Notes

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

notices. We have done our best to avoid any errors in making sure that the

information provided in this manual is accurate and reliable. However, due

to the short length of the user guide it is impossible to cover all topics in

great depth. For this reason, we apologize for any omissions you might

find.

Lenovo is always trying to improve the performance and reliability of its

products. For that reason, the hardware and software components shown

within the user guide might not perfectly match those of your system.

However, any inconsistencies between what is described in the user guide

and the operations of your computer should not substantially affect your

use.

Thanks for your cooperation!

Explanation of hard disk capacity

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 80GB hard

disk will appear as less than 80GB 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:

I. Different standards used by the manufacturer and operating

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

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

be even less than X × 0.931 G.

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

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.
