Restoring the complete system
To restore the operating system and all preinstalled software, follow the
steps below.
1. Load the Product Recovery DVD-ROM in the 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 left or right cursor key to select the CD-ROM icon in the
displayed menu. For details, refer to the Boot Priority section in Chapter
7, HW Setup.
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, 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 sound mute is turned ON by the Fn + Esc key, turn OFF before
starting restore. Refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard , for details.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be
reformatted and all data will be lost.
