery and OneKey Rescue. However, you
can use the recovery discs that store your backed up data to restore your new
hard drive to a previous backup status.
Note: You can create recovery discs by burning the backup image to a CD/DVD
as recovery discs. For details of Create recovery discs, see the User Guide for
OneKey Rescue System.
