Restoring the complete system

To restore the operating system and all preinstalled software, follow the steps below.

When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be reformatted and all data will be lost.

1.Load the Product Recovery CD-ROM in the drive and turn off the computer’s power.

2.Hold down the F12 key and turn on the power. When In Touch with Tomorrow TOSHIBA appears, release the F12 key.

3.Use the left or right cursor key to select the CD-ROM drive in the display menu. For details, refer to the Boot priority section in Chapter 7, HW Setup and Passwords.

4.Follow the on-screen instructions.

5.If your computer came with additional software installed, this software can not be recovered from the Product Recovery disk. Re-install these applications (e.g. Works Suite, DVD Player, Games, etc) separately from other media.

Restoring TOSHIBA utilities and drivers

If Windows is working properly, individual drivers or applications can be separately restored. Use the Tools & Utilities CD-ROM according to instructions in the booklet contained in the CD box to reinstall TOSHIBA utilities and drivers.
