Restarting the computer
Certain conditions require that you reset the system. For example, if:
■
You change certain computer settings.
■
An error occurs and the computer does not respond to your keyboard
commands.
There are three ways to restart the computer system:
1. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del or Windows Security tablet button to display
the Windows Task Manager, then select Shutdown and Restart.
2. Select Restart from the Turn Off Computer window in the start
menu.
3. Slide the power button and hold it down for five seconds. Wait 10 to
15 seconds, then turn the power on again by sliding the power button.
Restoring the preinstalled software from the Product
Recovery CD-ROM or DVD ROM
If preinstalled files are damaged, use the Product Recovery CD ROM or
DVD ROM to restore them. To restore the operating system and all
preinstalled software, follow the steps below.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be
reformatted and all data will be lost.
1. Load the Product Recovery CD ROM in the external optional optical
disk drive and turn off the computer's power.
2. Hold down the F12 key and turn on the power. When In Touch with
Tomorrow TOSHIBA appears, release the F12 key.
3. Use the left or right cursor key to select the CD ROM icon in the
display menu. For details, refer to the Boot priority section in
Chapter 7, HW Setup.
4. Follow the on screen instructions.
5. If your computer came with additional software installed, this software
can not be recovered from the Product Recovery disk. Re install these
applications (e.g. Works Suite, DVD Player, Games, etc) separately
from other media.
