使并且去除ThinkPad暗藏的服务分开失去能力

IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad通常来占去大约5 GB硬盘空间的被保护的暗藏的服务分开。 不如此您需要是惊奇,当您检查您可利用的硬盘空间并且发现了时硬盘的大小比做广告的大小是较少。

ThinkPad服务分开是非DOS分开暗藏的被保护区(HPA)。 这分开用于存放原始系统文件必要恢复系统对它在箱子(工厂)情况外面。 要知道您的ThinkPad系统是否有服务分开,有二种方式检查:

  • 如果您的机器显示消息“新闻F11调用产品补救节目”或“起动产品补救节目,在系统起动期间,按F11 ″,则您的系统有服务分开。
  • 如果位于用户指南的指示关于恢复被事先装配的软件状态恢复您的系统通过选择F11在起动,您的系统然后来了预先构造与服务分开。

麻烦与服务分开是它去掉相当珍贵的膝上计算机或笔记本硬盘空间。 通常,除非系统事故发生, ThinkPad用户频繁地不会是恢复您的系统。 如此,服务分开是在硬盘居住的一个最少使用的组分,并且它可以因而被存放在其他媒介,例如CD或DVD。 在旁边,硬盘在膝上计算机有崩溃的最高的可能性或打破。 当被损坏的硬盘,您可以是肯定的服务分开不会能也是使用。 如此存放数据在服务分开作为产品补救CD太是逻辑的。

以后 创造ThinkPad补救CD或者,如果您简单地就是不喜欢服务分开空间是被浪费的懒惰,下一个步骤明显地将索还和恢复由服务分开早先占领的空间。

重要: 一旦您去除服务分开,您不会能恢复您的ThinkPad笔记本系统对原始的状态在它离开工厂,除非您 准备了或有补救CD.

去除ThinkPad服务分开的第一步是对unhide和unprotect服务分开在BIOS。 ThinkPad BIOS将重写HDD控制器,以便盘假设分配的空间为分开服务不存在为了保障分开从偶然删除。 按F1或在起动序列初访问IBM,当ThinkPad起动。 In the BIOS setup menu, go to Security, and then set the IBM PreDesktop Area to Disabled.

Now you can use any partition manager such as fdisk, diskpart, BootIt NG or Partition Magic to manipulate the partition, either delete the partition and create a new partition on reclaimed space, or merge the service partition to existing partition. If you having trouble trying to delete the service partition, try to boot to DOS, or use a bootable partition manager.

Alternatively, if you have a non-IBM/Lenovo laptop or older IBM/Lenovo laptop that doesn’t HPA-aware, you can download Feature Tool from Hitachi Global Storage Technologies. The IBM’s (Hitachi’s) Drive Feature Tool can also remove the Hidden Protected Area service partition by changing the capacity of the hard disk.

    I attempted to remove this hidden partition and performed a clean installation of XP Pro before I read your article here.. This seems to have worked OK as I have regained the 5 Gbtes of the hidden partition. However , on bootup , I still get the DOS-type Thinkpad screen which says “To interupt normal Bootup press the blue Thinkpad button” The laptop then boots normally into XP.
    Is it possible to remove this screen at bootup ?
    It would seem that I haven’t removed all the IBM installed software or this screen would not appear at bootup !

    Hi,

    I have a ThinkPad R61, that came with Windows Vista pre-installed and the recorey CDs from Windows XP. Since it was running slowly with Vista, I used the recovery CDs to install Windows XP. Does the recovery CDs erases or overwrites the hidden partion that came from factory? I didn’t make the recovery CDs from Vista.

    Thanks,

    Felipe.

  6. Ubuntu su Lenovo (IBM) Thinkpad x60 « Il Pinguino Furioso

    [...] Maggio 29, 2008 di ilpinguinofurioso Un brevissimo post che spero a possa risultare utile a tutti coloro in procinto di installare una distribuzione Linux Ubuntu su in Lenovo (IBM) Thinkpad x60. Ho appena installato da zero Ubuntu 8.04 e tutto sembra funzionare a meraviglia. Le periferiche hardware sono riconosciute immediatamente compresa scheda wireless e dual core. Per l’installazioni di versioni precedenti di Ubuntu consiglio di dare un’occhiata qui. Personalmente non ho testato né il bluetooth, né il sistema di riconoscimento delle impronte digitali semplicemente perché non utilizzo queste caretteristiche ma dal link già citato non sembrano esserci problemi di sorta. Se avete acquistato il portatile con Windows preinstallato (purtroppo per voi) vi consiglio come prima cosa di creare i ThinkPad recovery CDs (anche per questioni di supporto e garanzia). Se poi volete eliminare la partizione nascosta (che si trova nella maggior parte dei thinkpad) e guadagnare qualche Gb di spazio su hard disk, vi consiglio di dare un’occhiata a questo link. [...]
