    Hi,

    I need to restore the factory content for my Lenovo notebook. I created another partition on my hard disk for backup purpose. My question is, if I restore the factory defaults, will this partition be erased? Or the ThinkVantage software will only modify the main partition (C: drive)?

    Thanks!!

    Not sure, but anyway it should ask if it is going to erase.

    as ZaZ said it will be erased
    all your data is lost once you do recovery
    your latop will be back to original factory state with all the crap ware
    and no pre-user data
    cheers
