Connecting Other External Devices Hard Drive Recovery Utilities 85 Recovering the entire HDD without the HDD Recovery Area This option recovers your C: drive without creating the HDD Recovery Utilities partition. This will increase the size of your C: drive. Recovering your C: drive to its factory default state without the recovery partition reformats all partitions on the HDD (for example, if you created a D: drive, it will be deleted during the recovery process), and your information will be lost. Be sure to save your work on external media before proceeding. To recover your C: drive without the recovery partition: 1 Press 3 on the keyboard when the TOSHIBA HDD Recovery Utility screen displays. A confirmation message appears, reminding you that all partitions will be reformatted and all data will be lost during the recovery process. Be sure you have saved your work on external media before proceeding. 2 Click Yes to begin the restoration. Once complete, a message displays that the HDD has been recovered. 3 Press any key on your keyboard to restart the computer. Checking the HDD operating status After restoring your hard disk drive, you can check its status as follows: 1 Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 2 Double-click the Administrative Tools icon. 3 Double-click the Computer Management icon. 4 Click Disk Management. 5 Highlight the hard disk drive in the Volume list to display its status in the lower portion of the screen.
