Restoring the pre-installed software from your created

Discs you have created to restore the computer to the state it was in when
you originally received it. To perform this restoration, follow the steps
below:
1. Load the Recovery Discs into the optical disc drive and turn off the
computer’s power.
2. While holding down F12 key on the keyboard, turn on your computer -
when the
TOSHIBA
logo screen appears, release the F12 key.
3. Use the cursors key to select the CD-ROM icon from the menu.
4. A menu will be displayed from which you should follow the on-screen
instructions.
Restoring the pre-installed software from the Recovery
hard disk drive
On your Data drive you may find a folder “HDDRecovery”. This folder
stores files which can be used to recover your system to the originally
installed factory state.
If you subsequently set up your hard disk drive again, do not change,
delete or add partitions in a manner other than specified in the manual,
otherwise you may find that space for the required software is not available.
In addition, if you use a third-party partitioning program to reconfigure the
partitions on your hard disk drive, you may find that it becomes impossible
to setup your computer.
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Turn on the computer and when the TOSHIBA screen appears
repeatedly press the F8 key.
