I stumbled across this article: Īfter reading what was going on, I compared my partitions to what they should approximately be on this link (I don't know exactly what they are, if anyone has an untouched Y510P that can help with that, it would be greatly appreciated). My next step was looking around to solve that issue. A while ago (probably late July or early August), I needed to in order to attempt the dual-boot with Windows 8 and Ubuntu, and this 'breaks' the one key recovery process by messing with the partition labels and whatnot. The selected service is unavailable.'Īfter a little googling, I came across the source of my problem: resizing partitions. 'The program cannot find the service partition. I first discovered a problem when I went to start Lenovo One-Key Recovery (Version 8) in Windows, and selected the 'System Recovery' option.
I also had to install rEFInd in order to get things 'working.' I have a Lenovo Ideapad Y510P with Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.04 Dual-Booted.
I am in a stick situation with dual-booting Windows 8 and Ubuntu, and I want to wipe my computer to factory settings.
