Firstly, I'm not a lenovo technician or what...
Second, The One-Key recovery partition may have been deleted when you installed Windows 8 Pro.
You may try re-partition the HDD as default then OKR should work.

I think you can't, unless you use 3rd party software or windows to make recovery the OKR is R.I.P after install new windows.

Apparently, this feature for those shipped with windows. :/

You would have to order the recovery disks from Lenovo

(**If I give wrong information, please correct me**)

In order to utilize the features of OneKey Recovery, your hard disk already includes a hidden partition that stores a system mirror image file and the OneKey Recovery program files. This default partition is hidden for security reasons and is the reason your computer's available hard disk space is less than it claims. The exact amount of available hard drive space depends on the file size of the mirror image file (based on the size of the operating system and the pre-installed software.)
You can use the Restore from Initial Backup feature to restore the system partition (C drive) back to the initial state. However, once you restore to this status, you are not able to restore the system to another previously backed up state. Therefore, make sure you back up your critical data on the system partition (C drive) to other media, such as another disk partition or removable storage devices.


what should i do , will try asking seller

hi, can i know got how many version of Y500? if yes then what is the different

Somehow my whole harddisk partition is gone, anyone know who to get back win8 and OKR?

Edit : Manage to get back Windows8 Single License from empty partition by creating recovery drive from my desktop that use Windows 8 Pro. (I try to clean install Win8 Pro from ISO to Lenovo laptop it won't allow, I think the license is locked to bios and license/version does not match) and after recover with Recovery drive I go to my laptop then go to PC setting, reset PC and it ask me to insert recovery disc, so I insert my recovery disc and manage to get back Win8SL.


-----
Now same issue with you..

Not sure we can use the option from "control panel -> recovery -> recover drive" and create a an image with hidden partition for OKR for the harddisk then restore back to laptop or not.

So now the missing stuff is OKR.. If anyone willing to meet up let me copy your lenovo y400/y500 OS image? I will pay you.

Yea, it's quite big (min 20-30GB). That's the reason I plan to find someone who can meet up in some places such as McD and I pay you and I create system image and transfer to my laptop then I do PC reset, then all docs/installed programs will be removed.

For anyone want to try you can use "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows 7 File Recovery" then create a system image.

Sifus, i need your help..

20GB is your OKR partition :3
That's you should avoid~~~

20GB = partition D right?
others? refer my attachment

I already try to recover back the OKR so that it's functioning like the factory setting. Check on the file on hidden partition, I found that for OKR to work, it will need the exact boot sector for Partition Windows7_OS / Windows8_OS and the hidden partition as well. So if u want to delete the partition, Dont delete the LENOVO partition and make sure u make a backup image for Windows7_OS or Windows8_OS partition just in case u want to restore the OKR. OKR doesnot work when u try to resize the partition Windows7_OS or Windows8_OS. Once u resize the partition C (Windows7_OS or Windows8_OS) and reinstall the OKR, OKR doesn't work. So, if u want u restore the OKR, resize to original partition of C then restore from your backup image of factory setting Windows(Make sure u have your backup first image!!!). Hope this you guys out there.

I'm getting tired of restoring the OKR link now. Doesnt work at all. I already try to repartition both C and D, and everything just fail. So, Lenovo user with OKR dont even try to delete your partition D and MAKE BACKUP IMAGE for your C before install 'custom' windows or your own windows (watever u want) or proceeding with resize the partition C. U can hide the partition D after u install ur custom windows using PowerQuest Partition Table Editor (If the partition make u uncomfortable when u open My Computer ) and unhide it back when u want to set the laptop back to factory setting. It doesnt damage the partition at all. I used this software as well to hide my "privacy things" in there

Hope this help
