Restarting the computer
Certain conditions require that you reset the system. For example, if:
■ You change certain computer settings.
■ An error occurs and the computer does not respond to your keyboard
commands.
There are three ways to reset the computer system:
1. Click start then click Turn off computer. From the Turn off
computer menu select Restart.
2. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to display the Windows Task Manager, and
then select Shutdown and Restart.
3. Select Restart from the Turn Off Computer window in the start
menu.
4. Press the power button and hold it down for five seconds. Wait 10 to
15 seconds, and then turn the power on again by pressing the power
button.
Restoring the preinstalled software
If preinstalled files are damaged, use the Product Recovery disk or the
TOSHIBA Tools & Utilities CDROM to restore them. To restore the
operating system and all preinstalled software, follow the steps below.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be
reformatted and all data will be lost. Make sure you have a backup copy of
your data, before you perform a complete system recovery.
1. Load the Product Recovery disk in the optical media drive and turn off
the computer’s power.
2. Hold down the F12 key and turn on the power. When the TOSHIBA
logo appears, release the F12 key.
3. Use the left or right cursor key to select the CD/DVDROM Drive in
the display menu. For details, refer to the Boot priority section in
Chapter 7, HW Setup and Passwords.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions.
5. If your computer came with additional software installed, this software
cannot be recovered from the Product Recovery disk. Reinstall these
applications (e.g. Works Suite, DVD Player, Games, etc) separately
from other media.
Restoring TOSHIBA utilities and drivers
1. If Windows is working properly, individual drivers or applications can
be separately restored. Use the Tools & Utilities CDROM according
to instructions in the booklet contained in the CD box to reinstall
TOSHIBA utilities and drivers.
