Did I Wipe My Bootrec?

I was trying to eliminate the possibility of a corrupt bootloader files.

I have a Lenovo laptop, I used the Bios NOVA button to access Lenovo One Key Recovery and re-install (?) windows back to the factory version. By doing this would you assume that I would have solved any corrupt bootloader /bootrec issues? Or could bootloader issues still be present because I used the built-in Lenovo wipe on the laptop instead of like an external fresh iSO image install?


Here is an image of the option I selected: Imgur: The magic of the Internet
^See screenshot

But what confuses me is it saying this:

"Note: To perform Lenovo system restore with data loss, you need to backup files on the system drive. This is because the Lenovo OneKey Recovery only deletes files on the system partition."

So that mean it was not a true wipe? I dont get it. All files drivers and updates on it were wiped.

These are some Lenovo links:

Where can I find the OneKey Recovery (Novo) button on ideapad laptops - Lenovo Support US

okay. understand. I'd be glad to delete the question or edit it to reword it but I cannot. It is essentially the same thing as using Windows built-in reset feature so ignoring the Lenovo noca recovery tool. Let's say I'm just using the windows 10 built-in reset this pc feature, does that include wiping the bootloader files?

Jerry,

Since your question is about the Lenovo Nova button & Lenovo One Key Recovery, I think you should search Lenovo Support & Lenovo User Forums.

Please don't get annoyed but the next time you ask a question, include the subject in the title you gave your question in order to attract the attention of people who know about the subject. People see threads in a list of titles and only see more if they are attracted enough by the title
- to hover their cursors over the title for a moment to see your first couple of lines, or
- to click on the title to open the thread.
Your subject this time should have included Lenovo Nova button & Lenovo One Key Recovery rather than Did I Wipe My Bootrec?


Best of luck,
Denis
