Restoring the pre-installed software from the Product Recovery
Discs
If the pre-installed files are damaged, you are able to either use the
Recovery Discs you have created or the hard disk 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 Chapter 5,
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 hard disk will be
reformatted and all data will be lost.
1. Load the Recovery Discs into the optical disc drive and turn off the
computer's power.
2. While holding down F12 key on the keyboard, turn on your computer -
when the In Touch with Tomorrow TOSHIBA logo screen
appears, release the F12 key.
3. Use the left and right cursors key to select the CD-ROM icon from the
menu. Please refer to the
& BIOS Setup
4. A menu will be displayed from which you should follow the on-screen
instructions.
5. If your computer came with additional software installed, this software
can not be recovered from the Product Recovery DVD-ROM. Re-install
these applications (e.g. Works Suite, Games, etc.) separately from
other media.
