Restoring the pre-installed software from your ordered
Recovery Discs
If the pre-installed files are damaged, you are able to use the Recovery
Discs you have ordered to restore the computer to the state it was in when
you originally received it. To perform this restoration, follow the steps
below:
1. Load the Recovery Discs into the optical disc drive and turn off the
computer’s power.
2. While holding down F12 key on the keyboard, turn on your computer -
when the
TOSHIBA logo screen appears, release the F12 key.
3. Use the cursors key to select the CD-ROM icon from the menu. Please
refer to the Boot Priority section in Chapter 7, HW Setup, for further
information.
4. A menu will be displayed from which you should follow the on-screen
instructions.
When the sound mute feature has been activated by pressing the
Fn + ESC key, be sure to disable this to allow sounds to be heard before
starting the restore process. Please refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard, for
further details.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be
reformatted and all data will be lost.
