We currently use a shared server drive at our office that is S: on each users computer. It has to be S: for some of our ERP software to function correctly. How do I go about removing the Lenovo Assigned S: partition from the Lenovo notebooks I have purchased? I have searched to forums but found no answers. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Thank you in advance,
Michael

It doesn't seem to work. I am running Vista on these two computers. I hope someone knows how to help me...this is getting really frustrating.

What is ON the S: drive? Just regular files, or a Lenovo recovery partition, or what? If it's just a simple partition it can be re-named in Computer Manager.

Ignore the title of the article and scroll down the the details of which registry entries need to be modified.

Lenovo seems to say removing or renaming S "may cause the system to become unstable":
