I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows. Windows won't boot (this happens often) and I want to recover it using the Lenovo OneKey Recovery. I have historically just used it, but now I have Ubuntu on it and I really don't want to go through installing all of the things I use on it again.

Will OneKey recovery reset the entire disk, or just the Windows partition?

  • the real question is why you need to constantly recover windows.

  • That's a question. I sent it in plenty of times when it was under warranty and they said they fixed it permanently. Unfortunately it's no longer under warranty. Any idea?

  • Well, that would be a different question and you have offered zero information. By all means ask another question and provide as much information as possible and maybe someone can answer.

Reset to default

In the event you need to use the OneKey recovery system, the personal data stored on the D drive will not be erased as the files on the C drive are restored.

According to this forum post Lenovo OneKey Recovery will only restore the C: partition, so your Ubuntu installation should not be compromised.

  • To my horror, this is not the case.

  • I take it from your reply here that you did not have a backup. Oh well.
