Hard Drive Recovery Utilities
(Available on certain models)
Your computer has been configured with a hard disk partition to
allow you to recover your hard disk drive or reinstall selected
applications and software features or utilities.
It is strongly recommended that you create recovery CDs/DVDs
before using your system. For more information on creating
Recovery media see “Creating Recovery CDs/DVDs” on page 57.
Using the HDD Recovery, you can:
Create Hard Drive Recovery CDs or DVDs using a writable
drive.
Recover your hard disk drive to the factory-set default.
Recover just your C: drive, leaving any other partitions you
may have created intact, for example, a D: drive.
Recover your hard disk drive to the factory-set default without
the HDD Recovery partition.
Delete your hard disk drive recovery partition without the risk
of losing your data.
Reinstall drivers and applications which were bundled with
your computer.
Creating Recovery CDs/DVDs
Depending on your system configuration, you may be able to copy
the Hard Drive Recovery Utilities to CD or DVD which gives you
the ability to recover your hard disk drive and reclaim additional
hard disk space used to store the Hard Drive Recovery Utilities on
your computer.
The system will prompt you to insert the appropriate number of blank
CDs or DVDs to copy the Hard Drive Recovery Utilities. If your optical
disc drive is not writable, contact Toshiba Customer Support to obtain
the Recovery media for your system.
