u can choose to format either with CD or the hidden partition. u need to burn by your own if u want to keep a recovery cd

reformat by using either cd or even the onekey recovery software will make it go back to factory settings will all those lenovo junks or can fully clean reformat??

i wasted 2 pieces of dvd creating the recovery files when the program suddenly failed almost at the end of finalizing disc 2 of 3 =.=" i dun think i will keep the junks, will do a clean format and repartition everything. these things will just get outdated in time and i dun think u guys use outdated stuffs either...

btw, i got mine for 3550 with installment (with the default phone free gift only)...

carrying bag?? dont get?

My apologies for taking so long to reply,

As far as I have tested out you can reinstall windows without messing around with C Drive's size and OKR will still works. To make OKR work again if you've resize C Drive (assuming you've left the hidden partition as well as the D drive intact) then remove all the partitions you make on C and OKR should work again.

If all else fail, then you'll probably need to use another method of creating your system image for backup purposes.

If I'm not mistaken both mutesync.exe and audiodg.exe are used by the touch control buttons for the audio control on the laptop. Remove or disable them and the buttons will fail to function. Note that mutesync is only provided on the drivers in the D drive and cannot be downloaded from Lenovo's support page.

can we clean install windows without a reformat??
and i dont have both mutesync.exe and audiodg.exe but the touch control button still works....i thought the touch control is operated by onetouch support.exe??

Yes, you can. Insert your own win CD/DVD and select custom installation and select the C drive as the installation partition instead of selecting the upgrade option. If you do it this way your previous installation files is assessable via a folder called Windows.old (you can access the files only but you cannot boot into your previous OS).

Note: You can also choose to format C and install your new OS there. Either way OKR should still remain functional. Please be aware that if you restore your system using OKR it's still going to return to factory default.

Funny, I don't have onetouch support.exe but I do have OnekeySupport.exe. I also have mutesynce.exe but not audiodg.exe. (Note my version of OS is a self installed version and not the one from Levono's factory default).
*
isnt a reformat of C drive will also reformat and deleted the hidden partiton for the OKR??
and i just found that the touch sensitive control key is operated by the lenovo power management...for those whose the touch control doesnt working...try reinstalling the lenovo power management and remember to checked the 'utility' when reinstalling...

It does. Just make sure don't get those cheap dual layer DVDRs since laptop ODD is sensitive.
