Restoring the pre-installed software from your created
Recovery Media
If the pre-installed files are damaged, you are able to either use the
Recovery Media you have created or the Solid State 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
The Keyboard
in Chapter 3, Operating
Basics, for further details.
You can not use System Recovery Options if restoring the pre-installed
software without System Recovery Options.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the Solid State Drive
will be reformatted and all data will be lost.
1. Load the Recovery Media into the external Optical Disc Drive or insert
the recovery USB Flash Memory into one available USB port.
2. Turn off the computer's power.
3. While holding down
F12
key on the keyboard, turn on your computer -
when the
TOSHIBA Leading Innovation >>>
logo screen appears,
release the
F12
key.
4. Use the up and down cursor key to select the appropriate option from
the menu according to your actual recovery media. Please refer to the
Boot Setting
section for further information.
5. A menu will be displayed from which you should follow the on-screen
instructions.
When drivers/utilities are installed, you can setup the respective drivers/
utilities from the following place. To open the setup files, Click
Start -> All
Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Support & Recovery -> Applications and
Drivers
.
If you have previously chosen to remove the recovery partition and are
trying to create "Recovery Media", you will see the following message: "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", please contact TOSHIBA
support for assistance.
