Getting Started

Restoring the pre-installed software from the Recovery hard disk

drive

A portion of the total hard disk drive space is configured as a hidden

recovery partition. This partition stores files which can be used to restore

pre-installed software in the event of a problem.

If you subsequently set up your hard disk drive again, do not change,

delete or add partitions in a manner other than specified in the manual,

otherwise you may find that space for the required software is not available.

In addition, if you use a third-party partitioning program to reconfigure the

partitions on your hard disk drive, you may find that it becomes impossible

to setup your computer.

1. Turn off your computer.

2. While holding down 0 (zero) key on the keyboard, turn on your

computer.

A menu will be displayed from which you should follow the on-screen

instructions.

Ordering Recovery Discs from TOSHIBA*

You can order Product Recovery discs for your notebook from the

TOSHIBA Europe Backup Media Online Shop.

1. Visit http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu on the Internet.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

You will receive your Recovery Discs within two weeks after placing your

order.

When the sound mute feature has been activated by pressing the Mute

panel (Fn + ESC), 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.

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.

Please set your BIOS to default before you recover your computer to the

factory state!

* Please note that this service is not free-of-charge.
