    Ok..I searched but could not find a definitive answer on how to create the recovery cd's for my system. So a little help please: just received a Y530 Ideapad and need to create the recovery disks. From what I understand, C: the bigger drive is the main storage drive, D: the smaller one has just Vista on it(don’t store anything here..right), and the hidden drive used with the OKR will restore D: (don’t plan on ever doing this). So I need to make a copy of D: correct? What is the procedure? Sorry for the newbie question..But I don’t want to mess it up.

    Thanks

    I think it's in Start>Programs>Lenovo Tools>Create Recovery Media.
