Chapter 1. Getting to know your computer  
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.  
Backing up the system partition  
You can back up the system partition to an image file. This image file can be  
used to restore the system partition. To back up the system partition:  
1 In Windows, press the Novo button or double-click OneKey Recovery  
icon to start the Lenovo OneKey Recovery system.  
2 Click System Backup.  
3 Select a back-up location and click Next to start the backup.  
Notes:  
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.  
11  
 
 
Chapter 2. Lenovo OneKey Recovery system  
Restoring  
You can choose to restore the system partition to its original status or to a  
previously created back-up point. To restore the system partition:  
1 In Windows, press the Novo button or double-click OneKey Recovery  
icon to start the Lenovo OneKey Recovery system.  
2 Click System Recovery. The computer will restart to the recovery  
environment.  
3 Follow the on-screen instructions to restore the system partition to its  
original status or to a previously created back-up point.  
Notes:  
The recovery process is irreversible. Make sure to back up any data you wish to save on  
the system partition before starting the recovery process.  
The recovery process may take a while. So be sure to connect the AC power adapter to  
your computer during the recovery process.  
The above instructions should be followed when Windows can be started normally.  
If Windows cannot be started, then follow the steps below to start the Lenovo  
OneKey Recovery system:  
1 Shut down the computer.  
2 Press the Novo button. From the Novo Button Menu, select System  
Recovery and press Enter.
