Restoring the preinstalled software from the Product Recovery Media
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.
1. Load the Product Recovery Media in the drive and turn off the
computer’s power.
2. Hold down the F12 key and turn on the power. When In Touch with
Tomorrow TOSHIBA appears, release the F12 key.
3. Use the cursor keys to select CD/DVD in the display menu. For details,
refer to the Boot priority section in Chapter 7,
.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. If your computer came with additional software installed, this software
can not be recovered from the Product Recovery DVD-ROM. Re-install
these applications (e.g. Works Suite, Games, etc.) separately from
other media.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be
reformatted and all data will be lost.
