How to restore to factory settings in Lenovo S10
Just bought Lenovo S10 and so unlucky that window crashed. So have to restore my Lenovo S10 to factory settings. Can’t really find how ot restore to factory settings in Lenovo S10 from the User Manual. So check from google, after many many search, finally found the solution.
For Lenovo S10 to restore to factory settings follow the steps below:-
- Turn off your Lenovo. (i mean shut down and make sure it’s power off)
- Now press on the “One Key Recovery” key at the top of your Keyboard, your Lenovo S10 should boot up. Else hold down the “One Key Recovery” key until it boot up.
- Now you may choose “Restore to factory settings” from the screen and proceed for the restoration.
** the restoration will first check if your windows files has been corrupted, if yes, then it will restore it to the original state and no restore is required. else it will continue with the restoration.
Hope this helps Lenovo S10 users.

what if i formatted the HDD to install Windows 7 on drive C:? Will ‘one key recovery’ still work? Just email me please for your answer. Thanks!

Sorry but it won’t. you’ll mess up one key recovery.

allain: u may format the HDD to install windows 7 but the ‘one key recovery’ will only restore your machine back to default window xp. and remember, do not format the hidden partition else your ‘one key recovery’ will not work!

What if I have, out of stupidity, accidently format the hidden partition? Is there someway to download an image of that hidden partition, recreate the hidden partition, and run the one key recovery? Thx…

i had this ideapad s10 long time but never bother to create the backup cd for recovery.
Now I have tried to create back up using OKR but always stop at 38% with the file name winpe.wim location in c:\program files\lenovo\okr\….\winpe.wim.
How to fix this ? coz i can’t make any backup at all
Thanks in advance

rifky, i’m so sorry to say that if you formatted the hidden partition, there is no way you can get back the manufacturer settings. Another way you can try is to find a friend that has Lenovo S10 which has not formatted their hidden partition, then you make a recovery CD from it. I havent test this method yet, so it MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT WORK. depends on your luck!
