Getting Started 61 Recovering the Internal Storage Drive Recovery option Description Recover without This option recovers just your C: drive, leaving any other changing the internal partitions you may have created (for example, a D: drive) storage drive partitions intact. See "Recovering without changing the internal storage drive partitions" on page 66. Restore from recovery If you have created recovery DVDs/media (strongly DVDs/media recommended), you can recover your system even if the recovery utilities have been deleted from your internal storage drive or if you have replaced your computer's internal storage drive. See "Creating recovery DVDs/media" on page 69 and "Restoring from recovery DVDs/media" on page 70. NOTE ❖ During the internal storage drive recovery process it is strongly recommended that your computer be connected to an external power source via the AC adaptor. ❖ It is strongly recommended that you create recovery DVDs/media before using your system for the first time. For more information on creating recovery DVDs/media, see "Creating recovery DVDs/media" on page 69. ❖ The Toshiba Recovery Wizard also provides the option of erasing your internal storage drive, without restoring the information on the drive. See "Erasing the Internal Storage Drive" on page 71 for more information. Recovering to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method) Recovering an internal storage drive to its out-of-box state deletes all partitions on the drive and all information stored in those partitions. Be sure to save your work to external media before executing the recovery. NOTE During the recovery process it is strongly recommended that your computer be connected to an external power source via the AC adaptor.
