THINKPAD REMOVES THE HIDDEN PARTITION

It's not a big problem, don't worry about it.

ThinkPad hidden partition is needed by ThinkPad's Rescue&Recovery program,Probably occupies5-10G hard disk space,Keep it for backup systems and other partition data,If you don't use this R&R software much, it doesn't matter,But press the blue button on the keyboard and don't enter the interface of this program。

I also had it when I started with my Thinkpad, and it didn't take long to install the XP and completely delete and repartition it. Otherwise, it would be a pity that such a large partition would be wasted.

If you want to back up your system or other partitions, there are a lot of software that supports it.

Yes, there is no problem with this operation. With PQMic, you can delete the hidden partition directly under Vista, and then restart it, and the machine will perform the partition deletion process by itself.

There is no need to delete the hidden partition.

PM is also not suitable for use under vista.

Win7 can be installed virtually under the Vista system, or it can be booted and formatted C pure installation.

I use win7 and xp dual system,I don't need to delete the hidden partition at all.。。。

When you install win7, you can put the disk in full grid.

It's all over the place.

It's best not to forcibly delete it, it will cause the ThinkPad to crash.

Partitions: Area 4 and Area 5 are all system hidden partitions, and the use of one is the system recovery area (Area 5).

The primary partition is a part of the hard disk that the user can see, such as disk C, D, F, OEM contains the backup system and drivers, this is Lenovo's one-click recovery feature, you can't use one-click recovery after deletion, but other operating system recovery is still available.

The main function of one-click restore is to directly press the function key on the computer keyboard to restore when the computer crashes or even fails to start. Recovery of the operating system is only available in the operating system after booting. After removing the OEM, you can save nearly 15GB of hard drive space.

It is generally not recommended to delete these partitions, which will affect the system recovery function, of course, if you want to change to another operating system and are not ready to restore the factory system, delete them all.

1 (winre drv) initial boot partition.

5 (Lenovo Recovery) ThinkPad recovery system.

It's best not to forcibly delete, if you want to partition directly divide the partition 4 into several areas, the other 1-3, 5 areas are system hidden partitions, the use is a system recovery area (5 areas), 1-3 areas should be the touch function of the relevant guarantee function partition, so it is recommended not to move the area, 4 area is the win8 area, after booting into the win8 interface, get out of the control panel, find the disk manager, and then select partition 4, select the compressed volume, a dialog box appears, enter the size, OK, Repeat the steps above until you have assigned a disk area, then click New Disk Partition and follow the steps. After a long time, I remember that it was roughly like this. It is recommended to leave about 50g in the system area, the larger point is better, and the other allocation is 50-100, according to the 455g plate you send, it can be divided into 4 areas, the system is 100g, and the other 100-200 is customized.

Other questions can also be compared in the two forums, the idea forum.

1. Hidden partition, as the name suggests, the partition is hidden, located behind the last partition, and does not occupy the space of the C disk, to see if the hidden partition is still there, just look at your hard disk, 250G total capacity should show 232G, 80G should show 74G, and so on, if the error is about 5G, then there is a hidden partition.

2. There are three main things that occupy the used space of the C disk and will not be displayed: one is the space reserved for hibernation, which is as large as your memory This should occupy at least 2 G; The second is system restore, which probably accounts for less than 1 g; Finally, there are the page files, which vary in size and may hover between less than 1g-2g;

3、Thinkpad pre-installed rescue&recover Strictly speaking,It can only be called intelligent backup,If you have made a backup, you can restore it from **,If you haven't done a backup and choose to restore to the factory state,All data is emptied,The hard disk becomes a partition,Remember to remember!

Dear Lenovo users, hello! You can refer to the Lenovo Technology Forum, where there is a comprehensive knowledge and analysis discussion.

Hope it helps you and have a great day!

Click the right mouse button on my computer to manage disk management You see that there is no disk without a name or a disk that you don't know, if there is, it is almost a hidden partition, the size is about 7g.

If you let the merchant get the ThinkpadXP special recovery disk, then your hidden partition is the XP system, and when it is recovered, it will be restored to XP.

If you are using a pirated version or a recovery disk that is not dedicated to ThinkPad, the one-click recovery is useless, and the boot file on the C drive is deleted when you reinstall the system, and it will not be restored to the factory state.

ThinkPad's machine. Changing from Vista to XP... The hidden partition must have been deleted!!

Your C drive is estimated to have hidden files!

Open My Computer - Tools - Folder Options - View - Select Show All Files and Folders...

I guess it's poisoned!!

Probably not. The partition should not be in the C drive.

The hidden partition of the Lenovo notebook is to be uninstalled by a special tool within the customer service,If you really want to delete it,It is recommended that you go to the customer service to delete,You can delete it for free,Like the situation that the computer is locked after deleting the hidden partition,There will be no at all。

No matter what kind of computer you are using, as long as it is a Windows operating system, it can solve the problem of hiding or showing partitions.

Get up and running. Open Group Policyr.

And go to User Configuration -- Administrative Templates -- Windows Components -- Windows Explorer -- find it"Hidden"My computer"These drives are specified in"Double-click and modify to enabled and select the partition you need to hide OK and exit on it.

This way it can be hidden.

Hehe, as for the corresponding problem of the plate, you try.

That's it, I found it again.

Only to find out that it turned out:

The hard disk manufacturer's factory calculation is 1g=1000m, while the computer's calculation method is 1g=1024m, so this calculation difference causes the actual size of the 80g hard disk to be.

It's still far from your 71.

You start by re-estimating.

Of course, the capacity of the hard disk is divided into the physical disk capacity calculated purely by the number of heads, the number of cylinders and other physical parameters, and the actual available space after partitioning, formatting and other operations. In addition, selecting different working modes (normal, LBA, large) in the CMOS may also cause capacity inconsistencies. So this is just a matter of calculation method, not profiteers.

In the meantime, you can use everest

homeedition

Test it out. You can see the logic.

There is a difference in the physical space.

I have a Lenovo computer and want to re-back up its operating system, but the original backup can't be overwritten (always backing up to a certain time and it will get an error), I want to remove this hidden partition and then rebuild it, but I don't know how to remove it? And ghost can't be used under DOS.。。。 The hard drive cannot be found with general software and cannot be deleted to free up.

Why remove it, the hidden partition is used to place image files, and when the time comes, you won't be able to repair the system with one click! If you really don't need it, use the partitioning tool to repartition it!

Please choose my answer, thanks.

Reinstall the R&R to restore the one-click restore function (for the E series of machines, it is the F11 function);

If your hidden partition is broken, either install a Win7 OEM system, or go to Thinkpad's Win7 recovery image and use it.

It is definitely okay to go to the after-sales service, and a certain fee may be charged.

Make a USB flash drive PE system and delete it by entering the PE system.

After booting with a USB stick, repartition it.

After the hidden partition is deleted, it will not be able to enable the prediction one-click restore

Deletion method (1):

Prepare the software: DiskGenius Professional Edition (please select the trial version of the tool, and you can choose the genuine version if you have the conditions).

Right-click menu and select "Delete Partition".

Deletion method (2):

Computer store" "Chinese cabbage" and other PE, U disk boot into the boot disk can be selected "diskgenius" to delete, the deletion method is the same as method 1.

The difference between the two deletion methods:

The second is safer and operates under PE to minimize the risk.

If you delete a hidden partition, the one-click restore backup will not work, so please be cautious.

Supplement: In order to facilitate the reinstallation of the system by beginner users, Lenovo provides a one-click recovery function, which is very convenient to restore the system, in fact, it is to back up these things in a hidden partition. As the hard drive space decreases, we may think of freeing up this hidden partition to be arranged by ourselves.

Then restart Windows, at this time you still can't see the free space, because they are free space, at this time install the management software of the hard disk partition, such as PQ partition magic master, then you can use PQ to see the released space, there are more than 3G! Then use PQ's function to reallocate free space to display this part of the space and arrange it yourself!

1.Put the random system recovery floppy disk into the floppy drive, restart the computer, and set the system to boot from the floppy disk in the BIOS.

2.After the system boots, the prompts of "Backup and Restore", "System Backup", "Release Hidden Partition", "Explanation" and "Exit System" appear, use the arrow keys of the keyboard to move the cursor to "Release Hidden Partition", press the "Enter" key to confirm.

3.The question "Do you really want to free the hidden partition?" will appear. Press the "Enter" key again to confirm.

4.In the pop-up window, there is a text description such as "As long as the backup file is not damaged, you can still restore your system in the future", and after pressing the "Enter" key to restart the computer, the E area will be restored.

5.You can see this file in Explorer, delete it, and you can get back space.

Deleting a hidden partition is very simple, open the registry, just enter regedit in the run and then press F3 on the keyboard to enter the search function, find nodrivers and delete this key value.
