Re: Disk Management
Hi Bob,
Thanks for the update - many laptop manufacturers have a similar system , although they use different names for their recovery systems.
Lenovo put their recovery program on what they label the C partition (along with their other pre-installed programs and the windows operating system.
Obviously, they don't recommend messing with this C drive in case you delete or overwrite that recovery program.
( Merely extending the C drive will not damage any programs on it - however, if the resizing involved deleting that partition, or formatting the existing volume, then it would - it is easier for them to say don't touch it ).
When you start that recovery program ( which they call Onekey ), it heads off to get the files it needs to restore your machine to factory condition. These files are kept on a separate partition. They call this the Service partition.
This Service partition is on your internal hard drive, it is not visible in Windows ( i.e. in the Computer window - but it will be visible in Disk Management ), it does not have a drive letter and is 18-20gb in size.
The partition that fits that description is the Eisa partition - I don't recommend deleting this.
It looks to me as if the copy of Onekey you made is the last logical ( green )drive on the right in your first screenshot of Disk Management - which you have named Onekey and given drive letter of K.
Hope this helps
