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.

NOTE	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.

NOTE	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.
