Respective Users

Dear user,

Thank you for purchasing your new Lenovo notebook computer!

Before using this product, make sure to read this user guide carefully.

We are pleased that you have chosen Lenovo for your mobile computing

needs. To help you master the usage of your new computer quickly, we

Explanation of hard disk capacity

I. Different standards used by the manufacturer and operating

Dear user,

While using your computer, you may find that the nominal hard disk

capacity indicated is somewhat different from the disk capacity

displayed by the operating system. For example, a nominal 40GB hard

disk will appear as less than 40GB in the operating system. This

discrepancy is not an error in hard disk installation nor any other

problem, but a normal phenomenon of computers. This phenomenon is

empty, the capacity displayed by the operating system will be:

system when calculating hard disk capacity

Hard disk manufacturers use a radix of 1000, i.e., 1G = 1,000MB, 1MB =

1,000KB, 1KB = 1,000 bytes. However, when identifying hard disk capacity,

operating systems use a radix of 1024, i.e., 1GB = 1,024MB, 1MB = 1,024KB,

1KB = 1,024 bytes. The standard adopted by your computer is that of the

hard disk manufacturers. Since the standards adopted by the hard disk

manufacturer and operating system are different, the hard disk capacity

displayed by the operating system will be different from the nominal hard

disk capacity.

For example, if the hard disk is nominally X G, even when it is completely

II. A portion of the hard disk space is used for specific purposes

In addition, if a portion of the hard disk space has been used for some

specific purpose, then the capacity indicated by the operating system will

Lenovo computers may come with preinstalled OneKey Rescue System, so

the hard disk has a special portion partitioned before delivery, which is

used to store hard disk mirror and OneKey Rescue System program files.

The size of the reserved space for this partition varies according to the

model, operating system and software of the computer. For the sake of

safety, this partition is not apparent, which is commonly referred to as a

“hidden partition”.

In addition, after the hard disk is partitioned or formatted, the system will

assign a certain amount of hard disk space for the system files.

For the above reasons, the available hard disk space indicated by the

operating system is always less than the computer’s nominal hard disk

capacity.
