Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

❖If your recovery files are on DVDs, insert the first recovery

DVD into your optional external writable optical disc

drive. Consult the documentation that came with your

computer is powered off.

❖If your recovery files are on a USB flash drive, connect the

USB flash drive to your computer.

3Turn on your computer while pressing the F12 key on your

keyboard.

The Boot menu displays.

4Using the arrow keys, select the DVD option or the USB Flash

option, depending on which type of media you are using, and

then press the ENTER key.

5A warning screen appears, stating that when the recovery is

executed all data on your internal storage drive will be deleted

and rewritten. Click Yes to continue.

6Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery

process.

When the process is complete, a message displays indicating

that the drive has been recovered.

7Click Finish to restart the computer.

Refresh your PC (with user’s data)

Using “Refresh your PC” recovers your internal storage drive to

factory default state and attempts to save your data. Toshiba does not

guarantee successful data back-up. Please make a complete back up

of your data to external media before executing the recovery. For

more information, see “Backing up your work” on page 73.

During the recovery process your computer must be connected to an

external power source via the AC adaptor.
