Handing your computer over to someone else without deleting the installed software, such as operating systems and application software, might even violate license agreements. Be sure to delete data stored on the storage drive before you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can use the following methods to delete data from the storage drive: • Move the data to the Recycle Bin, and then empty the Recycle Bin. • Delete the data. • Format the storage drive, using the software for initializing it. • Use the recovery program provided by Lenovo to bring the storage drive back to the factory default settings. These operations, however, only change the file location of the data; they do not delete the data itself. In other words, the data retrieval processing is disabled under an operating system such as Windows. The data is still there, even though it seems to be lost. Thus, it is sometimes possible to read the data by use of special software for data recovery. There is a risk that people of bad faith might read and misuse the critical data on the storage drive for unexpected purposes. To prevent leakage of data, it is important that you delete all the data from the hard disk drive or hybrid drive when you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can destroy the data physically by smashing the hard disk drive or hybrid drive with a hammer, or magnetically by means of strong magnetic power, thus making the data unreadable. But it is recommended that you use the software (payware) or service (pay service) developed for that purpose. The process might take several hours. Chapter 4. Security 59

Notice on deleting data from your storage drive
Some of the data stored on storage drive might be sensitive. Handing your computer over to someone else
without deleting the installed software, such as operating systems and application software, might even
violate license agreements. Be sure to delete data stored on the storage drive before you dispose of, sell,
or hand over your computer.
You can use the following methods to delete data from the storage drive:
• Move the data to the Recycle Bin, and then empty the Recycle Bin.
• Delete the data.
• Format the storage drive, using the software for initializing it.
• Use the recovery program provided by Lenovo to bring the storage drive back to the factory default
settings.
These operations, however, only change the file location of the data; they do not delete the data itself. In
other words, the data retrieval processing is disabled under an operating system such as Windows. The
data is still there, even though it seems to be lost. Thus, it is sometimes possible to read the data by use of
special software for data recovery. There is a risk that people of bad faith might read and misuse the critical
data on the storage drive for unexpected purposes.
To prevent leakage of data, it is important that you delete all the data from the hard disk drive or hybrid drive
when you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can destroy the data physically by smashing the
hard disk drive or hybrid drive with a hammer, or magnetically by means of strong magnetic power, thus
making the data unreadable. But it is recommended that you use the software (payware) or service (pay
service) developed for that purpose. The process might take several hours.
