Restoring the preinstalled software from the
Recovery HDD
Part of the space on the hard disk drive is reserved as recovery partition for
restoring the pre-installed software from the hard disk drive.
When re-setting up your hard disk, do not change, delete or add partitions
in a manner other than specified in the manual. Otherwise, space for
software may be destroyed.
In addition, if you use a third-party partitioning program to reconfigure
partitions on your hard disk, it may become impossible to re-setup your
computer.
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Hold down the 0 (zero) key on the keyboard and turn on your computer.
3. When “TOSHIBA Leading Innovation >>>” appears, release the 0
(zero) key on the keyboard. A menu appears.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
You can not use System Recovery Options if restoring the pre-installed
software without System Recovery Options.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be
reformatted and all data will be lost.
