使并且去除ThinkPad暗藏的服務分開失去能力

IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad通常來佔去大約5 GB硬盤空間的被保護的暗藏的服務分開。 不如此您需要是驚奇,當您檢查您可利用的硬盤空間并且發現了時硬盤的大小比做廣告的大小是較少。

ThinkPad服務分開是非DOS分開暗藏的被保護區(HPA)。 這分開用於存放原始系統文件必要恢復系統對它在箱子(工廠)情況外面。 要知道您的ThinkPad系統是否有服務分開,有二種方式檢查:

  • 如果您的機器顯示消息「新聞F11調用產品補救節目」或「起動產品補救節目,在系統起動期間,按F11 ″,則您的系統有服務分開。
  • 如果位於用戶指南的指示關於恢復被事先裝配的軟件狀態恢復您的系統通過選擇F11在起動,您的系統然後來了預先構造與服務分開。

麻煩與服務分開是它去掉相當珍貴的膝上計算機或筆記本硬盤空間。 通常,除非系統事故發生, ThinkPad用戶頻繁地不會是恢復您的系統。 如此,服務分開是在硬盤居住的一个最少使用的組分,并且它可以因而被存放在其他媒介,例如CD或DVD。 在旁邊,硬盤在膝上計算機有崩潰的最高的可能性或打破。 當硬盤損壞了,您可以是肯定的服務分開不會能也是使用。 如此存放數據在服務分開作為產品補救CD太是邏輯的。

以後 創造ThinkPad補救CD或者,如果您簡單地就是不喜歡服務分開空間是被浪費的懶惰,下一個步驟明顯地將索還和恢復由服務分開早先佔領的空間。

重要: 一旦您去除服務分開,您不會能恢復您的ThinkPad筆記本系統對原始的狀態在它離開工廠,除非您 準備了或有補救CD.

去除ThinkPad服務分開的第一步是對unhide和unprotect服務分開在BIOS。 ThinkPad BIOS將重寫HDD控制器,以便盤假設分配的空間為分開服務不存在為了保障分開從偶然刪除。 按F1或在起動序列初訪問IBM,當ThinkPad起動。 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. [...]
