Restoring the pre-installed software from your created
Recovery Media
If the pre-installed files are damaged, you are able to use the Recovery
Media you have created to restore the computer to the state it was in when
you originally received it. To perform this restoration, do the following:
Make sure that the AC adaptor is connected during the restoring
process.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the internal storage
drive will be reformatted and all data will be lost.
If your model has fingerprint function, before you reinstall the Windows
operating system, delete the registered fingerprints. Otherwise, same
fingerprints cannot be registered after the reinstallation.

If you have previously chosen to remove the recovery partition and are
trying to create "Recovery Media", the following message appears: "The
Recovery Media Creator can not be launched because there is no recovery
partition."
When there is no recovery partition, the Recovery Media Creator cannot
make Recovery Media.
However, if you have already created a Recovery Media, you can use it to
restore the recovery partition.
If you have not created Recovery Media, contact TOSHIBA support for
assistance.
