Getting Started Restoring the pre-installed software from the Recovery Hard Disk Drive A portion of the total hard disk drive space is configured as a hidden recovery partition. This partition stores files which can be used to restore pre-installed software in the event of a problem. If you subsequently set up your hard disk drive again, do not change, delete or add partitions in a manner other than specified in the manual, otherwise you may find that space for the required software is not available. In addition, if you use a third-party partitioning program to reconfigure the partitions on your hard disk drive, you may find that it becomes impossible to setup your computer. When the sound mute feature has been activated by pressing the Fn + Esc key, be sure to disable this to allow sounds to be heard before starting the restore process. Please refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard, for further details. 1. Turn off your computer. 2. While holding down 0 (zero) key on the keyboard, turn on your computer. 3. A menu will be displayed from which you should follow the on-screen instructions. Restoring the pre-installed software from your created Recovery Discs If the pre-installed files are damaged, you are able to either use the Recovery Discs you have created or the hard disk drive recovery process to restore the computer to the state it was in when you originally received it. To perform this restoration, follow the steps below: When the sound mute feature has been activated by pressing the Fn + Esc key, be sure to disable this to allow sounds to be heard before starting the restore process. Please refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard, for further details. When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disc will be reformatted and all data will be lost. You can not use System Recovery Options if restoring the pre-installed software without System Recovery options. 1. Load the Recovery Discs into the optical disc drive and turn off the computer's power. 2. While holding down F12 key on the keyboard, turn on your computer when the In Touch with Tomorrow TOSHIBA logo screen appears, release the F12 key. 3. Use the left and right cursors key to select the optical disc drive icon from the menu. Please refer to the Boot Priority section in Chapter 7, HW Setup for further information.
