While the message, ″To interrupt normal startup, press the blue Access IBM button″ is displayed at the lower left of the screen, press the Access IBM button. The Rescue and Recovery workspace opens. 4. Click Restore your system. 5. Click Restore my hard drive to the original factory state and then click Next. 6. Follow the instructions on the screen. 7. When the recovery process finishes, press Enter key. Your computer will restart with the pre-installed operating system, drivers, and software. Upgrading the hard disk drive You can increase the storage capacity of your computer by replacing the hard disk drive with one of greater capacity. You can purchase a new hard disk drive from your reseller or Lenovo marketing representative. Notes: 1. Replace the hard disk drive only if you upgrade it or have it repaired. The connectors and bay of the hard disk drive were not designed for frequent changes, or drive swapping. 2. The Rescue and Recovery workspace and the Product Recovery program are not included in the optional hard disk drive. Attention Handling a hard disk drive v Do not drop the drive or subject it to physical shocks. Put the drive on a material, such as soft cloth, that absorbs the physical shock. v Do not apply pressure to the cover of the drive. v Do not touch the connector. The drive is very sensitive.
