    Hey,

    So I have these three partitions, and I don't know which to remove for a clean install

    SW_Preload (C :) [main drive]
    Lenovo (Q :) [recovery disk drive?]
    SERVICE003 (S :) [recovery too?]

    Can I remove BOTH Lenovo (Q :) and SERVICE003 (S :)? I've already made recovery disks.

    Thanks
    Yari

    I would say yes if you've made the recovery discs. Don't forget to make a copy of the SWTools folder as well.

    just to assist ZaZ.

    In C:\SWTools folder are all your drivers and application shipped with your TP.
    One note:
    If your system runs satisfationally I would recommend not to update anything.

    Best regards
