 Connecting USB devices

You can connect a USB device to your computer by inserting its USB plug (Type A) into the USB port on your computer.

The first time you plug a USB device into a particular USB port on your computer, Windows automatically installs a driver for that device. After the driver has been installed, you can disconnect and reconnect the device without performing any additional steps.

Note: Typically, Windows detects a new device after it has been connected, and then installs

the driver automatically. However, some devices may require you to install the driver before connecting. Check the documentation provided by the device’s manufacturer before connecting the device.

Before disconnecting a USB storage device, make sure your computer has finished transferring data to that device. Click the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon in the Windows notification area to remove the device before disconnecting.

Note: If your USB device uses a power cord, connect the device to a power source before

connecting it. Otherwise, the device may not be recognized.

Chapter 2. Lenovo OneKey Recovery system

The Lenovo OneKey Recovery system is software designed to back up and restore your computer. You can use it to restore the system partition to its original status in case of a system failure. You can also create user backups for easy restoration as required.

Notes:

• If your computer is preinstalled with a GNU/Linux/DOS operating system, OneKey

Recovery system is not available.

• To utilize the features of the OneKey Recovery system, your hard disk already includes a

hidden partition by default to store the system image file and the OneKey Recovery system program files. This default partition is hidden for security reasons, which explains why the available disk space is less than the stated capacity.

• You can choose a back-up location on the local hard disk drive or an external storage

device.

• Remove the removable hard disk drive before starting the Lenovo OneKey Recovery

system. Otherwise, data from the removable hard disk drive might be lost.

• The back-up process may take a while.

• The back-up process is only available when Windows can be started normally.

Page 16

Chapter 2. Lenovo OneKey Recovery system
