Respective Users Dear user, Thanks for purchasing Lenovo notebook! Before using this product, please make sure to read this User Guide carefully. We are most honored to have you as our customer. In order to make sure you master the usage of Lenovo notebook soon, we have prepared this User Guide for you. This manual has been made very simple and comprehensive. In this manual, you can get information on the system configuration, installation steps and the basic operating systems. We strongly recommend that in using this product, please be sure to carefully read the manual. It will actually help you make better use of the computer. We have done our best to avoid human errors in making sure that the information provided in the manual is accurate and reliable. However, we cannot completely guarantee that there will not be any mistakes that were not found and checked out before printing. Please bear with us because there might also be some uncontrolled omissions while printing, binding or distributing. Because we are trying to improve the full performance and reliability of our equipment, the hardware and software components might need some little adjustment. In this case, this might lead to an inconsistency in the actual makeup of the equipment to that of the information stated in the manual, but it will 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 40GB hard disk will appear as less than 40GB 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.
