    Just got my Y550 & loves the look of it. Few questions though & I have done an extensive search on this forums + google but no results.

    1. How to create a recovery disk? I read on this forum about seraching for "recovery media" application & using that but my system doesn't have that app. All I have is oneKey Recovery and it wants me to have a .wsi file but I couldn't find that file. Please help me so I can create a recovery media & start messing with the laptop.

    2. I have read that the system comes with 2 partition C & D. C being the smaller one with OS & D being the bigger one for storing data. Mine seem to be otherway around. C is the bigger one but still have OS & D is smaller like 30gb. I think I will definitely have to do a partition of my C to make it workable.
    I am thinking of going for a clean install, deleting the hidden recovery file (this will make onKey not work but I am ok with that) & then creating partitions. Any help suggestions in this regard will be helpful.
