Getting Started

Restoring the preinstalled software

If the preinstalled files are damaged, use the Product Recovery DVD-ROM

to restore them. To restore the operating system and all preinstalled

software, follow the steps below.

Restoring the Windows operating system

1. Load the 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 upper or lower cursor key to select the CD/DVD icon in the

displayed menu. For details, refer to the

Boot Priority

section in

Chapter 7,

HW Setup

(Depends on the model you purchased).

4. A menu appears. 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 medium for more convenience.

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

reformatted and all data will be lost.
