Hard Drive Recovery Utilities
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.
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 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, 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.
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.
