64 Getting Started Recovering the Internal Storage Drive 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. For more information, see "Backing up your work" on page 112. NOTE During the recovery process it is strongly recommended that your computer be connected to an external power source via the AC adaptor. You can recover the original factory image (returning the computer to its out-of-box state) using the utilities stored on your computer's internal storage drive or using recovery DVDs/media, if you have created such media. To recover using the first method, follow the procedure below. To recover using the second method, see "Restoring from recovery DVDs/media" on page 76. To recover the original factory image using the utilities on your computer's internal storage drive: 1 Make sure the computer is turned off. 2 While powering on your computer, press the F12 key when the initial TOSHIBA screen displays. The boot menu appears. 3 Using the arrow keys to scroll down, select the HDD Recovery option, and then press the ENTER key. 4 If your system offers a choice of Windows® 7 32-bit or 64-bit operating system, select one at this time. If not, skip to step 5.
