Software for Power Switch Control and One Key Recovery for Windows 8?

Hi. I have recently upgraded to windows 8 with a clean install. I was wondering if there is software to get the power switch control software back so I can set it to auto, turbo or cool because without it I think using the switch is useless. I also would like to know if there is a way to get one key recovery back.

I can't use the One Key Recovery of my Y2P anymore, as I decreased the size of the C partition in favour of increasing D:\Data
OKR won't even start anymore...
Any chance to get OKR working again if I make these partitions the same sizes?
Who has the exact partition sizes in MB of the Y2P 20266 with Samsung PM851 256 GB SSD?
0 1 MB NO_NAME unallocated
1 1000 MB WINRE_DRV NTFS
2 260 MB SYSTEM_DRV FAT32 (EFI)
3 1000 MB LRS_ESP FAT32
4 128 MB NO_NAME Other
5 ? GB C:\Windows8 NTFS
6 ? GB D:\Data NTFS
7 14135 MB PBR_DRV NTFS Recovery
8 327 kB NO_NAME Unallocated
Data is backupped daily and I already have a full system backup together with a bootable USB stick that has been tested.
But I like to make sure I can reinstall Windows in the future..

One Key Recovery for S10-3t

I got my new s10-3t and feel that there are certain problems with Windows 7 and/or driver installation. Secondary portrait screen orientation does not work, and, even more strange, I cannot remove the Lenovo Screen Rotation program from the computer (using Control Panel) - after uninstallation it is reported to still remain there. There are other minor problems. According to Yigit's advice, I am going to perform a one key recovery (OKR) of the system in order to get clean windows and drivers.
There are several questions. Knowing the answers could help me a lot during the OKR process, since by no means I might be considered as an experienced user.
1. How to start the OSR process:
a) Use the OneKey Recovery program whose shortcut I have preinstalled on my desktop, and choose System Recovery
b) Switch off the computer and then switch it on with a small button in the upper-left corner of the keyboard
Maybe a) and b) are identical?
2. Are there any important choices (questions) that I have to make (answer) during the OKR process? I mean really important choices, not like language, time or user name choice, etc.
3. Would it be possible during to OKR process to change the size of the partitions in my hard disk? Presently I have Local disk C: - 187GB and Lenovo D: - 30GB. I would personally prefer to have C around 100GB and the rest to be D:. Disk C: should contain windows, drivers and programs, and D: my personal files, like photos, musics, movies.
4) After OKR is over, I will get the computer:
a) with Windows 7 only, no drivers at all and no Lenovo preinstalled programs
b) with Windows 7 and drivers, at least basic ones in order to get connected to Wi-Fi internet, to have sound and normal graphics
c) as it was shipped to me, with Windows, drivers and all the Lenovo preinstalled programs like VeriTouch, VeriFace, SmileDock and others, that I have already removed as useless for me.
d) Should I perform any backup prior to OKR? I have no personal files on this computer, i.e, absolutely nothing to loose. Presently I backed up (onto my flash drive) only the drivers from the Lenovo D: disk.
e) Does the system sit in \\?\Volume{64...} where it is going to get recovered from? I do not see this partition in Windows Explorer, but I do see it in Defragmenter.
Sorry that the question is quite long.
Thank you.
Solved!

lots of questions
- how to start the okr process:
options are the same, if you select it under windows, windows will restart.
- are there any important choices (questions) that I have to make (answer) during the okr process? i mean really important choices, not like language, time or user name choice, etc.
nope.if application asks click "next"
- would it be possible during to okr process to change the size of the partitions in my hard disk? presently I have local disk c: 187gb and lenovo d: 30gb. i would personally prefer to have c around 100gb and the rest to be d:. disk c: should contain windows, drivers and programs, and d: my personal files, like photos, musics, movies.
if you make changes on volumes, one key recover will stop working.
- after okr is over, i will get the computer:
c.
as it was shipped to me, with windows, drivers and all the lenovo preinstalled programs like veritouch, veriface, smiledock and others, that I have already removed as useless for me.
- should i perform any backup prior to okr? i have no personal files on this computer, i.e, absolutely nothing to loose. presently i backed up (onto my flash drive) only the drivers from the lenovo d: disk.
if you have external dvd rom, i suggest you to burn factory default backup, just in case.
- does the system sit in \\?\volume{64...} where it is going to get recovered from? i do not see this partition in windows explorer, but i do see it in defragmenter.
there's a hidden partition for system & recovery files.it's better not to see cause if you see hidden partition under windows, one key recover stops.

Hardisk partition and one key recovery problem

Hi All,
I am new to to the lenovo community. I recently bought a lenovo G series machine( G550 model #298595Q preloaded with Windows vista and 320 GB HDD) . surprisingly The C: drive contained 254 GB of the total available 284 GB and D: drive had the remaining space. I wanted to inistall linux, I had to partition the C:drive and no where in the lenovo mannual it is warned against the resizing C
I used a partition software called "paragon" to resize my C: drive. My system hanged while running the process and after a long wait I had to shutdown my system and after that my OS was not loading.So I decided to recover my vista using one key recovery. I tried the back up I stored in D: drive and in DVD and it is giving an error message that "not enough space in the system" and in the one key recovery menu the target location of the one key recovery is showing to D: drive but my preloaded vista was installed in C: drive and also it is showing the total free space as 298 GB)
Could any one help me to get my vista back.( why the target location of one key recovery is showing to D
or is there any way to increase the D: partition from boot setup). Please help me.
and also my warranty is valid , since I touched my C: drive( no where it is warned against that)?

I have posted this somewhere else, but it involves Win7, see if this helps:
What I can tell you is that I spent a lot of time as well trying to mend the soft/partitioning and to get rid of bloatware!
In short: I did a clean reinstall + recovered my OEM activation + partitioned the HDD as I wanted. Now it looks and reacts familiar (I used XP as well, before).
BEWARE: trying partitions managers as Easeus or Paragon has blocked my partitions - they seem to be "coded" somehow.
Do not hesitate: after you backup activation erase totally HDD (I used killdisc) and all shall be gone and you start fresh.
Get a Win 7 serching for "digitalriver" Get ABW for activation restoring Get drivers from Lenovo support, install only what you need by function not all of them!

Help adding SSD to Flex 15 using HDD caddy and One Key Recovery

Hello,
Can anyone give me a little guidance on how I can add an SSD to my Lenovo Flex 15 by replacing my optical drive with a HDD caddy? I want to use the SSD as the boot device and use the exhisting 1 TB HDD(It's not a hybrid drive) as a storage drive.I was hoping to be able to use the One Key Recovery tool as that is the only way I have of installing Windows 8.1 since the laptop did not come with a recovery CD. Anyone know of any step-by-step guides or anything that could help me get this done?
Thanx for any help you can give

i have a flex 15 but mine as the drive with ssd all you have to do is replace the drive you have with a drive that has ssd one,

G570 Can't download One Key Recovery to Windows 7 64 bit

My system is Windows 7
The one-key recovery option was accidentally removed from my 64 Bit Lenovo G570.
Since then I have tried to download a recovery driver from the Lenovo support page.
Two options are available: one for a 32 Bit sytem and one for a 64 Bit system.
I have made absolutely sure that I have chosen the 64Bit version.
The programme downloads but half way through the installation process the green progress line stops and the message flashes up: "You must install this programme on a 32 bit version of Windows".
This happens time after time and the situation is really quite bizarre. There is no doubt that my system is 64 Bit and there is no doubt I am choosing the 64 Bit option.
Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance,
Bill

[S210 Touch] One key recovery not working

I have a 1.25 year old S210 Ideapad Touch. I made a 100GB partition with EaseUS and had no problem with onekey recovery. I tried to merge that empty partition with my C drive using EaseUS software but it did not work saying there were errors. After that attempt One Key did not work. Tried to open One Key with compter turned off, error message said damaged partition. Next I used Control panel Administrative Tools: Disk Management to return C drive to almost its original size less 350 mb. one key still did not work. I reinstalled one key from Lenovo website and still did not work. Still indicated damage partition. What can I do now?

HT201251 I want to use 30 ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices

I want to use 30 ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices?

Alternatively you can always manage your iPads (does not matter how many) with a single apple id and all reporting to your account under "find my device" service. Keeping an eye on all your units. Additionally as you mentioned these are for your Restaurant you may find the solutions offered by this company who creates apps and hardware for this purpose: http://www.spartakioskpro.com
Additionally if you expand beyond those 30 iPads to say 300 you will want to enable or plan on MDM as your best option to automate every ipad to use the same profile and app and ios configuration while also keeping a close eye on all of them via online MDM services like: https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager

Problem with Energy Management and One key Theater

I have a Lenovo G560 laptop. Actually, I have first installed Windows 7 x64 on my lappy but it caused many problems so I again reinstall windows 7 32 bit. But now Energy Management and One key theater are not working at all.
Is there any fix for it???

As I understand you are unable to use OneKey Theater and Lenovo energy management.
The installation of both OneKey Theater and Power Management are necessary for using OneKey Theater. Through "Start" à "All Programs" à "Lenovo", or "Start" à "Control Panel" à "Programs" à "Programs and Features", you can find out whether OneKey Theater has been installed.
If it has been installed, you need to make sure the following two items has been started in “Start à Run à msconfig à Startup”
After that, if OneKey Theater is still unable to be started, you can run it manually by double clicking "Onekey Studio" through "Local Disk(C" à "Program Files" à "Lenovo" à "OneKey Theater".
If OneKey Theater has been started, you can see "Onekey Studio.exe" under the "Processes" tab of "Windows Task Manager".
OneKey Theater can be download from the mentioned below web link.

Lenovo energy management software can be download from the mentioned below web link.

EEWB: Insert New Table with more than one key field for BP object

Hi Gurus,
I want to enhance Business Partner object with a new table with two key fields, one the address number and another a sequence number, because I need to save several entries for each address belonging to a determined business partner. Something as what happens in communication data (i.e fax number)for an address.
I have run the wizard from EEWB but the only possibility that offers you is to create only one key field for the new custom table. There is something in EEWB to achieve this, two key fields for the new table?
Another question is the following: which Badi or BAPI must I enhance to populate my table with the corresponding address number to which the data belong to?
I mean my custom data are filled through a table control that I have allocated within the screen sequence BUA130 (Detail Address). Thus, when a new address is added to a BP and my particular table control is populated within this address I should fill the key fields from my table (address number and sequence number) when the BP were saved. So, I must know beforehand which address number the system will assign to this new address.
I repeat the question: which Badi or BAPI must I enhance to populate my table with the corresponding address number to which the data belong to?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Rosa Ferrando

One key recovery continuosly asks for permissions

I've got U310 laptop with Windows 8 and One Key 8.0.0.1219 installed.
While I work on laptop (say, type text or watch film) One key continiously asks for permissions to make changes on the laptop.
I just don't understand why it needs something to do so frequent.
Maybe I am hitting a button which starts one key?
How can I manage it?
I don't want to turn the notifications fully or deinstall One Key.

hi ybeltrikov
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
If you have an icon for the One Key or if you know where it is stored
Right click on its icon and choose properties.
On top, click on "Compatibility" tab
Below you will see now "Privilege Level"
Check the box that says Run the program as an Administrator.
Try running the Software or see if the pop up will appear again
Hope this helps,
Cheers!

S205 - Steps to create a bootable USB drive using One Key Recovery (OKR) for backup image.

Hi Guys,
I just got my new S205. I am wondering how to backup the Windows OS including all factory settings to a bootable USB drive using One Key Recovery (OKR) 7.0. Basically I am afriad one day, my harddrive is failed or if I want to replace harddrive, I can reimage the harddrive back to factory setting and its OS (win 7). Would you share with me on the steps to do so?
I opened the OKR software and click on "Create Recovery Disk" -> "Factory Default Setting Disk" and Next, I couldn't see my USB drive? any one knows why?
thanks in advance.
New S205 owner.

I was able to do this, but it required reconfiguration of the HDD in my S205 (320 GB hard drive).
I used the built-in Windows Disk Management tool to shrink the size of my C: drive to 56,320 MB. [To accomplish this, I had to disable hibernation, and disable the swap file on the C: drive; and then re-enabled both after the process was complete.] 56,320 MB is more than enough space for the OS and all of the programs that I have installed (including the Professional version of Microsoft Office).
I then increased the size of the D: drive to 233,614 MB.
You can use different drive sizes, of course, but the D: drive must be of adequate size for the backup image.
Once the HDD is reconfigured, you can use One Key Recovery to backup your C: drive to your D: drive. From there, it can be copied to a USB (or copied across the network, etc. ... I've done both). Yes, it is 2 steps, but it's really easy.

Is it possible to have 2 mail programmes on my macbook pro? one for business related emails and one personal. I dont want all the emails in one mail programme!

Is it possible to have 2 mail programmes on my macbook pro? one for business related emails and one personal. I dont want all the emails in one mail programme. At the moment i have 2 personal email address being sent to my mail but because of receiving huge numbers of work emails it would be good to keep them seperate, what is the best way of doing this?

if i use the one mail programme can it separate the incoming mail from the different email accounts into 2 folders without me having to do it manually?
Yes, you can. Nearly all email software can do this. It involves creating two folders and a Rule for each folder.
Maybe call one folder Personal Mail, the other Work Mail (Apple Mail calls folders Mailboxes). One Rule would route all mail from your personal email account into the Personal Mail folder; the other Rule would route all mail from your work email account into the Work Mail folder. It's actually easy to do, all you have to do is click a few things and the rule is set up. Once the Rule is written you can also apply it to existing messages already downloaded to your Mac.
In Apple Mail, Rules are under Preferences > Rules. Follow the prompts to create a rule like this:
If = Any
Account = my Personal account (select the name of your personal email account)
Perform the following actions: Move Message to Mailbox = my Personal Mail (select the name of your Personal Mail folder (aka mailbox))
This rule says, "take any message that comes in from my Personal Account and move it to my Personal Mail mailbox (folder)"
Create a similar rule for your Work email.

Is anyone else having the finish rub off of the keys on their macbook? I've had mine for about 6 months and several keys look like the finish is wearing through. I went to the local genius bar today and the techs said they'd never seen this before.

Some people have seen their aluminum uni-body discoloring due to body oils. Go figure.
Normally putting anything over the keys/aluminum will hurt heat disspation, but you may need to use keyboard covers.
Or save up $500/year for new keyboards.
Neither is supposed to be a sarcastic answer. Either one could end up being the solution.
Good luck with it.

Has anyone used switch control and siri at the same time?

Has anyone used accessibility switch control and siri at the same time?

Using Xmarks and Sync simultaneously will create a mess.
You can create a new profile, import the bookmarks from your main profile, and set up Sync for the new profile.
The flip side is, bookmarks from your main profile would not get synced with your new profile.
Alternatively, Xmarks is also available for Android.
