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.
For more information about recovering your hard disk to the original preinstalled contents, see
"Recovering pre-installed software" on page 29, or refer to your on-board help source, Access Help. To
open Access Help, press the Access IBM button, then select Access Help from the menu.
