Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
Recovering without changing the internal storage drive partitions
Recovering without changing the internal storage drive partitions
deletes all information stored on the C: drive. Be sure to save your
work to external media before executing the recovery (see “Backing
up your work” on page 72). If you have created other partitions
(for example, a D: drive), those partitions will remain intact and any
information on them will not be affected.
During the internal storage drive recovery process it is strongly
recommended that your computer be connected to an external power
source via the AC adaptor.
You can recover the C: drive without affecting other partitions by
either using the utilities stored on your computer’s internal storage
drive or by using recovery media, if you have created such media.
To recover using the first method, follow the procedure below. To
recover using the second method, see “Restoring from recovery
media” on page 55.
To recover using the utilities on your computer’s internal storage
drive:
1 Make sure the computer is turned off.
2 While powering on your computer, press the
F12 key when the
initial TOSHIBA screen displays.
The Boot menu appears.
3 Using the arrow keys to scroll down, select the HDD Recovery
option, and then press the
Enter key.
4 If your system offers a choice of Windows
®
7 32-bit or 64-bit
operating system, select one at this time. If not, skip to step 5.
