Getting Started

Restoring the pre-installed software from your created Recovery
Discs

If the pre-installed files are damaged, you are able to 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 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. Please

refer to the

Boot Priority

section in Chapter 7, HW Setup & BIOS Setup

for further information.

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.

Please set your BIOS to default before you recover your computer to the

factory state!

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.

When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be

reformatted and all data will be lost.
