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.

I need to set my computer to the original factory setting, but when I press on the recovery key it only boots up and does not show the recovery functions. I have not change the partition of the hard drive at all and I do not have an external drive to install the OS. What can I do?
My s10e could not show bios information, when i press power fan runs, but screen is black, after few second fan stop. It looks bios is corrupted. help me how can I restore bios?
Thanks a lot man! The Lenovo manual simply doesn’t say how to use it and it is so simple!
I am trying to restore my sister in laws Lenovo S10. When I follow the instructions given, the screen only asks me two options….either to back up or do create a recovery disk. There is not an options that says “restore to factory settings.” Any help out there?? Thanks, Stephanie
i have a problem with one key recovery
Everytime i turn my pc on
Eventually One Key Recovery will auto boots up and i have to select either one BOOT or SHUT DOWN from One key recovery itself
This is making me crazy
I didnt press anything for it to turn on while i turn my pc on
But if i were to restart my pc , One key recovery wont eventually turns on by itself
Please Help
Thanks
thanks alot guys!!!!
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!
like the other how to make got instaled with manufacture default if all of my disk formatted please i need reply as soon as possible
thanks alot
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.

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…

Thank you..save me alot!
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!
Sorry but it won’t. you’ll mess up one key recovery.
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!
