Restoring the pre-installed software from your created Recovery
Discs
If the pre-installed files are damaged, you are able to either use the
Recovery 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 (1st disc of) 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 TOSHIBA Leading Innovation>>> appears, release the F12
key.
3. Use the up and down cursor keys 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
A portion of the total hard disk drive space is configured as a hidden
recovery partition. This partition stores files which can be used to restore
pre-installed software in the event of a problem.
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.
When the sound mute feature has been activated by pressing the
FN + ESC key, be sure to disable this to allow sounds to be heard before
starting the restore process. Please refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard , for
further details.
You can not use System Recovery Options if restoring the pre-installed
software without System Recovery Options.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be
reformatted and all data will be lost.
When the sound mute feature has been activated by pressing the Mute
panel (Fn + ESC), be sure to disable this to allow sounds to be heard
before starting the restore process. Please refer to Chapter 5, The
Keyboard , for further details.
You can not use System Recovery Options if restoring the pre-installed
software without System Recovery Options.
