Lenovo encourages you to make efficient use of energy an integral part of

your day-to-day operations. To help in this endeavor, Lenovo has preset

the following power-management features to take effect when your

computer has been inactive for a specified duration:

To awaken your computer from a Sleep or System Standby mode, press any

Explanation of Hard Disk Capacity

Dear user,

While using your computer, you may discover 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

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 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 evident, 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.
