Recovering the C: partition of the HDD without changing the
current partition size
Recovering the C: drive to its factory default setting reformats your
drive and your information on the recovered drive will be lost. Be
sure to save your work to external media first. If you have created
other partitions (for example, a D: drive) those partitions and any
information on them will not be affected and will remain intact.
To recover only your C: drive:
1 On the Toshiba Recovery Wizard Screen, select Recovery of
Factory Default Software, and then click
2 Select Recover without changing the hard drive partitions.
A confirmation message appears, reminding you that all
information on the C: drive will be lost during the recovery
process. Be sure you have saved your work to external media
before proceeding.
3 Click Next to begin the restoration.
Once complete, a message displays that the HDD has been
recovered.
4 Press any key on your keyboard to restart the computer.

first.
