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
have prepared this user guide. In this manual you will find information on
the system configuration, basic operating instructions, and important
S10-3s UserGuide V1.0_en.book Page 2 Thursday, January 7, 2010 10:53 AM
While using your computer, you may find that the nominal hard disk
Explanation of hard disk capacity
Dear user,
I. Different standards used by the manufacturer and operating
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
primarily due to the following reasons:
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
empty, the capacity displayed by the operating system will be:
X × 1000 × 1000 × 1000/ (1024 × 1024 × 1024) | X × 0.931 G
S10-3s UserGuide V1.0_en.book Page 3 Thursday, January 7, 2010 10:53 AM
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.
be even less than X × 0.931 G.

Introduction
The Lenovo OneKey Rescue system is an easy-to-use application that can
be used to back up the data on your system partition (C drive) for easy
restore when required. You can run Lenovo OneKey Recovery under the
Windows operating system, and the OneKey Rescue system without
starting the Windows operating system.
In order to utilize the features of the OneKey Rescue system, your hard
disk already includes a hidden partition by default to store the system
image file and OneKey Rescue system program files. This default partition
is hidden for security reasons and is the reason the available disk space is
less than it claims. The exact available hard disk space depends on the file
size of the mirror image file (based on the size of operating system and
pre-installed software).
