How to Fix Lenovo OneKey Recovery Not Working Windows 10/8/7

Method 1: Use Diskpart

When you try to open the OneKey Recovery, a error message saying “The program cannot restore the system partition because its structure is incorrect. You may have to recreate the partition to continue” shows up on the screen. It happens because the partition’s attribute is changed automatically. Here, we will learn how to fix this from the Command Prompt.

  1. First, type diskpart and hit Enter.
  2. Then, write list disk and press Enter. You will see a list of the disks on the Lenovo computer.
  3. Next, type sel disk N and hit Enter: N refers to the letter of the hard drive where OneKey Recovery is installed.
  4. Then, input list part and press Enter.

Method 2: Make a New Backup Image to Dump in Recovery Partition

If you get an error message: “One Key Recovery partition has damaged, so do not launch the main application.” on your screen when trying to run OneKey Recovery program.

  3. On the pop up window, press CTRL+SHIFT+O to run Command Prompt.
  4. Check if all partitions have the right letters. Note that OKR will only work if the OS is on drive C. Then, type dir c:

    • dir d:
    • dir e:
    • dir f:
    • dir g:
    • ……
  6. Change to the lenovo_part partition. If it is the G: drive, just type g:.
  7. Then, type cd onekey\osimage.
  8. Type osimage /fb.
  9. The backup will start. Wait patiently. A message – “Backup Success…” will appear when it is finished. Then, type dir \okrbackup\factory.
