further information, contact your local government.
■This PC contains rechargeable batteries. After repeated use, the
batteries will finally lose their ability to hold a charge and you will need
to replace them. Under certain applicable laws and regulation, it may be
illegal to dispose of old batteries by placing them in the trash.
■Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your local
government authority for details regarding where to recycle old
batteries or how to dispose of them properly. This product contains

■If your hard disk or other storage media contains sensitive data, you
should be aware that standard deletion procedures do not remove data
from the media. These standard deletion procedures include:
■Selecting Delete for a target file
■Putting files in the Recycle Bin and emptying the Recycle Bin
■Reformatting the media
■Reinstalling an operating system from the recovery CD-ROM
The procedures above delete only the initial part of the data used for file
management. This makes the file invisible to the operating system, but
the data can still be read by specialized utilities. If you dispose of the
PC, please delete all the data on its hard disk drive. Doing so prevents
unauthorized use of such data. To ensure your data is not used for
unauthorized purposes, you can:
■Physically destroy the hard disk drive
■Use a proven specialized utility to overwrite all data
■Take the hard disk drive to a professional deletion service
Problem Procedure
The following
message appears
when executing
Recovery Disc
Creator.
"The Recovery Disc
Creator can not be
launched because
there is no recovery
partition."
You will see this message if you have previously
chosen to remove the partition and are trying to
create "Recovery Media". When there is no
recovery partition, the Recovery Disc Creator
cannot make Recovery Media. However, if you
have already created a "Recovery Media", you
can use it to restore the recovery partition.
Simply follow the instructions in "Restoring the
preinstall software from your creating Recovery
Media" section in this manual. You will be
directed to select "Restore Original Factory
Image" from the drop-down menu. If you have
not created "Recovery Media", please contact
TOSHIBA support for assistance.
