Introducing
 
Rescue
 
and
 
Recovery
 
If
 
Windows
 
is
 
not
 
running
 
properly,
 
you
 
may
 
need
 
to
 
do
 
the
 
following:
 
v
   
Get
 
the
 
current
 
system
 
information.
 
v
   
Diagnose
 
and
 
troubleshoot
 
a
 
problem.
 
v
   
Rescue
 
a
 
file
 
from
 
your
 
Windows
 
environment
 
or
 
restore
 
backed-up
 
files,
 
provided
 
you
 
have
 
made
 
backups
 
by
 
use
 
of
 
the
 
Rescue
 
and
 
Recovery
 
program.
 
v
   
Configure
 
your
 
computer
 
or
 
start
 
the
 
BIOS
 
Setup
 
Utility.
All
 
this
 
can
 
be
 
achieved
 
from
 
the
 
ThinkVantage
 
Rescue
 
and
 
Recovery
 
workspace.
 
Turn
 
on
 
your
 
computer,
 
and,
 
when
 
the
 
following
 
message
 
is
 
displayed,
 
press
 
the
 
ThinkVantage
 
button:
 
″To
 
interrupt
 
normal
 
startup,
 
press
 
the
 
blue
 
ThinkVantage
 
button.
 
The
 
ThinkVantage
 
Rescue
 
and
 
Recovery
 
workspace
 
opens.
 
For
 
more
 
information
 
about
 
using
 
Rescue
 
and

features,

“Recovery

section
 
of

Restoring
 
factory
 
contents
 
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
 
protected
 
area,
 
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.
 
The
 
Product
 
Recovery
 
Program
 
contained
 
within
 
this
 
area
 
enables
 
you
 
to
 
restore
 
the
 
complete
 
contents
 
of
 
your
 
hard
 
disk
 
to
 
the
 
same
 
state
 
as
 
it
 
was
 
when
 
originally
 
shipped
 
from
 
the
 
factory.
 
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.
