Solution
The files and relevant data used by the rescue system are saved in the service partition. Deleting this partition will make the rescue system unusable. For more detailed information, see the following instructions:
From the Search charm, select Apps --> Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management --> Disk Management, you can see the service partition, which must not be deleted.
Note:
The recovery files and relevant data used by the rescue system are saved in the service partition. If the service partition is deleted or damaged by someone other than authorized Lenovo service personnel, Lenovo will not be liable for any losses arising therefrom in any way.
OneKey Recovery 4.0 restoring system
OneKey Recovery 4.0 is an easy-to-use application. You can use it to restore your computer to the system default or to a previously backed up state.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to select the backup task you want to restore from and the disk where you want to install the operating system, then press Next to start the restore.
3. Please wait during the process of system recovery. Do not interrupt the operation during the recovery process.
4. After the system is recovered successfully, the software will prompt you to restart the computer. Restart the computer and start the operating system.
