Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
Recovering to a custom size partition
Recovering to a custom size partition deletes all partitions on the
drive and all information stored in those partitions. Be sure to save
your work to external media before executing the recovery. For more
information, see “Backing up your work” on page68.
The “Recover to a custom size partition” option restores your C:
drive to its out-of-box state, and allows you to specify the size for
the C: partition. You can resize and recover the C: drive using the
utilities stored on your computer’s internal storage drive or 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 page52.
To resize and recover the C: drive using the utilities on your
computer’s internal storage drive:
1Make sure the computer is turned off.
2While powering on your computer, press the F12 key when the
initial TOSHIBA screen displays.
The boot menu appears.
3Using the arrow keys to scroll down, select the HDD
Recovery option, and then press the ENTER key.
4A warning screen appears, stating that when the recovery is
executed, all data will be deleted and rewritten unless the
“Recovery of Factory Default Software with user’s data”
option is selected in the next step. Click Yes to continue.
