Getting Started

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.

1. Load the Recovery Media in the optional optical media 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 key to select the CD/DVD icon in the display menu.

For details, refer to the Boot Priority section in Chapter 7,

HW Setup

and Passwords

.

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 disk. 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.
