Restoring the preinstalled software
If preinstalled files are damaged, use the Product Recovery media to
restore them. To restore the operating system and all preinstalled software,
follow the steps below.
Restoring the Windows operating system
1. Load the Product Recovery disc in the drive and turn off the computer's
power.
2. Switch on the computer and, when the In Touch with Tomorrow
TOSHIBA prompt appears, press the F12 key to display the Boot Menu.
3. Use the up or down cursor key to select the CD-ROM/DVD drive in the
display menu.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. If your computer came with additonal software installed, this software
can not be recovered from the Product Recovery DVD-ROM. Re-install
these applications (e.g. Works Suite, DVD Player, Games, etc.)
separately from other media.
Restoring TOSHIBA utilities and drivers
If Windows is working properly, individual drivers or applications can be
separately restored. The TOSHIBA Tools & Utilities folder (C:\TOOLSCD)
contains drivers and applications, which are included with your computer
system. If your system drivers or applications have become damaged in
some way, you can reinstall most of the components from this folder.
Create a copy of this folder to an external media for more convenience.
When you reinstall the Windows ® operating system, the hard disk will be
reformatted and all data will be lost.
