Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
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 DVDs/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
DVDs/media” on page 76.
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.
4If your system offers a choice of Windows® 7 32-bit or 64-bit
operating system, select one at this time. If not, skip to step 5.
5A 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.
