Hai, I have lenovo y 410 775789Q model with vista home basic sp1(just 20
days back) and they didn't give me any disc related to vista, they just
give me two cd s lenovo software gift package and lenovo device drivers,
so please tell me how to create recovery disk to repair my computer
because i installed linux (fedora) for dual booting, when i want to
remove the linux it asks for disk to repair the boot sector, and also
please tell me how to reinstall the whole vista ( because they provided
C: partition only 30 Gb so i want to extend it,) . they provided one key
touch recovery software which is only use ful to get into factory
settings i.e C: 30 Gb, so please clarify me how to get the recovery disk
and how to reinstall the vista, once again.
I already tried for extend volume option by deleting the volume
of Dby making it free space) drive, but it doesn't highlighted, so
please help me.

Hi, raja, and welcome to the Vista forums, arty:

Unfortunately the Lenovo setup with their recovery partition is a
little complicated

you have the recovery system built into the hard drive but this will
only work with a fixed size C: drive of 30GB. You can I believe create
disks from the repair partition and then delete the recovery partition,
using a 3rd party Disk manager, but this will not work with any other
size of C: drive than the default 30GB.

The options you have are therefore limited to a 30GB c: and a
possibility of recovery in the case of a serious system failure, or
change the size of c: and lose all possibility of a recovery.:cry:

I know of one case with a member here where this is the focus of an
official complaint with Lenovo that is in currently in progress.

if you need to sort your Linux problem you may try the disk here ...

'Create a Recovery Disc - Vista Forums'
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/14...very-disc.html)

I am in the process of writing a tutorial for a method of circumventing
this bad implementation by Lenovo, by running certain parts of vista
from the D: drive.

If you wish I can PM you a link to my source material, if you think
this would help. the process is quite advanced but from the details in
your post would think it's within your capabilities

Hi,

Unfortunately, you are limited by what your manufacturer provided. You may
need a generic oem/retail disk to get what you're asking for. Even if Lenovo
provided for the creation of recovery media disks, they would likely be
proprietary and not able to do the repair job you are seeking.

Did you read where he deleted the recovery partition D:

He has pretty much borked up his computer by forging ahead and doing
everything he has done - including installing linux (without knowing the
implications what doing so would do to his computers drive structure).
