Re: Disk Management
For information purposes, this is a little backround information about my system from Lenovo:
Lenovo creates three partitions on the installed Hard Disk Drive:
· The smaller drive commonly known as the C drive which contains Windows and your pre-installed software. The C drive should NOT be resized otherwise your OneKey recovery may no longer operate.
· The larger drive known as the D drive which is ready for storing your personal data files such as videos, music, pictures etc. Both the C and D drives are visible in Windows but the D drive is MUCH larger to hold all your personal data. The C drive should NOT be resized otherwise your OneKey recovery may no longer operate.
· The Service Partition (the partition without a drive letter) is used by the OneKey recovery system to backup and recover the C partition. This invisible partition requires only 18GB to 20GB of HDD space. The service partition should NOT be deleted otherwise your OneKey recovery will no longer operate.
And here is what I have done since my last POST.
I disconnected the External ?Z" Drive and my system was able to boot just fine and appears to operate as it did when the External Drive was connected.
I created a OneKey Backup with the External Drive disconnected so I have to beliece that the 18GB Partition (that I inadvertently created) is NOT "associated" with the Lenovo OneKey Recovery program.
I am going to try and connect the External Drive to another system (Toshiba Laptop) to see if the Drive is recognized on that system and will report back later.
Thank you again for your help and patients guys,
